At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Hartford, Connecticut, and the surrounding Hartford County towns in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older multi-family homes getting new kitchens and baths, plaster and lath tear-outs, property turnovers, and steady construction and renovation work across the capital keep roll-off containers in demand for owners and contractors.
Your price depends on the size you choose, the type of debris, the rental length, and the disposal fees where your load is taken. Below, we cover price ranges, the City's street permit, where Hartford's waste goes, and the long list of items Connecticut keeps out of the trash.

These are the main things that move a Hartford dumpster price.
Size is first. Bigger containers cost more, but picking one that's too small usually means overage fees or a second haul.
Weight is second, and it matters a lot in older Hartford homes. Plaster, lath, brick, and slate are dense, so they eat into your weight allowance quickly. Tell us about heavy material before we quote.
Where the load goes counts too. The City's own drop-off center won't take construction debris, so a remodel's waste has to go to a private facility that charges by weight.
Street placement can add a small fee. If the container has to sit on a City street or sidewalk, the Department of Public Works lists an Obstruction Permit at $50, plus $0.03 per square foot for each day. Many Hartford lots are tight, so plan for this early.

Think about both the volume and the weight of your debris. Prime Dumpster offers five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right fit for a single bathroom, one room of plaster, or a small apartment cleanout. It's also the go-to size for brick or concrete, since heavy loads reach the weight limit before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a basement or garage cleanout, a flooring project, or a roof on a smaller house.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Hartford for gutting a whole unit in a two-family or three-family home.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for full-building renovations, additions, and new construction with lots of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size. It's meant for commercial projects, large demolition, and major cleanouts.
Give your account manager a quick rundown of the job, and they'll help you pick a size.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like a driveway or a paved lot, the City generally doesn't require a permit. You'll need one if the container would sit in a street, on a sidewalk, or anywhere else in the public right-of-way.
Hartford's Department of Public Works issues an Obstruction Permit for that kind of placement. Its permit manual lists the fee at $50, plus $0.03 per day for each square foot you occupy. The schedule dates from 2014, and the City can raise it each year based on inflation, so confirm the current amount.
Applications are filed in writing with the Maps and Records Division at 50 Jennings Road. The City's permit office is open weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Call Maps and Records at 860-757-9970. A permit stays valid for 30 days, and work must start within five days of issue, so time your application close to delivery.
Your account manager can help you reach the right City contact for your street.
Most renovation and cleanout debris can go in your container. The limits come from Connecticut's disposal bans and from what the receiving facility will accept.
Connecticut bans several everyday items from the trash. Grass clippings can't be thrown away, and leaves must be composted. TVs, computer monitors, printers, and computers are covered electronic devices that must be recycled. Lead-acid and vehicle batteries are banned as well.
Tires are handled as special waste in Connecticut, and the state no longer allows them in landfills, whole or in pieces. Mattress recycling runs through a program that not every town joins, so mention mattresses when you book.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, waste oil, propane tanks, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. Connecticut has a paint take-back program for leftover paint.
If you're unsure about something, ask your account manager before loading it.
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.
Hartford's trash no longer goes to a waste-to-energy plant in the city. That plant closed in July 2022, and the City now sends its municipal trash to a private recycling and transfer facility on Murphy Road in Hartford under a contract that runs to mid-2027.
For residents, the City runs the Hartford Bulky Waste and Transfer Station at 180 Leibert Road, open Tuesday through Saturday and closed on holidays and snow days. It takes bulky items, recycling, scrap metal, and electronics with a City pass. The City's transfer station sheet lists what it refuses: household trash, roof shingles, sheetrock, brick, cement, concrete, asbestos, and rented box trucks.
That means construction debris from a Hartford project has to go to a private facility. Your account manager will confirm where your container is headed and explain any disposal fees before delivery.
Most rentals in Hartford can be booked within one to two business days, with delivery in a 24 to 48 hour window. If the container needs a street permit, give yourself a few extra days to file with Public Works first.
Use these tips to keep delivery simple:
Keep in mind that the City's drop-off center is closed on Sundays and Mondays, so plan any self-hauled recycling around its Tuesday to Saturday schedule.

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 Hartford, dumpster rentals range from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, for a five-day rental. The weight and type of debris, plus any street permit, can change the final total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rate.
For a remodel, a dumpster is usually the only practical choice. The City's drop-off center refuses shingles, sheetrock, brick, and concrete, and contractors pay a pass fee plus a charge on every truckload. A rented container takes the whole job in one haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses about one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so you'll have room left for a bed frame, a dresser, and a pile of boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll usually fill the space before the weight becomes an issue.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, and asbestos out of your Hartford dumpster. Connecticut also bans TVs, computers, lead-acid batteries, grass clippings, and tires from the trash. Tell your account manager about mattresses or appliances when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster is our lowest-priced option, at $399 to $499. Weight still decides the final bill, so a small container full of plaster or brick can run over its allowance. Keeping heavy debris separate and placing the container on private property both help you save.
Usually about the same as a five-day rental. We price by the job, not by the day, so ending early doesn't lower the cost much. The weight of your load matters more. Ask your account manager about the included tonnage and the rate for extra days.
Most construction and household debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, plaster, carpet, cabinets, roofing, furniture, and general junk. Scrap metal can go in too, though Hartford residents can recycle it at the City's drop-off center. Your account manager can confirm anything you're unsure about.
