Here's what changes the cost of a dumpster in Cottage Grove.
Pick the size with care. A container that's too small means a second haul, and one that's far too big means paying for empty space. Tell us about the job and we'll help you land on the right one.
Weight comes next. Shingles, concrete, wet soil and tile are heavy, so they eat into the included tonnage quickly. Bulky items such as appliances and tires may carry their own charges, so bring them up when you order.
Then there's the split between trash and building debris. In Washington County, household trash goes by law to the Recycling and Energy Center in Newport, and the county adds a service charge on residential waste. That center takes no drywall, shingles or concrete, so remodeling debris travels to a permitted demolition landfill instead. Self-haulers pay a $20 minimum per load at the Newport site, which adds up over several trips.
Timing matters in spring. When the state puts seasonal weight limits on local roads, heavy trucks need a City road restriction permit, which can shift a delivery date.

The right size depends on how much you're throwing out and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom gut, a few rooms of clutter, or a broken concrete patio. Dense loads reach the weight limit before this container is full, so it keeps heavy jobs in check.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a garage cleanout, new flooring, or a small roof. It gives you more space than the 10 without jumping to a much larger container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a favorite in Cottage Grove for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that cover several rooms, including basement finishes.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles larger renovations, additions, and new home builds where lumber, drywall and packaging stack up fast.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest option. It's made for commercial projects, full teardowns, and large cleanouts at warehouses or plants.
Still deciding? Walk your account manager through the project, and they'll recommend a size.
A dumpster on private property, like your driveway or a job site, doesn't usually need a City permit in Cottage Grove. Be careful about where your property actually ends, though.
The City explains that in most neighborhoods the public right-of-way starts about 13 feet behind the curb. That strip often looks like part of your yard or driveway, but it belongs to the City, and it's where sidewalks usually sit.
If the container will sit on a street or inside that strip, you'll need a non-excavation right-of-way permit, approved before the work begins. You can apply online through the City's permit portal. The City doesn't list a fee or review time on its page.
For questions, call the City Engineering Department at 651-458-2881. If you aren't sure whether your drop spot is public or private, your account manager can help you find the right City contact.
Most household junk and building debris can go in the container. The limits come from Minnesota's waste rules and from the facility that takes your load.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency bans TVs and monitors with old picture tubes from the trash. It also keeps grass, leaves, brush and other yard waste out of Minnesota landfills. Tires, car batteries, motor oil and appliances are handled as separate waste, so they shouldn't be mixed in with a regular load.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. State rules also keep asbestos out of demolition debris. Washington County takes household hazardous waste and electronics from residents at its South Environmental Center in Woodbury.
Cottage Grove adds one more rule. The City code says construction or demolition debris has to leave the site within seven days after the container is full.
If you're unsure about an item, ask your account manager 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.
Where your load ends up depends on what's in it. By law, trash from Ramsey and Washington counties goes to the Ramsey/Washington Recycling and Energy Center. It's run by the two counties at 100 Red Rock Rd, Newport, MN 55055, a short drive north of town. The center is open Monday through Thursday, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 6 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. It's closed on Sundays.
The Recycling and Energy Center takes household trash from cleanouts, but it won't take construction or demolition debris. That list includes sheetrock, shingles, siding, insulation, concrete, asphalt and fencing. Under Minnesota rules, that kind of debris must go to a permitted demolition facility instead.
That's why it helps to tell us what you're tossing. A load of old furniture and a load of torn-out drywall can go to different places at different fees. Your account manager can confirm where your load is headed and explain the fees before delivery.
100 Red Rock Rd, Newport, MN 55055
County-run center for household trash; no construction or demolition debris. Closed Sundays.
Most Cottage Grove orders can be booked within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Ordering a few days early gives you time to check the right-of-way line and prep the drop spot. It can also save you money.
A few tips for an easy delivery:
The Newport center is closed on Sundays, so a container filled on a Saturday afternoon may wait until Monday to be emptied.

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 Cottage Grove dumpster runs from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. The type of debris and the disposal fees for it also affect the total. Your account manager will explain the included weight and overage rate before you book.
For most projects, a dumpster costs less once you count the trips. The Newport center charges a minimum on every self-haul load and won't take building debris at all. Add in fuel, a trailer, and your time, and one container hauled away once is usually the better deal.
Yes. A typical couch fills about one-fifth of a 10-yard container, so there's room left for a mattress, a dresser, and bags of household junk. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll run out of space well before you hit the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. In Minnesota, old tube TVs and monitors can't go in the trash, and yard waste is kept out of landfills. Tires, car batteries, motor oil and appliances are handled separately, so mention them before you book.
The 10-yard dumpster has our lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. The final cost depends on weight, though. Load a small container with shingles or concrete and it can go over the limit and add overage fees. Keeping heavy debris in its own load often saves money.
A three-day rental usually costs about the same as our standard five days. We price by the job, so a shorter rental rarely lowers the rate. Weight has a much bigger effect on your bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what extra tons cost.
Most cleanout and remodeling debris is fine in Cottage Grove. That covers lumber, drywall, roofing, carpet, cabinets, furniture, and general household junk. Brick and concrete are allowed too, but they're heavy, so a smaller container works best for them. If an item seems unusual, ask your account manager first.
