At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Arlington, Washington, and the rest of north Snohomish County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. New neighborhoods around Smokey Point, home remodels, roof and siding work after the wet season, and ongoing construction across the north county keep containers moving for homeowners and builders alike.
Your cost rests on the container size, the weight and type of your debris, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees Snohomish County charges at its transfer station. Below you'll find our price ranges, the county's 2026 disposal rates, how street placement works in Arlington, and the items county sites refuse.

Here's what drives the price of a dumpster in Arlington.
Size is the obvious one. A larger container costs more, but choosing one that holds the whole job keeps you from paying for a second haul.
Weight matters more than it used to. Snohomish County raised its disposal fees at the start of 2026 for the first time since 2009, and its fee schedule now charges $160.00 a ton for self-hauled garbage at a transfer station. Wet lumber, shingles, and plaster add tons in a hurry.
Some loads cost extra. The same county schedule bills hard-to-handle waste at $250.00 a ton, which covers loads that need extra handling or slow down the tipping floor. Tell your account manager about bulky or awkward items so they can plan for it.
Where the container sits matters too. On your driveway, it costs nothing extra. In a City street or across a sidewalk, you'll need to check with the City first.

Think about how heavy your debris is as well as how much space it takes, because the county charges by weight. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits one room stripped out, a small bathroom, or a shed cleanout. It's also the size for concrete, brick, and tile, which get heavy long before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster takes a garage cleanout or a single-layer roof tear-off. Bulky, light debris like that uses the room well without piling on weight.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the go-to size for most Arlington homes. It handles a whole-house cleanout, flooring pulled from several rooms, or a siding job.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for additions, major remodels, and new home construction where debris keeps piling up.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container and fits commercial projects, demolition, and big land or property cleanups.
Your account manager can size the job with you in a quick call.
If the container sits entirely on private property, like your driveway or a paved pad, you won't need anything from the City. Once it moves into a street, an alley, or across a sidewalk, it's using public right-of-way, and the City's rules apply.
Arlington has a right-of-way use code covering the streets and sidewalks, but its full text isn't posted online. The City's permit applications page lists building, land use, and civil permits, all filed through its online portal, and it doesn't name a separate dumpster permit.
Community & Economic Development handles permits for the City. Call 360-403-3551 and ask what you need before a container can sit in the street at your address. The City doesn't publish a fee or an approval time for this, so call before you fix a delivery date.
City Hall is at 238 North Olympic Avenue. Your account manager can help you work out whether your spot counts as right-of-way and reach the right City office.
Most construction and cleanout debris is welcome. The limits come from Snohomish County, which runs the facilities that take Arlington's waste.
The county's waste restrictions list items no county site will accept: air conditioners, asbestos, medical waste, electronics, industrial ash, liquid waste, and major vehicle parts. Tires are limited to five per customer per day, passenger car and pickup sizes only.
In a standard dumpster, that means no hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, or asbestos, plus no electronics or air conditioners.
Several of those items have their own route. Asbestos goes through the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency at 1-800-552-3565. For air conditioners, refrigerators, and freezers, call the county's Solid Waste Division at 425-388-3425. Computers, monitors, TVs, and tablets can go to the state's free E-Cycle Washington program.
If an item leaves you unsure, 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.
Loads from Arlington go to the county's North County Recycling & Transfer Station at 19600 63rd Avenue NE, Arlington, WA 98223, run by Snohomish County Solid Waste. Its facility page lists the garbage and recycling areas as open seven days a week, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The station closes only on New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The county asks customers to arrive at least 30 minutes before closing. It doesn't list a phone for the station itself, so questions go to the Solid Waste Division at 425-388-3425.
Nothing gets buried locally. The county trucks its garbage to a rail yard in Everett and ships it by train to the Roosevelt regional landfill in Klickitat County. That long trip is a big part of why disposal costs what it does here. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and explain the fees before delivery.

Open 7 days a week, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; phone is the county Solid Waste Division.
Most Arlington rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A few days' notice gives you time to check on street placement and prep the drop spot.
Some tips for an easy delivery:
The transfer station is open every day of the week except four holidays, so a container you fill on a weekend can usually go out without a long wait.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves Arlington and the nearby north Snohomish County communities, including Smokey Point, Marysville, Stanwood, Silvana, Granite Falls, and Darrington. They all feed the same county transfer station, and we coordinate delivery, pickup, and disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, plan around the county's disposal fees, and give you a clear 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 Arlington run 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. Your debris type and Snohomish County's per-ton disposal fee also affect the final price. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rate when you book.
For most projects, a dumpster costs less. Each self-haul trip to the transfer station carries a minimum charge, even for a light load, and the county raised its fees in 2026. Add the fuel, loading, and time for several trips, and one container hauled once usually wins.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a couple of armchairs, and a stack of boxes. Furniture is bulky but not very heavy, so you'll run out of room before you get close to the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Snohomish County also refuses electronics, air conditioners, medical waste, and major vehicle parts at its sites, and it caps tires at five per customer per day. Mention anything unusual when you book.
The 10-yard container has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Weight still sets the final bill, since the county charges by the ton. A small container packed with tile or wet plaster can cost more in the end than a larger one full of furniture.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, because containers are priced per job rather than per day. What changes your total is the weight of the load. Ask your account manager about the included tonnage and the overage rate before delivery.
Most construction and household debris is fine, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general household junk. Recyclables and eligible electronics can be dropped off separately, which cuts the weight you pay for. Your account manager can confirm anything you're unsure about.
