At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Sarasota, Florida, and the surrounding Sarasota County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older bungalows near Payne Park and Gillespie Park, condo and hotel renovations along the bayfront, and a long run of new construction east of town all keep roll-off containers busy, and storm season adds its own share of tear-out work.
Four things decide what you pay: the size you choose, what goes in it, how long it stays, and the per ton charge at the county landfill. Below you will find the local ranges, the city's right-of-way rules, and the sorting rule that can double a disposal bill here.

Here is what actually moves a Sarasota quote.
Size is the first lever. A container that fills early means a second haul, and a second haul means paying the gate twice.
Weight is the second. Barrel tile, stucco, terrazzo and old concrete block are heavy, and a small container loaded with them can reach its weight allowance long before it looks full.
Disposal is the third. The county charges $61.55 per ton for construction and demolition debris with a $19.75 minimum, which is a little less than the rate for household garbage. Sorting is where the real money sits, though, and that is covered below.
Placement is the fourth. A container on your own lot is simple. One that reaches the street or sidewalk brings the City in, and your account manager can tell you which side of that line your job falls on.

Pick by volume first, then check the weight of your material against it. We run five sizes here.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a short driveway and suits dense loads: a torn-out patio, concrete block, tile, or a single bathroom gut.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a packed garage, flooring pulled from a few rooms, or a modest roof tear-off on a single story house.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common pick for Sarasota homes and small contractors. One handles a whole-house cleanout or a kitchen and bath remodel.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a gut renovation, a condo turnover, or new construction where the debris is bulky rather than dense.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, used for commercial construction, hotel and restaurant build-outs, and large demolition.
If two sizes look close, tell your account manager what the job involves and they will recommend one.
Keep the container entirely on private property, such as a driveway, a parking lot or a fenced site, and no City permit applies.
Once any part of it sits in the public right-of-way, the rules change. The City of Sarasota treats the right-of-way as the land between privately owned parcels, which takes in streets, alleys, parkways, sidewalks and drainage areas. A right-of-way permit or an encroachment agreement is required before you place any structure or object there, or block access to it.
The Engineering Division handles those permits from the third floor of the One Stop Shop at 1575 2nd Street. The permit counter is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and the division answers on 941-263-6793 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Downtown blocks and the barrier island streets are tight, so plan this early if the driveway will not take a container.
One local wrinkle is worth flagging. City rules make its own solid waste division the default collector and require a special City permit for private collection, but the code's definition of solid waste leaves out construction and demolition debris. Your account manager will confirm how that reads for your project before anything is booked.
Most construction and cleanout debris loads without a problem. The limits come from Florida rules and from what the county landfill will take at the scale.
Florida lets you dispose of up to 25 waste tires a month without a permit, and anyone with more than that has to register with the state environmental agency, so tires are worth keeping separate and declaring.
Asbestos has a strict route here. The county only accepts it Monday through Friday until 3 p.m., with a waste shipment record completed and the drop-off booked at least 24 hours ahead, so it never rides loose in a container. Drilling and boring mud, slurry and bentonite are refused outright. Soils, fill dirt, dredge material, street sweeping grit and sludge all need approval before they arrive.
Hazardous material stays out everywhere: paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, pesticides, pool chemicals and car batteries. The county runs chemical collection centers on Bee Ridge Road in Sarasota and South Jackson Road in Venice for those. Ask your account manager about anything you are unsure of.
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.
Loads from the City of Sarasota go to the Central County Solid Waste Disposal Complex at 4000 Knights Trail Road in Nokomis. Sarasota County owns and runs it, and the county states that it takes residential, municipal and commercial garbage from the unincorporated county and from three cities, Sarasota among them.
Disposal is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., with the administration office open until 5 p.m. on weekdays. It closes on New Year's Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Everyone entering has to show government issued photo identification, and the county is rebuilding its scale lanes through summer 2027, so allow for delays. The number is 941-861-5000.
The sorting rule is the one that costs money. The county charges an unseparated waste fee that doubles the garbage rate on any load that mixes categories, such as construction debris thrown in with household junk or yard trash. Keeping a clean debris load clean is worth real money here. Your account manager can confirm where your container is going and what rate applies before it is delivered.
4000 Knights Trail Road, Nokomis, FL
Sarasota County's landfill, open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Most Sarasota orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking ahead matters more during season and after a storm, when the whole county is chasing the same trucks.
Five things that make delivery day go smoothly:
Watch the weekend, too. The landfill closes at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday and does not open Sunday, so a container filled late on a Saturday usually moves Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery across the City of Sarasota, from downtown and the Rosemary District to Gillespie Park, Arlington Park, Southside Village and the neighborhoods along Fruitville Road and Bee Ridge Road. We also serve the surrounding Sarasota County and Manatee County communities, and we set delivery and pickup around how your job actually runs.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, explain how to keep the load out of the mixed waste rate, and quote you 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 in Sarasota runs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard container runs $699 to $899, both on a five-day rental. Your material and the per ton rate at the Sarasota County landfill move the final figure. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate before delivery.
For most jobs, renting wins. The county applies a minimum charge on every visit, the landfill is a long drive from the city, and a pickup truck holds very little. One container clears the project in a single haul and saves you repeated trips down Knights Trail Road.
Yes, easily. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser and a stack of cartons. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so you run out of space before you reach the weight limit.
Keep out paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, pesticides, pool chemicals and car batteries. Asbestos cannot ride in a container at all, since the county only takes it by appointment with paperwork. Drilling and boring mud is refused, and large quantities of tires need state registration first.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. What you load changes the math. Concrete block, tile and stucco reach the included tonnage fast, so dense material is usually cheaper in a load of its own, and that also keeps it out of the mixed load penalty.
Three days normally costs what five days costs, because containers are priced by the job rather than by the day. Weight is what drives the bill. Ask your account manager how much tonnage your size includes and what each ton over that costs.
Nearly all construction and cleanout debris: lumber, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, windows, furniture, carpet and cardboard. Clean concrete, block and soil are fine too and are cheaper when kept separate. Your account manager will confirm any item you are not sure about.
