At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Pottstown, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding Montgomery County boroughs and townships, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Pottstown is a tight street grid of brick rowhomes and twins with alleys behind them, and that mix drives a steady stream of porch rebuilds, roof tear-offs, rental turnovers and new construction out along the Route 100 and Route 422 corridors.
Four things set what you pay: the size you choose, how heavy the debris is, how many days you keep the container, and the weight charge at the landfill that takes your load. Below you will find the price ranges, the Borough's on-street permit rules, what Pennsylvania keeps out of a container, and where your debris actually ends up.

Container size is the first lever. A larger container costs more at the outset, and it still beats paying for a second haul when a job runs long.
Weight is the second, and it matters more in Pottstown than most people expect. Brick, slate, plaster and poured concrete from century-old rowhomes are dense enough to use up a weight allowance while the container still looks half full. Tell us what you are pulling out and we will size it to the material, not just the volume.
Where the load goes is the third. Nearby landfill capacity is held by a public authority that bills by the ton, and sorting clean concrete or clean lumber into its own load is usually the cheapest way to move heavy material.
Pottstown adds a fourth, and it is unusual. If the container takes up an on-street parking space, the Borough charges by the day and the rate climbs with container size: $4.00 a day for a container up to 10 yards, rising to $20.00 a day for anything over 30 yards, with temporary no-parking signs at $2.00 each. Those fees are not refundable, so it pays to know your real finish date before you apply.

Work from two numbers: how much volume the job will make, and how heavy that volume is. We run five sizes.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right pick for dense material. Brick, block, concrete, dirt, tile and plaster go here, and so does a single bathroom gut or a small shed teardown.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage or attic cleanout, a kitchen remodel, or a small roof job. It is also the largest size that still falls in the Borough's middle per-day fee tier.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for a whole-house cleanout or a renovation spanning several rooms. It swallows carpet, cabinets and drywall from a full rowhome without much trouble.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits a gut renovation, an addition or a new build, where framing lumber, drywall, roofing and old fixtures all come out together.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. Commercial demolition, apartment turnovers and industrial cleanouts are its job, as long as the debris is bulky rather than dense.
Not sure which tier your job lands in? Walk your account manager through it and they will tell you.
On private property you are clear. A container in your own driveway, side yard or fenced job site needs no Borough permit, as long as the truck has room to set it and pick it up.
Parking is where Pottstown is strict. Putting a container in an on-street parking space requires the Borough's Dumpster and POD Permit, handled by the Licensing and Inspections Department. The application asks for the project address, the container size, the placement date and the removal date, and you have to attach a plot plan or an aerial printout marked with the exact spot and its distance from the nearest alleys and intersections. A property owner, a contractor or an authorized agent can all file it.
Two hard limits sit in that form. Containers are not permitted within 75 feet of any intersection or alley, and they may not be placed in an alleyway at all. On a narrow Pottstown block, that can rule out the obvious spot, so check the measurement before you commit to a delivery date.
There is also a clock. Unless the Borough grants prior approval, a container in the Downtown District is limited to five days, and in any other district to fourteen days. A longer remodel needs either private-property placement or an extension agreed in advance.
Call Licensing and Inspections at 610-970-6520 to confirm what applies at a specific address. Your account manager can also help you work out whether your drop spot counts as an on-street space before you file anything.
Ordinary construction and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from Pennsylvania's disposal rules and from what the receiving landfill will take.
Pennsylvania bans covered electronic devices from disposal outright. Desktop and laptop computers, computer monitors, computer peripherals and televisions may not go in municipal waste, and a landfill is not allowed to accept them. Haulers and transfer stations may not mix them into a load bound for disposal either, and the penalties fall on whoever does it. A single television can get an entire container turned away at the gate.
Appliances with refrigerant in them are their own problem. Pottstown's own crews will not take a refrigerator, freezer, dehumidifier or window air conditioner without a sticker certifying that the refrigerant has been removed and recovered, and the landfill applies the same thinking. Have those evacuated first.
The standard container exclusions apply as well: hazardous waste, liquids, wet paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, asbestos, infectious or medical waste and incinerator ash. Tires in quantity and whole appliances in quantity are also kept out of the county disposal system by the Borough's own code.
Businesses in Pottstown with 50 or more employees sit outside the state's manufacturer-funded electronics collection programs and have to arrange their own recycling. If that is you, raise it with your account manager when you book, so the electronics never reach the container.
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.
Montgomery County does not run a landfill of its own. Instead it keeps an Act 101 plan naming the licensed disposal facilities that hold capacity for the county, and loads from Pottstown go to whichever of those sits closest for the material.
For most Pottstown jobs that is Rolling Hills Landfill, 583 Longview Road, Boyertown, PA 19512, about ten minutes west of the Borough in Earl Township. It is owned and operated by the Delaware County Solid Waste Authority, a public authority rather than a hauling company, and it is one of the larger permitted landfills in the region. Its posted hours are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Saturday and Sunday and on holidays.
One detail affects scheduling more than price. The Authority accepts waste only from haulers it has registered in advance, so the account that gets a truck through the gate has to be in place before your container is full. That is our side of the job, not yours.
Your account manager will confirm which facility your load is going to and what the current weight charge is before delivery, so there is no surprise on the invoice.
583 Longview Road, Boyertown, PA 19512
Run by the Delaware County Solid Waste Authority; open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed weekends and holidays.
Most Pottstown rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Give yourself a few extra days if the container is going in a parking space, since the Borough permit and the plot plan take time to put together.
A few habits make delivery day easy:
Remember the landfill end too. It takes loads on weekdays only and closes at 4 p.m., so a container filled late on a Friday will usually move on Monday.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will match the container to your material, flag whether the Borough's parking-space permit applies, and give you a firm number 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.
A 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. Debris weight moves the final number, since the landfill bills by the ton, and an on-street space adds the Borough's daily fee. Your account manager will confirm tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For most projects, renting wins. Doing it yourself means a per-ton charge on every trip, plus fuel, a truck and several weekends of loading and unloading. Once a job passes two or three pickup loads, one container usually costs less and finishes in a fraction of the time.
Yes, comfortably. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a bed frame, a dresser and a stack of boxes. With furniture you will run out of space long before you reach the weight allowance.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, wet paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks and asbestos. Pennsylvania also bans televisions, computers, monitors and computer peripherals from disposal, so those cannot ride along. Refrigerant appliances need certified evacuation first, and tires should be kept separate and mentioned at booking.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499, and it also sits in the Borough's cheapest daily fee tier for on-street placement. It is only the best value if your material suits it, though. Load it with brick or concrete and the weight allowance runs out early.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as five, because we price the project rather than the calendar. Weight affects your bill far more than days do. The exception is an on-street space, where the Borough charges per day, so a shorter window there genuinely costs less.
Wood, drywall, plaster, brick, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout debris are all allowed. Clean concrete, brick and asphalt are accepted too, and keeping them in a dedicated load usually lowers the per-ton cost. Ask your account manager about anything unusual before it goes in.
