At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding Cumberland County townships in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Historic row homes getting updated downtown, student housing near Dickinson College, and a steady stream of warehouse and home construction along the I-81 corridor keep containers busy here.
Four things set your price: the container size, the type of debris, the rental length, and the disposal fees at the landfill. Below, you'll find our prices, the Borough's street permit rules, the electronics ban, and where Cumberland County debris goes.

In Carlisle, a handful of local details move your price.
First is the size. A container that fits the full job saves you from booking a second haul later.
Weight comes second. Plaster walls, old brick, and slate from older homes near the square are heavy. They use up your included tonnage fast, so mention them when you call.
The landfill is part of the cost too. Cumberland County publishes a list of landfills and transfer stations that take waste from the county, and their fees are built into each haul.
Street placement can add a small fee. Many homes downtown have no driveway, and the Borough charges a $50 permit fee for a dumpster on a street for up to 14 days.

Think about how much debris you'll create and how heavy it will be. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, a porch teardown, or a pile of old brick and block. Dense debris hits its weight limit before the container is full, so this size is right for it.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for an attic or garage cleanout, new flooring, or a kitchen update. It adds space without much added cost.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a popular pick in Carlisle for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that span several rooms. It also covers most roof tear-offs on a single home.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles major renovations, additions, and new homes going up in the surrounding townships. It holds the lumber, drywall, and packaging a big build leaves.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. Contractors use it for commercial and warehouse projects, big demolition work, and business cleanouts.
Still unsure? Tell your account manager about the job, and they'll recommend a size.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like a driveway or rear parking pad, you generally won't need a Borough permit in Carlisle. A container on a Borough street is different.
The Borough's dumpster rules require a permit from the Code Enforcement Officer before a construction dumpster goes on a street. The container can't stick out much into a travel lane. It also needs reflective markings and a barricade light on the traffic side from sunset to sunrise.
The Borough's fee schedule adds that Public Works must approve the spot first, and each permit covers up to 14 days. For questions, call Carlisle Public Works at 717-249-4422, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Your account manager can help you find the right contact and plan the permit around your delivery date.
Most remodeling, roofing, and cleanout debris is fine for a roll-off. Pennsylvania law and the receiving landfill set the limits.
Electronics are the big one here. According to Cumberland County, state law bans TVs and computer devices from waste disposal. The County runs an electronics recycling center on Claremont Road for residents.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. Tires, car batteries, and appliances with refrigerant need separate handling, so mention them when you book.
If you're unsure 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.
Homes in the Borough use its contracted trash service for weekly pickup, but that service isn't built for a remodel's worth of debris. A roll-off gets the whole job out in one trip.
Cumberland County's regional disposal list shows where county waste can go. The closest landfill that takes construction debris is at 620 Newville Road in Newburg, west of town. Other loads go through a transfer station near Enola or to landfills in Franklin and York counties.
The destination depends on the hauler and the material. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain the disposal costs before delivery.
Most Carlisle rentals can be booked within one to two business days, and the truck arrives in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking early gives you time to get a street permit if you need one. It can also save you money.
A few tips before your delivery:
Keep weekends in mind as well. Landfill hours vary, so ask your account manager about pickup timing if you'll finish on a Saturday.

A Carlisle dumpster costs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. The weight of your debris and landfill fees can change the total. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage when you book.
A dumpster usually costs less for anything bigger than a trailer load. The nearest landfill is a drive out of town, and each visit has its own fee. One roll-off handles the whole project and saves you the trips.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll have room left for a desk, a mattress frame, and several boxes. Furniture is bulky but not dense, so space fills up long before weight does.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Pennsylvania also bans TVs and computers from disposal, so recycle them instead. Tires, car batteries, and appliances with refrigerant need special handling, so tell your account manager before you load.
The 10-yard dumpster has our lowest price, at $399 to $499. Weight still decides the final bill. A small container full of plaster or brick can go past its limit quickly. Keeping heavy debris in its own load helps you avoid overage fees.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as five days, because we price each dumpster by the job. The weight of your load matters more than the number of days. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what extra weight costs.
Most household and building debris is allowed. That includes lumber, drywall, plaster, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and cardboard. Brick and concrete are fine too, but they're heavy, so a smaller container works best. Your account manager can check anything you're unsure of.
