At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Piqua, Ohio, and the surrounding Miami County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Piqua's pre-war housing along Greene and Caldwell Streets generates a steady run of gut remodels and roof work, and construction along the Interstate 75 corridor north of Dayton keeps the larger containers moving.
What you pay depends on the container size, the weight of what you load, how long you keep it, and the disposal cost at the county transfer station. Below are the price ranges, Piqua's own dumpster permit rules, and what can and cannot go in your container.

Piqua has one feature that sets its pricing apart from most Ohio cities, and it is worth understanding before you book.
Start with size. The container you choose sets the base cost, and ordering one size up is almost always cheaper than discovering you need a second haul.
Then weight. Plaster and lath out of an older Piqua house is dense, and so are brick, mortar, and tile. A small container can reach its weight allowance while it still looks half empty.
The local feature is the destination. Miami County operates under flow control, which means every load of solid waste generated in the county has to go to the county transfer station. There is no shopping around for a cheaper gate, so the disposal portion of your quote is set by a single public facility rather than by market competition. On balance that makes pricing here predictable, which is useful when you are budgeting a job.
The last factor is access. If the container has to sit in a city street or alley rather than on a drive, a City permit comes first and the rules that come with it add a little work on site. That is covered next.

Choose by the volume you expect, then sanity-check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes across Miami County.
Dense material belongs in the 10-Yard Dumpster here. A bathroom gut, a porch slab break-out, or a load of brick reaches the weight allowance well before it fills, and a bigger container would only add cost.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage cleanout, one room of flooring, or a small roof tear-off. It is the sensible move up where a 10 would be short on space.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Piqua homeowners settle on. It covers a whole-house cleanout, a kitchen and bath together, or a standard re-roof.
The 30-Yard Dumpster takes a full renovation, a new build, or a commercial fit-out that throws up plenty of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is for the biggest jobs: commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts, and high-volume construction where the material is bulky rather than heavy.
If your job falls between two sizes, describe it to your account manager and they will pick the one that fits.
Private ground needs nothing from the City. A container on your own driveway or on a private job site needs no City permit in Piqua.
A city street or alley is a different matter, and Piqua is unusually clear about it. The City runs a permit named for exactly this purpose, and its own form states that a dumpster permit is required for the placement of a dumpster within the City of Piqua right-of-way. The permit is issued by the Engineering Division of the Community Services Department at 201 West Water Street, and you can reach that office on 937-778-2044.
The application asks for more than a signature. You submit a site plan showing where the container will sit, with the distances marked to alleys, fire hydrants, driveways, street signs, and the nearest intersection. The container has to be placed in front of, behind, or alongside the business or residence where the work is happening, not somewhere more convenient down the street.
Two conditions matter on site. First, barricades are required at each end of the container, and the owner or contractor is responsible for putting them there and keeping them there. Work zone setups in the right-of-way have to follow the Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and the City prints approved cone and barricade examples on the form itself. Second, the owner or contractor carries responsibility for repairing any damage to curbing, street, sidewalk, or utilities caused by the placement.
There is also a hard limit worth planning around: the permit allows the use of one container for no more than thirty consecutive days. One container at a time, and a thirty-day clock. The City does not publish a fee on the form, so call the Engineering Division to confirm the current charge. Your account manager will walk you through the application and supply our company details, which the form asks for, before anything is scheduled.
Almost all remodeling and cleanout debris loads without fuss. The limits come from Ohio rules and from what the county transfer station will take.
In Ohio scrap tires may go only to specially licensed tire facilities rather than an ordinary landfill, and carrying more than ten takes a state registration. Keep tires separate and tell us about them at booking.
Hazardous material stays out of every container: paint with liquid still in it, solvents, fuel, motor oil, antifreeze, pool chemicals, pesticides, and any sealed drum of liquid. Asbestos is licensed removal work and travels its own route, which matters in Piqua's older housing where it turns up in floor tile, pipe wrap, and siding.
The county facility also takes several items only on separate terms rather than inside a mixed load. Electronics and latex paint are accepted there at the regular disposal charge rather than free, appliances need checking in advance, and sharps have to be in a taped rigid container. Window glass should be boxed and labeled rather than loose.
One easy-to-miss county rule: material brought in has to be under eight feet long. Long lumber, pipe, and fencing need cutting down before they go in, or they can be refused at the gate.
If you are unsure where something belongs, ask your account manager before it goes over the rail.
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.
Miami County does not leave the destination to chance. The County states that its transfer station manages all solid waste from residents and businesses throughout the county, and that all waste haulers must bring all solid waste generated in Miami County to the transfer station under county flow control rules. So your container is going to one place, and we can tell you exactly where before it is even delivered.
The Miami County Transfer Station sits at 2200 N Co Rd 25A, Troy, OH 45373, about twelve miles south of Piqua. It is operated by the Miami County Sanitary Engineering Department on behalf of the county solid waste district, which makes it a public facility rather than a commercial one. Opening runs from 6 in the morning until 6 at night on weekdays and from 7 in the morning until 2:30 in the afternoon on Saturday, and every vehicle has to be off the property before closing, with arrivals inside the last ten minutes liable to be turned away.
The holiday pattern is worth knowing if your job runs across one. The facility closes on New Year's Day and Christmas Day and shuts at 4 p.m. on both eves. On Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving it opens for commercial haulers only, from 6 a.m. to noon, which means a container can still be collected on those days when a resident could not self-haul.
The County sets its own disposal charge by material and does not publish a rate we can reproduce here, so call the solid waste district office on 937-440-5653 if you want it direct. Your account manager will confirm the disposal portion of your quote before delivery.
2200 N Co Rd 25A, Troy, OH 45373
Operated by the Miami County Sanitary Engineering Department. Open Monday to Friday 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Most Piqua rentals can be scheduled inside one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If the container needs a street or alley spot, allow extra days for the permit and the site plan.
Five things to sort before the truck shows up:
The county facility's own schedule is worth planning around too. It closes at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday and does not open on Sunday, so a container filled late on a Saturday may not be hauled until Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery throughout Piqua and the nearby Miami and Shelby County communities, from the downtown streets and the neighborhoods along the Great Miami River out to Covington, Fletcher, and the farms east of town. From one driveway to a commercial yard, delivery, pickup, and disposal are arranged around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, walk you through the City permit if your spot is in the street, 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 rates run from $399 to $499 on a 10-yard up to $699 to $899 on a 40-yard. The county disposal charge and your total weight move the final figure. Your account manager will state the tonnage allowance and the overage rate at booking.
On the great majority of jobs the container costs less. Self-hauling means paying the county charge on every trip, plus fuel, a trailer, and your own hours, and material over eight feet long will not be accepted at all. One container clears the job in one trip.
Yes. Figure a three-seat couch at roughly a fifth of a 10-yard, with room left for a bed frame and cartons. With furniture you will fill the space long before the weight becomes an issue.
Keep out hazardous material, liquids, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Ohio bars scrap tires from ordinary landfills, so those stay out too. Electronics, appliances, and latex paint are handled separately at the county facility, and nothing longer than eight feet can go in.
The smallest container is also the cheapest to start, at $399 to $499. Cheapest on paper is not always cheapest overall, though. Plaster and masonry can push a small container past its weight allowance quickly, so keeping dense material in a dedicated load often saves more than sizing down.
Three days is usually billed the same as five, because the price follows the job rather than the day count. What goes in moves your bill far more than the day count. Check with your account manager on the weight allowance and the cost of a further ton.
Allowed material covers lumber, drywall, plaster, lath, roofing, flooring, siding, cabinets, fixtures, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout junk. Clean masonry goes in too, and separating it out normally works out cheaper. Anything unusual deserves a word with your account manager beforehand.
