At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Brownsville, Texas, and the lower Rio Grande Valley in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. New subdivisions keep spreading north and east of town, older homes near downtown get fresh roofs after storm season, and construction tied to the port and the space industry keeps crews busy. Homeowners and contractors alike count on roll-off containers to keep job sites clean.
Your price comes down to container size, debris type, how long you keep the dumpster, and the disposal fees at the City landfill. Below, you'll find price ranges, the City's rule on containers in the street, what the landfill takes, and how to plan your delivery.

Several local factors decide what a Brownsville rental costs.
Container size matters first. When one dumpster holds the whole project, you don't pay for an extra swap.
Weight matters next. The City landfill charges $32.45 per ton for loads from inside city limits and $45.43 per ton for loads from outside. Brick, concrete, and wet yard debris drive that number up fast.
Brownsville has one advantage here. The City runs its own landfill, and it sets lower fees for loads from inside city limits.
City rules count too. Construction and cleanup debris isn't part of regular City trash service, so the owner or builder pays to haul it. Your account manager will explain what that means for your job.

Look at how much debris you'll have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for a bathroom tear-out, a small shed, or a garage cleanout. It's also our pick for concrete and brick, since heavy material reaches the weight limit well before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a kitchen remodel, flooring from a few rooms, or old chain link fencing. It adds room without a large jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice for Brownsville homes. It fits a whole-house cleanout, a multi-room remodel, or a shingle roof on a single-story house.
The 30-Yard Dumpster covers large renovations, new home construction, and interior demolition. It's handy when a job produces lots of mixed, bulky debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the biggest size we offer. It's built for commercial projects, full tear-downs, and warehouse cleanouts.
Need help deciding? Describe the job to your account manager, and they'll recommend a size.
If your dumpster stays on private property, like your driveway or yard, you typically won't need a City permit in Brownsville. The street is a different story.
City code bans any obstruction on a public street or alley. The only way around that rule is a license for private use of public property, which the City Commission must approve, along with a fee. For most home projects, that means keeping the container on your own lot.
The City's Engineering and Public Works department handles questions about the right-of-way. For help, call Engineering at 956-541-1012. Your account manager can help you find a drop spot on private property or the right City contact.
Most construction and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from Texas landfill rules and from what the City landfill will accept.
The City landfill turns away hazardous waste, car and truck batteries, closed drums, explosives, hot loads, liquids, motor oil, oil filters, wet paint, and anything with PCBs. Friable asbestos needs at least 24 hours' notice and special handling.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either.
Refrigerators and air conditioners are taken, but only with written proof that the refrigerant has been removed. Tires go to the landfill's scrap tire area, so mention them when you book.
If you aren't sure about an item, check with your account manager first.
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 Brownsville go to the City of Brownsville Landfill at 9000 FM 802, Brownsville, TX 78521. The City's Engineering and Public Works Department runs it. The site covers about 275 acres and includes a compost operation and a scrap tire area.
The landfill is open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. It takes construction debris such as brick, concrete, shingles, sheetrock, carpet, windows, and framing lumber at regular fees. Small loads are billed by weight in steps, and larger ones by the ton.
The landfill charges more for loads from outside city limits. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and walk you through the fees before delivery.

City-run landfill open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.
We can often schedule Brownsville rentals 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 plan the drop spot. It can also save you money.
Tips for an easy delivery:
The City landfill closes at 3:45 p.m. and doesn't open on Sundays, so a container filled late Saturday will likely go out the next week.

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 dumpster in Brownsville runs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. Your debris type and the City landfill's per-ton fees also affect the price. Your account manager will confirm included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For small loads, a trip to the City landfill can be cheap. For a remodel or a big cleanout, a dumpster usually wins. You avoid borrowing a trailer, making repeat trips, and racing the landfill's 3:45 p.m. closing time.
Yes. A typical three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a mattress, a table, and bags of household clutter. Furniture fills the space long before it gets heavy.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, oil, oil filters, car batteries, and closed drums. Asbestos needs advance notice at the landfill. Appliances with refrigerant need written proof it's been removed. Ask your account manager about anything unusual.
Our 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Your final cost still depends on weight. Concrete, brick, and wet debris can push a small container over its limit. Keeping heavy material in a separate load often saves money.
A three-day rental usually costs about the same as five days, since we price by the job. The landfill charges by weight, so the load matters more than the calendar. Ask your account manager how much weight is included and what extra tons cost.
Most household and construction debris is allowed in Brownsville. That includes lumber, drywall, shingles, carpet, doors, windows, furniture, and yard waste. Concrete and brick are accepted too. If you're unsure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in.
