A dumpster price in Central is built from a few parts.
First is the size. A larger container costs more, but one that's too small can lead to a second haul and a bigger bill overall.
Second is weight. Wet yard debris, shingles, and broken concrete are heavy, so they use up your weight allowance quickly. Furniture and household clutter fill space without adding much weight.
Third is the landfill. Loads from Central go to the parish's North Landfill in Zachary. Its rules and fee sheet lists $44.00 per ton for in-parish waste, with a $22.00 minimum for loads up to 1,000 pounds. That's the parish's fee at the scale, not a rental price.
The landfill also sets a few rules that shape your quote. It doesn't take commercial tires, and it charges extra for tires that aren't declared, so mention any tires when you book.
Perfect For:
Weight Limit: Up to 2 tons (4,000 lbs)

Think about the volume and the weight of what you're throwing away. Prime Dumpster offers five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is sized for a bathroom remodel, one room of clutter, or a load of broken concrete from an old walkway. Dense material fills the weight limit before it fills the container.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a garage cleanout, a flooring job, or a small roof tear-off, with extra room at a modest price step.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a popular size in Central for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that span several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles big renovations, additions, and new home construction with a steady stream of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest container we rent. It's made for commercial projects, demolition, and big land or property cleanups.
Give your account manager a quick rundown of the job, and they'll suggest the best size.
If your dumpster sits on private property, such as your driveway or a building lot, you usually won't need a permit for the container itself in Central. Placing it on a street or other public right-of-way is a different matter, so check first.
The City of Central handles permits through its Permits and Inspections office at the Municipal Service Center, 6703 Sullivan Road. The City's permits page lists building, roofing, and demolition permits, plus disturbance permits for work like tree removal, grading, and moving more than 12 cubic yards of soil. It doesn't list a separate permit for a dumpster or for using the street.
If your project needs a building, roofing, or demolition permit, your contractor will usually handle it. For questions about placing a container near the road, call Permits and Inspections at 225-262-5000, extension 1. Your account manager can also help you find the right contact.
Most remodeling, roofing, and cleanout debris can go in your container. Louisiana's landfill rules and the North Landfill's own list set the limits.
Louisiana's landfill rules keep hazardous waste and most liquids out of landfills. The state also doesn't allow unprocessed waste tires to be buried, which is why tires must come off the rim and are handled separately.
The North Landfill won't accept batteries, uncrushed or dirty metal drums, friable asbestos, medical waste, industrial waste, paint, paint thinner, liquids, or solid chemicals without written approval from the parish. It also refuses commercial and industrial tires.
Appliances like refrigerators and freezers are accepted only after the doors and all refrigerants are removed. Keep solvents and fuel out too, and ask your account manager about anything you're unsure of before it goes in.
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.
Most dumpster loads from Central go to the East Baton Rouge Parish North Landfill at 16001 Samuels Road, Zachary, LA 70791, run by the City of Baton Rouge and Parish of East Baton Rouge Department of Environmental Services. It's about a 12-mile drive northwest of Central.
The landfill opens Monday through Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Customers without a landfill account can pay by check or card only from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays. It's closed on Sundays, New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and it no longer takes cash. The phone number is 225-389-3000.
Anyone dropping off at the landfill has to unload their own waste, which is one more reason a dumpster is easier for a big job. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain the fees before delivery.
16001 Samuels Road, Zachary, LA 70791
Open Monday through Friday, 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.; no cash.
Most dumpster rentals in Central can be arranged within one to two business days, and the container arrives in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days ahead gives you time to plan the drop spot and check any permits your project needs.
Use these tips to keep things on schedule:
Keep the landfill's hours in mind. It's closed on Sundays, so a container filled on Saturday afternoon may not be emptied until early the next week.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves homes and job sites throughout Central and the nearby East Baton Rouge Parish area, including Zachary to the northwest, where the parish landfill sits. We plan delivery, pickup, and disposal around your schedule, wherever your project is.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll help you choose a container, plan for the parish landfill, and give you a clear price.
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.
Rentals in Central 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. Your debris and the per-ton fee at the parish landfill in Zachary also affect the price. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For most projects, a dumpster costs less in the end. The North Landfill charges a minimum on every load, takes no cash, and makes you unload your own debris by hand. A few trips in a pickup can take several days. One container lets you fill it at home and have it hauled once.
Yes, it fits easily. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser, and bags of clutter. Bulky furniture usually fills a container long before it gets close to the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, paint thinner, solvents, fuel, batteries, and asbestos. The parish landfill also refuses medical waste, chemicals, and commercial tires. Louisiana doesn't allow whole tires to be buried, and refrigerators need their refrigerants removed first. Tell us about tires and appliances when you book.
Our 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. It's a good match for small jobs and heavy debris. The landfill charges by weight, though, so a small container full of shingles or soaked yard waste can still go over its allowance. Keep heavy material in mind.
In most cases, a three-day rental costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price by the job, not the day, and the weight of your debris moves the final bill more than the rental length. Ask your account manager about included weight and extra days.
Most construction and household debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and yard waste. The North Landfill takes residential waste, small tree limbs, and white goods once refrigerants are removed. If you're not sure about an item, your account manager can check before you load it.
