At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Calhoun, Kentucky, and the rest of McLean County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Calhoun is the county seat, set on the north bank of the Green River, and its homes, farms, and small businesses all produce big piles of debris from time to time. Roof replacements, barn and shed teardowns, estate cleanouts, and new construction keep roll-off containers busy here.
The cost of your rental depends on the container size, what you're throwing out, how long the job runs, and the disposal fees where your load is dropped off. We'll walk through prices, street placement, banned items, and the county's transfer site below.

A handful of things decide what a Calhoun dumpster rental costs you.
The container comes first. Each step up in size adds to the base price. Still, a container that's too small can mean a second trip, which costs more in the end.
Next is the debris itself. Old barn boards, wet hay, roofing, and broken concrete all weigh more than you'd expect. Heavy loads burn through the weight allowance, and anything over it adds an overage charge.
Then there's disposal. Loads from Calhoun often start at the McLean County Transfer Site on Highway 136 in Calhoun. The county sets its own prices there, so your account manager will confirm the current fees for your load.
Rental length plays a smaller part. Our prices cover five days, and most home projects wrap up in that time. If you need longer, just ask when you book.

The right size depends on how much you're hauling off and how dense it is. Prime Dumpster offers five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a small bathroom redo, a porch or deck teardown, or a spring cleanup. Choose it for concrete, brick, or gravel, because a heavy load maxes out the weight long before it fills the container.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for mid-size jobs, like emptying a packed garage, pulling up old flooring, or reroofing a small home.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a solid pick for a full estate cleanout, a kitchen and bath remodel together, or a shed that's coming down.
The 30-Yard Dumpster has room for a large renovation, new home construction, or tearing down an old outbuilding on a farm property.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It's built for commercial work, large demolition, and cleanups at farms and businesses that produce a lot of bulky waste.
Still weighing your options? Your account manager can look at the job with you and suggest a size.
A dumpster placed on private property, such as your driveway, yard, or farm lot, generally doesn't need a permit in Calhoun. Most customers here have room to keep the container off the road.
Things are different if the container has to sit on a City street or in the right-of-way. The City of Calhoun doesn't list a dumpster or street-use permit on its forms page. It does offer a building permit application and requires a yearly business license, so a quick call before delivery is the safe move.
City Hall is at 325 West 2nd Street, open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 270-273-3092 to ask whether your spot needs approval.
If your street turns out to be a state or county road, the City may point you to another office. Your account manager can help you find the right contact for your address.
Most household junk and building debris is fine to load. The limits come from Kentucky's waste rules and from what the county site will take.
Kentucky's Energy and Environment Cabinet tells residents to take car batteries back to the store when they buy a new one, instead of throwing them out. Tires are handled through the state's waste tire program, so keep them out of your dumpster and ask us about other options.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. That includes old pesticide jugs, motor oil, and gas cans from the barn or garage.
Appliances that hold refrigerant, like freezers and window air conditioners, need special handling. Mention them when you book.
If you aren't sure about an 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.
McLean County runs the McLean County Transfer Site at 1508 Hwy 136, Calhoun, KY 42327, at the County Road Department. The county's transfer site page lists hours of Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to noon. For questions, call 270-273-5028.
The site also takes cardboard for recycling. The county holds recycling days on Saturdays in Beech Grove, Sacramento, Island, and Livermore.
Because the county posts its prices at the site, your account manager will confirm where your load is headed, what materials are accepted, and what the fees are before delivery.
1508 Hwy 136, Calhoun, KY 42327
Run by McLean County. Open Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to noon.
We can usually schedule a Calhoun delivery within one to two business days, and the truck arrives in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days ahead helps if you need to check on street placement, and it can save you money.
Here's how to make delivery day easy:
Plan around the county site's hours, too. It closes at noon on Saturdays and stays closed on Sundays, so a container filled late on a Friday may not be emptied 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.
Calhoun 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. The weight of your debris and local disposal fees also affect the total. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
If the job fits in one pickup load, hauling it yourself can work. Bigger projects are a different story. Each run to the county site means loading, unloading, fuel, and a disposal fee. A dumpster in your driveway handles the whole project with one pickup.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. There's still room for a recliner, a mattress, and boxes of clutter. With furniture, you'll fill the space long before you hit the weight limit.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, pesticides, and asbestos. Car batteries go back to a retailer in Kentucky, and tires need to stay out as well. Freezers and air conditioners that hold refrigerant need special handling, so mention them to your account manager.
The 10-yard dumpster costs the least, starting at $399 to $499. What you load still matters. Concrete, gravel, or wet debris can push a small container over its weight allowance and add overage fees. Loading heavy material separately is often the cheaper route.
A three-day rental is usually priced the same as a five-day rental, since we charge by the job instead of the day. Your bill depends more on weight than on how long you keep the container. Ask your account manager about included tonnage before delivery.
Most common debris is allowed in a Calhoun dumpster, including lumber, drywall, shingles, siding, flooring, furniture, and general household junk. Brush and yard waste are usually fine too. Clean concrete and brick are accepted, but they're heavy, so check the weight limit with your account manager first.
