At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Cincinnati, Ohio, and the surrounding Hamilton County and Northern Kentucky communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Century-old brick homes on the west side, hillside rehabs, basement and attic cleanouts, and steady construction work across the city keep roll-off containers busy year round.
Four things shape your price: the container size, the kind of debris, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees where the load is dumped. Below, you'll find price ranges, City rules for street placement, and the items local landfills turn away.

Here's what drives the cost of a dumpster in Cincinnati.
The size you pick comes first. A larger container costs more, yet one that's too small can lead to overage charges or a second haul.
Weight comes next. Old plaster, brick, slate roofing, and concrete are heavy, and many older Cincinnati homes are full of them. Disposal is billed by weight, so tell us about dense debris up front.
The disposal site matters too. Household trash and mixed loads usually go to a sanitary landfill, while clean building debris can go to a construction and demolition debris landfill. Both types operate in Hamilton County, and they charge different fees.
Street placement adds a step. If the container has to sit on a City street, it needs a City permit first, and that permit is only good for 14 days. We explain the details below.
Perfect For:
Weight Limit: Up to 2 tons (4,000 lbs)
Bags of Trash: Approximately 50-70 large trash bags.
Truck Loads: Roughly 3 pickup truck loads.
*These are general estimates and can vary depending on the type of trash being disposed of and how tightly it’s packed.

Think about how much debris you'll have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is right for a bathroom tear-out, a single-room cleanout, or brick and concrete work. Heavy debris fills its weight limit well before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a garage or basement cleanout, a flooring job, or a small roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common pick in Cincinnati for gutting a kitchen or clearing out a whole house.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles full rehabs, additions, and new construction with a mix of materials.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest size we offer. It's made for commercial work, big demolition jobs, and large building cleanouts.
Let your account manager know about the job, and they'll help you pick the right fit.
A dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or a job site lot, doesn't need a City permit. Once it moves into the street, a curb lane, or onto a sidewalk, the City's Department of Transportation and Engineering is involved.
Cincinnati draws a clear line here. A construction and demolition roll-off can sit in the right-of-way for a short time, but only after it gets an open street permit from the department. Regular trash dumpsters can't be placed in the right-of-way at all.
Permits for work in the right-of-way are issued to contractors who hold a City street contractor license, and a dumpster permit lasts 14 days. The department's Permit and License Center is at 801 Plum Street, Suite 425, open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
For questions, call the Permit and License Center at 513-352-3463. Your account manager can help you confirm the right contact and plan around the 14-day window.
Most household and building debris can go in your container. Ohio's rules and the landfill that receives your load set the limits.
Ohio law bans open dumping, so waste has to go to a licensed facility. State law also keeps lead-acid batteries, like car batteries, out of solid waste disposal, and scrap tires must go to an approved tire facility.
Hamilton County Public Health lists what local landfills refuse. Sanitary landfills won't take yard waste, tires, liquids, or hazardous waste. Construction debris landfills are stricter, so furniture, appliances, household trash, yard waste, tires, and batteries can't go in a construction debris load.
Hazardous waste, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos don't belong in a standard dumpster either.
Unsure about something? Ask your account manager before you load it.
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.
Hamilton County Public Health licenses the landfills in the county each year and inspects them for odors, litter, and other problems.
Most household trash from the Cincinnati area goes to the large sanitary landfill in Colerain Township, north of the city. County health officials report it has about 118 million cubic yards of space left.
Clean construction and demolition debris has other options. The county licenses several construction debris landfills and processing sites, which take materials like concrete, brick, drywall, lumber, roofing, and wiring. A load of pure building debris can often go there instead of a sanitary landfill.
Which site fits depends on what's in your container. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and explain the disposal fees before delivery.
Most Cincinnati rentals can be booked within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days early leaves time for a street permit if you need one.
A few tips for a smooth delivery:
The 14-day permit window matters for longer jobs. If your project runs past two weeks, plan a swap or pickup before the permit ends.

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.
Our Cincinnati rentals range 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. Debris weight and landfill fees also affect your total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For a job bigger than a load or two, a dumpster is usually cheaper. Hauling it yourself means disposal fees on each trip, plus gas and a long drive out to Colerain Township. With a dumpster, you load at your own pace and we haul it all at once.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch uses only about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll have space left for a mattress, an armchair, and several boxes. Bulky furniture takes up room, but it rarely comes close to the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Ohio also keeps car batteries and scrap tires out of regular disposal, and local landfills refuse yard waste. Tell your account manager about batteries, tires, or appliances before you load them.
The 10-yard dumpster is the most affordable at $399 to $499. Your final cost still depends on weight. A small container packed with plaster or brick can go past its weight limit, so keeping heavy debris in its own load can help.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as our standard five-day rental, since we price per job and not per day. Weight has the bigger effect on your bill. Ask your account manager how much tonnage is included and the rate for extra weight.
Everyday construction and household debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture, and general junk. Brick and concrete are fine too, often in a separate load. Your account manager can check any item you're unsure about.
