At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Anchorage, Alaska, and the rest of the Municipality in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. A short building season packs remodels, roof replacements, garage and cabin cleanouts, and new construction into the summer months, which keeps containers in steady demand with homeowners and contractors.
Your price depends on the container size, the type of debris, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the municipal landfill or transfer station. Below, you'll find price ranges, local disposal rates, street permit contacts, and how trash collection rules work in Anchorage.

Here's what shapes the cost of a dumpster in Anchorage.
Size is the starting point. A bigger container costs more, but one that's too small can mean paying for a second haul.
Weight counts because the Municipality charges commercial loads by the ton. Its 2026 disposal rates list $89.36 per ton at the Anchorage Regional Landfill and $104.25 per ton at the Central Transfer Station, plus small surcharges. The same load costs less to dispose of at the landfill in Eagle River than at the midtown transfer station.
Certain items add a charge on their own. Refrigerators and freezers carry a refrigerant removal fee and a disposal fee, and they must arrive empty with the doors off. Let us know about them when you book.
Anchorage's trash rules can also affect the job. In much of the city, collection runs through the Municipality's own system, which we cover in the permit section below.

Choose a size by thinking about the amount of debris and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is right for a bathroom remodel, a small room cleanout, or yard debris after spring breakup. It's also the best pick for gravel, concrete, or dirt, since heavy loads reach the weight limit before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage or shed cleanout, a deck removal, or a small roof. It adds room without a big price jump.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a popular size in Anchorage for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that cover several rooms. Most home projects fit.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for major renovations, new homes, additions, and demolition with mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest we rent. It's built for commercial construction, large demolition, and big property cleanouts.
Tell your account manager about the project, and they'll help you choose a size.
A dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or a job site, generally doesn't need a permit in Anchorage. You'll need one if the container sits in a street, alley, sidewalk, or other municipal right-of-way.
The Municipality's code covers using a public place, including leaving materials there, and the permit comes from the Development Services Department. Its Right-of-Way Permit Section is at 4700 Elmore Road. Call 907-343-8240 to ask what your placement needs and how long review takes, since no review time is published.
Anchorage also has its own rules on who collects trash. Inside the Solid Waste Services service area, which covers the former City of Anchorage, the Municipality's code requires residents and businesses to use the municipal collection system. Outside that area, collection runs through companies certificated by the state. Before we book, your account manager will confirm how these rules apply at your address.
Most construction, roofing, and cleanout debris can go in your container. Alaska's landfill rules and the Municipality's facilities set the limits.
Alaska requires every permitted landfill to post a sign at its entrance saying that regulated hazardous waste and PCB waste can't be dumped there. That means hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, batteries, propane tanks, and asbestos stay out of a standard dumpster.
The Municipality adds its own limits. Land clearing waste, medical waste, liquid waste, hot tubs, and commercially collected refrigerators aren't accepted at the Central Transfer Station or the Girdwood Transfer Station. The Municipality also recommends taking construction and demolition debris to a local recycler for shredding.
Household hazardous waste has a separate route. Residents can drop it at the municipal facilities, and the first 40 pounds is free.
If you're unsure about an item, check with 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.
Most dumpster loads from Anchorage end up at the Anchorage Regional Landfill, 15500 E. Eagle River Loop Rd, Eagle River, AK 99577, near the Glenn Highway and Hiland Road. The Municipality's Solid Waste Services runs it. It's open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and it's closed Sunday.
Some loads go first to the Central Transfer Station in midtown, where commercial trucks use the entrance at 1050 E. 56th Ave. It's open to commercial loads Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Waste there is loaded into trailers and trucked to the landfill. The Municipality's disposal page lists both sites. Call 907-343-6250 with questions.
Your account manager will confirm which site your load goes to and explain the disposal fees before delivery.
15500 E. Eagle River Loop Rd, Eagle River, AK 99577
Open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; closed Sunday.
Most Anchorage dumpster rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with drop-off in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days ahead gives you time to sort out any street permit and confirm the collection rules for your address.
These tips help delivery go smoothly:
The landfill and transfer station are both closed on Sundays. A container filled over the weekend may wait until Monday to be emptied.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves homes and job sites across the Anchorage Bowl and the rest of the Municipality, including Eagle River, Chugiak, Eklutna, Indian, Bird Creek, and Girdwood. Wherever your project is, we plan delivery, pickup, and disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll help you size the container, check the collection and permit rules for your address, and give you a clear price.
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.
In Anchorage, dumpster rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. Debris weight and the Municipality's disposal fees also affect your total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
For bigger jobs, a dumpster usually costs less. Household loads at the municipal sites are priced per trip and limited in size, so a large cleanout can take many visits, plus fuel and time. With a dumpster, you load at your own pace, and we haul everything away at once.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a mattress, a couple of chairs, and a stack of boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll usually run out of space before hitting the weight limit.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, batteries, propane tanks, and asbestos. Alaska landfills post signs banning hazardous and PCB waste. Hot tubs and refrigerators need special handling in Anchorage, so mention them, and any land clearing debris, when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Your final cost still depends on weight, since commercial loads are charged by the ton. Gravel, concrete, or shingles can push a small container over its limit, so keep heavy material in its own load when you can.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price by the job, not the day, and the weight of your debris affects the bill more than the rental length. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and the rate for extra tons.
Most household and building debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general junk. Clean gravel and concrete can go in too, though they're heavy. Land clearing waste needs its own plan in Anchorage, so ask your account manager before loading stumps or brush.
