At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Alexandria, Louisiana, and the wider Rapides Parish area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Storm repairs and reroofing, older houses in the Garden District and along Bayou Rapides getting brought back, and commercial construction out toward the interstate keep roll-off containers in steady demand for homeowners and contractors alike.
Four things set your price: the container size, the material you put in it, how long you keep it, and what it costs to get that load into a facility that will accept it. Below you will find our ranges, how the City handles permits and street work, and a plain list of what has to stay out of the container.

Here is what actually moves an Alexandria quote.
Container size comes first. Stepping up one size costs a little more today and saves a lot compared with paying for a second delivery next week.
What goes in matters just as much. Shingles, plaster, tile, and broken concrete are dense, and disposal is priced by weight. A small container of roofing can weigh more than a big one filled with furniture and cabinets.
Where the load can be taken is the third piece, and it is more of a factor here than in a lot of towns. Rapides Parish has no parish-run solid waste department, so the destination depends on what you loaded. Clean construction and demolition debris has a public site across the river, while mixed household waste takes a different route.
Local rules round it out. City collection covers bagged household refuse and limbs, not job site debris. In fact, the City warns that if its crews have to collect lawn debris a contractor left at the curb, there is a $300 charge per load or part of a load. That alone is why most remodels here start with a container in the driveway. Your account manager will confirm which facility takes your material before we set a date.

Choose by the amount of debris first, then check how heavy it will be. We carry five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest we bring out. It suits a single bathroom, a shed teardown, or a round of yard work. It is also the one to ask for with brick, block, and concrete, since dense material hits the weight limit long before the container fills up.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the middle option for a packed garage, a flooring tear-out, or a small roof. You get useful extra room without a big jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Alexandria homeowners settle on. It covers a whole-house cleanout or a remodel running through two or three rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, new builds, and commercial work. Reach for it when debris will keep coming for several days and you want to avoid a swap in the middle of the job.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It is meant for demolition, shop and warehouse cleanouts, and sites that fill a container faster than a crew can sort.
If two sizes look close, describe the job to your account manager and they will point you at the right one.
A container that sits on private property, such as your own driveway or inside the job site fence, normally needs no City permit in Alexandria. That changes when any part of it rests in a public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way.
The City handles that side through its Construction Development and Permits office, which is also where grading, demolition, and moving and placement applications are filed. The City keeps a right-of-way agent on staff for questions about what the public right-of-way actually covers on a given block.
Downtown blocks and the older streets near the river are where this comes up most, because driveways are short and the strip between the sidewalk and the curb often belongs to the City rather than the homeowner.
Call the City of Alexandria permits office at 318-473-1372 with questions about your address, or 318-441-6333 to arrange an inspection on a job that already has a permit. If you are not sure where the right-of-way line runs in front of your house, your account manager can help you reach the right person before delivery day.
Ordinary household and construction debris is fine. The limits come from hazardous waste rules and from what the receiving facility will accept.
Hazardous waste never goes in a container. That covers liquids of any kind, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos, along with pesticides, pool chemicals, and cleaning products. Alexandria runs a household hazardous waste collection day for exactly that material, and the number for it is 318-441-6204.
Automotive material has its own route as well. Used motor oil, oil filters, transmission fluid, antifreeze, and car batteries all go to a local drop-off rather than into your load. The City publishes a list of places around town that take them.
Electronics should come out before pickup. Televisions, monitors, desktop computers, and printers are accepted at several drop-off points in Alexandria, and they do not belong in a mixed container.
Tires are handled separately too, and concrete is worth a word of its own. The City does not collect it at the curb, so a clean concrete load in its own container is usually the cheapest way to move it. When in doubt about an item, ask your account manager before you load 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.
Rapides Parish runs no parish-wide solid waste department, so where a container goes depends on what is in it.
Clean construction and demolition debris has a public option close by. The City of Pineville operates the Wardville Construction and Demolition Debris Landfill at 1980 Crepe Myrtle Dr, Pineville, LA 71360, just across the Red River from Alexandria. It holds a state permit for construction and demolition waste, which the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality lists in its landfill report. The City of Pineville Sanitation Department answers at 318-449-5668, weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Mixed household waste and cleanout material follow a different path, since the parish has no publicly owned municipal solid waste landfill. That routing is one of the details we handle for you rather than something you need to sort out.
The practical takeaway is simple. Keeping a clean debris load separate from a mixed one often opens up the cheaper destination. Your account manager will confirm which facility is taking your load and explain any charges tied to it before delivery.
1980 Crepe Myrtle Dr, Pineville, LA 71360
City of Pineville site for construction and demolition debris, staffed weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Most Alexandria rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A few extra days of notice helps, since it gives you room to sort out a street permit and get the drop spot ready. Booking ahead can trim the price too.
Five things worth doing before the truck arrives:
Disposal hours matter as well. The public site across the river keeps weekday hours only, so a container filled late on a Friday may sit until the following week before it can be emptied.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster provides dumpster rentals throughout Alexandria and the surrounding Rapides Parish communities, from the Garden District and downtown out along Bayou Rapides, MacArthur Drive, and the commercial corridor toward Interstate 49, as well as across the river in Pineville. Wherever the job sits, we line up delivery, pickup, and disposal to fit the way your crew works.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, confirm where your material can go, and quote you a firm price on the call.
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.
Dumpster rentals in Alexandria run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day rental. What you load changes the number too, because disposal is charged by weight and by material. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For most jobs, renting wins. Hauling it yourself means a trailer or a borrowed truck, a charge at the facility each time you arrive, fuel, and a full day of driving back and forth. City crews will not take contractor debris at the curb, so a container is usually the only practical way to clear a remodel.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves plenty of space for a mattress, a table, and a stack of boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so you will run out of room long before the weight allowance becomes a concern.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Pesticides, pool chemicals, used motor oil, antifreeze, and car batteries belong at a drop-off site or the City's hazardous waste collection day. Electronics and tires also need their own route, so set those aside before the container is loaded.
The 10-yard container has our lowest starting price, $399 to $499. What goes in still decides the total. Concrete, brick, and wet debris reach the weight allowance fast in a small container, so heavy material is usually cheaper in a load of its own than mixed with light household junk.
Three days normally costs the same as our standard five-day rental, since we price by the job rather than by the day. Weight is what really drives the bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage the quote covers and what an extra ton costs before the container shows up.
Most home and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, doors, siding, furniture, carpet, and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted as well, and they often open up a cheaper disposal route when kept separate. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
