At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Wheeling, West Virginia, and the surrounding Ohio County area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Restoration work in the city's older brick housing stock, commercial fit-outs downtown, and steady construction out along the National Road corridor keep roll-off containers busy for owners and contractors here.
What you pay turns on the container size, the weight and type of debris, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the receiving facility. Below you will find our price ranges, what Wheeling expects before a container goes on a public street, and what you can and cannot load.

A Wheeling quote comes together from four things, and none of them is a mystery once you see them laid out.
Container size is the first. Order a size too small and you pay twice, once in overage and again for a second haul. Order one size up and you usually spend less overall.
Debris weight is the second. Wheeling's older houses give up a lot of plaster, brick, slate, and dimensional lumber, and all of it is heavy. A 10-yard container filled with masonry can reach its weight allowance while it still looks half full.
Disposal is the third. Loads go to a permitted facility in Ohio County, and the facility sets the charge, not the hauler. Mixed loads cost more to handle than a single clean material.
Access is the fourth. Wheeling's hillside streets, alleys, and tight downtown blocks all shape where a truck can set a container down. Tell your account manager about the approach and the grade when you book.

Start with volume, then sanity check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest and the easiest to fit in an alley or a short driveway. It handles a bathroom gut, a small porch teardown, or a basement cleanout, and it is the right call for brick, block, and concrete.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a mid-size job such as a kitchen remodel, old carpet and underlay, or a single-slope roof. It adds room without adding much footprint.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual pick for a whole-house cleanout or a multi-room remodel in one of the older homes around town. Most mixed debris from that kind of work fits in one load.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits larger renovations, new builds, and jobs where several trades are working at once. It keeps the work moving instead of waiting on a container swap.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It is built for commercial strip-outs, demolition, and high-volume light waste. Keep dense material out of it, or you will hit the weight limit long before the top.
If you are torn between two sizes, describe the job to your account manager and let them size it for you.
On private property, such as your own driveway, a parking area, or a fenced job site, Wheeling does not require a permit for a container.
A public street, sidewalk, or alley is another matter. Wheeling's ordinances treat private commercial use of the public way as a special privilege that the City regulates, and the City publishes a Temporary Closure of a Right of Way application for exactly that kind of short-term use. Apply before the delivery date, not after the truck arrives. The City does not publish the fee or the time limit online, so call rather than assume.
There is a second rule that matters more here than the parking question. A company that collects solid waste for pay in West Virginia needs a certificate from the state Public Service Commission, and Wheeling's own ordinances say in plain terms that a hauler has to hold one. That is a state permit, not a city franchise, and it is applied for in public. Our account team tracks it so you do not have to.
The City's curbside service is a separate thing again, and it will not help with a project. Wheeling's Sanitation Division collects household trash only, and its published policy says building materials, including carpet, wood, paint, drywall, shingles, plaster, and concrete, will not be picked up.
For street questions, call Wheeling Public Works at 304-234-3731. For curbside questions, the Sanitation Division is on 304-234-3707. Your account manager can make the call with you and will tell you what the office says.
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.
West Virginia does not publish a statewide banned-materials table for ordinary building debris, so the limits come from state disposal law and from the receiving facility.
State law makes open dumping illegal and makes it unlawful to dispose of solid waste in a way that endangers the environment or public health. That is the reason every load has to land at a permitted site, and it is why the paperwork matters. You can read the rule on the West Virginia Legislature's code site. The same section carries a point in your favor: a commercial facility may not turn waste away based on where it came from.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos stay out of a standard container. So do tires and batteries. The City points residents with those items to the Ohio County Solid Waste Authority on 304-234-3884.
Yard waste is handled separately around here. The county's recycling center takes trimmings, trees, shrubs, and leaves, but only when they are free of trash, treated lumber, and other contaminants, so keep green waste in its own load.
Not sure where an item belongs? 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 mixed construction and cleanout loads from Wheeling go to the permitted landfill in Ohio County. The West Virginia Solid Waste Management Board lists every operating landfill in the state, with its permit number and county, on its facilities page. That site is privately run, so the charge at the gate is set there rather than by us, and your account manager will confirm the destination and the disposal cost before delivery.
Separated material has a public option. The Ohio County Solid Waste Authority runs The Highlands Recycling Center at 176 Satterfield Drive, Triadelphia, WV 26059, about 12 miles east of downtown. It is open Tuesdays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon. Details are on the Authority's own site.
If your project will produce a lot of one clean material, say so when you book. Keeping it separate often costs less than burying it with everything else.
176 Satterfield Drive, Triadelphia, WV 26059
Open Tuesdays 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., Thursdays 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays 8 a.m. to noon.
Most rentals in Wheeling can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A couple of days of notice gives you time to sort a street permit and clear the drop spot, and it usually gets you a better price.
Five things that keep a delivery simple:
Keep facility hours in mind at the end of a job. The county recycling center is open only three days a week, so a separated load finished on a Sunday will wait.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will pick the right size, confirm where the load is going, and give you a firm number while we have you on the phone.
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 runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. The final figure also reflects the weight of the load and the disposal charge at the receiving facility. Your account manager will confirm your included tonnage and the overage rate before delivery.
Renting is cheaper for most projects. Hauling it yourself means paying at the gate on every trip, plus fuel, a truck you may not own, and whole days of your time. Past two or three loads, one container nearly always costs less and finishes in a single pickup.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. Bulky furniture fills the space long before it reaches the weight limit, so a small container often handles a surprising amount of it.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos. Tires and batteries have to go somewhere else as well, and the Ohio County Solid Waste Authority can advise on those. Mention anything unusual to your account manager before it goes in the container.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. What you load still decides the bill. Brick, plaster, and concrete from an older Wheeling house are dense, and a small container packed with them can pass its weight allowance, so keeping masonry in its own load usually saves money.
Three days usually costs the same as five, because a rental is priced around the job rather than the calendar. Weight moves the total far more than the number of days. Ask your account manager how much tonnage is included and what an extra ton costs before the container is delivered.
Everyday construction and cleanout debris is fine, including lumber, drywall, plaster, roofing, flooring, carpet, cabinets, fixtures, furniture, and cardboard. Clean brick, block, and concrete are accepted too, and they often cost less when kept separate. If you are unsure about an item, check with your account manager first.
