At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Columbus, Ohio, and the rest of Franklin County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards.

Add apartment turnovers and steady construction along Morse Road and the I-270 corridor, and roll-off containers stay in demand for homeowners and contractors.

A handful of Columbus details decide what your rental costs.
First is size. When one container fits everything, you won't pay for an extra haul.
Second is what you're tossing. Since fall 2025, construction and demolition debris can't go to the county's transfer stations. It has to go straight to the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill, which charges $39.75 per ton. Household cleanout trash can go to the Morse Road Transfer Station instead, at $52.75 per ton.
Third is the drive. The landfill sits south of the city near Grove City, so a construction load from the north side travels across the county.
Fourth is local rules. Columbus requires an authorized hauler for construction waste, and a container in the street needs a City permit. Your account manager will explain both before you book.

Size the container to your debris, both how much and how heavy. Prime Dumpster carries sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is right for a bathroom remodel, a small patio tear-out, or a closet and garage sort. It's also the size for concrete, block, and brick, which reach the weight limit well before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a kitchen update, basement drywall, or carpet from a few rooms. It gives you extra space for a small step up in cost.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a popular size for Columbus homes. It fits a whole-house cleanout, a remodel across several rooms, or the shingles from a typical roof.
The 30-Yard Dumpster covers big renovations, additions, and new home builds. It's a smart choice when a job creates lots of bulky, mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the biggest we offer. Contractors use it for commercial builds, full demolition, and large property cleanouts.
Need help picking? Tell your account manager about the job, and they'll recommend a size.
A dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or a job site lot, usually doesn't need a City permit in Columbus. You'll need one if any part of the container sits in a street, alley, or sidewalk.
The City of Columbus Department of Public Service issues a 903 Occupancy Permit for temporary use of the right-of-way without digging. The City lists dumpsters and storage containers among the uses it covers. You apply through the City's online permitting portal.
For questions, call the Right-of-Way Permit Office at 614-645-7497, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Your account manager can help you find the right contact before your delivery date.
Most remodeling and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from Ohio's landfill rules and from what the county landfill accepts.
The Franklin County Sanitary Landfill turns away hazardous waste, asbestos, liquids, motor oil, car batteries, gas cylinders that aren't empty, and uncleaned drums or buckets. It also refuses TVs, computers, and other electronics, plus tires, yard waste, and appliances that still hold Freon.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either.
Latex paint is the one exception to the paint rule at the landfill, but only once it has fully dried. Leave the brush, grass clippings, and leaves out of your container, since yard waste isn't landfilled here.
If you're not sure about an item, check with 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.
Construction and demolition loads from Columbus go to the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill at 3851 London Groveport Road, Grove City, OH 43123. The Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio, a public agency, runs it. The landfill phone is 614-875-8563, and it's open Monday through Friday, 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 6 a.m. to noon.
Household cleanout loads from the north side may go to the Morse Road Transfer Station at 4262 Morse Road, Columbus, OH 43230. It's open weekdays, 5 a.m. to 3 p.m., and only haulers with a credit account can use it. The transfer station no longer takes construction debris.
Every load has to be tarped, or the landfill adds a fee. Your account manager will confirm which facility your load is headed to and explain the costs before delivery.

We can usually schedule a Columbus rental within one to two business days, with drop-off in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days early leaves time for a right-of-way permit if you need one.
Tips for an easy delivery:
The landfill closes at noon on Saturdays and stays closed on Sundays, so weekend loads usually go out 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.
A 10-yard dumpster in Columbus runs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. Your debris type and the county's per-ton disposal fees shape the final price. Your account manager will confirm included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For most projects, renting is cheaper. The county transfer stations don't serve residents, and the landfill is a long drive south from the north side. A single roll-off saves you trips, tarps, and time at the scale.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. That leaves space for a recliner, a mattress, and boxes of clutter. Furniture takes up room well before it gets heavy enough to matter.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, wet paint, solvents, fuel, asbestos, motor oil, and car batteries. The county landfill also refuses TVs, computers, tires, yard waste, and appliances with Freon. Your account manager can help you plan for these items.
Our 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. Your final bill still depends on weight. Concrete, block, and shingles can push a small container past its limit. Loading heavy debris by itself often keeps your cost down.
Three days usually costs the same as five, because each rental is priced by the job. Disposal is billed by the ton, so what you load matters more than how long you keep it. Ask your account manager about included weight and overage rates.
Most household and construction debris is allowed in Columbus. That includes lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general junk. Concrete and brick are fine too. If you aren't sure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in.
