| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |

These are the local details that move the price of a Chattanooga rental.
Size comes first. A container big enough for the whole job saves you from paying for a second haul.
Next is the type of debris. Chattanooga splits waste by type. Household junk from a cleanout can go to the City Landfill, which charges $40 per ton with a $30.50 minimum. Building debris goes to a separate construction landfill next door.
Then there's weight. Shingles, block, and wet drywall add up fast and use up the tonnage included in your rental.
Finally, the street. A container that blocks part of a street or sidewalk needs a City permit, and the City asks for two weeks' notice when a traffic plan is involved. Your account manager will help you plan for it.

Pick a size by how much debris the job will create and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, a small deck removal, or a spare-room cleanout. It's also the size for concrete, block, and brick, which reach the weight limit before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a kitchen remodel, a garage cleanout, or flooring from a few rooms. It adds space for a modest step up in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a popular size in Chattanooga. It handles a whole-house cleanout, a remodel across several rooms, or the shingles from a typical roof.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits additions, big renovations, and new home builds. It's a good choice for jobs that produce lots of bulky, mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. Builders use it for commercial construction, full demolition, and large retail or office cleanouts.
Not sure which size fits? Your account manager can recommend one once you describe the job.
A dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or a job site lot, usually doesn't need a City permit in Chattanooga. That changes when any part of it blocks a street or sidewalk.
The City of Chattanooga requires a Work Zone Permit to block part of a street or sidewalk for work or construction. The City says this includes placing a dumpster or storage POD in the right-of-way. Permits that need a traffic control plan require at least two weeks' notice, so apply well before your delivery date.
After you apply, the Transportation Department will contact you about next steps. For questions, call Chattanooga Transportation at 423-643-5950. Your account manager can help you figure out whether your spot is in the right-of-way and who to call.
Most remodeling and household debris is fine. The limits come from Tennessee's rules and from the landfill that receives your load.
Tennessee doesn't allow whole tires in any landfill. They have to go to a tire processor or a county tire collection site, so keep them out of your container.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either.
The City Landfill also refuses batteries, gas tanks, and flammable liquids. Hamilton County residents can take household chemicals to the City's Household Hazardous Waste Facility for free. Large appliances should be kept separate and mentioned when you book.

The City Landfill, run by the City of Chattanooga, sits at 9327 Birchwood Pike, Harrison, TN, northeast of downtown. It's open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and closed on weekends and City holidays. The landfill phone is 423-602-0426.
It takes household garbage, but the City doesn't let residents bring construction and demolition debris there. Building debris goes instead to a privately run construction landfill right next door. Every load must be tarped, and the landfill doesn't take cash.
Because the two sites take different waste, it helps to know what's going in your container. Your account manager will confirm the destination for your load and explain the fees before delivery.
9327 Birchwood Pike, Harrison, TN
City of Chattanooga landfill for household garbage, open weekdays 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Most Chattanooga rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with drop-off in a 24 to 48 hour window. If your container has to go in the street, start the permit two weeks ahead.
Tips for an easy delivery:
The City Landfill is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so a container filled over the weekend usually goes out on 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.
In Chattanooga, a 10-yard dumpster runs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. Your type of debris and the landfill's per-ton fees also affect the price. Your account manager will confirm included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
Renting usually costs less for anything past a load or two. The landfill is only open on weekdays, it charges a minimum on every load, and City residents can't bring building debris there. A roll-off takes the whole job in one haul.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch uses about one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. There's still room for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture fills the space long before it gets heavy enough to matter.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Tennessee also keeps whole tires out of landfills, and the City Landfill turns away batteries and gas tanks. Your account manager can help you plan for those items.
The 10-yard dumpster has our lowest price, at $399 to $499. Your final cost still depends on weight. Block, brick, and shingles can push a small container over its limit. A separate load for heavy debris often keeps the cost down.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as five days, because we price by the job. The weight of your debris affects the bill more than the calendar does. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and overage rates before delivery.
Most home and building debris is allowed in a Chattanooga dumpster. That covers lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general junk. Concrete and brick are fine too. If you're unsure about an item, check with your account manager before it goes in.
