At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Mount Vernon, New York, and the neighboring southern Westchester County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older multi-family homes getting updated, apartment and storefront cleanouts, and steady construction along busy city blocks keep containers in demand for homeowners, landlords, and contractors.
What you pay depends on the container size, the kind of debris, how long the dumpster stays, and the disposal fees where your load goes. Below, you'll find price ranges, the City's dumpster permit fees, who's allowed to place a container on the street, and what New York keeps out of the trash.

In Mount Vernon, a dumpster's total cost comes from a few local pieces.
The first is size. A larger container costs more, but picking the right one helps you avoid overage charges or a second haul.
The second is weight. Plaster, tile, brick, and roofing are heavy and fill your weight allowance quickly, while furniture and cardboard mostly take up space.
The third is street placement, which is common on Mount Vernon's tight lots. The City's dumpster permit requirements set the fee by container size: $75.00 for 10 yards, $110.00 for 20 yards, $150.00 for 30 yards, and $200.00 for 40 yards. If the spot has a parking meter, the Parking Authority adds a meter bag at $30 per day.
Paying by card at City Hall adds a 3.5% fee, while cash, a certified check, or a money order doesn't. Your account manager can walk you through which charges apply to your address.

The right size depends on how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, a single apartment cleanout, or a load of old plaster and brick. Heavy debris belongs here, since it reaches the weight limit before the container fills up.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a basement or garage cleanout, flooring from a few rooms, or a small roof tear-off. The City's permit chart lists 10, 20, 30, and 40 yards, so ask how a 15-yard container is handled if it will sit on the street.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common pick in Mount Vernon for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that span several rooms or units.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits gut renovations, additions, new construction, and demolition with mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, made for commercial construction, building cleanouts, and large demolition jobs.
Not sure which fits? Tell your account manager about the project, and they'll help you choose.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or a private lot, you don't need a City permit in Mount Vernon. The permit rule covers public streets, highways, and sidewalks, not your own ground.
Once any part of the container sits in the street or on the sidewalk, you need a dumpster permit. The City's permits page says no one may block or occupy a public street, highway, or sidewalk without a written permit from the Commissioner of Public Works.
The carting company must be licensed with the City of Mount Vernon before a permit can be issued. The City says only companies with a carting license may haul trash in Mount Vernon, and those licensed companies are the ones used to secure dumpster permits. Licenses run on a yearly cycle that ends May 31.
The City doesn't publish a review time. For questions, call the City of Mount Vernon Department of Public Works at 914-665-2343. The office is in City Hall, One Roosevelt Square, Room 108. Your account manager will confirm the permit and licensing details before your delivery date.
Most renovation and cleanout debris can go in your dumpster. New York State's rules set the main limits.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation says that since January 1, 2015, certain electronics can't be thrown away in landfills, waste-to-energy plants, or the trash. That covers computers, laptops, tablets, monitors, printers, game consoles, DVD players, and TVs larger than 4 inches.
The same agency bans burying waste tires in landfills, so tires need to go to a tire recycler.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. Propane tanks and other pressurized cylinders stay out as well.
For appliances, the City's Bureau of Sanitation runs metal pickups by appointment from April through September. Refrigerators must have the Freon removed first. Call 914-665-2465 to schedule.
If you're unsure about an item, 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.
Mount Vernon's household trash doesn't stay in the city for long. Westchester County's Department of Environmental Facilities runs the South Columbus Avenue Transfer Station in Mount Vernon, which takes waste from Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, the Pelhams, and the Mamaroneck area. From there, trash is compacted into large trailers and sent to the county's Charles Point Resource Recovery Facility in Peekskill, which turns waste into energy.
Construction and demolition debris often follows a different route. Heavy remodeling loads usually go to a permitted transfer station that handles building debris, and several operate in nearby Westchester communities.
The contents of your container decide its destination and the fees. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain the disposal costs before delivery.
Most dumpster rentals in Mount Vernon can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. For a street placement, the permit needs to be in place first, so build in a little extra time.
A few tips for an easy delivery:
The permit usually sets the pace here. The City doesn't publish a review time for dumpster permits, so a street placement should be started as early as you can.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves homes, apartment buildings, and job sites throughout Mount Vernon and nearby Westchester communities, including New Rochelle, Yonkers, the Pelhams, Mamaroneck, Port Chester, and Ossining.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll match the container to the job, sort out the street permit questions, 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.
Dumpster rentals in Mount Vernon range 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 any City street permit add to the total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For a carload or two, hauling it yourself might cost less. For anything bigger, a dumpster usually wins. Building debris usually goes to a transfer station in a neighboring community, and every trip means fees, fuel, and time in traffic. A dumpster lets you load everything once and send it off in one haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving plenty of room for a bed frame, a mattress, chairs, and boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll usually fill the space long before you get close to the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, and asbestos out of your Mount Vernon dumpster. New York also bans computers, TVs, monitors, printers, and waste tires from the trash and landfills. Tell your account manager about any appliances before loading.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499, and the City's street permit is lowest for that size too. Heavy material like tile or plaster can still push a small container past its weight allowance. Keeping dense debris in its own load helps you save.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, since we price by the job rather than by the day. Weight changes the bill more than the rental length. If the container sits at a meter, the daily meter bag fee also applies.
Most construction and household debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, plaster, flooring, carpet, cabinets, fixtures, furniture, and general junk. Brick and concrete are fine too, ideally in their own load. Your account manager can confirm any item before you load it.
