At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Baltimore, Maryland, from Park Heights and Mount Washington to the rest of the city, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Baltimore's older rowhomes, steady rehab work on vacant properties, and ongoing construction across the city keep contractors and homeowners busy with gut jobs, roof tear-offs, and whole-house cleanouts.
Your price comes down to four things: the container size, what you throw away, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the city landfill. Below, you can find price ranges, the City's street permit rules, and the items the landfill turns away.

In Baltimore, the final bill is shaped by your container choice, your debris, and the rules at the city's landfill.
Start with size. A container that's too small means a second haul, and one that's far too big means paying for space you never use.
Weight is the next piece. Plaster walls, slate, and old roofing from a rowhome rehab get heavy fast. Most rentals include a set tonnage, and anything over that is billed as overage.
The landfill matters too. Large haulers in the city must take loads to the Quarantine Road Landfill, run by the Baltimore City Department of Public Works. The City lists a general disposal fee of $67.50 per ton there. That fee is built into what you pay for disposal.
Street placement can add cost as well. A dumpster on a City street needs a right-of-way permit, and the Department of Transportation lists the dumpster permit at $65.00 per week.

Match the container to both the amount of debris and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits a single-room job, like a bathroom gut or a basement cleanout. It's also the size to pick for heavy material, since a small load of masonry can reach the weight limit before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a kitchen remodel, a garage cleanout, or new flooring throughout a floor of the house. It gives you more room without a big jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice for Baltimore rowhome rehabs and whole-house cleanouts. It holds the debris from several rooms at once.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for major renovations, additions, and new home construction. Pick it when a project mixes lumber, drywall, and roofing in large amounts.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container. It's meant for commercial builds, demolition, and large cleanouts of warehouses or apartment buildings.
Still deciding? Your account manager can look at your project and recommend a size.
When the dumpster sits on private property, such as your driveway, a rear parking pad, or a fenced job site, you usually don't need a permit. Plenty of Baltimore homes have no driveway, though, so many containers end up on the street.
Any container on a City street, sidewalk, or alley needs a Temporary Use of the Right of Way permit from the Baltimore City Department of Transportation. The Right of Way Services Division lists dumpsters among the items it permits, and you apply through the City's online OpenGov system. Read the details on the right-of-way permits page.
The City says standard processing takes 15 days, so apply well before your delivery date. The fee schedule lists a dumpster at $65.00 per week.
For questions, call the Right of Way Services permit team at 410-396-4508. If you aren't sure whether your spot is public or private, your account manager can help you reach the right office.
Most renovation and cleanout debris is fine. What's left out comes from Maryland's landfill rules and from the list the City landfill posts.
Maryland bans scrap tires from landfills, so tires need to go to a tire recycler. Keep them out of your container.
The Quarantine Road Landfill turns away hazardous waste such as paint, solvents, pesticides, acids, and gasoline. It also refuses asbestos in any form, propane and helium tanks, fire extinguishers, medical waste, drums, and liquid waste. Lead-based materials are on its refusal list too, which matters when you're stripping old trim or windows.
One local rule surprises people. The City landfill doesn't take dirt, concrete, bricks, stone, or gravel. If your job produces masonry or soil, keep it in its own container so it can go to a facility that takes it.

Most roll-off loads from Baltimore go to the Quarantine Road Landfill, which the Department of Public Works runs at 6100 Quarantine Road, Baltimore, MD 21226. The City's drop-off center page says all large haulers must use this landfill. It's open Monday through Saturday and closes at 3:30 p.m. You can reach it at 410-396-3772.
The landfill charges by the ton and keeps a strict list of what it won't take. Because concrete, brick, and dirt aren't accepted there, heavy masonry loads are handled on their own.
Your account manager can confirm where your load is headed and explain the disposal costs before the container arrives.
6100 Quarantine Road, Baltimore, MD 21226
City of Baltimore landfill; open Monday through Saturday, closing at 3:30 p.m.
Most Baltimore rentals can be booked within one to two business days, and the container shows up in a 24 to 48 hour window. If your dumpster needs a street permit, book early so the permit is in hand first.
A few tips for a smooth drop-off:
Keep the landfill's hours in mind as well. The Quarantine Road Landfill closes at 3:30 p.m. and is closed on Sundays, so a container filled late on Saturday may wait until 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.
A dumpster in Baltimore runs 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 and the landfill's per-ton fee also affect the total. A street permit adds a weekly City fee. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage when you book.
For small loads, a trip to the dump can cost less. For a remodel or cleanout, a dumpster usually wins. Each landfill trip means loading, driving, and paying by weight, and the City limits how many loads a resident can bring. One container handles the whole job.
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 dresser, and bagged junk. Furniture fills space quickly but weighs little, so you'll run out of room before you hit the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. In Baltimore, the City landfill also refuses lead-based materials, propane tanks, and fire extinguishers. Tires are banned from Maryland landfills. Dirt, concrete, and brick need their own load, so mention them when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced option, at $399 to $499. Your total still depends on weight. Plaster, slate, and masonry add up fast and can push you into overage fees. Loading heavy material separately is often the best way to save.
Three days usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. Dumpsters are priced by the job, and weight drives the bill more than time does. Before delivery, ask your account manager how many tons are included and what each extra ton costs.
Most home and building debris is allowed. That covers lumber, drywall, plaster, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general household junk. Concrete, brick, and dirt are fine in a dumpster, but they must go in a separate load because the City landfill won't take them. Your account manager can check any item.
