At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Racine, Wisconsin, and the surrounding Racine County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. A housing stock full of early twentieth century homes keeps gut remodels and roof work steady, and construction along the lakefront and the Highway 20 corridor keeps contractors ordering containers week after week.
Four things decide what you pay: the size you take, how heavy the load is, how long you keep the container, and what the receiving site charges. Below you will find sizing help, the city rules on where a container may sit, the long Wisconsin list of materials that cannot be landfilled, and what happens to your debris.

| Size | Average Price Range | Approximate Dimensions | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Yard Dumpster | $399–$499 | 12' L × 8' W × 3.5' H | Concrete, brick, and heavy debris; small cleanouts; single-room remodels |
| 15-Yard Dumpster | $449–$569 | 16' L × 7.5' W × 4–5' H | Garage cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, small roof tear-offs |
| 20-Yard Dumpster | $499–$649 | 22' L × 7.5' W × 4.5' H | Whole-home cleanouts, multi-room renovations, flooring removal, roofing |
| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |
| 40-Yard Dumpster | $699–$899 | 22–24' L × 8' W × 8' H | Commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts, large-scale construction |
Start with size, because that is the number you control most directly. Ordering one step up costs less than ordering a second haul.
Then look hard at weight. Shingles, plaster, tile, and old concrete are heavy enough to use a full allowance in a half-filled container, so tell us what is coming out and we will match the size to it.
Haul distance now matters more in Racine than it used to. The city landfill on Oakes Road stopped taking waste in 2022, so loads leave the county to reach a permitted site. That longer trip is part of every quote here.
Street placement can add real cost. If the container has to sit on pavement the city owns, Racine wants a permit, red and white reflective tape on the container, traffic control devices, and proof of insurance naming the city. Your account manager will tell you whether your spot triggers any of that before you commit to a date.

Match the container to the volume you expect, then check it against the weight of the material. We run five sizes.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right call for dense debris. A bathroom gut, a chimney tear-down, a small patio removal, or a load of brick will reach its weight limit with room to spare above.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles the jobs that outgrow the smallest container. Garage cleanouts, a single-floor carpet pull, and small tear-offs all fit comfortably.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Racine households end up taking. A full cleanout, a kitchen plus a bath, or a mid-size roof all work in one.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits long renovations and new construction, where mixed debris comes out daily for weeks and nobody wants to think about swaps.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest we carry. Commercial demolition, warehouse clear-downs, and high-volume but light material are what it is built for.
If two sizes look plausible, your account manager can settle it in a minute over the phone.
On private property, a driveway or a fenced job site, you do not need a city permit. Racine does set conditions even there. A container has to sit on asphalt or concrete that drains, and it has to stay at least 15 feet away from any home, apartment, hotel, or restaurant.
The street is a different matter. The city code requires a permit from the chief building inspector before any material, machinery, or equipment goes on a street, sidewalk, or parkway, and it names roll-off containers directly.
The conditions are specific. Red and white reflective tape at least two inches wide has to run the full width of whichever side faces traffic, above the midpoint of the container. Traffic control devices meeting the federal standard have to be in place the whole time. You also need lights on the obstruction from sunset to sunrise, at least two-thirds of the roadway open, a five-foot walkway for pedestrians, and clearance from fire hydrants.
Two more things catch people out. The permit runs for no more than four months, and placing anything in the right-of-way without a permit first doubles the fee. The city also wants proof of liability insurance naming the City of Racine as an additional insured before it issues anything.
For questions, call the City of Racine at 262-636-9171. Your account manager can walk you through which of these apply to your address and line up delivery around the approval.
Wisconsin bans more from its landfills than most states do, and the ban applies in homes and on job sites alike. The Department of Natural Resources keeps out electronics, major appliances, lead acid batteries, waste oil, used oil filters, waste tires, and yard waste.
The list also covers everyday recyclables: corrugated cardboard, glass containers, newspaper, magazines, office paper, aluminum and steel cans, and plastic containers marked one and two. Cardboard is the one that trips up renovation jobs, since a kitchen install can produce a mountain of it. Flatten it and set it aside for recycling instead.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of a standard container, and the city will not take medical, hazardous, or toxic waste in its own collection either.
Most of the rest is fine. Wood, drywall, plaster, lath, shingles, flooring, cabinets, and furniture all load normally. When something falls in a grey area, ask your account manager before it goes in.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Racine no longer has a working landfill. The Kestrel Hawk site on Oakes Road ended solid waste disposal in 2022 and is now moving into long-term care under a state license. Loads from the city now travel out of the county to a permitted regional landfill, and that distance shows up in disposal pricing across Racine.
For household items, the City of Racine Solid Waste Drop-Off Site sits at 6300 21st Street, and the city publishes its terms online. It opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. year round, closes on holidays, and takes cards or Apple Pay rather than cash. Published charges there include $8 per tire and set per-item prices for appliances, televisions, and bulky furniture.
Two limits at that site explain why a container is usually the answer for a project. It no longer accepts concrete, metal, toilets, sinks, vanities, or construction waste at all, and it turns away commercial vehicles, so only cars, SUVs, and standard pickups can enter.
Your account manager will confirm which site your load is routed to and what the disposal charge looks like before anything is delivered.
6300 21st Street, Racine, WI
Open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., card payment only.
Most Racine orders are scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Give us a few more days if the container needs to go on a street, since the permit and the insurance paperwork sit ahead of the drop.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
Winter is the other scheduling factor here. Snow banks and narrow plowed streets can close off a driveway approach that works fine in July, so book with a little more lead time between December and March.

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.
Dumpster rentals in Racine start at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and run to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day rental. Because the nearest permitted landfill now sits outside the county, haul distance and weight both matter. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates at quoting.
For anything bigger than a car load, the container wins. Racine's public drop-off site turns away construction waste and commercial vehicles, so a remodel cannot go there at all. That leaves long trips to an out-of-county landfill, paid by weight, plus fuel and your own time.
Yes, comfortably. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser, and several boxes. Furniture fills volume long before it reaches the weight limit, which makes the smallest container a sensible pick for a furniture cleanout.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos are out everywhere. Wisconsin adds a long landfill ban list on top: electronics, major appliances, tires, waste oil, oil filters, lead acid batteries, yard waste, cardboard, glass, and common recyclable cans and bottles all have to be kept separate.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. That price only holds if the load stays under its weight allowance, though. Plaster, tile, and masonry can push a small container past the limit fast. Splitting heavy material into its own load is usually the cheaper route overall.
Three days normally costs what five days costs. The price reflects delivery, haul, and disposal rather than how many nights the container sits in your driveway. Weight is what moves the bill. Ask your account manager for the included tonnage and the per-ton overage before you book.
Most construction and household debris is allowed: wood, drywall, plaster, lath, roofing, flooring, cabinets, doors, windows, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are fine too, and keeping them in a separate load usually costs less to dispose of. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
