At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Plum, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding eastern Allegheny County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Plum covers 29 square miles about 13 miles east of Pittsburgh, and older homes getting new kitchens, roof tear-offs, and ongoing residential construction keep containers moving through the borough.
Your price depends on the container size, the debris you're tossing, how long the dumpster stays, and the disposal fees at the landfill that takes the load. Below, you'll find price ranges, how Plum handles containers near the road, and what Pennsylvania keeps out of its landfills.

Here's what moves a dumpster price in Plum.
Size sets the base. A larger container costs more, but choosing one that fits the job keeps you clear of overage fees and a second haul.
Weight comes next. Plaster, brick, shingles, and soil are heavy, and landfills charge by the ton, so a dense load uses up your included weight quickly. Light, bulky items like furniture fill space long before they hit the scale limit.
Landfill fees also shape the cost. Pennsylvania adds state charges to every ton buried in the state: a $2 recycling fee, a $4 disposal fee, and a $0.25 environmental fee. Landfills pay those and build them into their prices, so you won't see them as separate lines on your bill.
Placement is the last piece. A container in your driveway is simple. One that reaches a borough road brings the Borough of Plum into the picture, so settle that before delivery day.

Choose your size based on how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits a bathroom gut, a spare room cleanout, or a pile of broken concrete from an old walkway. Heavy debris like brick or plaster belongs here, because it reaches the weight limit before the container fills up.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage or basement cleanout, carpet and flooring from a few rooms, or a small roof tear-off. It gives you more room without a big price jump.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a go-to size for Plum homeowners clearing out a whole house or remodeling several rooms at the same time.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits large renovations, additions, new home construction, and demolition that produces mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, built for commercial construction, major demolition, and big property cleanouts.
Talk through the project with your account manager, and they'll help you pick a size that fits.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like a driveway or a job site, you usually won't need anything from the borough. Things change when the container would sit on a borough road or in the public right-of-way.
For work in a borough road, Plum uses a Road Occupancy Permit. The borough's permit document is written mainly for digging and boring, and it asks anyone opening a road to post a $15,000 road opening bond. That bond is tied to road openings, not to parking a container. The application leaves the fee lines blank for the borough to fill in.
The borough doesn't list a separate dumpster permit or a review time. The permit form goes to the Borough of Plum at 2000 Mike Thomas Way, and Public Works, which looks after the roads, is next door at 2001 Mike Thomas Way.
Call the Borough of Plum at 412-795-6800 and ask what's needed before a container can sit on the road at your address. If you're not sure where your lot ends and the right-of-way begins, your account manager can help you reach the right person.
Most debris from a remodel or cleanout can go in your dumpster. Pennsylvania's landfill rules decide what can't.
The Pennsylvania Code bars every municipal waste landfill from taking hazardous waste, explosive waste, lead-acid batteries, and loads that are mostly leaves. Bulk liquids are out, and containers holding free liquids are only allowed when they're under a gallon.
Electronics have their own state rule. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection says covered electronics are banned from municipal waste facilities. That includes desktop and laptop computers, monitors, keyboards, printers, and TVs with a screen of four inches or more.
Paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of a standard dumpster too. Plum residents have a free route for many of these items. The borough arranges a curbside collection of electronics and household hazardous waste, with a mailing sent ahead of your collection date.
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.
Plum's curbside trash pickup is set up for weekly bags and carts. The borough takes only one bulk item per week, and construction debris isn't on the list, so a remodel or large cleanout usually calls for a roll-off.
Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection lists three permitted municipal waste landfills in Allegheny County. The closest to Plum is at 600 Thomas Street in Monroeville, about 9 miles south by road. The others are in Forward Township near Elizabeth and on Boggs Road in Imperial, on the county's western edge.
Every load is weighed when it arrives, and the per-ton fee follows the landfill that takes it. Your account manager will confirm where your container is headed and explain the disposal fees before delivery.
Most dumpster rentals in Plum can be booked within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days early leaves time to prep the drop spot and sort out any road placement with the borough.
Keep these tips in mind:
A full container can't go out until a landfill is open to receive it, so a load filled late in the week may wait until the next business day for pickup.

Dumpster rentals in Plum start at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and reach $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. The debris type and landfill fees also shape your final price. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For a single small load, driving it yourself may cost less. Once a job needs several trips, a dumpster usually comes out ahead, since every run means landfill fees, fuel, and time on the road. Plum's curbside pickup takes only one bulk item a week, which doesn't cover a real project.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch takes up roughly one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving plenty of space for a recliner, a mattress, and boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll run out of room well before you get near the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, explosives, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, lead-acid batteries, and asbestos out of your Plum dumpster. Pennsylvania also bans computers, monitors, printers, and TVs from landfills, and loads that are mostly leaves are refused. Your account manager can check anything you're unsure about.
The 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. What you load still matters. A small container full of brick, plaster, or roofing can go over its weight allowance and add overage fees. Loading heavy debris separately is an easy way to keep costs in check.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as our standard five-day rental, because we price by the job rather than by the day. The weight of your debris affects the bill far more than the rental length. Ask your account manager about included weight and overage rates.
Most household and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, carpet, flooring, cabinets, roofing, furniture, and general junk. Brick and concrete are fine too, though keeping them in their own load can save money. Your account manager can confirm any item before you load it.
