At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Tumwater, Washington, and nearby Thurston County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Tumwater sits just south of Olympia along I-5, and it keeps growing. New homes, business parks, and warehouse construction add steady work, while older houses near the historic brewery area and Tumwater Hill need new roofs, decks, and kitchens.
A few things set your price: the size of the container, the type of debris, the length of your rental, and the disposal fees at the county transfer station. Below you'll find our price ranges, how to keep a container off City streets, the state rule on who can place a container, and where your load ends up.

In Tumwater, the cost of a dumpster comes down to what you throw out and where it goes.
Size is the starting point. Choosing a container that's too small can lead to a second haul, while one that's too big means paying for space you don't use. We'll help you land in the middle.
Weight is the next piece. Wet lumber, roofing, and concrete are heavy in the Pacific Northwest, especially after a rainy week. Heavy loads use up your included tonnage faster than light, bulky junk.
Then there's disposal. Tumwater's code sends waste made in the city to Thurston County's chosen disposal site. That's the county's Waste and Recovery Center in Lacey, which charges $136 per ton for construction and demolition debris, with a $21 minimum. The county also adds a per-item handling fee for TVs, monitors, and refrigerated appliances.
Last, placement matters. A container on your driveway or job site keeps things simple. Tumwater's code bars building materials from being piled on any street, sidewalk, or alley, so plan to keep the dumpster on private ground.

Think about both how much you're tossing and how heavy it is. Our containers run from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster handles a bathroom update, a shed cleanout, or a pile of broken concrete from an old patio. Dense debris like that fills the weight limit before it fills the space, so a small container is often the smart pick.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a kitchen remodel, a deck tear-off, or a garage full of stored items. It's a step up in room without a big jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the go-to size for many Tumwater homeowners doing a full house cleanout or replacing floors in several rooms. It also covers most single-story roof jobs.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for larger remodels, additions, and new home construction. Builders like it for jobs that mix lumber, siding, and drywall.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's made for commercial projects, big demolition jobs, and warehouse cleanouts.
Tell your account manager about your project, and they'll help you pick the size that fits your debris and budget.
On private property, such as your driveway, yard, or a fenced job site, you usually don't need a City permit for a dumpster. That's the best place for it in Tumwater.
The City's street obstruction rules say no one may pile lumber, building blocks, cement, or other building materials on any street, sidewalk, alley, or public way. The City doesn't list a separate dumpster permit for the street, so treat the public right-of-way as off limits unless the City tells you otherwise in writing.
Washington also has a rule about who can drop off a container. The state's Utilities and Transportation Commission says that putting a container or drop box at a home or business for the customer to fill requires a state solid waste certificate or a city or county contract. Your account manager will confirm how that rule applies to your address before you book.
For questions about City permits, call Tumwater Permit Services at 360-754-4180. The permit counter is at City Hall, 555 Israel Road SW. If you're not sure where the property line ends, your account manager can help you find the right contact.
Most construction debris and household junk can go in a roll-off. The limits come from Washington's waste rules and from what the county transfer station accepts.
Asbestos needs special care. A permit from the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency is required before you remove it, and it must be labeled and taken to the county site on its own. It can't go in a regular dumpster.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos all stay out of a standard container. Thurston County takes household hazardous materials at its HazoHouse drop-off, which sits at the same Lacey site.
TVs, computer monitors, refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners each carry an extra handling fee at the county site. Tires are limited too. Keep these items separate and mention them when you book.
If you're unsure about anything, 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.
Dumpster loads from Tumwater go to the Thurston County Waste and Recovery Center at 2420 Hogum Bay Road NE, Lacey, WA 98516. The county's Public Works department runs the site. It's open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. It closes on New Year's Day, July 4, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
The Waste and Recovery Center serves people and businesses in Thurston County. Every load crosses the scales, and all construction debris is handled as garbage, since the county's sites don't recycle it. Washington law also requires every load to be covered and secured on the way in.
Because the county charges by weight, heavy debris shows up in your price. Your account manager can confirm where your load is going and walk you through any fees before delivery.
2420 Hogum Bay Road NE, Lacey, WA 98516
Open daily; weekdays 7 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., weekends 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.
Most Tumwater rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, and your container shows up in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days ahead gives you time to plan the drop spot and check the hauler rule for your address.
Here's how to keep delivery day simple:
The county site in Lacey is open seven days a week, so loads can often move even on weekends. It closes on four major holidays.

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.
A Tumwater dumpster rental costs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, for five days. The weight of your load and the county's disposal fees shape the final number. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage and overage rate when you book.
A dumpster usually wins once you need more than a couple of trips. The county site in Lacey charges a minimum on every visit, and each run means loading, driving, tarping, and unloading. One dumpster takes the whole job in a single haul and saves you a weekend.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. That leaves plenty of room for a mattress, a dresser, and bags of household junk. Furniture is light for its size, so you'll run out of space well before you hit the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Asbestos needs a clean air agency permit and separate handling. TVs, monitors, and fridges carry extra fees at the county site, and tires are limited, so set them aside and mention them when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster is our lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. Your total depends on weight, though. Concrete, soil, and roofing can push a small container over its allowance fast. Splitting heavy debris into its own load often keeps the overall cost lower.
Three days costs the same as our standard five-day rental, because pricing covers the job, not each day. Your bill moves with the weight of the load, not the calendar. Ask your account manager how many tons are included and what extra weight costs.
Most debris from a Tumwater home or job site is fine. That covers lumber, siding, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general household junk. Concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted too. If you're not sure about an item, your account manager can check before it goes in.
