At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Alexandria, Virginia, and the surrounding Northern Virginia communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Home and townhouse renovations, condo and office updates, move-out cleanouts, and steady construction across the city keep containers in demand for homeowners, property managers, and contractors.
Your total depends on the container size, the type of debris, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees where the load goes. Here's what to expect on price, the City's street permit, what the local facilities refuse, and where your debris ends up.

Several local factors shape a dumpster quote in Alexandria.
Size is the base. A larger container costs more, but one that's too small can mean a second haul. Picking the right size up front usually saves money.
Weight follows. Brick, plaster, tile, and concrete are heavy and fill your weight allowance quickly. Cabinets, carpet, and furniture take up space but weigh less.
Street placement can be a big factor. When there's no room off the street, the dumpster has to go in the right-of-way. The City charges $125.00 per permit for a dumpster in the public right-of-way, good for one to 30 days, plus any parking fees for reserved spaces.
The load type matters too. The City's waste-to-energy plant doesn't take construction debris, so remodel loads go to a different facility than household cleanout loads. Your account manager will match your debris to the right destination.

Choose your size by how much debris you'll have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, a small apartment or basement cleanout, or a patio tear-out. It's also best for brick and concrete, since heavy loads hit the weight limit early.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a kitchen remodel, new flooring, or a roof on a smaller home. It's a good middle size when space on the street is tight.
The 20-Yard Dumpster handles whole-house cleanouts and multi-room renovations. It's one of the most popular sizes in Alexandria.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits large renovations, additions, and new construction with plenty of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It's used for commercial builds, big demolition jobs, and major property cleanouts.
Not sure what fits your space? Your account manager can help you pick a size that works for the job and the spot.
If the dumpster sits on private property, like a driveway or a private lot, you usually won't need a City permit. If it goes on a street, sidewalk, or alley, you'll need a permit from the City first.
The City of Alexandria's Transportation & Environmental Services department issues a permit to perform work in the right-of-way for a dumpster on a street or sidewalk. You'll submit a sketch of the location, keep the dumpster at least 20 feet from any stop bar or crosswalk, and place flashing barricades at each end.
The application must name the company providing the dumpster, and that company must put a current City solid waste sticker on the container. The City asks for applications five business days before the work, reviews them within three days, and makes reserved parking available three business days after the permit is issued.
For questions, call the City's Permit Center at 703-746-4035. Your account manager can help you gather what the application needs.
Most household and construction debris can go in the container. The limits come from Virginia waste rules and from the facilities that take the load.
Virginia law doesn't allow used car batteries in mixed trash. They have to go back to a battery seller or a recycler.
The City's list of local disposal sites notes that the waste-to-energy plant won't take construction debris, stumps, rocks, dirt, tires, TVs or other electronics, liquids, pressurized tanks, or hazardous waste. Refrigerators, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers aren't accepted there either.
Standard exclusions apply as well. Keep paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your dumpster.
If you're unsure about something, check with your account manager before it goes in.
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.
Private dumpster jobs in Alexandria go to local disposal sites. Any company hauling solid waste in the city needs an annual City solid waste sticker on its trucks, and a hauling permit is needed when five or more loads leave a site within 30 days.
Household cleanout and general trash loads can go to the Reworld Alexandria Waste-to-Energy Facility at 5301 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, VA. It runs Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 6 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The City lists it on its local disposal facilities page.
Construction and building debris can't go to that plant. The same City page lists the Alexandria Waste Recovery Facility at 625 Burnside Place, a privately run site. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain any disposal fees before delivery.
5301 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, VA
Open Monday to Friday, 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 6 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.; no construction debris.
Most Alexandria rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, and the dumpster arrives in a 24 to 48 hour window. If your container will sit on the street, plan ahead, since the City wants permit requests five business days out. Booking early can also save you money.
Tips for a smooth delivery:
The waste-to-energy plant closes by midday Saturday and doesn't open on Sundays, so a container filled late in the week may be hauled early the next week.

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.
An Alexandria dumpster rental costs from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. Your debris, the disposal site, and any City street permit affect the total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For a small load, driving it yourself can cost less. For bigger jobs, a dumpster usually wins. Contractors are turned away from the City's free resident drop-off, and construction debris has to go to a separate site. One container keeps it to a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have space for a bed frame, a dresser, and some boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so the container fills up before it gets close to the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, pressurized tanks, and asbestos. Virginia bans car batteries from mixed trash, and local facilities turn away tires, TVs, and electronics. Refrigerators and air conditioners also need separate handling, so mention them when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, starting at $399 to $499. A smaller container can also be easier to fit on a tight street. Heavy brick or concrete can push it past its weight allowance, so keeping dense debris in its own load helps avoid overage fees.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as a five-day one, since pricing is set per job, not per day. The weight of your debris matters more than the rental length. If the dumpster sits on the street, the City permit covers one to 30 days. Ask your account manager about tonnage.
Most household and building debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, flooring, cabinets, roofing, furniture, and cleanout junk. Clean concrete and brick can go in too, and they're often best kept in their own load. If you're unsure about an item, ask your account manager before loading it.
