At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Tukwila, Washington, and the nearby King County cities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Retail and warehouse turnovers around Southcenter, apartment and duplex refits along Interurban Avenue, and construction on the valley floor all keep containers busy, alongside ordinary household cleanouts.
Your price follows the size you book, the weight and mix of your debris, how long the container stays, and the charges at the facility that receives the load. Below you'll find the ranges, the city rules for a container in the street, what King County facilities refuse, and how soon delivery can be arranged.

Four things move a Tukwila quote, and sorting is a bigger factor here than in most places.
Size sets the base. Each step up costs a bit more, and it still beats paying for a second pull when the first container runs out of room halfway through the job.
Weight is the second lever. Roofing, concrete, and wet drywall are heavy, so a dense load can reach the weight limit while the container still looks half empty.
Sorting is the local twist. King County facilities will not take clean wood, cardboard, scrap metal, or yard waste in the garbage at all, and construction debris has rules of its own. Keeping a clean wood or concrete load separate usually costs less than mixing everything into one container.
Street placement adds a step. A container in a Tukwila street or sidewalk needs a city permit with a traffic control plan behind it, and that approval takes a few days to line up. Tell your account manager early if a driveway spot isn't possible.

Start from the volume you expect, then check the weight. We carry five sizes between 10 and 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest. It handles a bathroom, a single room, or a load of concrete and brick, where you hit the weight limit well before the walls fill.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a packed garage, a flooring tear-out, or a small roof. It gives you noticeably more room for a modest step in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most Tukwila households choose. It takes a whole-home cleanout or a remodel across several rooms, and it fits a normal driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits additions, apartment turnovers, and demolition, where mixed debris adds up fast.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest we offer. Retail fit-outs, warehouse clearing, and commercial construction around Southcenter are its usual jobs.
If two sizes look close, walk the job through with your account manager and they'll choose one.
A container on private property, like your own driveway or a fenced site, generally needs no permit in Tukwila, though the City does expect it to be temporary rather than parked indefinitely. Placing one in the street or on a sidewalk is a different matter.
Tukwila publishes guidance for containers in the right of way that turns on whether the container counts as a vehicle. A container that isn't a vehicle can't go in the right of way without a Special Event Permit first, and anything left there more than 72 hours needs that permit even if it is a vehicle.
The City also keeps its Right-of-Way Use Permit for construction projects that affect the right of way, with drawings, a pre-construction meeting, and inspections attached. Special Event Permits cover other temporary uses, and they need a completed application, a traffic control plan prepared by a professional, a site map showing the container and nearby driveways, and the property owner's authorization where it applies. Police, Public Works, and Fire all review the request.
So the answer depends on your project and your spot, and it is worth one phone call before you book. Reach the Tukwila Permit Center at 206-431-3670, or visit 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite 100. Your account manager can help you describe the placement so the City can tell you which permit applies.
Framing, drywall, cabinets, flooring, roofing, furniture, and general junk are all normal container loads. The limits come from King County's rules for its own facilities, and they are more detailed than most.
Televisions, computers, monitors, laptops, cell phones, and tablets are not accepted for disposal at county facilities at all. Major appliances can't be buried either, though Bow Lake does recycle them. Ammunition is refused outright.
Several items are limited rather than banned. Tires aren't taken from businesses, and residents are capped at four passenger car tires per vehicle. More than six mattresses or box springs in a day needs county approval first. Liquids have to be sealed and stay under five gallons a visit. Asbestos needs approval before it travels anywhere.
Clean wood, corrugated cardboard, scrap metal, and yard waste must be sorted out and recycled rather than tipped as garbage, and clean wood longer than eight feet is turned away.
Hazardous waste, paint, solvents, and fuel never belong in a standard container. If an item on your job looks borderline, ask your account manager before it goes in.
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.
Tukwila has King County's busiest transfer station inside the city limits. The Bow Lake Recycling & Transfer Station sits at 18800 Orillia Road S, Tukwila, WA 98188, and takes questions on 206-477-4466. The county's station page lists the station as open around the clock Monday through Thursday, until 11:30 p.m. on Friday, and 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, with shorter Sunday hours and the recycling area on a separate schedule. It's closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.
Garbage that arrives there is consolidated and trucked to the county's Cedar Hills Regional Landfill, about 17 miles away in Maple Valley. Fees at Bow Lake go by material type and weight, and the county charges extra for a load that arrives unsecured.
Construction debris usually takes a different path. King County restricts construction and demolition material at its own stations, including loads brought in by dump beds and dump trailers, so a remodel or demolition load is normally weighed in at a private construction and demolition facility in the Kent valley instead.
The City of Tukwila also runs its household garbage and recycling collection through a contracted hauler, so curbside carts and a rented container are separate arrangements. Your account manager confirms which facility will receive your load, and checks how the City's collection contract applies to your address, before the container is delivered.
18800 Orillia Road S, Tukwila, WA 98188
King County station; open around the clock Monday through Thursday, with shorter weekend hours.
Most Tukwila rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A street placement takes longer, since the City needs a permit application and a traffic control plan in hand first.
Five habits that make delivery day easy:
Traffic is worth planning around here. The valley fills up around Southcenter and the Interstate 5 and Interstate 405 interchange, so a morning or midday delivery window usually runs more smoothly than a late afternoon one.

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 Tukwila runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both on a five-day rental. Debris type matters a lot here, because county facilities refuse some material and construction loads go to a private site. Your account manager confirms your tonnage and overage rate at booking.
Renting usually wins. Self-hauling means paying by weight on every trip to Bow Lake, sorting wood, cardboard, and metal yourself at the station, and risking the county's fee for an unsecured load. A container handles the whole job in one delivery and one pickup.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for chairs, a mattress, and boxes. Household furniture runs out of space long before it runs out of weight allowance in that size.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out. King County also refuses televisions, computers, and appliances for disposal, limits tires and mattresses, and requires clean wood, cardboard, metal, and yard waste to be recycled. Declare those at booking so we can route them.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. What you put in it matters more than the base price. Concrete, tile, or soaked soil can use up the weight allowance in a half-filled container, so dense debris is usually cheaper in a load of its own.
Three days normally costs the same as the standard five-day rental, because we price the job rather than the calendar. The weight going in is what really moves your bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage your rate covers and what an extra ton costs before delivery day.
Most home and construction debris is fine in Tukwila: lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture, and household junk. Clean concrete and brick are accepted too, often at a better rate on their own. Check anything unusual with your account manager before you load it.
