At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Sioux City, Iowa, and the surrounding Woodbury County area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Morningside and the older river-side neighborhoods keep a steady flow of roof tear-offs and basement cleanouts going, and construction along the Highway 75 and Interstate 29 corridors adds commercial work on top of that.
What you pay comes down to the container size, how heavy your debris is, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the site that takes your load. Below, you'll find price ranges, the city's unusually specific street permit rules, and what can and can't go in.

Four things shape a Sioux City quote, and the container itself is only the first.
Size comes first. A larger container costs more, but the right size the first time beats paying overage charges or booking a second haul partway through the job.
Weight is the next lever. Shingles, plaster, brick, and concrete are dense, so they reach a weight limit fast. Certain items are billed per piece instead, which is why it helps to describe the load when you call.
Where the load is taken matters too. The city's old landfill now runs as a drop-off center for residents only, so contractor loads from Sioux City cross the river to a permitted landfill in Nebraska. That drive is part of every quote.
City rules can add a line as well. If the container has to sit in the street, Sioux City charges a permit fee that steps up with the length of the rental, from a two-week permit through to a full year, with an extra daily charge for each metered parking space it takes. Your account manager will fold the likely cost into your price.

Pick by volume first, then check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest container we deliver. It suits one bathroom, a small cleanout, or a landscaping job, and it's the right pick for concrete, brick, and tile, since heavy material reaches the weight limit while there's still room on top.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is a good match for a garage cleanout, a flooring tear-out, or a small roof job. It gives you noticeably more room for a modest step up in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most common choice for Sioux City homes. It covers a whole-house cleanout or a remodel across several rooms, and it still fits a standard driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles bigger renovations, additions, and new home construction where mixed debris adds up quickly.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size. It's built for commercial construction, large demolition, and industrial cleanouts.
Weighing two sizes against each other? Walk your account manager through the job and they'll help you land on one.
On private property, like your own driveway or a fenced job site, no city permit is needed in Sioux City. In the street, the rules are some of the most detailed anywhere, and they're worth reading before you pick a drop spot.
Sioux City treats a dumpster or roll-off container in the right-of-way as a temporary encroachment and requires a separate permit for each container, issued by the city engineer. Plans go to the Engineering Division, and the application has to be filed at least seven days before the permit takes effect. The city can also ask for a surety bond and casualty insurance before issuing it.
The fee is tiered by how long you need the spot, starting with a two-week permit and running up to a one-year permit, plus a small non-refundable processing fee. If the container occupies metered parking, there's a daily charge for each space. No container can stay in the same roadway spot for more than a year, and the city engineer can't renew past that.
The placement rules are specific. The container has to sit within twelve inches of the curb, leave at least sixteen feet of open traveled roadway beside it, and stay clear of sidewalks, fire lanes, bus stops, accessible spaces, and curb drainage. The owner's name, address, and phone number have to be visible on the side facing the road.
Sioux City also requires reflective marking, which is unusual. Any end of the container facing oncoming traffic needs retroreflective sheeting at least two inches wide, in a red and white pattern low down and again between thirty and sixty inches above the road, with reflective corner markings at both ends. It's a real equipment requirement, not a suggestion, and the city can remove a container that doesn't comply and bill the owner.
For questions about a specific address, Inspections and Permit Services is at 405 6th Street and can be reached at 712-224-5216, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Your account manager can also help you reach the right desk and sort out the marking before delivery.
Most household and building debris loads without a problem. The limits come from Iowa law and from what the receiving site accepts.
Iowa bans several things from landfills statewide. Yard waste can't be land disposed, and has to be kept separate for composting. Lead-acid batteries, the kind in cars and mowers, have been banned since 1990, and a retailer has to take your old one when you buy a new battery. Whole tires are banned unless they're processed first, which the Iowa Department of Natural Resources describes as cut into pieces of eighteen inches or less. A landfill also can't accept used oil or used oil filters for disposal.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, and fuel stay out of a standard container as well. The city's own rules list hazardous waste, lead-acid batteries, waste oil, redemption beverage containers, and loose yard waste as prohibited at the disposal site.
Iowa also requires every load to travel covered or tied down so nothing blows onto the street. We handle that on our end, but it's worth knowing why the container has to be loaded level rather than heaped.
Tires, mattresses, and large appliances are handled piece by piece and carry their own charges. Mention them when you book, and ask your account manager about anything you're unsure of 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.
Sioux City closed its own landfill years ago. The site now runs as the Citizen's Convenience Center at 5800 28th Street, Sioux City, IA 51108, which is where residents take what the curbside carts won't hold. The gate number is 712-255-8345, and the hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., closed Sundays and major holidays, with vehicles needing to be unloaded five minutes before closing.
The center charges by weight. Residential cleanout material, including carpet, lumber, insulation, shingles, tile, and cabinetry, runs $67 a ton with a $28.75 minimum for anything under 900 pounds, and an uncovered or unsecured load picks up a $15 surcharge on top. A high-visibility vest is now required outside your vehicle on site.
One important limit: the center does not take construction debris from contractors working on paid jobs, and no commercial waste at all. Loads from a contractor's roll-off container go instead to a permitted landfill at 1402 U.S.-20 in Jackson, Nebraska, roughly fifteen minutes south of the city, which is where the tonnage on a commercial bill is recorded.
Commercial collection in Sioux City is open to private haulers, and the city says so plainly in its own rules. Your account manager will confirm which site is taking your load and what fees apply before the truck is dispatched.
5800 28th Street, Sioux City, IA 51108
Run by the City of Sioux City at its former landfill. Open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Saturday 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Residential loads only.
Most Sioux City rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If the container is going in the street, build in more lead time, since the city wants the permit application a week ahead.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
Plan around the gate hours as well. The disposal sites serving the city are closed on Sundays, so a container filled late on a Saturday is usually hauled the following week.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster delivers throughout Sioux City and the surrounding Woodbury County communities, from Morningside and Greenville to the north side, the Riverside and Leeds neighborhoods, and out toward Sergeant Bluff along the Interstate 29 corridor. Wherever the job sits, we coordinate delivery, pickup, and disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, sort out the street rules if they apply, and give you a 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.
Sioux City dumpster rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. What you load and the disposal fees on your load both move the final figure. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Renting wins for most projects here. The city's drop-off center won't take contractor debris at all, so a self-haul means repeat trips in a pickup, each with a minimum charge at the scale. One container handles the whole job in a single haul, and you don't spend your weekend driving.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. With bulky household items you run out of space well before you approach the weight limit, so a 10-yard often covers a small cleanout.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and used oil. Iowa also bans lead-acid batteries, whole unprocessed tires, and yard waste from landfills statewide. Mattresses and large appliances are billed per piece rather than by weight, so set them aside and mention them when you book the container.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price, $399 to $499. What you load still decides the final cost. Heavy debris like concrete or plaster can push a small container past its weight allowance quickly, so keeping dense material in a clean load of its own usually works out cheaper.
A three-day rental normally costs the same as the five-day rate, because containers are priced by the job and not by the day. Weight drives the bill far more than the calendar. One exception: a street permit in Sioux City is priced by duration, so a shorter stay can save on the permit side.
Most home and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, furniture, carpet, and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick, and soil are accepted too, and they often cost less in a separate load. If an item has you second-guessing, check with your account manager first.
