At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Fort Dodge, Iowa, and the rest of Webster County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older homes getting new roofs and kitchens, farm and acreage cleanouts, storm cleanup, and ongoing commercial and residential construction keep roll-off containers in demand around town.
The price you pay depends on the size you choose, the kind of debris, how long you keep the container, and the per-ton fee at the regional landfill. Below, we walk through price ranges, the City's permit for dumpsters on the street, Iowa's landfill bans, and the landfill that takes Fort Dodge debris.

In Fort Dodge, a few details move your price up or down.
The container comes first. Bigger sizes cost more, but a container that's too small can mean a second haul, and that often costs more than ordering the next size up.
Weight comes next, because the landfill charges by the ton. The regional agency's fees page lists a tipping fee of $44.50 per ton, along with a notice that the rate rises to $45.50 starting July 1, 2026. Roofing, plaster, and wet debris add tons quickly.
Some items cost extra no matter what they weigh. The landfill's list of extra fees includes a $10 charge for appliances and $15 for each TV, and tires are charged by type. Tell us about these when you book so nothing surprises you.
Clean fill can save money. The landfill takes clean concrete and black dirt at no charge, as long as there's no trash, wood, metal, or plastic mixed in. Keeping that material in its own container can make a real difference on a patio or foundation job.

Choose a size based on how much you're tossing and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits a bathroom remodel, a small shed teardown, or a basement corner cleanout. Pick it for concrete, dirt, or brick too, since heavy loads reach the weight limit well before they reach the top.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a single-car garage cleanout, carpet removal, or a small roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Fort Dodge for cleaning out a whole house, tearing off a roof, or remodeling several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles bigger renovations, new home construction, and outbuilding demolition with lots of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's built for commercial projects, major demolition, and large farm or property cleanouts.
If you're not sure which size fits, describe the job to your account manager, and they'll help you decide.
A dumpster placed on private property, like your driveway or yard, generally doesn't need a City permit in Fort Dodge. Once it sits in the street or anywhere in the public right-of-way, you'll need one.
The City's right-of-way permitting page names dumpsters, cranes, and lifts as temporary items that need an Obstruction Permit. Anyone placing an object in the right-of-way must show a liability insurance policy. If the container blocks any part of a travel lane, a traffic control plan is required too. You can apply online through the same page.
The City's Engineering staff handle these permits at City Hall, 819 1st Ave. S. City Hall is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The City doesn't post a fee or review time for an Obstruction Permit, so ask when you call.
Call the Engineering office at 515-576-4551, extension 1236. If you're not sure whether your drop spot is in the right-of-way, your account manager can help you find the right contact.
Most home and construction debris is fine to load. Iowa's landfill rules and the regional landfill's own limits set the boundaries.
Iowa has banned yard waste from landfills since 1991, so grass, leaves, and brush need to go to a yard waste site or compost instead. Whole tires are also banned from landfills unless they're cut into pieces of 18 inches or less.
Appliances have their own rule. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources requires every discarded appliance to go through a permitted demanufacturer, who removes refrigerant and other hazardous parts first. The landfill also requires refrigerators to be cleaned out.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and batteries can't go in a standard dumpster. Asbestos carries its own fee and handling at the landfill, so it can't be tossed in with regular debris.
If you're unsure about any item, check with your account manager before loading it.
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.
Fort Dodge debris goes to the landfill run by the North Central Iowa Regional Solid Waste Agency. This public agency serves 39 communities across Webster, Hamilton, and Humboldt counties, according to its about page.
The agency's office is at 2151 Gypsum Hollow Road, Fort Dodge, IA 50501, and the landfill sits a quarter mile south of its recycling center. The landfill is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to noon. It's closed on Sundays.
Every load stops at the scale to check in, even clean concrete that's free to drop off. Uncovered loads also pay extra, so containers must be tarped on the way. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and explain the fees before delivery.

Most Fort Dodge dumpster rentals can be set up within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days early leaves room to get a street permit if you need one.
A few tips help your delivery go smoothly:
The landfill closes at noon on Saturdays and stays closed on Sundays. A container you fill over the weekend will usually be hauled 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.
Fort Dodge dumpster rentals 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. The weight of your debris and the regional landfill's per-ton fee also affect the total. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates.
For anything beyond a load or two, a dumpster usually saves money. Every self-haul trip means a landfill fee, a tarp, gas, and time at the scale. With a dumpster, you load at your own pace and we take it all away in one trip.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving room for a table, a bed frame, and plenty of boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll run out of space long before the weight becomes an issue.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your Fort Dodge dumpster. Iowa also bans yard waste and whole tires from landfills, and appliances must go to a permitted demanufacturer. TVs and appliances carry extra landfill fees, so mention them when you book.
Our 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced option, at $399 to $499. Since the landfill charges by the ton, a small container full of shingles can still run over its weight allowance. Clean concrete and black dirt are free at the landfill, so keeping them separate can save you money.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price by the job, not the day, and the landfill bills by weight, so extra days don't change disposal costs. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and any charge for extra days.
Most construction and household debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, shingles, siding, flooring, furniture, cardboard, and general junk. Clean concrete and black dirt are accepted too, and they cost less to dispose of in their own load. Your account manager can confirm any item you're not sure about.
