At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Stevens Point, Wisconsin, and the surrounding Portage County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older homes on the near north side coming up for renovation, student housing turnover around the university, and steady commercial construction along Division Street and Business 51 all keep roll-off containers working here.
Four things set your price: the container size, the weight and type of debris, how long you keep it, and the county tipping fee when the load is dropped. Below are our price ranges, the city rule for a container in the street, where your debris actually goes, and what Wisconsin keeps out of a landfill.

Here is what shifts the number in Stevens Point, from the container you pick to the scale in Plover.
Size comes first, and it is the cheapest decision to get right. Moving up one size costs far less than a second haul, and far less than a weight overage.
Debris weight is the next lever, and Portage County prices by the ton. Construction and demolition material, meaning concrete, brick, shingles, drywall and wood, is billed at $83.50 per ton, the same rate the county charges for household garbage, with a $20 minimum for anything up to 460 pounds. Shingles and concrete reach a ton fast, so heavy material in its own small container usually beats mixing it in.
Sorting helps here too. Wisconsin bans a long list of recyclable material from landfills statewide, and clean separated loads of cardboard, metal or clean wood can be handled differently from mixed debris. Your account manager can walk you through which parts of a job are worth splitting out.
Rental length matters less than most people expect, though Stevens Point sets one outside limit worth knowing. A permit to place anything on a city street runs for no more than four months and may be pulled by the common council at any time, so a very long project needs planning rather than a single open-ended drop.

Size the container by volume, then double-check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest. It covers a bathroom tear-out, a single room, or a yard project, and it is the right choice for concrete, brick, and dirt, which top out the weight allowance while the container still looks mostly empty.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the mid-size workhorse. It handles a garage or attic cleanout, old carpet and tile, or a small roof tear-off on a single-story house.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Stevens Point homeowners pick. A full move-out cleanout or a remodel touching several rooms usually fits here without crowding.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits larger work, including additions, new builds, and demolition jobs that make a lot of mixed debris in a few days.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, aimed at commercial construction and big industrial cleanouts where a smaller size would need swapping twice.

If the container sits on private property, in your own driveway or inside a fenced job site, you will not need a city permit in Stevens Point. That is the simplest route and the one we recommend when the site allows it.
A container in the street is different. City rules say nobody may place or deposit any material on a street, alley, sidewalk or public ground without permission from the Director of Public Works first. Three limits come with that permission: it lasts no more than four months, it cannot block more than a third of the street width in front of your property, and the common council can revoke it at any time.
The city also runs a separate Right of Way Work Permit for work in the right of way, handled by the Engineering Division through an online application. Excavation in or under a street needs its own written permit from the city inspection department.
Public Works and Engineering are at 1515 Strongs Avenue, open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. For questions about your address, call the Director of Public Works at 715-346-1564. If you are not sure whether your drop spot counts as public ground, your account manager can point you to the right contact before delivery.
Most construction and cleanout debris is fine to load. The limits here come from a strict statewide rule and from what the county facility will take.
Wisconsin is unusually firm about this. State recycling law bans a list of materials from being landfilled or burned anywhere in the state, in homes and businesses alike. The banned list covers cardboard and containerboard, office paper, newspaper, magazines, glass containers, steel and aluminum cans, number one and two plastic containers, electronics, major appliances, lead acid batteries, used oil and oil filters, waste tires, and yard waste including brush under six inches across. Those need to come out of the load, not go in it.
The county facility adds its own refusals. It will not take asbestos, medical waste such as needles or medication, items with radioactive material like smoke alarms and exit signs, fire extinguishers, or yard waste.
Standard exclusions apply as well: hazardous waste, liquids, solvents, fuel, and wet paint. Stevens Point requires latex paint to be dried solid before it goes in the trash at all, and the city bars burning or burying demolition material, electronics, appliances, tires, and paint on any property in town.
Not sure about something in particular? Check with your account manager before it goes in the container.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Stevens Point collects household trash and recycling itself, in city-owned carts, and those carts are not allowed to hold demolition material. The city's drop-off site at the City Garage on Sixth Avenue is for residents of one to four unit homes and is not set up for commercial or contractor volumes. That is why a project in town needs a container.
Loads from Stevens Point go to the Portage County Solid Waste Transfer Facility at 600 Moore Rd, Plover, WI 54467, about ten minutes south of downtown. The county department takes trash and recyclables from residents, contracted haulers, and businesses alike. The transfer facility is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., with shorter Saturday hours that shift by season, and it closes for six holidays a year.
Two county rules are worth knowing up front. Every load has to arrive covered, strapped, or fully enclosed, and an unsecured load can be refused or charged a surcharge. And a big demolition job, such as taking down a house or barn, needs a call to the county at least 48 hours ahead so they can handle the volume. Your account manager will confirm the destination for your load and sort out the advance notice when a job is large.
600 Moore Rd, Plover, WI 54467
Open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., with shorter seasonal Saturday hours.
Most Stevens Point orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A couple of extra days helps if you need city permission for a street placement or the county needs advance notice.
Five things that keep delivery day smooth:
County hours matter at the end of the job too. The transfer facility closes at 3 p.m. on weekdays and much earlier on Saturdays, so a container filled late in the week may be hauled the following Monday.

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 in Stevens Point runs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard container runs $699 to $899, both based on a five-day rental. The material you load and the county's per-ton tipping fee decide the rest. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For anything past a load or two, renting wins. Self-hauling means repeated runs out to Plover inside a narrow weekday window, a weighed charge each visit, fuel, and a tarp over every load. One container absorbs the whole job and gets hauled once.
Yes, with space to spare. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than dense, so you run out of room before you hit the weight cap.
Wisconsin bans electronics, appliances, lead acid batteries, used oil and filters, tires, and yard waste from landfills statewide, so those stay out. So do hazardous waste, liquids, solvents, fuel, wet paint, and asbestos. The county facility also refuses medical waste, fire extinguishers, and radioactive items such as smoke alarms.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. The load still decides your total, though. Dense debris like concrete, brick, or roof tile can pass a small container's weight allowance quickly, so giving heavy material a load of its own is often cheaper in the end.
Three days usually costs the same as five, because the price is built around the job rather than counted by the day. Weight drives the invoice more than time does. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what an extra ton costs, then load to that number.
Nearly all building and household debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, doors, furniture, and general cleanout junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted as well, and keeping them separate often lowers the disposal cost. Run anything unusual past your account manager first.
