At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across The Colony, Texas, and the surrounding Denton County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Lakeside homes out on Stewart Peninsula, a steady run of kitchen and bath remodeling off Main Street, and construction around the Grandscape district all keep containers busy for homeowners and contractors alike.
Your quote moves with four things: the size you pick, the type of debris you load, how many days you keep the container, and the disposal fees at the landfill that takes your load. Below you will find price ranges, how city waste rules work here, what the landfill turns away, and how quickly we can get a container to your address.

| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |

Size sets your starting point. Going one step up costs less than paying for a second haul, and it beats paying overage on a container you packed past its weight limit.
Debris type matters just as much as volume. Roof shingles, tile, mortar, and broken concrete are dense, so they reach the weight allowance while the container still looks half empty. Appliances and tires are usually billed by the piece, so call them out when you book.
Distance to the scale counts too. The Colony has no landfill of its own, and Denton County runs none, so most loads travel to a city-run landfill in Denton or to a private site a few miles south in Lewisville. The operator of each site sets the fees, and a hauler cannot discount them.
City rules shape the job more here than in most Texas towns. The Colony requires every household to take city garbage service, and city crews will not pick up concrete, dirt, gravel, or debris left over from construction, remodeling, or landscape work. That makes a container the practical answer for a remodel. The city also reserves construction and demolition containers to the hauler it has under contract, so ask your account manager to confirm how that rule applies to your address before you book.

Match the container to the volume and the weight of what you are throwing out. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest option and the one to choose for dense material. A single bathroom gut, a shed teardown, or a load of broken patio concrete all fit inside its weight allowance.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits the jobs that outgrow the smallest size without needing much more room. Think of a packed two-car garage, a laundry room redo, or old carpet and tile pulled from a few rooms.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is our most requested size in The Colony. It handles a full house cleanout, a kitchen and den renovation together, or a standard reroof on a two-story home.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for larger work: a second-story addition, a whole-house remodel, or framing and siding waste from new construction.
The 40-Yard Dumpster holds the most volume we offer. Commercial tenant finish-outs, large demolition jobs, and warehouse cleanouts are where it earns its keep.
Still weighing two sizes? Walk your account manager through the job and they will point you to the one that fits.
On private property, such as your own driveway or a fenced job site, The Colony does not require a dumpster permit. Keep the container clear of the sidewalk, the alley pavement, and any water or gas meter, and you are fine.
The street and the alley are a different story. The city's waste rules make it an offense to place waste in any street or alley at any time, and The Colony publishes no permit that would let a container sit there instead. The right-of-way permits the city does issue cover utility work such as pavement cuts and excavation, not containers. In practice, plan on a spot on the property.
One more step catches people out. Every contractor working in The Colony has to be registered with the city first, and a homeowner acting as their own general contractor has to register as well. The city explains both forms on its contractor registration page, and there is no fee for the homeowner version.
For placement questions, call The Colony Public Works and Utilities Department at 972-624-3129, or see its department listing. Building Inspections, which handles contractor registration and the adopted codes, answers at 972-624-3100. If you are unsure which office you need, your account manager will find the right contact for you.
The container itself is the bigger question here. City rules say any roll-off, front-load, or other container used to collect, hold, or move construction and demolition waste in The Colony has to be one owned and operated by the city's franchise holder, and that wording was tightened in July 2025. Every property in the city is also required to use and pay for garbage service provided by the city or its designee. Your Prime Dumpster account manager checks how that applies to your job before anything is scheduled.
Before you book, confirm with the city that a container can be placed for your job at your address. Rules differ from city to city and they change. Your Prime Dumpster account manager will help you check, and will tell you plainly what your options are here.
Most household and construction debris is welcome. Brush, construction waste, demolition waste, and general junk are all accepted at every class of landfill in Texas, which is why a mixed remodel load is straightforward here.
The state draws hard lines in three places. Used oil and used oil filters cannot go to a landfill. Neither can lead-acid batteries, the kind in a car or a riding mower. Regulated hazardous waste is barred as well. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality sets all three out in its own guidance on what landfills may accept, and it adds that any landfill may refuse a material its permit allows.
The city-run landfill in Denton does exactly that. It turns away all liquids, including paint, plus batteries, tires, and anything hazardous, biohazardous, or radioactive. Asbestos needs a specially permitted landfill and cannot ride in a standard container.
Solvents, fuel, propane tanks, and wet paint stay out as well. Dry out a half-used can or take it to a household chemical collection instead. If an item has you guessing, ask your account manager before it goes in the container.
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.
City crews in The Colony collect household garbage and bulky items, but they will not take concrete, sand, gravel, dirt, or construction debris at the curb, and nothing heavier than 30 pounds may go in a bag. Everything a remodel produces has to leave on a truck.
Most of what we haul from The Colony goes to the Denton Municipal Landfill at 1527 S. Mayhill Rd., Denton, TX 76208, roughly 20 miles northwest. The City of Denton runs it, and it is open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., with Sundays closed. A private landfill on Huffines Boulevard in Lewisville sits closer, about five miles south, and some loads route there instead.
Two charges at the Denton site are worth knowing, because both land on the hauler and both are avoidable. Every load has to be tarped or tied down; an unsecured one draws a $25 charge the first time and $30 after that. A truck that leaves the scale after closing time pays $120 on top of disposal. The weigh station takes cards only, and it holds shortened holiday hours several times a year.
Disposal is billed by weight, and the facility sets the rate, not us. Your account manager will tell you which site your load is headed to and what the tipping fees look like before your delivery date.
1527 S. Mayhill Rd., Denton, TX 76208
Open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Sundays, with shortened holiday hours.
We can usually have a container at your address in one to two business days, with the truck arriving inside a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking two or three days out gives you the best choice of drop times and the best price.
A few things make delivery go smoothly:
Weekend timing is worth a thought as well. The Denton landfill closes on Sundays and shuts early on several holidays, so a container packed late on a Saturday may wait until Monday for its haul.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster delivers throughout The Colony, from the lakefront streets around Stewart Peninsula, Hidden Cove, and the Shoreline Trail to the newer blocks off North Colony Boulevard, Paige Road, and Memorial Drive, and out to the commercial sites near Grandscape. We work around your crew's schedule for delivery, swaps, and pickup.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, sort out where the load is going, and quote you on the spot.
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 The Colony runs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both on a five-day rental. What you load and the fees at the receiving landfill move the final number. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate per ton when you book.
A container usually wins once a job passes two loads. Self-hauling means paying at the scale every trip, plus fuel out to Denton and back, plus your own hours. One container handles the whole job and leaves on a single truck, with the disposal already folded into the quote.
Yes, comfortably. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of cartons. Bulky furniture fills the space long before it comes near the weight allowance, so volume is your real limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, wet paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, used oil and oil filters, lead-acid batteries, and asbestos. The landfill serving The Colony also refuses tires and any liquid. Appliances and electronics need separate handling, so mention them to your account manager instead of loading them.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. Keep in mind that heavy debris changes the math. A 10-yard filled with tile or concrete can pass its weight allowance and pick up overage charges, so splitting dense material into its own load is often the cheaper route.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as five days, because we price the job rather than the calendar. Weight drives your bill far more than length of stay. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before the container is delivered.
Wood, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, cardboard, and ordinary cleanout debris are all fine in The Colony. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted too, and keeping them in a separate load often costs less at the scale. When an item is borderline, check with your account manager first.
