At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Elmwood Park, New Jersey, and the surrounding Bergen County towns in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older homes getting new kitchens and baths, attic and basement cleanouts, roof jobs, and steady construction and commercial work along Route 46 keep roll-off containers in demand here.
Your cost depends on the size you choose, what you're throwing away, how long the container stays, and the disposal fees at the facility that takes your load. Below, you'll find price ranges, the Borough's dumpster permit, where Bergen County sends your debris, and the items New Jersey keeps out of the trash.

A few local factors decide what your dumpster costs in Elmwood Park.
Size is where it starts. A bigger container costs more, but the right size keeps you clear of overage charges and a second haul.
Weight is next, because disposal is charged by the ton. Plaster walls, tile, and brick are common in older homes here, and they add weight quickly. A container full of old furniture weighs far less.
Where your load goes matters, too. Since January 1, 2024, Bergen County has required all solid waste from the county to go to a designated disposal facility. The Bergen County Utilities Authority says it won't regulate those facilities' tipping fees, so each one sets its own. New Jersey also charges a recycling tax of $3.00 per ton on waste those facilities accept.
Street placement adds a small cost. If the container needs to sit on a Borough street, you'll need a dumpster permit from the Borough first.

Picking a size depends on how much debris you'll have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, a small bedroom cleanout, or a load of plaster and tile. Heavy material reaches the weight limit well before the container looks full, so this size is often the smart choice for it.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers an attic or basement cleanout, flooring in a few rooms, or a single-layer roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common pick in Elmwood Park for emptying a whole house or remodeling a kitchen and a couple of baths.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, full gut renovations, and new construction with mixed lumber, drywall, and roofing.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size. It's built for commercial jobs, big demolitions, and warehouse cleanouts.
If your lot is tight, let your account manager know how much room you have, and they'll suggest a size that fits the job and the space.
A dumpster on private property, like your driveway, generally doesn't need a Borough permit. If the container will sit on a Borough street or sidewalk, you'll need a dumpster permit before delivery.
The Borough of Elmwood Park handles dumpster permits through its Police Department. The fee is $50, paid by check or money order to "Borough of Elmwood Park," with no cash accepted. You'll also need a certificate of insurance that names the Borough of Elmwood Park as an additional insured. The application form can be downloaded from the same page.
The Police Department is in the Municipal Building at 182 Market Street. Call the non-emergency line at 201-796-0700 with questions, and apply a few days before your delivery date, since the Borough doesn't post a review time.
If you're not sure whether your spot counts as street or driveway, your account manager can help you find the right Borough contact.
Most debris from a remodel or cleanout can go in your container. New Jersey's disposal rules and the facility that receives your load set the limits.
New Jersey bans throwing away TVs, computers, laptops, and computer monitors. The state's electronic waste rules have required these items to go to collection centers since January 1, 2011. Pull them out before you load.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, antifreeze, gas cylinders, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. Bergen County runs household hazardous waste collection events for items like these. Those events don't take tires, electronics, pressure-treated lumber, or oxygen and acetylene tanks, but the county holds separate electronics and tire collection events.
Plan to handle tires and treated lumber on their own, and mention them when you book.
Ask your account manager about anything you're unsure of before it goes in the container.
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.
Bergen County controls where your debris can legally go. The county's designated facility list names the landfills, transfer stations, and recycling facilities that may take Bergen County waste. The two closest to Elmwood Park are privately run transfer stations, one at 19-35 Atlantic Avenue in Garfield and one at 445 North Main Street in Lodi.
Your debris can only go to a facility on that list, and each one sets its own fees and hours. For the Borough's own trash and recycling programs, the Department of Public Works keeps its yard at 40 Slater Drive, open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon.
Your account manager will confirm which designated facility your load goes to and explain the fees before delivery.
Most dumpster rentals in Elmwood Park can be booked within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If you need a street permit, give yourself a few extra days to file it with the Police Department.
Here's how to make delivery day easy:
Each designated facility sets its own hours, so a container filled late on a Saturday may wait until Monday for its trip. Your account manager can tell you what to expect.

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.
Dumpster rentals in Elmwood Park 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. Your debris weight and the fees at the designated facility also affect the total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
For most projects, a dumpster is the better deal. Bergen County waste has to go to a designated facility, and each one sets its own disposal fees. Hauling it yourself also costs gas and time on every trip. A dumpster gets it all out in one haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving plenty of room for a mattress, chairs, and boxes from a bedroom. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so space usually runs out before weight does.
Leave hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, gas cylinders, and asbestos out of your Elmwood Park dumpster. New Jersey also bans TVs, computers, and monitors from the trash. Tires and pressure-treated lumber need their own route, so mention them when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster costs the least, at $399 to $499. Since disposal is billed by the ton, a small container packed with plaster or tile can still bring overage fees. Keeping it on your driveway also saves you the Borough's street permit fee.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, because pricing covers the job rather than each day. What you put in the container matters more than how long it stays. Ask your account manager about the weight included and any extra-day charge.
You can load most household and building debris, including lumber, drywall, plaster, tile, roofing, carpet, cabinets, furniture, and yard waste. Mixed loads are fine as long as nothing hazardous or on New Jersey's electronics ban goes in. Your account manager can check any item you're unsure about.
