At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and the Chippewa Valley in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. The city has a lively downtown along its two rivers, a big stock of older homes near the university, and a steady pace of construction on the north and west sides. Homeowners, landlords, and builders all use roll-off containers to keep jobs clean and moving.
The cost of a rental comes down to container size, debris type, rental length, and the local disposal fees charged at the landfill. Below, we cover price ranges, the City's permit for dumpsters on the street, and the many items Wisconsin keeps out of landfills.

A few local details decide what a dumpster costs in Eau Claire.
Size sets the base. A bigger container costs more, but one that's too small can mean a second haul, and that almost always costs more in the end.
What you load matters just as much. Old plaster, brick chimneys, and asphalt shingles are heavy, and every rental comes with a weight allowance. A full load of masonry can pass that limit quickly.
Wisconsin's landfill bans are a real factor here. Cardboard, appliances, electronics, tires, and yard waste are all banned from landfills statewide. Pulling those items out before they go in the dumpster keeps your load from being rejected or charged extra.
A street spot adds a City fee. Placing a dumpster in the right-of-way costs $45 plus $4 per day, so a driveway is usually the cheaper spot.

Think about how much debris you'll produce and how heavy it will be. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster handles a bathroom remodel, a small shed teardown, or a basement cleanup. It's also the best fit for brick and concrete, which hit the weight limit before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a garage cleanout, a kitchen tear-out, or flooring from several rooms. It's a good step up without a big jump in cost.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a popular choice for student rental turnovers and whole-house cleanouts. It also handles most multi-room remodels.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits additions, new homes, and larger renovation projects. It's handy when a crew is generating lots of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest option. It's made for commercial construction, full demolition, and large business cleanouts.
Your account manager can help you choose if you're between sizes.
If the dumpster sits on private property, such as your driveway or a job site, you usually don't need a City permit. A container in the street, a parking lane, or on the sidewalk is different.
The City of Eau Claire's Engineering Department issues a Dumpster in Right-of-Way permit through its online permit portal. The City's permits page lists the fee at $45 plus $4 per day. If the container closes a lane or sidewalk, a separate closure permit may apply.
Apply before your delivery date so the container can be placed on time. For questions, call Eau Claire Engineering at 715-839-4934. Your account manager can help you find the right contact and decide whether a street spot makes sense.
Wisconsin keeps more items out of landfills than most people expect. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources bans a long list of items from landfills, and those bans apply to homes and businesses alike.
You can't landfill cardboard, newspapers, office paper, or glass, metal, and plastic bottles and cans. Electronics, major appliances, lead-acid batteries, waste oil, used oil filters, and tires are banned too. So is yard waste, including leaves, grass, and brush under six inches across.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either.
The easiest fix is to keep banned items separate. Flatten cardboard for recycling, and set appliances and electronics aside for a recycler.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Eau Claire doesn't run its own landfill or transfer station. Most roll-off loads from the city go to the privately run landfill on County Highway Q, outside the city limits and next to the County's recycling drop-off at 8011 Olson Drive.
That drop-off site, run by Eau Claire County, is open Tuesdays from noon to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon. It's a handy spot for residents to drop off recyclables that can't go in a dumpster.
The City of Eau Claire also licenses the companies that haul debris, including each roll-off truck. Your account manager will confirm how the licensing rules apply, where your load is going, and what disposal fees to expect before delivery.
Most Eau Claire rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a bit earlier gives you time to get a right-of-way permit if you need one.
Here are a few tips for a smooth drop-off:
Spring and early fall are busy building seasons in the Chippewa Valley, so reserve early if your project falls in those months.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves all of Eau Claire, from downtown and the Third Ward to Randall Park, Putnam Heights, and the North Side. We also work in nearby Chippewa Valley communities like Altoona, Chippewa Falls, and Lake Hallie, and we plan every delivery, pickup, and disposal around your timeline.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll suggest the right container, flag any items Wisconsin won't let into a landfill, and give you a firm price on the call.
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.
In Eau Claire, a 10-yard dumpster runs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. Heavy debris and landfill fees can shift the total. Your account manager confirms the included weight and overage rate before the container arrives.
For most home projects, a dumpster costs less. Each trip to the landfill means a disposal charge, plus fuel and time, and many trucks aren't built for heavy debris. A single roll-off lets you load everything at your own pace and haul it away in one trip.
Yes. An average couch fills roughly a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. There's still room for a recliner, a bed frame, and boxes from a move-out. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll use up space before you reach the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Wisconsin also bans appliances, electronics, tires, lead-acid batteries, waste oil, yard waste, cardboard, and bottles and cans from landfills. Set those aside for recycling, and ask your account manager about anything you're unsure of.
The 10-yard dumpster is our lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. It's perfect for small jobs, but heavy plaster or brick can push it past the weight limit fast. If your debris is mostly masonry, ask your account manager about keeping it in its own load.
Three days usually costs the same as five, since we price by the job rather than by the day. Weight has the bigger impact on your bill. Ask your account manager how much weight is included before the dumpster is delivered.
Most household and building debris is allowed. That includes lumber, drywall, plaster, shingles, flooring, cabinets, and furniture. Clean concrete and brick are fine too, but they're heavy. Because of Wisconsin's bans, keep cardboard, appliances, and yard waste out. Your account manager can check any item for you.
