At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Erlanger, Kentucky, and the rest of Kenton County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Home remodels, basement and garage cleanouts, roof replacements, and construction work near the airport keep our containers busy in this part of Northern Kentucky.

Here's what moves a dumpster quote in Erlanger.
The container size is your starting point. A bigger one costs more, but a size that's too small can mean a second haul, which costs more than stepping up once.
The weight of your debris comes next. Landfills around Northern Kentucky charge by the ton, so shingles, tile, and concrete eat into your included weight quickly. Mattresses and tires are usually billed by the piece, so tell us about them up front.
Distance to the landfill plays a part as well. Kenton County's landfills sit out in Walton and Butler, plus one across the river in Cincinnati, so the trip itself is part of the cost of every load.
Erlanger's permit rule can affect your timing. The City wants a permit for a dumpster even when it sits in your driveway, and the container can stay no more than 30 days. For small jobs, the City's free spring drop-off event for residents may cover you, but a remodel or full cleanout usually calls for a dumpster.

The right size depends on how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits a single bathroom, a small bedroom cleanout, or a patio of broken concrete. Heavy material like brick and block reaches the weight limit early, so a smaller container keeps that load in check.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage cleanout, a carpet and pad job, or the shingles from a modest roof. It gives you more room at a small step up in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Erlanger for clearing out a whole house or remodeling a kitchen along with a room or two.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits large renovations, room additions, new home construction, and demolition with mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size. It's used on commercial builds, big demolition jobs, and warehouse or office cleanouts.
Unsure which to book? Your account manager can match the size to your project.
In many towns, a dumpster on private property, like a driveway, needs no permit. Erlanger works differently, so plan for a permit even if the container never touches the street.
The City's Temporary Storage Unit Permit covers dumpsters along with tents, canopies, and portable storage units. The application asks where the unit will go, with boxes for a driveway, a yard, or the street. It also asks for the name of the rental company, so you, as the resident, file the form.
A dumpster may stay on the property for 30 days at most. The City doesn't post a fee or a review time for this permit, so ask before you lock in a delivery date. For questions, call the City at 859-727-2525.
Erlanger Public Works, at 26 Montgomery Street, handles a separate encroachment permit for work that cuts into the street. That one isn't for dumpsters. If you aren't sure which form fits your spot, your account manager can help you reach the right City contact.
Most debris from a remodel or cleanout can go in your container. Kentucky's disposal rules and the landfill that takes your load decide the rest.
Kentucky is more relaxed than many states about electronics. The Energy and Environment Cabinet says household electronics aren't banned from landfills, as long as your hauler and the landfill will take them. The state still urges recycling, and some landfills do turn them away, so ask before you toss a TV or computer.
Tires are a different story. Kentucky has had waste tire laws since 1998, and landfills usually charge for tires by the piece. Keep them separate and mention them when you book.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners need their Freon removed before they can be thrown away.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Kenton County doesn't send every load to one place. Its list of landfills and haulers names a landfill in Walton, a second in Butler, one across the river in Cincinnati, and a transfer station in Covington. Every one of those sites is run by a private waste company.
Which one takes your debris depends on the load and the route. A roof tear-off from Erlanger may head south to Walton, while a mixed cleanout could pass through the Covington transfer station first. Each site sets its own fees, hours, and list of accepted items.
For small amounts, Erlanger residents also get a free drop-off during the City's spring clean-up at the Public Works Facility on Montgomery Street. It runs only a few days a year, though, so it rarely lines up with a project schedule.
Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain any fees before delivery.
Most Erlanger rentals can be arranged within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days ahead gives you time to file the City's storage unit permit and ready the spot.
A few tips for a smooth delivery:
Keep the City's 30-day limit in mind as well. If your project runs long, ask for a swap or an early pickup so the container doesn't stay past its permit.

Dumpster rentals in Erlanger run 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. Debris weight and landfill fees shape the final price. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage and overage rates before you book.
For most projects, a dumpster costs less. The nearest landfills are a drive from Erlanger, and each trip brings a disposal fee plus gas and hours of loading. When a job needs more than a couple of truckloads, one container is usually the better deal.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving room for a recliner, a bed frame, and bags of clutter. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll usually run out of space before you get close to the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your Erlanger dumpster. Appliances that hold Freon need it removed first. Tires and mattresses are often billed per piece, and some landfills refuse electronics, so mention those items when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced option, at $399 to $499. Still, weight drives the final bill. A small container packed with tile or plaster can go over its tonnage and add overage charges. Putting heavy debris in its own load helps keep costs down.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, since we price by the job, not by the day. Weight changes your bill more than days do. In Erlanger, the permit allows up to 30 days, so ask your account manager about longer rentals too.
Most household and construction debris is allowed. That includes lumber, drywall, flooring, cabinets, roofing, furniture, and general cleanout junk. Clean concrete and brick are fine too, and a separate load of them often costs less to dispose of. Your account manager can confirm any item you're unsure about.
