At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Westerville, Ohio, and the surrounding Franklin and Delaware County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Basement finishes and kitchen remodels in Spring Grove and Annehurst, storefront turnovers in Uptown, and construction along the Schrock Road and Cleveland Avenue corridors keep containers moving for homeowners and contractors here.
Your price turns on container size, the weight and type of debris, how many days you keep it, and the per-ton fees at the county landfill. Below you'll find price ranges, the City's permit rules for dumpsters, and a clear list of what the landfill won't take.

Four things shape a Westerville quote, and the container you order is the starting point.
Size leads the price. Going one size up costs less than paying for a second haul, and a finished-basement teardown usually makes more debris than people picture.
Weight is where the real money sits. Shingles, tile, and broken concrete fill a weight allowance fast. The county landfill charges $39.75 per ton for in-district loads, so the ticket is driven by what the scale reads, not by how full the container looks.
Where the load goes counts too. Loads from Westerville cross the scale at the county landfill in Grove City or the county transfer station on Morse Road, and the public authority that owns both sets the rates there.
City rules can change your schedule and your size. Westerville asks for a permit for a dumpster even on private property, and it caps how long a residential container may stay. Your account manager will walk you through that before anything is scheduled.

Choose by how much debris you expect, then sanity-check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest container we offer. It handles one bathroom, a deck teardown, or a patio demo. It's also the right call for concrete, brick, and tile, which reach the weight limit while the container still looks half empty.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers mid-size jobs: a packed garage, a kitchen strip-out, or carpet and pad pulled from several rooms.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Westerville households pick. It takes a full-house cleanout or a remodel across a few rooms, and it still fits a standard driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits additions, roof replacements, and longer builds that keep producing mixed debris. Contractors in the newer sections usually start here.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size. It's built for commercial demolition, office and retail turnovers, and high-volume jobs with light, bulky waste.
If you're torn between two sizes, describe the work to your account manager and they'll steer you to the cheaper one.
Westerville is stricter than most cities on this, so read it before you book. Even on private property, like your own driveway, the City treats a dumpster as a temporary use and asks for a zoning certificate through its online permit system, the same application that covers portable storage units, sheds, and patios.
The residential conditions are firm, and they come straight from the City's own current application guide. The container may not stay more than 14 days. It has to sit on a paved surface, not on grass or gravel. You may only do it twice in any 12-month period. It cannot be dropped more than three days before work starts. The one relief is that a dumpster may stay in place for as long as an active building project is running, which is how larger remodels are handled.
If the container has to go in the street or the right-of-way, that's a separate permit, filed under Engineering review in the same system. The City publishes no fee for either one.
Start with the Planning and Development Department at 21 S. State Street and call 614-901-6650 to reach the Building, Planning, or Engineering Divisions. Engineering has its own line at 614-901-6845, open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you're not sure which permit your job needs, your account manager can help you get to the right desk before delivery day.
Most household and construction debris loads without a problem. The limits come from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's rules for the landfill and from that site's own refusal list.
The county landfill turns away hazardous waste, asbestos, liquid waste including motor oil and wet paint, lead-acid batteries, whole or shredded tires, televisions and computers and other electronics, radioactive material, explosives, gas cylinders unless they're empty and delivered separately, appliances that still hold Freon, vehicles and major vehicle parts, infectious waste, and yard waste. Water-based paint has to be dried out solid before it can go in.
Drums, barrels, and buckets are only accepted with the lids off and the insides cleaned out, so plan on that for a shop or garage cleanout.
Yard waste needs its own route. The City collects grass, leaves, and branches up to two inches thick separately at the curb, and the landfill won't take it mixed in with construction debris.
If any item on your list looks borderline, 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.
Most loads from Westerville go to the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill at 3851 London Groveport Road, Grove City, OH 43123, run by the public solid waste authority for central Ohio. It's open Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 6 a.m. to noon, and you can reach it at 614-875-8563. It takes general solid waste and handles roughly 5,000 tons a day under Ohio Environmental Protection Agency oversight.
Closer to home, the same authority runs the Morse Road Transfer Station at 4262 Morse Road, Columbus, OH 43230, open Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m. and closed weekends. Tipping there runs $52.75 per ton with a $5 minimum charge. Residents can't use it, and only haulers holding a credit agreement with the authority may tip there, so it isn't a self-haul option.
Both sites require every load to be fully tarped on the way in, and the landfill charges extra for an untarped load. Your account manager confirms which site your container is going to and explains the weight charges before delivery.
3851 London Groveport Road, Grove City, OH 43123
Open Monday through Friday, 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 6 a.m. to noon.
4262 Morse Road, Columbus, OH 43230
Open Monday through Friday, 5 a.m. to 3 p.m.; haulers only, not open to residents.
Most Westerville orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving inside a 24 to 48 hour window. Leave extra room in the schedule here, because the City asks for a permit before the container lands and says it aims to answer a complete application within five to seven business days.
Five things make delivery day go smoothly:
Watch the clock on both ends. The landfill closes at 5 p.m. on weekdays and at noon on Saturday, and the City allows commercial collection only between 7 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., so early morning and late evening pickups are off the table.

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.
Dumpster rentals in Westerville start at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and reach $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. Debris weight and the per-ton rate at the county landfill move the final figure. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates at booking.
Renting usually wins. The landfill bills by the ton and requires every load to be tarped, and the nearer transfer station is closed to residents entirely. Add fuel, a truck, and your own hours on each trip and a single container beats self-hauling past two or three loads.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving plenty of space for a mattress, a dresser, and packed cartons. With furniture and similar bulky goods you run out of room long before you reach the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, wet paint, motor oil, asbestos, lead-acid batteries, tires, and electronics such as televisions and computers. The county landfill refuses all of those, along with yard waste and appliances that still contain Freon. Mention tires and appliances when you book so they can be routed separately.
The 10-yard container carries the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. Weight still decides the real cost. A small container loaded with concrete or tile can pass its limit and pick up overage charges, so keeping dense material in its own load is often the better saving.
A three-day rental normally costs the same as five days, because containers are quoted by the job rather than by the day. What you load matters far more than the calendar. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before delivery.
Most home and construction debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted too, and they often cost less in their own load. Check anything unusual with your account manager before you load it.
