Older homes near the Puget Sound shoreline get new roofs and kitchens, and ongoing construction and cleanout work keeps roll-off containers in steady use.

Here's what shapes the price of a dumpster in Burien.
Size is the first piece. A larger container costs more, but choosing the right one helps you avoid overage fees or a second haul.
Weight is the second. Wet Northwest debris, like soaked roofing, old plaster, and yard waste after a rainy week, gets heavy. The heavier the load, the more of your weight allowance it uses.
King County fees shape the rest. Trash from Burien goes into the county's disposal system, and for 2026 the county charges self-haul customers $243.38 per ton with a $40.25 minimum. The same page adds a $25 fee for any load that shows up uncovered. Those are county disposal fees, not rental prices, but they show why heavy debris costs more to get rid of.
A street permit can add a bit, too. If your container has to sit in the street or on a sidewalk, Burien charges a permit fee, which is covered below.

Weight Limit: Up to 2 tons (4,000 lbs)

Truck Loads: Roughly 3 pickup truck loads.

Choosing a size means thinking about how much debris you'll fill it with and how heavy that debris is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is right for a small bathroom remodel, a spare room cleanout, or a pile of brush. It's also the best pick for concrete, brick, and dirt, since heavy material reaches the weight limit before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a garage cleanout, a deck tear-down, or a small roof. You get more space without a large jump in cost.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Burien for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that touch several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster takes on big renovations, additions, and new home construction with lots of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size. It's made for commercial builds, full demolition, and big property cleanouts.
Unsure which size fits? Tell your account manager about the job, and they'll steer you to the right container.
A dumpster on private property, like your driveway or yard, generally doesn't need a City permit in Burien. If it sits in the street, an alley, or on a sidewalk, you'll need a right-of-way use permit from the City of Burien.
The City's right-of-way permit guide prices permits by type of use, not by what's placed. A short-term commercial use of 72 hours or less costs $100, and a one-year permit for longer use that doesn't disturb the street costs $75. Inspection time adds $75 an hour. Public Works staff decide which type fits your container.
Timing matters here. The City asks for applications at least 30 days before the street or sidewalk is used, and it aims to issue a permit within three weeks of a complete application. You apply online through MyBuildingPermit.
For questions, call the Burien Permit Center at 206-241-4647, Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Your account manager can help you decide whether your spot counts as right-of-way and find the right City contact.
Most debris from a remodel or cleanout is fine to load. The limits come from Washington's disposal rules and from King County, which runs the facilities that take Burien's trash.
King County's disposal restrictions turn away TVs, computers, monitors, laptops, cell phones, and tablets. Businesses can't throw away tires at all, and large truck tires aren't accepted from anyone. Loads with more than six mattresses in a day need the county's approval first.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, propane tanks, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. Treated wood and fluorescent bulbs are on the county's restricted list, too.
Bow Lake also asks that cardboard, clean wood, scrap metal, and yard waste be sorted out for recycling instead of tossed in as trash. If you can keep those separate, tell us when you book.
Have an item you're not sure about? 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.
Burien's own code names the King County disposal system as the place for all trash from inside the city. For Burien, that usually means the Bow Lake Recycling & Transfer Station at 18800 Orillia Road S, Tukwila, WA 98188. King County's facility fact sheet lists Burien among the cities it serves, and it's the busiest station in the county system.
The transfer building is open 24 hours Monday through Thursday, midnight to 11:30 p.m. on Friday, and 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekends. The recycling area keeps shorter hours, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays. For questions, call the King County Solid Waste Information Line at 206-477-4466.
Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and explain any fees before delivery.

Transfer building open 24 hours Monday through Thursday; weekends 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Most dumpster rentals in Burien can be arranged within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A driveway drop can move quickly. A street drop needs the City permit first, so plan ahead.
These tips help your delivery go smoothly:
Bow Lake stays open around the clock most weekdays, so weekday hauls rarely wait on the station. Weekend hours are shorter, so a container filled late on a Sunday may not move until Monday.

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 Burien start at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and go up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. What you throw away and King County's per-ton disposal fees also affect your total. Your account manager confirms the tonnage and overage rates.
For one small load, driving it to Bow Lake yourself can cost less. Most projects take several trips, though, and each one adds a county minimum charge, fuel, and a few hours of your day. One dumpster lets you load at your own pace and have it all hauled away at once.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a mattress, a table, and several boxes. Furniture is bulky but fairly light, so space runs out well before the weight limit.
In Burien, keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, and asbestos out of your dumpster. King County also won't take TVs, computers, monitors, or phones. Tires and large numbers of mattresses have their own limits, so mention them to your account manager when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. The weight of your load still matters, because King County charges by the ton. A small container full of wet roofing or concrete can go over its limit, so keep heavy debris in its own load to save.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, because we price by the job, not the day. Weight changes your bill more than the calendar does. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what extra tons cost.
Most household and construction debris is fine, including lumber, drywall, siding, cabinets, carpet, roofing, furniture, and general cleanout junk. Concrete and dirt are allowed too, but they're heavy, so let us know ahead of time. Your account manager can confirm any item you're unsure about.
