Several things shape what a dumpster costs in Emporia.
The size you pick comes first. A larger container costs more, but the right fit keeps you from paying for another haul.
The type of debris matters a lot here. The City's transfer station fee list charges $63.96 per ton for mixed trash and $34.75 per ton for construction and demolition loads. A load of clean building debris costs far less per ton to dispose of than a load mixed with household trash. Keeping the two apart can lower your bill.
Weight is next. Shingles, brick, and plaster add tons fast. Appliances with refrigerant and tires are charged by the piece, so mention them when you book.
City rules play a part, too. Emporia runs its own trash service, and a container in the street needs a City permit. Both are covered below.
Perfect For:
Weight Limit: Up to 2 tons (4,000 lbs)
Bags of Trash: Approximately 50-70 large trash bags.
Truck Loads: Roughly 3 pickup truck loads.
*These are general estimates and can vary depending on the type of trash being disposed of and how tightly it’s packed.

Choosing a size is about how much debris you have and how much it weighs. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for a bathroom gut, a small bedroom cleanout, or a load of brush. It's also the best choice for concrete, brick, or dirt, which get heavy long before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, a flooring job, or a small roof tear-off. It gives you extra room without a big price jump.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a popular size in Emporia for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that span several rooms. Most home projects fit.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits major renovations, new homes, and demolition with a mix of materials.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest we offer. It's meant for commercial construction, big demolition jobs, and large property cleanouts.
Walk your account manager through the project, and they'll recommend a size.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or yard, you generally won't need a permit in Emporia. A permit comes into play when the container sits in a street, alley, or on a sidewalk.
The City's Engineering Department issues a Right of Way permit for use of public space. You'll find the application on the City's engineering permits page. The City doesn't list a fee or review time, so call Engineering at 620-343-4250 and ask both before you pick a delivery date. The office is at 111 East 6th Avenue and is open weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
There's a second rule to know about. Emporia's city code treats trash collection inside city limits as a City service, and the City rents out its own containers. Before we book, your account manager will confirm how that rule applies to your address and your debris.
Most remodeling and cleanout debris can go in your container. Kansas law and the transfer station set the limits.
Kansas law says construction and demolition waste doesn't include friable asbestos, household garbage, or furniture and appliances that still hold refrigerant. It also leaves out tires, drums, and electrical equipment with hazardous materials. Those items can't ride along in a clean construction load.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and propane tanks can't go in a standard dumpster either. The City runs a hazardous waste department for household chemicals.
At the transfer station, appliances with refrigerant and tires are charged by the item. Tires larger than 24.5 inches must be split before disposal. Keep these separate and mention them when you book.
If you're not sure about an item, ask your account manager 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.
Most dumpster loads from Emporia go to the Emporia/Lyon County Transfer Station at 3100 W. South Avenue, Emporia, KS 66801, about three-quarters of a mile west of Prairie Street. It's open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. It closes on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and the day after, and Christmas. The phone number is 620-340-6360.
The City runs the station and charges by weight, with a lower rate for clean construction debris than for mixed trash. Tree limbs and brush are taken at no charge, and wood chips are free to the public.
Because the station weighs every load, what goes in your dumpster shapes the disposal cost. Your account manager will confirm the destination and explain the fees before delivery.
3100 W. South Avenue, Emporia, KS 66801
Open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Most Emporia dumpster rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with drop-off in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days ahead gives you time to check the City's rules and get the drop spot ready.
These tips help your delivery go smoothly:
The transfer station is open seven days a week, though Sunday hours are short and it closes on major holidays. Plan pickups around those dates.

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 Emporia, dumpster rentals 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 type and the transfer station's per-ton fees also shape the total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
For small loads, a trip to the transfer station can make sense. For a remodel or full cleanout, a dumpster usually wins. Every self-haul trip carries a minimum charge, plus fuel and loading time. With a dumpster, you fill it at your own pace, and we haul it away once.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's room for a mattress, a few chairs, and some boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, which means you'll run out of space before the weight becomes a concern.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, and asbestos. Kansas also keeps tires and appliances with refrigerant out of construction loads, and the transfer station charges for them by the piece. Mention those items when you book so we can plan for them.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Your total still depends on what you load. In Emporia, clean construction debris costs less per ton to dispose of than mixed trash, so keeping household junk out of a building load can save you money.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price by the job, not the day, and the weight and type of your debris affect the bill more than the rental length. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and extra tons.
Most household and construction debris can go in, including lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general junk. Brush and tree limbs are fine too. Clean concrete and brick are allowed, but they're heavy, so a smaller container works best. Your account manager can check any item first.
