At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the rest of East Baton Rouge Parish in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Storm and flood repairs, remodels in Mid City and the Garden District, student rental turnovers near LSU, and steady commercial construction keep our containers busy all year.
Your price depends on the container size, what you're throwing away, how long you keep the dumpster, and the disposal fees at the parish landfill. We'll go over our price ranges, the City-Parish rules for streets and home driveways, what the landfill refuses, and where your load ends up.

These local factors shape what you'll pay in Baton Rouge.
Start with the container. A bigger size costs more, but it's usually cheaper than squeezing a job into a small container and paying for a second haul.
Weight comes next. Wet drywall, flooring, and furniture after a flood are much heavier than they look. So are roofing shingles and brick. Heavy debris uses up your tonnage allowance quickly.
Disposal fees are set by the City-Parish. At the North Landfill, commercial loads are charged $2.20 per 100 pounds with a 1,000-pound minimum. Tires cost $6.00 per 100 pounds, and undeclared tires carry an extra charge.
Local rules can matter too. The City-Parish limits how long a dumpster can sit at a home and licenses the companies that haul trash. Your account manager can explain what applies to your address.

Pick a size based on how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for a bathroom remodel, a small shed or porch tear-down, or clearing out a spare room. It's also the right choice for brick or broken concrete, since heavy loads reach the weight limit early.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a garage cleanout, new flooring in several rooms, or a small roof. It gives you extra space without the price of a 20.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Baton Rouge for full house cleanouts and water damage repairs that touch several rooms. Most home projects fit in it.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits big renovations, additions, and new home construction. It's a good match when a crew is pulling out drywall, cabinets, and flooring at the same time.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest option. It handles commercial construction, full demolitions, and large industrial or warehouse cleanouts.
Not sure what you need? Tell your account manager about the job, and they'll recommend a size.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway, you usually won't need a street permit in Baton Rouge. There is a time limit to know about, though. At a home in a single-family zone, a dumpster can't stay more than 45 days unless you have an active renovation or construction permit. With that permit, it can stay as long as the permit runs.
A container that closes or blocks part of a street is different. That calls for a Street Closure Permit, approved by the Traffic Engineering Division and other City-Parish offices. Downtown locations also need sign-off from the Downtown Development District.
Plan ahead so the approvals are in hand before delivery. For questions, call Traffic Engineering at 225-389-3246. Your account manager can help you find the right contact or a driveway spot that avoids the street.
Most remodeling, storm cleanup, and household debris is fine. The limits come from the parish landfill's rules and from state and federal environmental standards.
The North Landfill refuses hazardous waste, asbestos materials, liquids, industrial waste, and materials contaminated with PCBs. Tires and appliances must be handled under Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality rules, and the landfill charges extra for tires.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. That includes old paint cans, pool chemicals, and lawn mower gas.
After a storm, sort out spoiled food, appliances, and electronics before you load. Mention them when you book so your account manager can plan the right disposal.
If you have a question about any item, ask your account manager before it goes in the container.
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.
Many loads from Baton Rouge go to the East Baton Rouge Parish North Landfill at 16001 Samuels Road, Zachary, LA 70791. The City-Parish runs it, and it accepts both household and commercial waste.
The landfill is open Monday through Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. It's closed on Sundays, New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Loads are weighed, and anyone entering the working area needs safety gear.
Your account manager can confirm where your load is headed and go over the fees before delivery.
16001 Samuels Road, Zachary, LA 70791
City-Parish landfill; open weekdays 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
We can often schedule a Baton Rouge rental within one to two business days, with your container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. After a big storm, demand across the parish jumps, so calling early is the best way to get on the schedule.
Keep these tips in mind:
The North Landfill is closed on Sundays, so a container filled on a Saturday afternoon usually goes out 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.
In Baton Rouge, dumpster rentals range 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. Heavy or wet debris and the parish landfill's weight-based fees affect your total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For a single pickup load of household trash, a trip to the North Landfill can be cheaper. For a remodel or storm cleanup, a dumpster usually wins. The landfill is north of the city in Zachary, and several round trips cost a lot of time and fuel. One container handles it all.
Yes. A typical couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a mattress, a dresser, and bags of household items. Dry furniture is bulky but light, so space usually runs out first. Waterlogged furniture is much heavier, so mention it when you book.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. The North Landfill also refuses PCB-contaminated materials and industrial waste. Tires and appliances need special handling and extra fees. Ask your account manager about anything you're not sure of before you load it.
The 10-yard dumpster has our lowest price at $399 to $499. What you put in still affects the total. Brick, tile, and soaked drywall can push a small container past its weight allowance and add overage charges. Keeping heavy debris separate helps you save.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price by the project, not by the day. The weight of your debris affects your bill more than the rental length. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and overage rates before delivery.
Most household and building debris is allowed in a Baton Rouge dumpster. That includes drywall, lumber, flooring, carpet, cabinets, shingles, furniture, and cardboard. Storm debris like broken fencing and siding is fine too. If you're unsure about an item, check with your account manager before you load it.
