At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across St Petersburg, Florida, and the surrounding Pinellas County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Storm repair and re-roofing across the peninsula, bungalow renovations in the Kenwood and Old Northeast neighborhoods, and steady construction along the Gandy and 34th Street corridors keep containers moving here most weeks of the year.
Your price depends on the container size, the weight and type of debris, how long you keep it, and what the county charges at the scale. Below you'll find our ranges, when the city wants a right-of-way permit, what Florida keeps out of landfills, and where your load goes.

A few local things decide where your quote lands.
Size comes first. A larger container costs more, but a container that's too small costs more again once you add a second haul or run past the included weight.
Debris weight is the next lever, and it matters here more than most places. Tile roofing, old terrazzo, concrete, and wet drywall are heavy, and a re-roof fills the weight allowance long before it fills the container.
The county scale is the third factor. Pinellas County charges $63.57 per ton to take a load at its disposal complex, a rate that went up on the first of October. Loads needing extra processing can carry a contractor surcharge on top.
Keeping the job inside the county helps too. The county adds an out-of-county surcharge, matching the per ton rate, on waste brought in from elsewhere. Your account manager can explain how your load will be weighed and billed before delivery.

Choose by volume, then sanity-check the weight. We carry five sizes, and St Petersburg lots often set the limit as much as the debris does.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest and the easiest to squeeze onto a narrow bungalow driveway. It's right for a bathroom, a small patio tear-out, or a load of concrete and block.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, a flooring swap, or a small shingle tear-off. It's the middle ground when a 10 feels tight.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is our most-requested size in the city. A whole-home cleanout, a kitchen and bath together, or a standard roof replacement all fit.
The 30-Yard Dumpster takes a gut renovation, a new build, or a structure coming down. Choose it when the debris is bulky and the job runs for weeks.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It's built for commercial construction, large demolition, and industrial cleanouts with steady volume.
Not sure which fits your driveway? Describe the spot to your account manager and they'll size it with you.
On private property, a driveway or a fenced job site, no city permit is needed in St Petersburg. That's the simplest placement and usually the cheapest.
Once part of the container is in the street, on a sidewalk, or in a public easement, the city wants a right-of-way use permit. The Engineering and Capital Improvements Department handles those, along with traffic control review. The number is 727-893-7238, and the department publishes both the permit application and a temporary traffic control form.
One city rule catches people out at night. Anything sitting in a St Petersburg street between sunset and sunrise, including a container, has to be marked to the Florida Department of Transportation's traffic control standards. That means reflective marking or lit devices around it, every night it's there.
A second rule applies when the job ends. Leaving dirt, building material, or debris in the street after work stops is a violation by itself, so the area has to be swept clean when the container goes.
If you aren't sure whether your spot counts as right-of-way, your account manager can help you reach the right office before the truck is scheduled.
Most remodel and cleanout debris is welcome. The limits come from Florida law and from what the county will take at the gate.
Florida bars a short list from landfills outright. Lead acid batteries are out, and they can't go to a waste-to-energy plant either. Used oil is out. Yard trash is restricted at lined landfills unless the site captures and uses its landfill gas, so plan on keeping branches and clippings separate.
Pinellas County adds its own refusals at the disposal complex. Vehicles and mobile homes, biological and infectious waste, explosives, gasoline and fuel oil, hazardous waste, liquid waste, and radioactive waste are all rejected at the scale. Asbestos, sludge, soil, treated lumber, and boats aren't walk-ins either; they need a booked appointment.
Tires have their own rules. Up to four may stay on the rim, the rest have to be stripped, anything over 36 inches must be quartered, and five or more tires in a load changes how the load is priced.
Paint, solvents, and fuel stay out of a standard container as well. Ask your account manager about anything that feels borderline, because a rejected load costs a day and a return trip.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Most debris from a St Petersburg job goes to the Pinellas County Solid Waste Disposal Complex at 3095 114th Ave. N., St. Petersburg, FL 33716. The county runs it, and the scalehouse is open Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. It's closed Sundays and on county holidays.
Loads are weighed in and out, so your bill reflects what you actually threw away rather than a flat guess. The county also sells a personal protective equipment kit at the gate, because a helmet, eye protection, and a high-visibility vest are expected on site.
For leftover chemicals, the Pinellas County Household Hazardous Waste Center sits nearby at 2855 109th Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33716. It's closed Mondays, open Tuesday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and open on the first and third Saturday of each month. Electronics are no longer taken there, so route those separately.
One detail worth knowing: any container a permitted hauler places in the city has to carry the hauler's name and a working phone number on the side. If you need to reach someone about a container, that number is right there. Your account manager will confirm the receiving facility and the weight terms before your delivery.

Run by Pinellas County. Scalehouse open Monday to Friday, 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Closed Sundays.
2855 109th Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33716
Closed Monday. Open Tuesday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, plus the first and third Saturday of each month.
Most St Petersburg rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. After a storm, lead times stretch across the whole county, so book as early as you can.
Five things that keep delivery simple:
Collection hours in the city run between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m., so a very early or very late swap isn't possible. The county complex is also closed on Sundays, which can push a Saturday-afternoon finish into the following week.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery throughout St Petersburg and the nearby Pinellas County communities, from the Old Northeast, Kenwood, and Jungle Terrace out to Gulfport, South Pasadena, Treasure Island, St. Pete Beach, and Lealman. Whether it's a single re-roof or a long commercial build, we schedule the drop, the swap, and the haul around your crew.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, check whether the drop spot needs a permit, 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.
A 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. The debris type and the county's charge by the ton both move the final figure. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Past a load or two, renting wins. Every self-haul trip to the county complex means weighing in, weighing out, and paying by the ton, plus fuel and your own hours. One container takes the whole job in a single haul and you load it on your own clock.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. Bulky furniture runs you out of space well before it runs you out of weight allowance.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquid waste, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Florida also bars lead acid batteries and used oil from landfills and restricts yard trash. The county rejects vehicles, explosives, and infectious waste at the gate. Mention anything unusual when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499, and it fits where bigger ones can't. Remember that cheapest to rent isn't always cheapest overall. Tile, concrete, and wet material can pass the weight allowance quickly, so splitting heavy debris into its own load often saves money.
Three days usually costs what five days costs, because the price covers the job rather than the calendar. What moves your bill is weight. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs, and you'll know the ceiling in advance.
Most building and cleanout debris is fine: lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, siding, carpet, furniture, and general junk. Clean concrete and block are accepted too. Keep construction debris unmixed with household garbage, since a mixed load is treated differently at the scale.
