At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Hickory, North Carolina, and nearby Catawba County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older commercial buildings getting cleared out, older homes in neighborhoods like Kenworth and Oakwood getting remodeled, and new construction around the I-40 corridor keep roll-off containers in demand.
What you'll pay depends on container size, the type of debris, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the county landfill. Below, you'll find price ranges, the City's street rules, North Carolina's landfill bans, and where your load ends up.

Here's what changes the cost of a Hickory rental.
Size is the first piece. A container that fits the whole job in one load saves you from paying for a second trip.
Weight is next. Shingles, brick, concrete, and plaster are heavy, and the county landfill charges by the ton. Catawba County lists its municipal solid waste rate at $40.28 per ton, which includes the state tax.
The drive also plays a part. The county landfill sits near Newton, about 11 miles southeast of Hickory, so most loads have a short haul.
Then there's what's in the load. North Carolina bans a long list of items from landfills, and a banned item can cause trouble at the scale. Sorting before you load keeps costs down.

Think about the space your debris will fill and how heavy it is. Old furniture is bulky, while brick and tile reach the weight limit fast.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, a small porch tear-off, or a load of brick, concrete, or dirt. Dense debris hits the weight cap before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a kitchen remodel, flooring removal, or a garage or attic cleanout.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a popular pick for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that cover several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, new home builds, and bigger tear-outs.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size. It's a good fit for commercial construction, plant cleanouts, and large demolition projects.
Tell your account manager about the job, and they'll recommend a size.
A dumpster on private property, like your driveway or a business lot, doesn't need a street permit. Placing one on a City street or sidewalk is different.
The City of Hickory handles work on City-maintained streets through a Right of Way Encroachment Agreement from its Engineering Division. The City doesn't list a separate dumpster permit, and roads maintained by the state follow the North Carolina Department of Transportation's rules instead.
Call the City of Hickory Permit Center at 828-323-7410 before you plan any street placement. The main City Hall line is 828-323-7400.
Your account manager can help you figure out whether your street is City or state maintained and find the right contact.
Most construction and household debris can go in. The limits come from North Carolina's landfill bans and the county landfill's rules.
State law keeps these items out of landfills: used oil, oil filters, antifreeze, lead-acid batteries, and whole tires. Appliances like washers, fridges, and water heaters are banned too, along with aluminum cans and recyclable plastic bottles. TVs and computer equipment, like monitors, laptops, and printers, can't be landfilled either.
Yard waste is also banned from the landfill, so keep brush and leaves out of a construction load. Fluorescent bulbs and mercury thermostats are banned from construction debris landfills.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster.
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.
Most dumpster loads from Hickory go to the Blackburn Resource Recovery Facility, which Catawba County owns and operates. It's at 4017 Rocky Ford Rd, Newton, NC 28658, and it takes both household waste and construction and demolition debris.
The county landfill page lists landfill hours as Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 8 to 11:30 a.m. It's closed on Sundays. Tires have been banned from the landfill since 1989 and must be recycled.
Your account manager will confirm where your load goes and explain disposal fees before delivery.
4017 Rocky Ford Rd, Newton, NC 28658
Catawba County landfill, open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday mornings.
Most rentals in Hickory can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a little early gives you time to sort out street placement and prepare the spot.
Tips for a smooth delivery:
Keep the landfill's short Saturday in mind. It closes at 11:30 a.m. on Saturdays and stays closed Sundays, so a weekend load usually moves on Monday.

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.
Our 10-yard dumpster costs $399 to $499, and our 40-yard costs $699 to $899, for a standard five-day rental. The weight of your debris and county landfill fees can change the total. Your account manager will confirm included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For one small load, driving to the county landfill yourself can cost less. For a remodel or full cleanout, a dumpster is usually cheaper once you count repeat trips to Newton, fuel, and time. One container handles the whole job.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. That leaves plenty of room for a dresser, a bed frame, and boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so space runs out before weight does.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, asbestos, used oil, antifreeze, car batteries, and whole tires. North Carolina also bans appliances, TVs, computers, and yard waste from landfills. Tell your account manager about anything unusual when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster is our lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. Your final cost depends on what you load. Brick, plaster, and shingles can put a small container over its weight allowance, so heavy debris often costs less in its own load.
Three days usually costs the same as five, since we price each rental by the job and not by the day. The weight of your load has a bigger effect on the bill. Ask your account manager how much tonnage is included and what overage costs.
You can load most home and construction debris, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and cardboard. Wooden pallets mixed into construction waste are fine at a construction debris landfill. Concrete, brick, and dirt are allowed too. If you're unsure about an item, ask your account manager first.
