At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Pickerington, Ohio, and the surrounding Fairfield and Franklin County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Pickerington has grown fast on the east side of the Columbus metro, so the work here runs from finishing basements and replacing roofs in the newer subdivisions to full renovations in Olde Pickerington Village and construction on the open ground out toward Canal Winchester.
What you pay depends on container size, the weight of the debris, how long you keep it, and the per-ton charge where the load is taken. Below are the price ranges, how the local rules work, and what can and cannot go in your container.

Pickerington is one of the few places where we can tell you the disposal charge almost to the dollar before you book, and that is worth knowing.
The container you choose sets the baseline. Going one size up is usually cheaper than a second haul, especially on a basement or whole-house job where the volume is hard to judge.
Weight is the second. Shingles, tile, mortar, and concrete reach a weight allowance fast. A standard re-roof can fill the allowance on a small container while the container still looks half empty.
Disposal is the third, and here it is unusually transparent. Construction and demolition debris from the Columbus area goes to the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill, and the authority that runs it publishes its own per-ton charge. As of its change effective 29 September 2025, construction and demolition debris generated inside the district is charged $39.75 per ton at the landfill. Material generated outside the district is charged at a higher rate, and Pickerington sits right at the district edge, so which rate applies depends on your address. Your account manager settles that before quoting.
The fourth factor is access and timing, which the next two sections cover.

Choose by the volume you expect, then check it against the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes across the east Columbus suburbs.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right size for dense material. A bathroom gut, a patio slab break-out, or a load of brick reaches the weight allowance long before it fills up.
The 15-Yard Dumpster takes a garage clear, a single room of flooring, or a modest roof tear-off. It is the sensible step up when a 10 looks tight on space.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Pickerington homeowners choose. It handles a basement clear plus a bathroom, a whole-house cleanout, or a standard re-roof on a two-story house.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a full renovation, a new build on an infill lot, or a commercial fit-out producing a lot of mixed debris at once.
The 40-Yard Dumpster covers the largest jobs, where volume rather than weight is the problem: commercial demolition, industrial clearing, and big construction programs.
If your job falls between two sizes, describe it to your account manager and they will choose the one that fits.
On private property, a container on your own driveway or on a private job site is the normal arrangement in Pickerington and that is where we recommend putting it. Private ground keeps the job simple and avoids the extra approvals that come with a public street.
For a public street or right-of-way, the answer depends on whose road it is, and Pickerington sits inside Violet Township, so both the City and the Township can be involved. A city street is the City of Pickerington's to authorize. A township road is the Township's. Which office applies comes down to the road your drop spot sits on, so your account manager calls the right one and confirms what is needed for your exact spot before delivery is scheduled.
The Township office is a useful contact in its own right. Violet Township is at 10190 Blacklick Eastern Road in Pickerington and can be reached on 614-575-5556, Monday through Friday from 8 in the morning to 4:30 in the afternoon, with a daily lunch closure from noon to one o'clock.
Two practical points that hold regardless of whose road it is. First, a container in a travel lane or on a sidewalk needs barricades or cones and a clear line of sight, and it is far simpler to find a spot on private ground. Second, approvals take days rather than hours, so decide early whether the container is going on the drive or in the street. Your account manager will help you work that out when you book.
Nearly all remodeling and cleanout debris loads without fuss. The limits come from Ohio rules and from what the receiving landfill refuses.
The landfill's own list is short and strict. It accepts general solid waste, including furniture, carpeting, and household trash, and it does not accept yard waste, liquids, or anything hazardous. That makes yard waste the one that catches people out on a landscaping job, because grass, leaves, and brush cannot ride along in a debris container here.
Ohio bars scrap tires from ordinary landfills and permits them only at specially licensed tire facilities, with a state registration needed above ten. Keep tires to one side and flag them at booking.
Paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, antifreeze, pool chemicals, pesticides, and sealed drums of liquid all need separate handling. Violet Township runs a household hazardous waste collection day for exactly that material, with the next one on 31 October 2026 from 8 in the morning to noon. Asbestos is licensed removal work and travels its own route.
If an item has you guessing, put it to your account manager before loading it.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Construction and demolition debris from the Pickerington area now has a single destination, and that changed recently. The Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio separated construction and demolition debris from general waste effective 29 September 2025, and from that date such debris is no longer accepted at the authority's transfer stations and has to be taken directly to the landfill instead.
That landfill is the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill at 3851 London Groveport Road, Grove City, OH 43123. It is owned and operated by the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio itself, which makes it a public facility rather than a commercial one. Opening runs from 5 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon on weekdays and from 6 in the morning until noon on Saturday, and the authority can be reached on 614-875-8563.
Three of its rules affect your job directly. Every truck and trailer load has to be fully tarped before entering, and an untarped load is charged an extra fee, so a container that is loaded above the rail can cost you money before it even arrives. Keeping the load level is not just good practice here, it is cheaper. Drivers tarp before they roll, so that part is handled, but how high you fill the container is up to you. The authority also limits tipping to haulers holding a credit agreement with it, and it does not permit residents to use its transfer stations at all, so the route through a licensed hauler is the practical one for a construction load.
Your account manager confirms the destination and the disposal portion of your bill before the container is delivered, including whether your address is charged at the in-district rate or the higher out-of-district one.
3851 London Groveport Road, Grove City, OH 43123
Owned and operated by the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio. Open Monday to Friday 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 6 a.m. to noon.
Most Pickerington rentals can be scheduled inside one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If the container has to sit on a public street, allow several extra days so the right approval can be confirmed first.
Five points worth attending to before the truck arrives:
The landfill's own week is worth planning around too. It closes at noon on Saturday and does not open on Sunday, so a container filled on a Saturday afternoon will usually be hauled on Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery throughout Pickerington and the surrounding Violet Township and east Columbus communities, from Olde Pickerington Village and the subdivisions off Refugee Road out toward Canal Winchester, Blacklick, and Baltimore. From a single driveway to a commercial site, we work delivery, pickup, and disposal around your timetable.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, confirm which disposal rate applies to your address, and give you a clear price on the call.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
Five-day pricing starts at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard and tops out at $699 to $899 for a 40-yard. The landfill's per-ton charge and your total weight move the final figure, and whether your address is in or out of the district matters too. Your account manager pins all of that down at booking.
The container wins on cost for most jobs. Self-hauling means paying per ton on every trip, tarping each load to avoid an extra charge, and spending your own hours driving to Grove City and back. A single container clears the lot in one trip.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a bed frame, a dresser, and a stack of cartons. With bulky furniture you run out of space long before you reach the weight limit.
The receiving landfill refuses yard waste, liquids, and anything hazardous, so grass, brush, paint, solvents, and fuel all stay out. Scrap tires cannot go to an ordinary Ohio landfill either. Asbestos needs licensed removal and travels separately from your container.
The lowest opening figure we quote is the 10-yard at $399 to $499. Because disposal here is charged by the ton, the cheapest container is not always the cheapest job. Keeping shingles, tile, or masonry in a dedicated load usually saves more than choosing a smaller size does.
A three-day hold is normally billed as five is, because the price tracks the job and not the day count. Weight matters far more than the calendar, especially where the landfill charges per ton. Ask your account manager what weight is covered and what a further ton adds.
Most construction and household debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, siding, cabinets, fixtures, furniture, carpeting, cardboard, and general cleanout material. Clean concrete, brick, and rubble are taken as well, and keeping them separate usually costs less. Give your account manager a call about anything questionable before it goes in.
