At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Ridgewood, New Jersey, and the surrounding Bergen County boroughs in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Ridgewood is a village of century-old colonials and Tudors on tight lots, so kitchen gut jobs, attic and basement cleanouts, slate and asphalt roof work, and the steady run of teardown and rebuild construction all call for a container.
What you pay turns on the size you pick, the material you load, how long the container stays, and the cost of getting the load into an approved disposal site. Ridgewood also has stricter container rules than most towns, and those are covered below along with our price ranges.

Four things shape a Ridgewood quote, and one of them is local paperwork.
Size comes first, with a local twist. The Village does not allow any container over 30 cubic yards inside its limits, so the top of our range is off the table here and the 30-yard is the biggest container that fits the rule.
Material is next. Slate, plaster, tile and old chimney brick are heavy enough to use up the weight allowance well before the container looks full, while furniture and drywall fill the space first.
Disposal is third. Bergen County runs a flow control system, which means every load generated in the county has to go to a facility the county has approved. That limits where a load can be taken and feeds into the price.
Paperwork is the fourth piece, and Ridgewood is stricter than its neighbors. Every container needs a permit, even one sitting on your own driveway. Your account manager can walk you through all four before you commit.

Choose by volume, then check the weight, then check it against the Village's 30 cubic yard cap.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right pick for dense loads and tight driveways: a bathroom tear-out, a chimney, a flagstone patio, or soil and brick.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a packed garage, carpet and padding from a few rooms, or a modest roof tear-off on a cape.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for Ridgewood homes. One handles a full attic and basement cleanout or a kitchen remodel without swallowing the whole driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is the largest container the Village permits. It fits a whole-house renovation or a major addition where the debris is bulky rather than dense.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest size nationally, used for commercial construction and large demolition, but Ridgewood's own cap rules it out inside the Village. Your account manager will confirm what applies at your address and help you pick the right size.
Here Ridgewood differs from almost every town around it. A container on private property still needs a permit, issued by the Department of Buildings and Inspections, and that holds even when it sits entirely on your own driveway. If the period is under one calendar week there is no fee, but the permit is still required.
A container that goes in a public area, which covers any street, sidewalk, alley or Village parking lot, is permitted by the Department of Police instead. The Village only allows that when the Police Department agrees there is no safe or practical spot on the property itself.
The terms are tight. A private property permit runs up to 30 calendar days, a public area permit up to 15, and each can be renewed once. A container in the street needs planking under the wheels, chocked wheels, and working amber flashing lights, and it cannot arrive more than 24 hours before work starts or stay more than 24 hours after it ends. Public area applicants also file a certificate of insurance naming the Village and post surety against damage to the street, curb and sidewalk.
On private property, only one container at a time, kept at least 10 feet from a property line unless it is on the driveway and 10 feet from the house. Every container carries a Village decal visible from the street. You can pick up the Dumpster and POD Permit from the Village building forms page, and Village Hall at 131 North Maple Avenue answers on 201-670-5500. Your account manager can confirm which office you need and what the Village is charging right now.
Standard household and renovation debris is fine. The restrictions come from New Jersey's waste rules, from Bergen County's approved disposal sites, and from the Village's own container rules.
Ridgewood keeps several things out of the trash stream and takes them at its own recycling center instead. Appliances and scrap metal, tires, automobile batteries, electronics including televisions and monitors, mattresses and box springs, rechargeable and button batteries, and cooking oil all go there rather than into a container.
Hazardous material is out everywhere. Paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, pesticides, pool chemicals and asbestos cannot ride in a roll-off and need separate handling.
The Village also regulates the container itself. It has to stay covered at all times, cannot spill or overflow, and cannot leak liquids or solids, which rules out wet or loose material riding uncovered. If an item has you unsure, 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.
Two rules decide where a Ridgewood load ends up. The first is county wide. Since the start of 2024, every load of solid waste generated in Bergen County has to be taken to a disposal facility named in the county's solid waste plan. Those facilities are permitted landfills, resource recovery plants, material recovery facilities and transfer stations that have signed an agreement with the Bergen County Utilities Authority, and a hauler who takes county waste anywhere else faces enforcement. The Authority keeps the list and can be reached on 201-641-2552.
The second is local. The Ridgewood Recycling Center at 203 East Glen Avenue, behind Fire Headquarters, is where the items that cannot ride in a container go. It is open 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, closed Wednesdays and Sundays, and the number is 201-670-3373. It takes appliances, scrap metal, tires, car batteries, electronics and mattresses, though household and bulky trash are not accepted there.
Because the county controls the destination, there is no guessing involved. Your account manager can tell you which approved facility will receive your load and what that facility charges before your container is delivered.
203 E. Glen Avenue, Ridgewood, NJ 07450
Village run and open 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Most Ridgewood orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Build in extra time here, though, because the permit has to be in hand before the container lands, even for a driveway.
Five things that keep delivery day simple:
One more timing note. A Ridgewood permit lapses if work stops for more than 15 days, so a container sitting idle during a pause has to come out and go back later.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery across the Village of Ridgewood, from the central business district and the streets around Graydon Pool to the west side near Ho-Ho-Kus Brook and the neighborhoods along Godwin, Linwood and East Ridgewood Avenues. We also serve the surrounding Bergen County boroughs, and we schedule delivery and pickup around your permit window and your work.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container to the Village rules, flag what has to stay out, 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.
A 10-yard container here runs $399 to $499, and the 30-yard, the largest the Village permits, runs $599 to $799, both on a five-day rental. What you load and what the approved county facility charges move the final figure. Your account manager confirms your tonnage and overage rate when you book.
In Bergen County, renting almost always wins. County rules send waste to approved facilities only, those sites charge commercial rates by the ton, and a car or small truck cannot carry much. One container handles a whole project in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves room for a dresser, a bed frame and a stack of cartons. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so you run out of space before you run out of weight allowance.
Keep out paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, pesticides, pool chemicals and asbestos. Tires, car batteries, appliances, electronics and mattresses also stay out, since Ridgewood takes those at its own recycling center. The container must also stay covered and must not leak.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. Weight is the catch. A load of plaster, tile or slate can clear the included tonnage with the container half empty, so dense material is usually cheaper in a load of its own.
Three days typically costs the same as five, because containers are priced by the job rather than by the day. What you load matters far more than how long you keep it. Ask your account manager what tonnage comes with your size and what each ton over that costs.
Nearly all renovation and cleanout debris: lumber, drywall, plaster, lath, shingles, siding, flooring, cabinets, furniture, carpet and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick and soil are fine too and cost less in their own load. Your account manager will confirm any item you are unsure about.
