At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Rocky Mount, North Carolina, and the surrounding Nash and Edgecombe County communities, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older housing around Falls Road and Villa Place coming up for renovation, warehouse and industrial reuse near the rail corridor, and ongoing construction out toward Winstead Avenue keep containers busy for owners and builders.
Your price depends on the container size, how heavy the debris is, how long the container stays, and the per ton charge at the landfill that receives it. Below are the price ranges, how the city handles a construction load differently from household trash, which side of the county line your job sits on, and how fast delivery can be arranged.

Rocky Mount has one genuinely local feature that shapes a quote, and it is geographic.
Container size is the first lever as usual. Going one size up normally costs less than overage on a container that filled early, and always less than a second haul.
Weight is the second. Rocky Mount's older stock means plaster, brick and the occasional block foundation, all heavy enough to use a weight allowance while the container still looks part full. Dense debris belongs in a 10-yard; bulky debris belongs in a 20 or 30.
The third is the one that is specific to this city: Rocky Mount sits across the Nash and Edgecombe county line, and the nearest construction landfill accepts material generated in Nash County. That means a job on the eastern side of the city may need a different destination from an identical job a mile west, which changes the mileage and the gate charge. It is settled easily, but it has to be settled before the truck is loaded rather than at the gate, and your account manager does that at booking.
Fourth, the city's own transfer station is not available for this work at all, which is covered below. That sets the haul length from the start.

Size on volume, then check the weight. We run five sizes here.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the shortest container we carry and the right one for dense material. A patio slab broken up, a block wall coming down, or a single bathroom gut will reach its weight limit before it looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the job bigger than one room, such as a garage cleared to the slab, a kitchen taken back to the framing, or a tear-off on a small roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Rocky Mount households take. It handles a whole house cleanout, a renovation across several rooms, or flooring and carpet lifted on one level.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for additions, new construction and demolition, where framing, drywall, cabinetry and fixtures are all leaving together.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, built for commercial demolition, warehouse cleanouts and construction sites producing volume day after day.
One useful thing about Rocky Mount: the city's own commercial container standard stops at eight cubic yards, so every size we rent sits above the municipal regime entirely. That is why private service is the normal route here for anything bigger than a bin. Describe the job to your account manager and they will size it.
On private property, including your driveway or a fenced job site, nothing in the city's solid waste rules requires a container permit.
The city's streets and public places chapter was not part of this review, so instead of assuming a right-of-way route exists, treat a street placement as a question for the City of Rocky Mount before you book. Your account manager will find the contact for you.
What the city's rules do say about the street is helpful rather than restrictive. Leaving solid waste on a street or on city property is an offence, but the rule closes by excepting waste that is placed in a designated location or in a solid waste container. So the container is treated as part of the answer to the offence, not as the problem.
The city also has a spillage rule that names exactly the materials our customers load, covering dirt, rocks, sand, brick, broken concrete, lumber, tree trunks, limbs, cinders, plaster, gravel, paper and cardboard. Nothing may fall, scatter or blow from a vehicle onto a street, and anything that does has to be removed immediately. Importantly, the city sets no vehicle construction standard at all, so there is no requirement for an enclosed or compacting truck here. A properly tarped open-top container on a tilt frame satisfies Rocky Mount on the published words, which is not true in every city.
One rule does land on you rather than on us. The city requires construction, demolition, land clearing and landscaping debris to be collected, removed and disposed of by the contractor or builder, and if they fail to do it, by the occupant of the property. So arranging a container is the property owner's obligation in the city's own words, not a discretionary extra.
Anyone collecting or transporting solid waste in Rocky Mount also needs a permit from the director of public works. The city publishes the requirement but not its terms, so that side sits with us, and your account manager confirms it is in place before delivery.
Standard construction and household debris is accepted. The firm limits come from the receiving facility.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil and asbestos stay out of a standard container. The city handles hazardous and medical waste through entirely separate rules, so neither belongs in a container at any volume.
The sharpest local restriction is about where material may go rather than what it is. The city's own transfer station is barred from accepting building construction and renovation waste, land clearing and landscaping waste, tree trimming waste, roofing waste, automotive tires and industrial waste, and it cannot take anything generated outside the city limits either. So tires in particular have to be pulled out and handled separately, and a roofing load has only one destination.
Land clearing debris and tree trimmings are worth keeping in their own container. They are refused at the city facility, they are charged at a different rate at the county landfill, and mixing them into a renovation load gets the whole container priced at the higher category.
Anything you are unsure about is worth one call to your account manager before loading.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Rocky Mount is unusual in that the city runs a transfer station and your container cannot use it.
The city's rules bar its own transfer station from taking building construction and renovation waste, and separately require that waste hauled by private contractors for any nonresidential use go directly to the county landfill rather than to the city facility. Between those two provisions a construction container from Rocky Mount has a single destination.
That destination is the Nash County Construction and Demolition Landfill at 3057 Duke Road, Nashville, which Nash County runs itself. It is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and the county solid waste department at the same address can be reached on 252-459-2064. Construction and demolition material carries a slightly higher per ton rate than yard waste there, and a county resident's annual solid waste fee does not cover the tipping charge, so the gate charge applies either way. The county has adopted a new fee schedule for the current financial year, so your account manager confirms the current rate rather than quoting last year's.
The one thing to settle early is the county line. The landfill accepts construction and demolition material generated in Nash County, and Rocky Mount extends into Edgecombe County, so an eastern-side job needs its destination confirmed before the container is booked.
Nash County's nine convenience drop-off sites are not an option for this work. They run on a permit hangtag issued only to households that pay the county solid waste fee on their tax bill, and city residents are not billed that fee and do not receive one, although a municipal resident can buy a permit in person at the landfill. Nobody should plan to drive a rented container to one of those sites.
Your account manager confirms the destination and the gate charge before delivery.
3057 Duke Road, Nashville, NC
Run by Nash County. Open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and it takes construction and demolition material generated in Nash County.
Most Rocky Mount rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A day or two of lead time buys a better slot and lets us confirm the destination.
Five things that help a Rocky Mount delivery go cleanly:
The county landfill schedule is the other planning point. It closes at 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and is not open at the weekend, so a container filled on a Friday evening or a Saturday is normally hauled on Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Rocky Mount, from the downtown and Falls Road areas to Villa Place, Englewood, the Winstead Avenue corridor and the Edgecombe County neighborhoods on the eastern side of the city. We also cover the nearby Nash and Edgecombe County communities, including Nashville, Sharpsburg and Battleboro. Because the closest pages in our network sit twenty miles and more away, delivery is planned around a longer run, and we schedule it around your crew rather than a fixed route day.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the debris, confirm which county your load is generated in and where it can go, and give you one 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 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 county landfill's per ton gate charge drive the final number, and the county adopted a new fee schedule for this financial year. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates at booking.
In Rocky Mount, yes, and the reason is local. The city transfer station cannot take construction waste at all, the county drop-off sites are closed to city households without a purchased permit, and the county landfill is a drive out to Nashville. One container collects the 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 boxes. Household furniture fills the volume well before it reaches the weight allowance.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil and asbestos stay out. Automotive tires are the local one, since the city facility refuses them outright, and land clearing debris, tree trimmings and roofing waste all need their own routing rather than being mixed in.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. Whether it is cheapest for your job depends on the debris, because plaster, brick and concrete can run a small container past its weight allowance quickly. Keeping dense material in a load of its own usually produces a lower total.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the price is built around the job and the tonnage rather than the calendar. Weight moves the bill far more than the number of days. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs.
Wood, drywall, plaster, roofing, flooring, cabinetry, carpet, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout debris are all fine. Clean concrete, brick and block are accepted too and often cost less travelling on their own. Check anything unusual with your account manager before loading it.
