At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Dover, New Hampshire, and the surrounding Strafford County towns in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older homes near downtown, new subdivisions on the outskirts, and a busy season of roofing and remodeling keep construction debris coming all year.
Your total depends on the container size, the type of debris, how long you keep the dumpster, and the disposal fees where your load ends up. Below, we walk through price ranges, the City's street permit, local disposal rules, and what you should keep out of your container.

A few factors decide what you'll pay for a dumpster in Dover.
Size is the first. Larger containers cost more, but one that's too small can mean overage charges or a second haul.
Weight is the second. Plaster, shingles, and old masonry are heavy, and disposal sites charge by weight. Local drop-off prices show how quickly it adds up. The City's Recycling Center charges contractors $.15 per pound for construction debris, with a $25 minimum per load.
The third is where the load goes. That Recycling Center only takes construction debris in loads up to a one-ton dump truck, so a full roll-off heads to a larger regional disposal site instead.
The fourth is street placement. Dover charges a fee to block a public road or sidewalk, so a spot on your own property saves you a step.

The right size comes down to how much debris you have and what it weighs. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for a bathroom remodel, a small porch or shed removal, or a basement corner. It's also the one to pick for plaster, brick, or concrete, since heavy debris reaches the weight limit before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits an attic or garage cleanout, flooring removal, or a small roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Dover for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that take in several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster covers large renovations, additions, and new home construction with lots of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container. It's designed for commercial work, major demolition, and large property cleanouts.
Tell your account manager about the job, and they'll help you settle on a size.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or a job site, you generally won't need a City permit in Dover. If it would block any part of a public road, sidewalk, or City right-of-way, you'll need a permit first.
Dover's rules require a permit to obstruct or encumber a public road or sidewalk, and the Community Services Department issues it. Whoever holds the permit also has to keep proper barriers or traffic controls around the obstruction while it's in place. The City's FY25 schedule of fees lists this permit at $110.00. Ask Engineering to confirm the current amount.
The Engineering Division handles work in the right-of-way from 271 Mast Road, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can apply online through the City's permit portal. For help deciding whether you need a permit, call Community Services at 603-516-6450. If you're unsure where your lot line is, your account manager can help you find the right contact.
Most remodeling and cleanout debris can go in your container. The limits come from standard disposal rules and from how Dover handles certain items.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster.
Dover sends several household items to its Recycling Center instead of the trash. TVs and microwaves must go there, and each carries a disposal fee. Monitors, printers, and other computer gear have set fees there, too. Car and boat batteries belong there too, along with antifreeze, mercury thermometers and thermostats, fluorescent bulbs, and tires.
Appliances with refrigerant, like fridges and dehumidifiers, carry their own fee at the center. Pull those out before you load the container, and mention any tires or appliances when you book.
When in doubt, check with your account manager before an item 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.
Dover runs its own Recycling Center at 265 Mast Road, Dover, NH 03820. It's open Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and the construction debris scale closes 15 minutes before that. The center accepts checks and credit cards only.
The center is built for smaller loads. It takes construction debris from residents and contractors, but only in loads up to a one-ton dump truck, and it charges by the pound. It's a good option for a pickup load or for the TVs, batteries, and appliances you pull out of your project.
A full roll-off container goes to a regional disposal site that accepts large loads. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and explain the disposal fees before delivery.
265 Mast Road, Dover, NH 03820
City of Dover drop-off, open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Most dumpster rentals in Dover can be arranged within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If you need a street obstruction permit, call Engineering early so the approval doesn't hold up delivery.
A few tips to keep things smooth:
The Recycling Center keeps short hours, too. It's open only three days a week, so if you plan to drop off TVs or batteries there, time the trip around those days.

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.
Rentals in Dover 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. The debris type and the disposal fees at the receiving site also shape your final price. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates.
For a single truckload, the Recycling Center can make sense. For a bigger job, a dumpster usually costs less, since the center charges by the pound, accepts only small truckloads, and opens three days a week. You fill one container at home, and we haul it away once.
Yes. A typical three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a bed frame, a dresser, and boxes from a closet or attic. Furniture fills space fast but stays light, so you'll run out of room before you reach the weight limit.
In Dover, keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your dumpster. The City also sends TVs, microwaves, computer equipment, car batteries, and fluorescent bulbs to its Recycling Center. Mention tires and refrigerant appliances when you book so they're handled separately.
The 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced option, at $399 to $499. Your final cost still depends on what you load. Heavy plaster, brick, or shingles can push a small container past its weight allowance and add overage fees. Your account manager can explain the included weight up front.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our five-day rental, because dumpsters are priced by the job and not by the day. The weight of your debris affects the total more than the rental length. Ask your account manager about the included weight and any extra-day charge.
Most household and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, insulation, roofing, flooring, cabinets, tubs, toilets, and furniture. Brick and masonry can go in too, but they're heavy, so a smaller container is best. If you're unsure about an item, your account manager can confirm it before you load.
