At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Danville, Virginia, and the surrounding Dan River region in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Old tobacco warehouses are turning into apartments and shops, historic homes in the Old West End are being restored, and new industry keeps construction crews busy around the city. Each of those jobs creates debris that needs somewhere to go.
Four things shape your price: the size you pick, the kind of debris, how many days you keep the container, and the local disposal fees at the landfill. Keep reading for price ranges, the City's rules for containers in the street, and a list of items to keep out.

Several local factors set the cost of a dumpster in Danville.
The container comes first. Larger sizes cost more up front, yet picking one that's too small usually leads to a second pickup and a higher total.
Weight is the next piece. Danville has plenty of older homes, and plaster, brick, and heavy old lumber add up fast. Every rental includes a weight allowance, so dense material can reach it before the container fills.
Disposal is a big part of the bill. The nearest public landfill is run by Pittsylvania County, and its posted tipping fee is $55 per ton. Fees like that are built into your quote.
Street placement may add paperwork. If the dumpster can't fit on your lot, the City asks you to apply for approval before it goes in the right-of-way.

Match the container to the amount and weight of your debris. Prime Dumpster carries sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits a small bathroom job, a porch repair, or clearing out an attic. It's also the one we suggest for brick and concrete, since heavy loads max out the weight well before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a kitchen tear-out, a garage cleanout, or old flooring from a few rooms. It gives you a bit more room without a big jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a solid choice for estate cleanouts and remodels that cover most of a house. Many homeowners in Danville start here.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for historic restorations, additions, and new home builds. It's built for jobs that produce a lot of bulky, mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest we offer. Choose it for warehouse cleanouts, commercial renovation, and full demolition.
Your account manager can recommend a size once you describe the project.
When the dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or a job site, you generally won't need approval from the City. A container placed on a street, sidewalk, or other public right-of-way is another matter.
The City of Danville handles this through a Temporary Container Placement in City Right of Way Application. You submit it to the Public Works Engineering Office, and the City reviews it under its Bulk Container in City Right-of-Way Policy before the container can be placed.
For questions about the application, call the Engineering Office at 434-799-5019. Your account manager can help you find the right contact and decide whether a street spot is worth the extra step.
Most household junk and building debris is fine to load. The limits come from Virginia's landfill rules and from what the receiving landfill accepts.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. Older buildings can hide asbestos in pipe wrap, tile, and siding, so have suspect material checked before a big tear-out.
Brush and yard debris are handled apart from regular trash at the county landfill. If your job includes tree limbs or yard cleanup, tell us so they can be kept separate.
Tires, batteries, and appliances that hold refrigerant usually need special handling too. Mention them when you book so there are no surprises.
When in doubt about an item, 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.
The nearest public landfill to Danville is the Pittsylvania County Landfill at 382 Rainbow Lane, Dry Fork, VA 24549. It's operated by the Pittsylvania County Department of Public Works and covers about 450 acres.
The landfill is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and is closed on weekends. It charges by the ton, and brush goes to its own area away from household trash. You can reach the landfill at 434-432-7980.
The landfill mainly serves County residents, and your load's final destination depends on where the job is and what's in the container. Your account manager will confirm where your debris is going and go over any disposal fees before delivery.
382 Rainbow Lane, Dry Fork, VA 24549
County-run landfill, open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
In Danville, we can usually schedule a rental within one to two business days, with the truck arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If you need a right-of-way approval, call a few days sooner so the paperwork is done first.
Tips for an easy delivery:
The county landfill is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so a container you fill late in the week may be hauled the following Monday.

Rentals in Danville cost $399 to $499 for a 10-yard dumpster and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on five days. Your debris type and per-ton landfill fees also play a part. Your account manager confirms how much weight is included and what extra tons cost.
A small pickup load might be cheaper to haul yourself. For a remodel or estate cleanout, a dumpster usually wins. The county landfill charges by the ton, keeps weekday hours only, and mainly serves County residents, so several trips can cost more than one rental.
Yes. A regular couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard container. That leaves space for chairs, a mattress, and bags of clutter from an attic or closet. Furniture is light for its size, so you'll fill the container before you reach its weight limit.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Tires, batteries, and appliances with refrigerant need special handling. Keep brush separate from other debris if you can. Ask your account manager about any item you're unsure of before it goes in.
The 10-yard container is the lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. It's a good fit for small projects. Just keep an eye on heavy material like brick or plaster, which can push it over the weight limit and add an overage charge.
Three days typically costs the same as five, because we price each rental by the job. The weight you load has a bigger effect on the bill than the calendar. Ask your account manager about the included tonnage before the container arrives.
Most debris from a Danville home or job site can go in. That covers lumber, plaster, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and cardboard. Clean concrete and brick are allowed too, but they're heavy. Your account manager can check any item for you before you load it.
