At Prime Dumpster, we arrange delivery of roll-off containers from 10 to 40 yards across Slidell, Louisiana and the eastern side of St. Tammany Parish. Olde Towne's older housing keeps producing kitchen and bath tear-outs, the subdivisions off Gause Boulevard are on their second round of roofs and flooring, and storm recovery and new construction along the north shore mean a steady run of mixed construction debris.
Slidell is worth reading up on before you book, because it regulates containers more closely than almost any city this size and regulates haulers not at all. The paperwork sits with the property owner or the contractor rather than with us, and there is one rule here that can double how long you keep the container.

| 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. Brick, mortar, broken concrete and ceramic tile all reach a container's weight allowance while the walls still look half empty, so a Slidell slab or patio job often belongs in a 10-yard rather than a 20.
The second factor is the city's two-day rule, and it catches people out. In Slidell a full construction container must leave the property within two days, and the duty sits on the building contractor. A container that fills on a Friday is a problem unless the swap is already booked. The answer is usually one size up, or a planned mid-job swap. Your account manager prices both.
Rental length matters less here than the city's own clock, which is covered below. A container carries one job price, so three days and five days usually match, and extra days are charged at the end.

Pick the size off the material first, then sanity-check it against how fast the container fills, because of the two-day removal rule.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is where heavy material belongs. A clean load of brick, block, broken concrete or tile reaches its weight ceiling long before it fills, and it fits one driveway bay.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage clear-down, a single bathroom, a modest roof or a porch strip.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size Slidell homes book most often. It swallows a whole-house cleanout, a flooring strip, a kitchen job or multi-room work, and its walls stay low enough to load over by hand.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is the one for new construction, a large addition or a substantial demolition, where framing, drywall and decking eat volume ahead of weight. On a long job it is also the size least likely to hit the full-container rule mid-week.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the commercial size, taking demolition, industrial clearing and the biggest builds. It is the largest offered and it needs a straight approach, a level drop point and clear height.
Yes, and this is the main thing to know about Slidell. A container on private property still needs city authorization here, which is unusual.
Slidell requires an authorization from the planning department for a commercial or construction dumpster, and the container's location has to be shown on the site plan for review and approval at the time the building permit is submitted. The department issues an approval form, and that form has to be and remain fixed to the side of the container while it is in use. So the authorization is not a filing you forget about, it travels with the container.
The time you get is keyed to who asks for it, and the gap is large. A request from a Louisiana-licensed contractor buys up to six months, with two 45-day extensions from the planning department and longer where the project shows a real need. A request from anyone else buys 90 days, with the same two extensions. Settle that before the building permit goes in, not after.
Placement rules are specific, and all of them fall on the site rather than on us:
The on-site duties sit on the building contractor. The area around the container stays clear of debris. A container that has had food or animal waste put in it must be emptied or removed within 24 hours. One causing an offensive smell has to be cleaned or removed at once. And a full container has to go within two days. Any container breaching this is a public nuisance, and the city may remove or empty it at the responsible person's expense.
A separate rule covers cleanouts. On a vacated property or an eviction, where the contents will not fit the existing container in one go, the person removing them needs a planning permit for an on-site container before starting, and it may not stay more than 14 days from issue.
Two further points on a commercial property. Permanent containers are stored behind a solid wood fence and gate, or other material planning approves, out of sight from the street and never in the right-of-way, at the spot shown on the approved site plan. And commercial collection cannot happen between 10 at night and 5 in the morning where the container sits within 200 feet of any private residence. Beyond 200 feet those hours do not apply.
One genuinely good piece of news. Slidell licenses no private hauler at all. Its residential contract is for residential premises only, and the code tells every commercial unit to provide its own containers and arrange collection at least weekly. There is no approved-provider list to get onto and no exclusivity clause, so the choice of container company in Slidell is entirely yours.
Ordinary construction, demolition and household debris is fine in a Slidell container. The firm limits come from state rules and from the receiving site rather than from the city.
Hazardous material stays out of every container: fuels, solvents, wet paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, pressurized cylinders and anything carrying PCBs.
Food and animal waste is a specific problem in a construction container here, because the city requires a container that has had either put into it to be emptied or removed within 24 hours. Keep the lunch waste out of the construction container and that clock never starts.
No standard container may carry asbestos. Slidell's older Olde Towne housing and its pre-1980 subdivisions can turn up pipe lagging, resilient floor tile and textured ceiling coating, and a suspect material needs testing before anything is loaded.
Appliances with refrigerant, tires, mattresses and electronics each carry their own handling. Declare them when you book and the cost is agreed before the truck arrives.
Liquids are out, including standing rainwater in the bottom of an old tank. On the north shore that matters more than most places, because an uncovered container fills with water fast.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Slidell is a market where we would rather tell you what we can confirm than fill the space with guesses.
The city's own residential collection runs under a contract with a private company, which we do not name, and it covers residential premises only. St. Tammany Parish's website did not serve us on the routes we may use, so we name no parish facility, address, hours or phone number here. We publish a facility only when the authority behind it has confirmed the details, and never a site run by a competing hauler.
That costs you nothing in practice. Your account manager confirms the destination for your load when you book, what it charges by weight, and whether splitting part of it changes the number. Clean concrete, clean brick and clean untreated wood all have their own routes here and price differently from mixed debris.
Two local points shape that conversation. Storm debris runs through separate city and parish arrangements when those are active, which is not the same as a rented container, so ask which route applies if your work is storm-related. And because a full container has to leave within two days, the destination and the swap schedule are one decision rather than two.
Slidell is the one city in this part of the state where lead time depends on paperwork, because the planning department authorization has to be in place and the approval form has to travel with the container.
What makes the booking go quickly:
A Gulf South weather note. Cover a part-filled container whenever the crew stands down. A north shore downpour puts real water weight into drywall and insulation overnight, and you pay for that by the ton.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves Slidell itself and the eastern St. Tammany communities around it, including Pearl River, Lacombe, Mandeville, Covington and the unincorporated areas along the north shore. Slidell's container authorization rules stop at the city line, so the exact address decides which set applies.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, work through the planning authorization with 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.
Five days is the standard period, and over it a 10-yard sits at $399 to $499 and a 40-yard at $699 to $899. Weight-based disposal is added to that figure. Your account manager pins down the tonnage allowance, the overage rate and the destination at the booking stage.
Past one pickup load, renting wins in Slidell. The city's collection contract covers residential premises only, and the code tells commercial sites to provide their own containers. A container also keeps the planning authorization and the two-day removal clock under one arrangement.
Yes, with space to spare. Allow roughly a fifth of a 10-yard for a three-seat couch, with a bed frame, a dresser and boxed goods still able to follow. Household bulk uses up a container by volume rather than by weight, so a 10-yard copes with a Slidell furniture clear-down.
Fuel, solvent, wet paint, pesticide, pool chemicals and pressurized cylinders are all out, along with liquids. Asbestos-bearing material is barred from a standard container outright. Keep food and animal waste out of a construction container, because the city then requires emptying within 24 hours.
The 10-yard carries the lowest base price at $399 to $499, and on a Slidell job with brick or broken concrete in it the 10-yard is often the right container anyway. Keeping dense material in its own load usually beats one mixed container that runs past its weight allowance.
Three days generally costs what five days costs, because the price follows the job rather than the calendar. In Slidell the clock that matters is the city's: a full container has two days to leave. Have your account manager set the swap schedule when you book.
Lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinetry, fixtures, doors, windows, furniture, cardboard, brick, block and clean concrete are all welcome. Clean concrete and clean untreated wood are worth keeping as separate loads here. Run anything borderline past your account manager before you load it.
