Four things decide what a dumpster costs you in Auburn.
The first is size. A larger container has a higher base price, yet the right choice saves you from a second haul or an overage charge later.
The second is weight. Plaster, shingles, and old brick from Auburn's older houses get heavy quickly, and disposal is billed by the ton. Tell us about tires, mattresses, and appliances with Freon when you call, since those items often carry their own charges.
The third is disposal. The City runs its own Transfer Station on North Division Street, and it posts a self-haul rate of $100 per ton, with a $3.60 minimum per visit for City residents who hold a yearly decal. Those are the City's fees, not our rental prices, and the City can change them.
The fourth is curbside limits. The City will take bulky items at the curb only if you pay and book ahead. Its fee schedule lists $20 for a couch and $50 for a TV. Once a project fills more than a few of those spots, one container is often the cheaper and faster choice.

Picking a size is mostly about volume and weight. Prime Dumpster has containers from 10 to 40 yards, so there's a fit for a single room or a full job site.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits a bathroom update, a spare room cleanout, or a weekend of yard work. It's also the one to pick for broken concrete, brick, or plaster, since heavy debris hits the weight limit long before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage or basement cleanout, new flooring, or a small roof. It adds space without the price of a much bigger container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Auburn for emptying a whole house or remodeling a few rooms at the same time.
The 30-Yard Dumpster covers big renovations, additions, new builds, and demolition jobs that mix many kinds of debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the biggest container we offer. Contractors use it for commercial builds, large teardowns, and major property cleanouts.
If you're between two sizes, your account manager can talk through the job with you and suggest the better fit.
When the dumpster sits on private property, such as your driveway or a job site lot, you usually won't need a City permit. The picture changes when any part of the container sits on a public street, sidewalk, or other public place.
Auburn's rules for streets and public places name roll-off containers directly. You must get a permit from the Code Enforcement Office before one goes on a street or sidewalk. The permit spells out which part of the street you can use and how long the container can stay.
The office is at Memorial City Hall, 24 South Street, and it's open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to the City's Code Enforcement page. Ask about the fee and how long approval takes when you apply, since the City's fee list doesn't show a separate charge for this permit.
For questions, call the Code Enforcement Office at 315-255-4111. If you can't tell where your yard ends and the street begins, your account manager can help you find the right person at the City.
Most remodeling and cleanout debris can go straight into your container. The limits come from New York State rules and from what the receiving facility will take.
New York has barred many electronics from the trash since January 1, 2015. The Department of Environmental Conservation says you can't throw away TVs, computers, monitors, printers, tablets, and game consoles with regular waste. The state also bans burying whole tires in a landfill, so tires need to stay out.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos don't belong in a standard dumpster either. The City also warns that needles, syringes, lancets, and other sharps must never go in trash or recycling, because they put workers at risk.
For electronics, the City points residents to community drop-off events. Keep TVs and computers out of the container, and mention tires and appliances when you book.
If you're unsure 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.
Auburn runs its own Auburn Transfer Station at 311 N. Division St, Auburn, NY 13021. It's open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and it's closed on Saturday and Sunday. You can reach the station at 315-255-4155.
The City's Streamline page explains that residents need a yearly decal to use it. City residents pay for a decal each year, and people from outside the City pay more for theirs. Everyone pays by weight at the scale. Waste has to arrive in an approved container, and loose material is turned away.
From the Transfer Station, the City trucks its waste on to a landfill in Seneca County. For your project, that means weight drives the disposal cost, and weekday hours shape when a full container can be emptied.
Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and go over any disposal fees before delivery.
311 N. Division St, Auburn, NY 13021
Open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.; closed weekends.
In Auburn, most rentals can be set up within one to two business days, and your container shows up in a 24 to 48 hour delivery window. Booking a few days early gives you time to clear the drop spot and handle any street permit.
A few steps make delivery day easy:
Watch the calendar, too. The Auburn Transfer Station is closed on weekends, so a container you fill on Friday afternoon may wait until Monday to be hauled.

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.
In Auburn, our dumpster rentals 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. Debris type and per-ton disposal fees also affect your total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates before delivery.
A single light load can be cheap to drive to the Transfer Station yourself. A bigger job is a different story. You'll need a decal, you'll pay by the ton on every trip, and the station closes at 2:30 p.m. on weekdays. One dumpster usually costs less once gas and time are counted.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a mattress, a table, chairs, and bags of household clutter. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll fill the space well before you reach the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your Auburn dumpster. New York also bans TVs, computers, monitors, and similar electronics from the trash, and whole tires can't be buried in a landfill. Needles and other sharps are never allowed. Mention appliances when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. Your final cost still depends on weight, since disposal is billed by the ton. Plaster, brick, or shingles can push a small container into overage fees, so keep the heaviest debris in a separate load when you can.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as a five-day rental. We price each job as a whole, not by the day, and the weight of your debris matters more than the rental length. Ask your account manager about the included weight and the cost of any extra days.
Most household and building debris is allowed. That covers lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, carpet, and general clutter from a cleanout. Brush and yard debris are usually fine too. If you're not sure about something, your account manager can check before it goes in the container.
