A few local factors decide where your Ellensburg quote lands.
Container size sets the base. A bigger dumpster costs more to rent, but going too small can mean overage charges or a second haul.
What you throw away matters just as much. Kittitas County charges by weight, and it prices household garbage, construction debris, and yard waste differently. Clean construction debris costs less per ton to dispose of than mixed household trash, so keeping a remodel load free of garbage can lower the bill.
Some items cost extra no matter the size. Tires and appliances that still hold refrigerant are charged by the piece at the county's transfer stations, so let us know about them when you book.
The county's own transfer station page lists its current disposal fees. Those are county charges, separate from what you pay to rent the dumpster.
Perfect For:
Weight Limit: Up to 2 tons (4,000 lbs)
Bags of Trash: Approximately 50-70 large trash bags.
Truck Loads: Roughly 3 pickup truck loads.

Choose the size by how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards in Ellensburg.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom gut, a dorm-style apartment cleanout, or a small concrete patio. Heavy debris like brick and broken concrete should go in this size, since it maxes out on weight first.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works well for a garage or shop cleanout, a small roof tear-off, or flooring from a few rooms.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a popular size in Ellensburg for whole-house cleanouts, rental turnovers, and remodels that cover several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is sized for additions, big renovations, new home construction, and barn or outbuilding teardowns.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest container we offer, built for commercial projects, large demolition, and big property cleanups.
Your account manager can recommend the right size once you describe the job.
When the dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or yard, you generally don't need a City permit in Ellensburg. Things change once the container sits in a street, parking strip, or sidewalk, since that's City right-of-way.
The City doesn't post a dumpster permit on its website. Its frequently asked questions note that work using the City right-of-way may need a Public Works Permit to keep traffic safe and protect City streets. Engineering Services handles permitting through the City's SmartGov online system.
Call the City of Ellensburg Public Works Department at City Hall, 501 N. Anderson Street, at 509-962-7204. Ask whether a rented container in the street at your address needs a permit and how long approval takes. For engineering and permit questions, Engineering Services answers at 509-962-7230 on workdays.
Downtown streets and historic districts can be tight, so a driveway spot is often easier. Your account manager can help you reach the right City contact before delivery.
Most remodeling, cleanout, and construction debris can go in your container. Washington's disposal rules and the county's transfer stations set the limits.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos don't belong in a standard dumpster. Batteries, motor oil, and propane tanks stay out too.
Kittitas County treats a few items as special loads rather than regular garbage. Tires are charged by the piece, and refrigerators and freezers must be empty with the doors removed before the county takes them. Appliances holding refrigerant carry a separate fee, so tell us about them before they go in.
For TVs, computers, and monitors, Washington's E-Cycle Washington program offers free recycling. That's a better route than the dumpster for old electronics.
If you're not sure about something, 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.
Kittitas County Solid Waste Programs owns two transfer stations, one in Ellensburg and one in Cle Elum.
Most dumpster loads from Ellensburg go to the Ellensburg Transfer Station at 2603 W. Green Avenue, Ellensburg, WA 98926. It's open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and closed Sundays. The station's phone number is 509-962-7072. Recyclables can be dropped at the station's approach at no charge.
Heavier construction loads may go elsewhere. The county sends dump trucks carrying more than a ton of construction debris straight to its Ryegrass Landfill, which serves contractors with a county business account. The county's main solid waste office answers at 509-962-7542.
The facility your container goes to affects the disposal fee, so your account manager will confirm the destination and walk you through the costs before delivery.
2603 W. Green Avenue, Ellensburg, WA 98926
Owned by Kittitas County; open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Most Ellensburg rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the dumpster arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days ahead leaves time to check on street placement and prep the drop site.
Here's how to keep delivery simple:
The Ellensburg Transfer Station is closed on Sundays, so a container filled over the weekend usually goes out on Monday.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves homes and job sites throughout Ellensburg and the rest of Kittitas County, including Kittitas, Thorp, Cle Elum, and Roslyn. We arrange delivery, pickup, and disposal around your project schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container with you, confirm which county site takes the load, and give you a clear price.
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.
Ellensburg 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. Kittitas County's per-ton disposal fees and the type of debris also affect the price. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
Once a job takes more than two or three truckloads, renting usually wins. Each trip to the transfer station means a disposal fee with a minimum charge, plus gas and time spent loading and unloading. A single dumpster takes it all in one haul.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch takes up roughly one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's room left for a mattress, a desk, and a few boxes. Furniture tends to fill the space long before it gets heavy enough to matter.
Leave hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, batteries, motor oil, and asbestos out of your Ellensburg dumpster. Tires and appliances with refrigerant are charged by the piece at county transfer stations, so mention them when you book. E-Cycle Washington recycles TVs and computers for free.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Because Kittitas County charges by weight, a small container full of shingles or concrete can still go over its limit. Keeping heavy debris separate is an easy way to save.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our five-day standard, since dumpsters are priced per job. Weight affects your bill far more than the number of days. Ask your account manager what's included and what an extra day adds.
Most household and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, carpet, roofing, siding, cabinets, furniture, and general junk. Clean construction debris is also cheaper for the county to take than mixed garbage, so a clean load can help. Your account manager can confirm anything you're unsure of.
