At Prime Dumpster, we arrange roll-off dumpster rentals in Waukee, Iowa, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Waukee is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Des Moines metro, so new home construction, basement finishes, decks and landscaping make up much of the work, alongside commercial building on the Grand Prairie Parkway and Alice's Road corridors.
In a city this new, the container question is usually about the builder's lot or a driveway on a fresh street. Waukee's own trash carts will not take construction debris or concrete, which is why a roll-off becomes part of almost every finishing job here.

Newer construction keeps many Waukee loads light and bulky. Basement framing scrap, drywall offcuts and packaging fill a container's volume before they reach its weight allowance, so the size choice matters more than tonnage on most jobs.
The exception is landscaping. Sod, rock and concrete from a Waukee patio or a new retaining wall are heavy, and they belong in a small container.
Your Waukee account manager sets out the tonnage allowance, the overage rate and the rental length as clear, upfront pricing before the container is booked.

Waukee jobs usually fall into a handful of familiar shapes, and each has a natural size.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is for concrete, pavers, rock and dirt from a Waukee yard project. Heavy material needs a short container.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a deck tear-off, a bathroom remodel or a garage cleanout.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common size for a Waukee basement finish, which produces a lot of framing and drywall waste.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a whole-house remodel, an addition or cleanup on a new home under construction.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is for commercial and multi-family construction in Waukee's growing business corridors.
New Waukee driveways are often recently poured. Ask your account manager about boards under the container to spread the load on young concrete.
On private property, a driveway or a builder's lot is where most Waukee containers go, and it is the simplest choice. Keep the container off the sidewalk and away from the curb inlet so storm water can drain.
The street is a Public Works question in Waukee. The City lists a "Right of Way or Utility Easement Permit, including Sidewalk/Approach" among the permits handled by its Public Works department, applied for online or at the Public Works building. The City's permits page routes that permit to an online portal.
What that permit covers is drawn around right-of-way and utility easement work. Whether it reaches a container set on a street is not stated on the City's page, and the portal and the City code did not open for this guide. So nothing is assumed either way. If the street is the only place for your Waukee container, your account manager checks with Public Works, 515-978-7920, before delivery.
Waukee lies wholly in Dallas County. A Waukee address does not cross into Polk County, which keeps the county question simple.
If your Waukee neighborhood has a homeowner association, check its rules on how long a container can sit in a driveway.
Lumber, drywall, shingles, siding, flooring, carpet, cabinets, fixtures, fencing and furniture are ordinary roll-off material in Waukee.
The City's own cart service is a useful guide to what needs a separate route. Its trash carts do not accept tires, appliances, yard waste, oils, paint cans other than dried latex, concrete, hazardous materials or construction debris. A roll-off takes the construction debris and the concrete. The rest still needs its own route.
So keep paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, antifreeze, tires, batteries, pressurized cylinders and asbestos out of a Waukee container. Appliances need their refrigerant removed before disposal.
Waukee holds a spring cleanup with a free drop-off day for household hazardous waste, appliances, electronics and tires. That is the right route for those items when the timing fits.
Tell your account manager what the job will produce, and any separate routes are arranged with 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.
The City of Waukee says it contracts with the Metro Park West Landfill and the Metro Northwest Transfer Station to accept waste generated in Waukee, and pays the landfill an annual per capita fee for that use. That arrangement covers the City's own collected waste.
No card is shown for either site. The regional authority's website asks automated tools not to read it, and that request is respected. So the operator, address and container rules for those sites are not set out here.
Your account manager confirms the receiving site for a Waukee container at booking, and checks that the load meets its rules before the container is collected.
Most Waukee rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with a 24 to 48 hour delivery window. Interstate 80 and Hickman Road give quick access from across the west metro.
A few things keep a Waukee delivery on track:
Spring and early summer are the busiest weeks for Waukee building work, so call ahead when you can.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges container service across Waukee, from the original town near the Raccoon River Valley Trail to the new subdivisions spreading north and south of Hickman Road.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. Let us know if the container is going on a builder's lot, a new driveway or the street, so the Waukee placement is settled before the truck is scheduled.
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.
Waukee rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day rental. Light, bulky basement waste usually stays inside the allowance. Your account manager confirms the Iowa tonnage allowance and overage rate first.
For a basement finish or remodel in Waukee, the container. City carts refuse construction debris, so the alternative is many trailer trips. One delivered container saves the time, fuel and unloading.
Yes. A couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves space for a Waukee move-out's mattress, chairs and boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so the space fills before the weight allowance.
In Waukee, keep out paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, antifreeze, tires, batteries, pressurized cylinders and asbestos. Appliances need refrigerant removed first. The City's spring cleanup drop-off day takes several of these items free.
The 10-yard container, at $399 to $499. It is the right choice for concrete, rock and sod from a Waukee landscaping project, where weight fills the allowance before space does.
Waukee containers are quoted on the five-day rate as a minimum, since delivery, pickup and disposal cost the same for a short job. Your account manager can extend the rental if an Iowa build runs over.
Construction and household debris: lumber, drywall, shingles, siding, flooring, carpet, cabinets, doors, fencing, furniture and general junk. Concrete, rock and dirt are fine too, best in a smaller container because of weight.
