Mon - Sat 7:00 am to 7:00 pm
At Prime Dumpster, we arrange delivery of roll-off containers from 10 to 40 yards across Sherman, Texas and the wider Grayson County area north of the Dallas metroplex. The older housing around the downtown square and along Travis Street is well into second and third remodels, the subdivisions off FM 1417 keep producing roofing and flooring tear-outs, and construction along the Highway 75 and Highway 82 corridors turns out concrete, framing waste and demolition debris by the container.
Sherman is also a city where we are going to be unusually direct with you before you book, because the City of Sherman runs its own waste operation and takes a strong position on commercial service inside the city limits. Knowing that up front saves a wasted call, and it also shows exactly where we can help and where the City is your first stop.

| Size | Average Price Range | Approximate Dimensions | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Yard Dumpster | $399–$499 | 12' L × 8' W × 3.5' H | Concrete, brick, and heavy debris; small cleanouts; single-room remodels |
| 15-Yard Dumpster | $449–$569 | 16' L × 7.5' W × 4–5' H | Garage cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, small roof tear-offs |
| 20-Yard Dumpster | $499–$649 | 22' L × 7.5' W × 4.5' H | Whole-home cleanouts, multi-room renovations, flooring removal, roofing |
| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |
| 40-Yard Dumpster | $699–$899 | 22–24' L × 8' W × 8' H | Commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts, large-scale construction |
Size sets the base figure and the weight of the load moves it furthest. Concrete, brick, mortar and ceramic tile all reach a container's weight allowance while the walls still look half empty, so a Sherman driveway, patio or slab job frequently belongs in a 10-yard rather than a 20.
The second factor is which container sizes are actually available to you here, and this is the part worth reading twice. The City of Sherman supplies commercial roll-off containers itself, and its published range runs from 20 cubic yards up to 40. It lists no 10-yard container and no 15-yard container at all, and its front-load sizes stop at 8 cubic yards. So the two smallest roll-off sizes are the gap in what the City offers, and those are exactly the sizes a dense load of concrete, brick or tile should go into. If your job is heavy rather than bulky, the size conversation is worth having with us even where the City handles the service.
Of the three variables, how long you keep it moves the Sherman number least. A container carries one job price, so three days and five days usually land together, and extra days are charged at the end.

Let the material pick the size. On a Grayson County lot access is rarely the constraint, so this really is a question about what is in the pile.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the heavy-material container, and in Sherman it is the size the municipal roll-off range does not cover. A clean load of concrete, brick, block or tile reaches its weight ceiling long before it fills, and it fits one bay of a driveway.
The 15-Yard Dumpster takes a garage clear-down, one bathroom, a light roof or a porch takedown, and it is the other size outside the City's published range.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most whole-house work calls for. Cleanouts, flooring removal, kitchen jobs and multi-room renovations all fit, with walls low enough to load over the side.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits new construction, a large addition or a substantial demolition, where framing lumber, drywall and roof decking fill volume faster than they build weight.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the commercial size, for demolition, industrial clearing and the larger corridor jobs. It is the biggest offered and it wants a straight approach, a level drop point and clear height.
A container on private property, in a driveway or inside a job-site boundary, is the normal arrangement across Grayson County, and no placement permit question arises for most jobs outside the Sherman city limits.
Inside the Sherman city limits the picture is different, and we would rather set it out plainly than let you find out later. The City of Sherman states on its own website that it is the exclusive provider of commercial waste and recycling services for business and industry in the Sherman city limits. It sells front-load containers, roll-off containers from 20 through 40 cubic yards, cardboard recycling and waste audits into that position, through its Solid Waste and Recycling department.
What we cannot tell you is how wide that exclusivity reaches. Sherman's ordinances are published through an outside publisher whose system does not serve automated requests, and the city's own code page carries no text. So three real questions are open: whether the exclusivity covers a temporary construction container rather than ongoing premises service, whether it reaches a residential renovation when the claim is framed around business and industry, and which instrument carries it.
So the first action on a commercial job inside the Sherman city limits is a call to the City's Solid Waste and Recycling department on 903-892-7261, and we make it. If the answer is that the City has to handle your commercial service, we will tell you so, and we will tell you where we can still be useful: the 10-yard and 15-yard sizes the City does not offer, residential work, and any job on the Grayson County side of the city line. We would rather be the company that gave you the straight answer than the one that sent a truck it should not have sent.
Two other city rules are worth knowing. Sherman's Environmental Code Compliance department enforces the codes covering trash, junk, debris, litter, obstructions and open storage, separately from building code compliance. A container that spills or blocks a sidewalk is their business, so keep the load below the rim and the surround clear. And the City's household hazardous waste collection, run with the regional council of governments, falls on Saturday 2 May 2026 and does not accept business or contractor waste.
Ordinary construction, demolition and household debris is acceptable in a container here. The firm limits come from state rules and from the receiving facility.
Hazardous material stays out of every container: fuels, solvents, wet paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, pressurized cylinders, automotive fluids and anything carrying PCBs. The regional household hazardous waste event takes these from households once a year, but not from businesses or contractors, so a job site needs a separate arrangement.
Asbestos has no place in a standard Texas container. Sherman's prewar housing around the square and its mid-century stock both turn up pipe lagging, resilient floor tile and textured ceiling coating, and Texas requires a survey before demolition work on many structures. A suspect material needs testing rather than loading.
Tires, rims, mattresses, appliances with refrigerant, drums, medical waste and old cathode-ray televisions and monitors all carry their own handling. The regional collection event names several of them as items it will not take, which is a fair guide to what needs its own route. Declare any of them when you book and the cost is agreed before the truck arrives.
Liquids are out, including standing rainwater in an old drum or tank. Water is dead weight and it is billed by the ton.
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.
Sherman is a market where we would rather tell you what we have confirmed than fill the space.
The City of Sherman Solid Waste and Recycling department runs its own yard, its own drop-off station and its own named management. It publishes limited drop-off hours, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings, and it changed its citizen drop-off rates on 1 October 2026, so ask for the current figures. That drop-off is for citizens with small loads, not a destination for a rented container, and it is a useful option for the last awkward items at the end of a job.
Beyond that we name no facility. Grayson County publishes no solid waste facility we could verify, the state's waste permitting register does not publish an operator for the sites it lists, and every landfill and transfer station serving this part of north Texas is run by a private hauling company. We do not list a competitor's site and we do not publish an address, hours or a phone number for a facility the public authority behind it has not confirmed.
What that means for you costs nothing. Your account manager settles the destination for your specific load when you book, tells you what it charges by weight, and tells you whether splitting the load changes the number. In north Texas clean concrete, clean brick and clean untreated wood often have recovery routes that price well below mixed debris, and a Sherman slab or chimney job is exactly the kind of load where separating pays for itself.
811 S E Street, Sherman, TX
The City of Sherman department yard and citizen drop-off station, with its own named superintendent, foreman and administrator. Drop-off station hours as published by the department: Tuesday and Thursday 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Citizen drop-off rates changed on 1 October 2026. A small-load drop-off for citizens, not a destination for a rented container.
Outside the Sherman city limits, most containers can be scheduled within one to two business days. Inside the limits, allow time for the call to the City, because that question is settled before a date is promised rather than after.
What makes the booking go quickly:
A north Texas weather note. Keep a part-filled container covered whenever work stops. A spring storm puts real water weight into drywall, insulation and carpet overnight, and hail season can turn a planned re-roof into an urgent one, so lead times tighten across Grayson County after a bad night.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves the Sherman area and the Grayson County communities around it, including Howe, Van Alstyne, Gunter, Tom Bean, Whitesboro, Pottsboro and the unincorporated land out toward Lake Texoma. Outside the Sherman city limits the commercial service question does not arise in the same way, so tell us which side of the line your job sits on and the answer comes back quickly.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will confirm whether the site is inside the Sherman city limits, settle the city question for you, and give you a firm number 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.
Across the standard five-day period a 10-yard runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard $699 to $899. Disposal is then charged against the weight of the load. Your account manager fixes the tonnage allowance, the overage rate and the destination as part of the booking.
Past one pickup load, renting wins around Sherman. The City's citizen drop-off opens for a few hours on three days a week and is sized for small loads, and a self-haul still pays a charge on every trip. A container also keeps the city question with us rather than with you.
Yes, with space to spare. Reckon a three-seat couch at roughly a fifth of a 10-yard, with the rest free for a bed frame, a dresser and boxes. Household goods fill the walls long before they trouble the scale, which is why a 10-yard handles a furniture clear-down in Texas.
Keep out fuel, solvent, wet paint, pesticide, pool chemicals, automotive fluid, any pressurized cylinder and liquids of any kind. Asbestos-bearing material cannot be loaded at all. Tires, rims, drums, refrigerant appliances, medical waste and old televisions and monitors each need separate handling.
The 10-yard carries the lowest base price at $399 to $499, and on a Sherman job with concrete or brick in it the 10-yard is usually the right container anyway. It is also one of the two sizes the City's own roll-off range does not cover, which is where we are most useful here.
In Sherman a three-day booking and a five-day booking normally come to the same figure, because the price is set against the job. Weight is what moves a Grayson County bill. Ask your account manager to confirm the included tonnage and the overage rate before the container is delivered.
Framing lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, doors, windows, furniture, cardboard, brick, block and clean concrete all load without a problem. Clean concrete and clean untreated wood are worth keeping as separate loads in north Texas. Anything you are unsure of goes past your account manager first.
