At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Shakopee, Minnesota, and the surrounding Scott County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. New housing off Vierling Drive, basement and kitchen remodels in the older neighborhoods near the river, and steady construction and warehouse work along the Highway 169 corridor keep containers moving here all season.
What you pay comes down to container size, the kind of debris you load, how long you keep the container, and what the receiving site charges to take it. Below you'll find price ranges, the city rule for containers on a street, what has to stay out of the load, and where Shakopee debris actually ends up.

Four things move the number on a Shakopee quote, and the first one is simply how big a container you order.
Size leads. A larger container costs more at the start, but ordering a size that actually fits the job saves you from overage charges or a second trip.
Weight is the next lever. Shingles, plaster, tile, and broken concrete are dense, so they reach the included tonnage long before the walls are full. Appliances and tires are usually priced one by one instead of by weight, so list them when you call.
The destination matters here more than in most towns. Scott County does not run a public landfill, so Shakopee loads go to privately run sites, and each one sets its own rates and its own accepted material list. Your account manager prices the haul around the site that will take your debris.
Local rules play a small part. A container on a Shakopee street needs a written permit first, and the county wants proof that demolition waste left the property and was not burned or buried, so hang on to your disposal paperwork.

Pick your size by volume first, then sanity-check it against weight. Prime Dumpster stocks containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the short, low container. It suits a bathroom tear-out, a shed cleanout, or a deck removal, and it is the right pick for concrete, brick, and dirt, which get heavy fast.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the middle ground. Think a two-car garage cleanout, a flooring job across a couple of rooms, or a single-layer roof strip on a small house.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Shakopee homeowners end up with. It handles a full-house cleanout or a remodel that touches several rooms without crowding the driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for real volume: a gut renovation, a new build, or a mixed demolition load where bulky framing and drywall pile up quickly.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest container we carry. It is built for commercial fit-outs, warehouse cleanouts, and demolition that runs for weeks.
Still deciding? Walk your account manager through the job and they will match a size to it.
On private property, a roll-off container needs no city permit in Shakopee. A driveway drop, a parking lot, or a private job site sits outside the city's street rules entirely.
The answer changes the moment any part of the container touches a public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way. Shakopee's street rules make it unlawful to place goods or other obstructions on a street or other public property without a written permit first, and the city's right-of-way rules call that approval an obstruction permit. It covers placing equipment on the right-of-way for a stated length of time.
The City Engineer and the city's right-of-way director handle these approvals. Start with the City of Shakopee engineering office at 485 Gorman Street, or call the city at 952-233-9300.
Shakopee sets permit charges by annual Council resolution rather than printing them in the city code, so confirm the current amount when you apply. One more point worth knowing: the city's 14-day limit and its ban on sitting in the roadway apply to small five-yard bags and compact bins, not to the roll-off sizes we rent. If you aren't sure whether your drop spot counts as right-of-way, your account manager can help you reach the right desk.
Framing, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, siding, and ordinary cleanout junk are all fine. The limits come from Minnesota law and from what the receiving site will accept.
Minnesota keeps four whole groups of material out of mixed trash and out of landfills. Major appliances have to be recycled or reused instead. Televisions and monitors with picture tubes cannot go in mixed trash. Tires cannot be buried at all. And yard waste is barred from mixed trash and from landfills across the metro area, so grass, leaves, brush, and tree limbs need their own route.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos also stay out of a standard container, and the city's own rules bar hazardous material and hot ashes from any waste receptacle.
Treated lumber, mattresses, and anything with freon are worth flagging before delivery, since not every Scott County site takes them. Ask your account manager about an item 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.
Scott County does not operate a landfill or a transfer station of its own. The county instead publishes a list of disposal businesses and tells residents to check each one for location, hours, and cost. Every site on that list that takes construction and demolition debris is privately run.
The closest of them is the demolition landfill on West 130th Street in Shakopee, a few minutes southwest of town. The nearest transfer station is at 1020 West Black Dog Road in Burnsville, roughly 15 miles east. Rates, gate hours, and accepted materials differ between the two, and your account manager will confirm which one your load is headed to before the truck rolls.
For the material a container cannot take, the public option is the Scott County Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 588 Country Trail East in Jordan, just west of the county public works yard off Highway 282. It accepts paint, solvents, batteries, fluorescent tubes, propane cylinders, and electronics from county households, and you can reach it at 952-496-8787.
One county rule is easy to miss. Scott County requires a permit to demolish a building, bans burning or burying the debris on site, and may ask for proof of proper disposal afterward. Keep the receipts your haul generates.
588 Country Trail E, Jordan, MN 55352
County drop-off for paint, solvents, batteries, bulbs, propane cylinders, and electronics.
Most Shakopee orders go out within one to two business days, and delivery lands inside a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days early gives you room to sort a street permit and clear the drop spot, and early orders often price better too.
These five habits make a delivery go smoothly:
Winter adds one wrinkle worth planning for. Snowbanks and plow routes shrink the usable space along a Shakopee curb between December and March, so a driveway spot is the safer bet in those months.

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.
Shakopee rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day period. Debris weight and the receiving site's rates move the final number, since Scott County has no public landfill. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For anything past a load or two, renting wins. Hauling it yourself means paying at the gate every trip, plus fuel, a borrowed truck, and your own hours. One container holds what a pickup carries six or seven times over, and it sits on your property until the job is finished.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves space for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. With furniture you almost always run out of room before you run out of weight allowance.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos. Minnesota also bars major appliances, picture-tube televisions and monitors, tires, and yard waste from mixed trash and landfills. Treated lumber and anything containing freon should be mentioned ahead of delivery so the right site takes the load.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. Cheapest to order is not always cheapest to finish, though. Dense material like concrete or plaster can pass a small container's weight limit while half the space is still open, which adds overage. Keeping heavy debris in its own load usually costs less.
Three days generally costs the same as five, because the price covers the haul and the disposal rather than the calendar. What you load matters far more than how long you keep it. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton runs before delivery.
Nearly all home and construction debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, siding, furniture, cardboard, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted too, and they often cost less when kept in a separate load. When an item is borderline, check with your account manager first.
