At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Chesapeake, Virginia, and the nearby South Hampton Roads cities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. New subdivisions, busy remodeling in older homes, storm cleanups, and steady commercial construction keep roll-off containers in demand for homeowners and contractors.
Your price is shaped by the container size, what you're throwing away, how long you keep the dumpster, and the regional disposal fees. Below, you'll find our price ranges, the regional authority's fees, the City's street permit, and what the local facilities won't take.

Several things play into what a Chesapeake dumpster costs.
The container size comes first. A bigger dumpster has a higher price, but the right size keeps you from paying overage fees or booking a second haul.
The kind of debris matters next, because disposal is billed by weight. Tile, plaster, and roofing weigh a lot, while furniture and cardboard mostly take up space.
Chesapeake doesn't run its own landfill. The Southeastern Public Service Authority, known as SPSA, handles disposal for the region. Its current fee sheet charges $71 per ton for household trash at its transfer stations. Construction and demolition waste goes to its Regional Landfill in Suffolk at $60 per ton, and any weighed load has a $20 minimum. That's why a remodel and a cleanout may be priced differently.
Street placement can add a fee. The City's permit fee list includes a $50 charge for a dumpster in the right-of-way. A container in your driveway doesn't need it.

Choosing a size means thinking about both volume and weight. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, a single-room cleanout, or a pile of branches after a storm. It's also the size to pick for concrete, brick, or tile, since heavy debris reaches the weight limit before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a garage cleanout, new floors, or a single-layer roof tear-off. It gives you extra room at a modest step up in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Chesapeake for whole-home cleanouts and remodels that cover several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is made for bigger renovations, additions, and new homes that produce a lot of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's meant for commercial construction, large demolition, and major property cleanouts.
Talk through the project with your account manager, and they'll help you land on the right size.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or a job site, you usually don't need a right-of-way permit in Chesapeake. You'll need one once any part of the container sits in a City street, sidewalk, or other right-of-way.
The City's Civil Permits Section, part of the Department of Development and Permits, handles right-of-way permits. You apply through the City's eBUILD online system, and the City's fee list names a dumpster in the right-of-way at $50. Parking in the right-of-way and traffic control are separate charges, so a container that blocks a lane may need more than one approval.
On an active building site, the City also offers a construction yard or construction trailer permit, which allows containers and dumpsters at the site. The Civil Permits page lists the office at 306 Cedar Road, open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The City doesn't publish a review time, so apply early. Call the Civil Permits Office at 757-382-6101 with questions. If you aren't sure whether your spot is in the right-of-way, your account manager can help you find the right contact.
Most debris from a remodel, roof job, or cleanout can go in your container. Virginia's landfill rules and SPSA's own limits decide the rest.
Virginia requires tires to be split, cut, or shredded before they're buried in a landfill. SPSA takes whole car tires only at its Regional Landfill, so keep them out of a general load and mention them when you book.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. SPSA doesn't allow regulated medical waste at any of its facilities. Paint, propane tanks, and household chemicals go to SPSA's household hazardous waste collection.
Fridges, freezers, and air conditioners that hold refrigerant need special handling and carry a per-item fee at the landfill. If anything on your list is uncertain, check with your account manager first.
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 household and mixed loads from Chesapeake go to the SPSA Chesapeake Transfer Station at 901 Hollowell Lane, Chesapeake, VA 23320. It takes commercial loads Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. You can reach it at 757-961-3943.
Construction and demolition debris goes to the SPSA Regional Landfill at 1 Bob Foeller Drive, Suffolk, VA 23434. The landfill is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon. Its phone number is 757-961-3683. According to SPSA, the site covers 833 acres and takes about 1,300 tons of waste a day.
The two sites charge different rates and accept different materials. Your account manager will confirm which one your load is headed to and explain the fees before delivery.

Most rentals in Chesapeake can be arranged within one to two business days, with delivery coming in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days early gives you time to get a right-of-way permit if you need one and prepare the site.
These tips help your delivery go smoothly:
Both SPSA sites close at noon on Saturday for commercial loads and stay closed to haulers on Sunday, so a container filled over the weekend may be picked up on Monday.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves homes and job sites from one end of Chesapeake to the other, along with neighboring South Hampton Roads cities such as Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach. We plan every delivery, pickup, and disposal trip around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll pick the right container, confirm which SPSA site takes your load, and give you a straightforward 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.
Dumpster rentals in Chesapeake cost $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 type and the regional per-ton disposal fees also affect the total. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates.
For a couple of car loads, the dump often wins, since SPSA gives residents a limited number of free visits each year. Contractors, rental property owners, and anyone hauling in a cargo van or large truck don't get that break. For a remodel or big cleanout, one dumpster saves many trips.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch takes up roughly one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a mattress, a couple of armchairs, and flattened boxes. Upholstered furniture is bulky but not heavy, so space runs out before weight does.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, propane tanks, and asbestos out of your Chesapeake dumpster. SPSA also refuses medical waste at all its sites. Whole tires and fridges need special handling, so tell us about them when you book your container.
The 10-yard dumpster starts lowest, at $399 to $499. Disposal is charged by the ton, though, so a small container full of tile or plaster can still bring overage fees. Keeping construction debris separate from household trash can also help, since the two are priced differently.
A three-day rental normally costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price each dumpster by the job, not the night, and weight has a bigger impact on your bill than the rental length. Ask your account manager about the included tonnage.
Most renovation and cleanout debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, plaster, tile, shingles, carpet, cabinets, and furniture. Fencing, tree limbs, small amounts of concrete, and scrap metal are also accepted locally. Your account manager can confirm anything you're unsure about before you load it.
