At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across South St. Paul, Minnesota, and the nearby Dakota County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. The city's older housing stock off Concord Street and Southview Boulevard keeps a steady flow of kitchen and basement remodels going, and construction and industrial work along the river flats adds the heavier jobs.
Your price turns on container size, what the debris is and what it weighs, how long you keep the container, and the per ton rate at the facility that receives your load. Below you'll find our price ranges, the street permit rule, and the items that have to stay out.

A few things set your final cost in South St. Paul, and they stack in a predictable order.
Container size leads. The bigger container costs more up front, but guessing small is how people end up paying for a second haul or an overage charge.
Debris weight does most of the rest. Plaster, old lath, shingles, and concrete are heavy, and the scale is what the facility bills on. Mixed loads also cost more to handle than a single clean material, so separating clean concrete or brick into its own container usually pays for itself.
Distance and facility rules count too. Roll-off loads from South St. Paul head to the transfer stations and landfills that serve Dakota County, and the nearest of them sits on 117th Street East in Inver Grove Heights, a short run down the river road. The county's own guide notes that the gate there applies a one ton minimum charge, so even a light load carries a floor.
Street placement can add a step. If the container has to sit on the street, the city requires a right of way permit first, which means a little lead time rather than a big expense. Nothing in the city rules caps how many days a permitted container can stay, and no container size limit applies.

Match the size to the volume you expect and the weight of the material. Prime Dumpster stocks containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest option and it's low to the ground, which helps on a narrow city lot. It suits a bathroom, a small cleanout, or a load of broken concrete that would overload anything larger.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a full garage, a basement clear down to the slab, or flooring pulled from a couple of rooms. It's the step up most homeowners need.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the workhorse for a kitchen remodel or a whole-house cleanout. It still fits on a typical South St. Paul driveway without blocking the sidewalk.
The 30-Yard Dumpster takes a gut renovation, a garage teardown, or a new build. Pick it when the debris is bulky rather than dense.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's built for commercial and industrial work, big demolition, and jobs that fill a container faster than anyone expects.

On private property, like your own driveway or a fenced site, you don't need a city permit for a container in South St. Paul. Once any part of it reaches the street, the curb line, the alley, or the sidewalk, the rule changes.
The City of South St. Paul names dumpsters directly. Its permits page says an obstruction permit, which the city also calls a right of way permit, is required when construction materials, dumpsters, or storage pods are placed in the public right of way. The Engineering Department issues it, and it processes applications through the Dakota County One Stop Permit Shop. The city asks you to give the exact address where the container will sit.
Two details are worth knowing before you apply. The permit covers a set stretch of right of way for a set length of time, and the city does not grant extensions, so a job that runs long needs a fresh permit. The permit also has to stay available at the site for inspection while the container is there.
The city publishes no fee for this permit, because its license and permit fees are set each year by council resolution. For a current figure, placement questions, or help telling where the right of way starts, call the South St. Paul Engineering Department at 651-554-3210. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with earlier summer hours. Your account manager can also confirm the right contact before delivery.
Everyday remodeling and cleanout debris is welcome. The limits come from Minnesota's disposal rules, from Dakota County, and from what the receiving facility will take.
Minnesota draws a narrow line around demolition debris, covering concrete, brick, bituminous concrete, untreated wood, masonry, glass, trees, rock, and plastic building parts. Household garbage and asbestos are outside that definition, and the state requires demolition debris to go to a permitted facility. Asbestos has its own handling rules and never belongs in a general debris container.
Hazardous material is out of a standard roll-off across the board. Paint, solvents, fuel, antifreeze, pesticides, pool chemicals, aerosols, and gas cylinders all need a separate route. So do batteries of every kind, including the rechargeable and lithium ion cells that start fires in trucks and at sorting lines.
Electronics are their own category in Minnesota and can't go out with trash. Tires, mattresses, and appliances holding refrigerant are handled separately too, and they are usually billed per item rather than by weight. Tell your account manager about them when you book instead of burying them in the load.
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.
Roll-off loads from South St. Paul are taken to permitted transfer stations and landfills serving Dakota County. The closest is the landfill on 117th Street East in Inver Grove Heights, roughly five miles south of the city. Others sit in Rosemount and Burnsville. These are commercial facilities that weigh each load and bill by the ton, which is why your debris mix, not just the container size, shapes the disposal side of your quote.
For the items a landfill won't take, Dakota County runs The Recycling Zone at 3365 Dodd Road, Eagan, MN 55121. It's open Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Thursday, noon to 8 p.m., Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and it serves residents of Dakota County and six neighboring counties. Household chemicals, paint, batteries, bulbs, and used oil are accepted free. Televisions and monitors carry a $10 recycling fee each and tire fees start at $6, so bring a card or exact change.
Your account manager can confirm which facility is receiving your container and walk you through the disposal charges before delivery.
3365 Dodd Road, Eagan, MN 55121
Dakota County drop-off site, open Wednesday through Saturday.
Most South St. Paul rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking earlier gives the street permit time to clear and usually costs less.
Use these tips to keep delivery simple:
Winter changes the picture here. A container in the street can get in the way of plowing, and the city treats debris left on a street or alley as a nuisance, so a snowy week is a good reason to keep the container on private ground if you can.

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.
Expect $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. The weight and mix of your debris and the per ton rate at the receiving facility move the final figure. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Renting usually wins. The nearest landfill applies a one ton minimum charge, so a half-full pickup costs the same as a full one, and you pay that every trip. Add fuel and the hours spent loading twice, and one container covers a real project for less.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser, and bagged household items. Bulky furniture runs you out of room long before it runs you out of weight allowance.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, antifreeze, used oil, pool chemicals, and asbestos all stay out. So do batteries of any type and electronics, which Minnesota keeps out of regular trash. Tires, mattresses, and appliances with refrigerant need separate handling and should be named when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. What you load still decides the bill. Plaster, tile, and concrete from an older South St. Paul house are dense enough to pass a small container's weight allowance, so keeping heavy material in its own load is often cheaper.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as a five-day one, since containers are priced by the job and not by the day. Weight drives the bill far more than the calendar does. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each additional ton costs before delivery.
Most home and construction debris is fine: lumber, drywall, plaster, lath, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, carpet, and cleanout junk. Clean concrete, brick, and masonry are accepted as well, and they cost less to handle when kept separate. Run anything unusual past your account manager first.
