At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Staten Island, New York, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. The borough has more single-family homes and more driveways than anywhere else in the city, so basement cleanouts, roof tear-offs, additions, and steady construction keep containers busy from Tottenville to St. George.
Staten Island is part of New York City, which means city rules shape your rental as much as the job does. Below, we cover what drives the price here, the permit a container needs at the curb, what has to stay out of the load, and how quickly we can get one delivered.

| 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 baseline. Jumping one size up almost always beats paying for a second haul partway through the job.
Weight does the rest. Disposal is billed by the ton, and the borough's older housing stock throws off plenty of plaster, tile, and masonry, which fills the weight allowance long before the walls do.
Distance plays a bigger part here than most places. No landfill operates anywhere in New York City, so every load leaves the borough by truck and travels to a processing or disposal site elsewhere. That travel is built into your quote.
Curb placement adds a permit and a small fee. New York City's container permit handout sets the fee at $30 for up to five consecutive days, and it is the carting company's job to pull it, not yours. Your account manager will sort out whether your job needs one.

Choose the size by how much debris you expect, then confirm the spot can take it. We carry five, and the borough's driveways make the middle sizes especially practical.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the compact choice, right for one bathroom, a small deck tear-out, or a load of brick and concrete that would overload anything bigger.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a packed garage, a basement, or a single layer of shingles off an average Staten Island roof, without stepping up in price as far as a 20.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most households here land on. It covers a whole-home cleanout or a multi-room remodel and still fits on a typical two-car driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for additions, gut renovations, and new construction, where framing, drywall, and fixtures all come out in the same week.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and suits commercial demolition and big fit-out jobs that produce high volumes of light material. Access is usually the deciding factor.

A container that sits entirely on private property, such as your own driveway or a fenced site, needs no city street permit. That covers most Staten Island jobs, which is one advantage of the borough's layout.
A container at the curb is different. New York City requires a commercial refuse container permit for each container placed on a city street, and the city is clear that the carting company, not the property owner, has to obtain it. Each permit covers one container at one spot for up to five consecutive days, and approved companies can usually get one the same or the next business day.
Longer jobs have a second route. Work sites that already hold a Department of Buildings or city construction permit can use a 30 to 90 day construction debris container permit instead, which the city issues only to registered general contractors.
Placement rules are strict. A container has to sit parallel to the curb and reach no more than nine feet into the street, carry reflective markings and the owner's name and phone, and stay clear of crosswalks, pedestrian ramps, corners, fire hydrants, and no-standing or no-parking zones. The permit also does not reserve you a parking space.
One more local point worth raising early. Since September 2026, a Staten Island business arranging ordinary commercial waste service has to use a carter the city has authorized for the borough, though the city excludes construction and demolition debris from that program. Tell your account manager whether the job is residential or commercial and they will confirm which rules apply before booking.
Everyday renovation and cleanout debris is fine. The restrictions come from New York State law and from New York City's own handling rules.
Electronics top the list. New York State banned consumers from putting covered electronics in landfills, in the trash, or at the curb back in 2015, as the state's electronic waste rules explain. Televisions, monitors, laptops, and desktops have to come out before the container is hauled.
Hazardous material stays out too: liquids, fuel, solvents, paint, and asbestos have no place in a container. The city runs a special waste drop-off on Staten Island, off the Muldoon Avenue exit of the southbound West Shore Expressway, that takes paint, motor oil, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, aerosols, and passenger car tires from residents. It is open to households only, not to businesses or commercial vehicles.
Batteries deserve a separate mention, since lithium and rechargeable types cause fires in collection trucks. Keep them out of the container entirely.
Tires, appliances with a cooling unit, and mattresses are usually billed per piece rather than by weight. Flag them when you book, and ask your account manager about anything you are unsure of.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Staten Island has no landfill, and neither does the rest of New York City. The last one on the island closed years ago, so everything leaves the borough by truck.
The only transfer facility in the borough on New York State's permitted list is the Staten Island Transfer Station at 600 West Service Road, which the city's Department of Sanitation owns and runs for its own collections. The state's permitted facility list shows its permit active through 2034 and its gate number as 718-967-1400.
Container loads of construction and demolition debris take a different route. They go to privately run transfer and processing stations elsewhere in the city, which New York City permits directly, and the recovered and residual material moves on from there to facilities outside the five boroughs.
That is also why the city registers the companies that carry this material. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and what the weight allowance is before the container is dropped.
600 West Service Road, Staten Island, NY 10314
Run by the New York City Department of Sanitation for its own collections. The only permitted transfer facility in the borough on the state list.
A container going on private property can usually be scheduled within one to two business days, arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A curb placement takes a little longer because the permit has to be filed and approved first.
Here is how to keep it moving:
Street permits are the usual bottleneck here, not trucks. A standard curb permit runs five consecutive days, so plan the fill and the pickup around that window.

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.
Plan on $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, on a five-day rental. Weight, the travel distance out of the borough, and any city permit all feed into the final number. Your account manager confirms your included tonnage and overage rate before delivery.
There is no dump to drive to. New York City has no landfill, so self-hauling means long round trips to a transfer station that may not accept a private load at all. For any real project, a container is both cheaper and far less hassle than trying to move the debris yourself.
Yes, with space left over. A three-seat couch fills roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves room for a mattress, a dresser, and plenty of boxes. Bulky furniture uses up volume long before it comes close to the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, fuel, solvents, paint, and asbestos. New York bans electronics from landfills and the trash, so televisions, monitors, and computers have to come out first. Batteries of every type belong at the city drop-off site, and tires, mattresses, and cooling appliances are billed per piece.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. The bigger saving usually comes from matching the container to the debris. Masonry and tile hit the weight allowance quickly, so keeping heavy material in a separate load tends to cost less than paying overage on one mixed container.
Three days generally costs the same as five, since we price by the job rather than the day. Weight drives the bill. If the container is going at the curb, note that the standard city permit covers five consecutive days, so a shorter rental fits inside the same window.
Most ordinary debris qualifies: lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout material. Clean concrete and brick are allowed as well, though they are heavy and often better kept in their own load. When an item is borderline, check with your account manager before it goes in.
