At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Rockville, Maryland, and the surrounding Montgomery County communities, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Mid-century houses in West End and Twinbrook reaching the age for full renovation, continuous office-to-residential conversion along the Pike, and construction work around the Shady Grove and King Farm corridors keep containers in demand.
Your cost moves with the container size, the weight and type of debris, how long you hold the container, and the disposal charge wherever the load ends up. Below are the price ranges, Rockville's own collector rules, a dated county change that takes effect in early November 2026, and how soon delivery can be arranged.

Rockville has more local structure around containers than most cities its size, and some of it is about to change.
Size is the first factor. One step up beats paying overage on a container that filled sooner than expected, and it always beats a second haul.
Weight is the second, and in Rockville that often means plaster, tile, brick and the concrete from a patio or a basement slab. Dense material reaches a weight allowance while the container still looks part full, which is why heavy debris travels in a smaller container.
The third factor is a dated county change and it is the one to plan around. From 2 November 2026 the Montgomery County transfer station will no longer accept construction debris loads brought in open-top containers, roll-offs, box trucks or trailers with two or more axles. That means a renovation or demolition load from a Rockville address goes to a private facility from that date, and the disposal charge comes from that facility rather than from the county. Your account manager confirms the destination and the charge at booking.
The fourth factor is the city's own collector rules, covered below. They land on us rather than on you, but one of them affects which container sizes can be licensed here, so it is worth a mention before sizing.

Pick on volume, then check the weight, and then check the placement. We carry five sizes.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our shortest container. It suits a bathroom gut, a small cleanout or yard work, and it is the right answer for concrete, brick and plaster, which reach a weight limit long before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the job bigger than one room: a garage cleared out, a kitchen taken back to the studs, or a tear-off on a small roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Rockville households take. It handles a whole house cleanout, a multi-room renovation, or flooring and carpet lifted across a level.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is sized for additions, new construction and basement conversions, where framing, drywall, cabinetry and old fixtures are all going out together.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, built for commercial demolition, office strip-outs and construction sites producing heavy volume.
One Rockville quirk is worth raising with your account manager if you are considering the largest size: the city's collector rules set a maximum body height on licensed vehicles that sits below the height of a 40-yard container, so the sizes available at a given address are worth confirming before you commit.
On private property, including your driveway or a fenced job site, Rockville's solid waste rules impose no container permit, and the word dumpster does not appear in that chapter at all.
The city's streets and rights-of-way chapter was not part of this review, so instead of assuming an encroachment route exists, treat a street placement as a question for the City of Rockville at 111 Maryland Avenue before you book. Your account manager will find the right contact.
What Rockville does regulate heavily is the collector, and one of its rules reaches your schedule directly. The city bars licensees and their employees from collecting, picking up or otherwise handling refuse or refuse containers between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. Monday through Friday, and between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and federal holidays. Because the rule names containers and not just refuse, a delivery or a pickup of the container itself falls inside that window, so early morning drops before 7 a.m. are not available in Rockville and weekend drops cannot start before 9 a.m.
The rest of the city's regime is ours to satisfy rather than yours. Anyone collecting or transporting refuse in Rockville needs a license from the Superintendent of the Division of Licenses and Inspection, applied for by 1 July each year and expiring on 30 June. It requires a bona fide office in the Washington metropolitan area where bills can be paid, a bond or cash deposit held by the Director of Finance, a current list of every vehicle by description and serial number, lettering at least three inches high on both sides of each vehicle, and a filed list of employees with a contact reachable at any hour. Those licenses cannot be transferred.
One useful right sits alongside all of that: Rockville expressly allows the producer of the refuse, or the owner of the premises where it accumulated, to collect it themselves. So a homeowner hauling their own debris is on solid ground, and a container is a convenience rather than a legal necessity.
Most construction and household debris is accepted. The limits come from the receiving facility and from Montgomery County's recycling rules.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil and asbestos stay out of a standard container. So do appliances containing refrigerant and anything under pressure.
Montgomery County adds a mandate that changes how a renovation load should be packed. Several materials that come out of a building job are required to be recycled rather than landfilled, including cardboard, scrap metal, metal pipes, rebar and appliances that count as scrap metal. Where the county mandates recycling for those, putting them in a mixed container works against you, and a second container for clean metal and cardboard is usually the cheaper route as well as the compliant one.
Mattresses are the other local one, and the rule is already in force. Since 1 July 2026 the county transfer station has refused mattresses and box springs arriving in commercial loads, including open tops, unless they come with a residential manifest showing same-day collection inside Montgomery County. Anything else is turned away. If a cleanout includes mattresses, tell your account manager at booking.
Anything you are unsure about is worth one call before it goes in the container.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
This is the section to read twice if your job runs into November 2026, because the county's rules change on 2 November.
Until then, household and general loads from Rockville can go to the Montgomery County Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station, which the county runs itself. Its commercial and truck entrance is at 16055 Shady Grove Road, Gaithersburg, MD 20877, and its residential entrance is at 16101 Frederick Road, Derwood, MD 20855. Both entrances are open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and on Sunday the site is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through the commercial and truck entrance only. The contact number is 240-777-0311.
From 2 November 2026 the county's position changes for exactly this kind of container. The transfer station will no longer accept construction debris loads transported in open-top containers, roll-offs, box trucks or trailers with two or more axles. From that date a construction or demolition container from Rockville goes to a private disposal facility instead, and the per ton charge comes from there.
One site rule applies to anyone stepping onto the tipping floor at the county facility: a high-visibility vest, a hard hat and closed-toe shoes are all required, and without them you are sent away to get them. That matters if you plan to meet the truck at the site rather than at your address.
Because the destination depends on the date and on the material, your account manager confirms both the facility and the disposal charge before the container is delivered.
16055 Shady Grove Road, Gaithersburg, MD 20877
Run by Montgomery County. Commercial and truck entrance, open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday. From 2 November 2026 it will not accept construction debris in roll-off containers.
Most Rockville rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking ahead gets a better slot and lets us work inside the city's collection hours.
Five things that make a Rockville delivery go smoothly:
The county facility's Sunday hours are restricted to the commercial entrance, and the whole site closes at 5 p.m., so a container filled late on a Saturday is typically hauled on the following working day.

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, both on a five-day rental. The weight of the debris and the disposal charge drive the final number, and after 2 November 2026 a construction load goes to a private facility rather than the county site. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates at booking.
For most Rockville jobs, yes. Self-hauling means a disposal charge on every visit, the required safety gear to step onto the tipping floor, and your own hours driving up to Shady Grove and back. One container collects the whole job and travels once.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a bed frame, a dresser and a stack of boxes. Household furniture fills the space long before it reaches the weight allowance.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil and asbestos stay out. Mattresses are the local one to watch, since the county transfer station refuses them in commercial loads without a residential manifest, and county-mandated recyclables like scrap metal and cardboard belong in their own load.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. Whether it is cheapest for your job depends on the debris, because plaster, tile and concrete can run a small container past its weight allowance quickly. Keeping dense material in its own load usually lowers the total.
A three-day hold normally costs the same as five days, because containers are priced around the job and the tonnage rather than by the day. Weight is the variable that moves the bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs.
Wood, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinetry, carpet, furniture and general cleanout debris are all fine. Clean concrete, brick and block are accepted too and often cost less travelling on their own, while cardboard and clean scrap metal are better off in a separate container. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
