Triple-deckers in Wollaston and Quincy Point, steady roof and kitchen work in Houghs Neck and Squantum, and residential construction around Quincy Center keep containers in demand for homeowners and builders alike.
What you pay depends on the container size, how heavy the load is, how long you keep it, and what the receiving facility charges. Below you will find our price ranges, how placement works in Quincy, the rules the City sets for containers, and where your debris ends up.

| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |

Size is the first and biggest choice. Quincy driveways vary a lot between the older streets and the newer subdivisions, so the right size is the largest one your spot will actually hold.
Weight is the second. Quincy's granite history shows up in the debris stream: stone, concrete, and tile are dense enough that a 10-yard container will reach its weight limit while it still looks half empty. Tell your account manager the material first and the tonnage second.
Where the load goes shapes the rest. There is no landfill or transfer station inside Quincy, so a roll-off travels to a processing facility in Brockton, Stoughton, or Boston. Massachusetts bans asphalt, brick, concrete, clean gypsum wallboard, metals, and wood from landfill disposal, so the material gets sorted rather than buried, and that handling is part of local disposal costs.
City rules add detail rather than cost. Quincy sets conditions on where a container sits and when it can be emptied, and it treats a construction roll-off differently from a standing commercial dumpster, which works in your favor. Your account manager will go through the specifics for your address.

Start with how much debris the job will make, then check what the drop spot can take. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards for Quincy work.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest and it is the one that fits a narrow driveway or a single parking space. It is also the right pick for granite, concrete, brick, and soil, which hit the weight limit early.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, a bathroom gut, or a small roof tear-off. It is the usual step up when a 10-yard looks tight on volume.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for a whole-home cleanout, a triple-decker unit turnover, or a remodel across several rooms. It holds a lot without needing commercial-sized access.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits additions, gut renovations, and new builds. Framing, cabinets, siding, and drywall fill volume rather than weight, so this size keeps the job to one container.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and it is built for demolition and commercial projects. It needs a long, level spot with room for the truck to tip, which usually means a lot rather than a residential driveway.
Describe the job and the drop spot to your account manager, and they will tell you which size will work.
A container sitting entirely on private property, such as your driveway or a job site you control, does not need a City permit in Quincy. That covers most residential deliveries here.
Placement is still regulated, though, which catches people out. The City code requires every container to sit far enough back from the lot line that it does not obstruct the curb or sidewalk, block a driver's view of traffic, or inconvenience abutters, and it makes the location subject to approval by the Health Commissioner and the Department of Inspectional Services. Containers also may not be emptied before 7:00 a.m., except in the downtown Quincy Center business area.
Street placement is the gap. Quincy publishes five Engineering permits online, covering curb removal and driveways, drains, stormwater, street and sidewalk openings, and trenches, and none of them is a container or street-occupancy permit. The code's street chapter covers excavation and construction obstructions rather than containers. So the honest answer is that Quincy publishes no container-specific street permit, and the only way to settle a street drop is to ask.
Call the Quincy Engineering Department at 617-376-1950, or the Department of Public Works at 617-376-1959, both at 55 Sea Street. The Health Department, which signs off on container locations, is at 440 East Squantum Street on 617-376-1275. Your account manager can make those calls for you and confirm what your spot needs before the truck is booked.
Most construction and household debris is fine to load. The limits come from the state disposal bans and from what the receiving facility accepts.
Massachusetts bars a long list of materials from being thrown away or sent for disposal, and the duty binds the hauler as well as the generator. MassDEP's list covers asphalt pavement, brick and concrete, clean gypsum wallboard, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, glass, metal and plastic containers, lead acid batteries, leaves and yard waste, mattresses, recyclable paper and cardboard, textiles, white goods, and tube televisions and monitors. Wood and whole tires are barred from landfills.
Those materials can still leave in a container, because the load is sorted at a processing facility. It is why keeping concrete, brick, or clean wood in a single-material load often costs less than mixing everything together.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos never go in a standard container. Quincy runs its own household hazardous waste drop-off days at the Public Works yard on Sea Street for residents only, and the City states plainly that the event is not for commercial disposal and takes no asbestos, tires, or latex paint.
One more local rule is worth knowing: the City code bars bringing waste into Quincy from outside the city for disposal here. If you have an item you are unsure about, ask your account manager before it goes in.
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.
Quincy has no landfill, no transfer station, and no construction and demolition processing facility inside the city. MassDEP's own list of active handling facilities shows none in Quincy, Weymouth, Milton, Randolph, Holbrook, or Avon.
The nearest transfer station is on Ivory Street in Braintree, and the nearest large construction and demolition processing facilities are on Forest Street and Wilder Street in Brockton, Page Street in Stoughton, and Gerard Street in Boston. Every one of those is privately operated, so we name them by street and city rather than card them.
What that means for your load is that it leaves Quincy, gets tipped at a sorting facility, and is separated into recovered streams. Massachusetts has no construction landfill at all and only five waste-to-energy plants statewide, so the remainder travels further out. Nothing from a Quincy job is buried locally.
For small quantities of household hazardous material, the City's own drop-off day at the Public Works yard at 55 Sea Street is the right route, but it is for residents only, runs on dates the City announces, and is not for commercial waste.
Your account manager confirms which facility is receiving your load and what it charges before the delivery is scheduled.
Most Quincy rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days ahead widens your choice of slots and gives you time to settle the drop spot.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
Facility hours matter at the other end. The processing sites that take Quincy loads run weekday schedules with limited weekend access, so a container filled late on a Friday is normally hauled the following week.

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.
Quincy rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, on a five-day rental. The material you load and the charges at the receiving facility move the final number most. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
In Quincy there is no dump to drive to. The city has no landfill or transfer station, and its own hazardous waste day is for residents and not for commercial waste. Self-hauling means repeat trips out of the city paying by weight, so one container is almost always cheaper.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves space for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture fills volume rather than weight, so a 10-yard often covers a whole apartment cleanout on its own.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos are all out. Massachusetts also bans mattresses, textiles, metals, clean gypsum wallboard, and tube televisions and monitors from disposal, so those need separating. Flag anything unusual to your account manager before loading.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499, and it is often the only size that fits an older Quincy driveway. Watch the weight though. Granite, concrete, and tile can push a small container past its limit fast, so keep dense material in a load of its own.
A three-day rental normally costs the same as a five-day one, because the price is set by the job rather than the day. Weight drives the bill far more than the calendar. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before delivery.
Most home and construction debris is allowed, including drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, framing, cabinets, carpet, furniture, and general cleanout junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted too, and single-material loads often cost less to handle. Check anything doubtful with your account manager first.
