At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals throughout Richardson, Texas, and the surrounding Dallas and Collin County suburbs, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Mid-century homes north of Belt Line Road coming up for renovation, office and warehouse fit-outs along the Telecom Corridor, and steady construction work across the city keep containers in demand for homeowners and contractors.
Price follows four things here: the container size, how heavy the debris is, how long you hold it, and the per ton charge where the load is tipped. This guide covers those ranges, the city's construction debris rules, what the regional district will and will not take, and how fast delivery can be arranged.

Richardson has a few local features that feed straight into a quote, so it is worth knowing what they are.
Container size is the first lever. The right size avoids both overage charges and a second haul, and the fastest way to get it right is to describe the rooms or the roof area instead of estimating cubic yards.
Debris weight is the second. Shingles, mortar, tile and concrete run heavy, and a dense load reaches its weight allowance while the container still looks half empty. That is normal and it is why heavy material usually travels in a smaller container.
Where the load goes is fixed by the city, not chosen by us. Richardson directs every construction and demolition load to the regional district's facilities, and sending it anywhere else is a breach of the city permit that lets a container operate here. The district runs a transfer station inside Richardson and a landfill further north, and the landfill charges less per ton than the transfer stations do, with a one ton minimum at both.
One surcharge is worth planning around. A load that contains roofing shingles carries a flat extra charge at the district's sites, and it is large enough to outweigh the per ton difference between the two kinds of site. On a re-roof that is a strong argument for keeping shingles in their own container. Your account manager will price both options.

Match the size to the volume first, then check the weight. We run five sizes across Richardson.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest and the right one for concrete, brick, mortar and tile. A driveway break-up or a single bathroom gut will reach its weight limit before the container fills, which is precisely the point of it.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the middle ground. A garage emptied to the walls, a kitchen taken back to the studs, or the shingles off a single-story house all fit without paying for space you will not use.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most often delivered at Richardson addresses. It handles a full house cleanout, a renovation that touches several rooms, or carpet and tile lifted across a whole floor.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is sized for additions, new homes and office fit-outs where framing, drywall, ceiling tile and old fixtures are all going out at once.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It is built for commercial demolition, industrial clearing and construction sites generating serious volume day after day.
Not certain which one matches your job? Describe it to your account manager and they will size it for you.
A container on private property, including your driveway or a fenced job site, needs no permit from you. What Richardson regulates on the private side is where a permanent receptacle location may sit.
The city's standard for a standing roll-off position is specific. It wants a reinforced concrete pad sized to the container, six inches thick, with screening by an enclosure at least six feet high that matches the main building. Those rules are written for a commercial or industrial property with an ongoing service rather than for a container dropped for a few days on a construction site, so the City is the right place to confirm how they apply to your address. A building permit for a remodel, enlargement or demolition can also trigger the pad and screening work on a location that was previously allowed to stay as it was.
Dumping on a public street, alley or other public property is barred outright in Richardson, and that prohibition reaches rock, waste matter and recyclable materials of every kind. The city's separate street and right-of-way chapters were not part of this review, so if your only workable spot is in the street, treat that as a question for the City's public services department before you book.
The bigger Richardson point is about who may bring the container at all, and it is covered in the next section. Your account manager handles both the permit question and that one before a delivery date is confirmed.
Ordinary construction and household debris is accepted. The limits come from Texas rules, from the district's own acceptance policy, and from one Richardson definition worth knowing.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil and asbestos are out of a standard container everywhere, and Richardson's code adds a general prohibited category for anything a state or federal agency has named as unacceptable at a sanitary landfill.
Tires are the clearest line locally. At the district's transfer stations they are taken only through the resident drop-off program, not in a commercial load, and at the landfill they carry a separate per tire charge with large equipment tires refused outright. Keep tires out of the container and tell your account manager about them when you book.
Richardson also defines a category of debris its own crews will not collect, covering brick, lumber, plaster, concrete, large tree trunks, stumps, metal scrap, construction and remodeling materials and demolition or fire debris. That material is exactly what a roll-off container is for, and it is the reason a container rather than a city bin is the right tool for a remodel here.
Anything unusual is worth a quick call to your account manager before you load it.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Richardson is one of five member cities of the North Texas Municipal Water District, and the district runs every site a Richardson load can legally use. The city's code directs construction and demolition material to the district's facilities and makes delivery to any other facility unlawful, so the destination is settled before the container leaves the hauler's yard.
The nearest site is the Lookout Drive Transfer Station at 1601 East Lookout Drive, Richardson, TX 75082, reachable on 972-234-3247. It is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and closed Sunday.
Larger construction loads run to the 121 Regional Disposal Facility at 3820 Sam Rayburn Highway, Melissa, TX 75454, on 469-626-4452. The landfill is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and is also closed Sunday.
One timing note for autumn 2026. The district's Parkway Transfer Station in Plano is closed from 12 October to 1 November for construction and paving, reopens on 2 November for member city residents only, and is expected to reopen fully on 16 November. During that stretch the district points traffic to the Custer Road, Lookout Drive and Melissa sites instead.
The district's sites take cards or a commercial account, and we hold the account, so none of that falls on you. Your account manager confirms which site your load is going to and what the disposal charge will be before delivery.
1601 East Lookout Drive, Richardson, TX 75082
Run by the North Texas Municipal Water District. Open Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed Sunday.
3820 Sam Rayburn Highway, Melissa, TX 75454
The district's landfill. Open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Most Richardson rentals can be booked within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A little lead time buys a better slot and lets us sort the paperwork side first.
Five things that help a delivery land cleanly:
Keep the Sunday closures in mind too. Every district site is shut on Sunday and the transfer stations stop taking loads at 4:30 p.m., so a container filled on a Saturday evening will usually be hauled on Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster covers all of Richardson, from the Telecom Corridor and the Galatyn Park area to the older neighborhoods around Arapaho and Floyd Road and the Collin County side of the city north of Renner. We also serve the adjoining Dallas communities, where the run to the regional district's transfer station on Lookout Drive is usually the shortest leg available. Deliveries, swaps and pickups are scheduled around your crew's hours rather than ours.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the debris, confirm the district site your load is headed for, and give you one clear 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.
Expect $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, both on a five-day rental. Your final figure depends on the weight of the material and the per ton disposal charge at the district site that takes it. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate at booking.
Once a job runs past a couple of pickup loads, a container is cheaper. Self-hauling means a one ton minimum charge at the district site on every visit, plus fuel and a lot of your own time. A single container covers the whole job in one haul and one disposal charge.
It will. A standard three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, shelving and several boxes. With bulky household furniture you run out of room long before the weight allowance becomes the limit.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil and asbestos all stay out. Tires are the local one to watch: the district takes them only through its resident drop-off program at transfer stations and refuses large equipment tires at the landfill, so tires travel separately.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. Whether it is cheapest for your job depends on the material, because dense debris like concrete or tile can run a small container past its weight allowance quickly. Splitting heavy material into its own load often lands a lower total.
A three-day hold usually costs the same as five days, because containers here are priced around the job and the tonnage rather than by the day. The weight of what you load matters far more. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each additional ton costs.
Wood, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinetry, carpet, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout debris are all allowed. Clean concrete, brick and block are fine as well, and keeping them in a separate load often reduces the disposal cost. Run anything unusual past your account manager first.
