Several things shape the cost of a dumpster in Farmington.
Container size is the starting point. A bigger container costs more, but choosing one that fits the job keeps you from paying overage fees or a second delivery.
Debris weight comes next. Stucco, tile, shingles, and dirt are heavy and eat into your included weight quickly. Furniture and cardboard take up space but weigh far less.
Distance to the landfill matters as well. Loads from Farmington go to the county landfill near Aztec, and its disposal fee is charged at the scale. That fee is built into your quote, so ask your account manager what weight is included.
Last, Farmington's trash service is run through a contractor that works for the City. Your account manager will confirm whether that arrangement affects roll-off service at your address before you book.

Choose based on how much you're throwing away and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, a small room cleanout, or a pile of broken concrete from a patio. Pick it for heavy debris like brick or stucco, which reaches the weight limit before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, flooring from several rooms, or the shingles from a small roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a popular size in Farmington for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that cover several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles major renovations, additions, new home construction, and demolition with mixed materials.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, made for commercial construction, large demolition projects, and big cleanouts.
If you're not sure which to pick, describe your project to your account manager, and they'll help you decide.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or your own lot, you generally won't need a City permit in Farmington. A container in the street, an alley, or another public right-of-way should be cleared with the City first.
Farmington's Public Works Department handles permits for work in the right-of-way. The office is upstairs at 805 Municipal Drive and takes walk-in customers, and you can also request a permit online.
The City doesn't post a fee or review time for placing a container in the street, so ask about both when you call. Reach the City of Farmington Public Works Department at 505-599-1301, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
If you're not sure where your lot ends and the right-of-way begins, your account manager can help you reach the right contact.
Most debris from a remodel or cleanout can go in your dumpster. New Mexico's rules and the county landfill set the limits.
The state's solid waste rules bar anyone from disposing of lead-acid batteries at a landfill. The same rules keep infectious waste, radioactive waste, and regulated hazardous waste out of landfills, and they limit liquid waste.
New Mexico also doesn't allow scrap tires to be dumped or stored in a way that creates a nuisance. Tell us about tires when you book so they can be handled separately.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. The City's own landfill allowance for residents also turns away liquids, Freon appliances, paint, pesticides, and batteries.
When something on your list seems uncertain, ask your account manager before it goes in.
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.
Dumpster loads from Farmington go to the San Juan County landfill at 78 County Road 3140, Aztec, NM 87410. According to the county's facility sheet, it's open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. from March through September, and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. from October through February. Saturday hours run 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. all year, and it's closed on Sundays.
City residents have a free option for small amounts. Farmington residents can take up to 2 cubic yards of household waste a month to the landfill at no extra cost, with a photo ID and a current utility bill. Each load is capped at 2,000 pounds. The county's rural collection stations don't take construction or demolition debris at all.
For a remodel or large cleanout, a roll-off container is usually the practical route. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain the disposal fees before delivery.
Most dumpster rentals in Farmington can be booked within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If it needs to go in the street, call Public Works a few days ahead.
These tips help things go smoothly:
Watch the landfill's weekend hours when you plan. The county landfill opens at 9 a.m. on Saturdays and is closed on Sundays, so a container filled over the weekend usually heads out on Monday.

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 Farmington 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 county landfill's fees also affect the total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For a small load, hauling it yourself can be cheaper, since City residents get 2 cubic yards a month free at the landfill. Beyond that, each trip to the landfill near Aztec adds fees, fuel, and time. For a bigger project, one dumpster usually costs less than many trips.
Yes. A typical three-seat couch uses about one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving space for a mattress, a few chairs, and boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll usually run out of room before the load comes close to its weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, and asbestos out of your Farmington dumpster. New Mexico bars lead-acid batteries and infectious waste from landfills, and tires need separate handling. Mention Freon appliances when you book, and ask your account manager about anything else.
The 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced option, at $399 to $499. Your final cost still depends on what goes in. Stucco, tile, or dirt can push a small container past its weight allowance and add overage fees. Separating heavy debris is an easy way to save.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, because we price by the job and not by the day. The weight of your debris has more effect on the bill than the rental length. Ask your account manager about included weight.
Most household and building debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, stucco, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general junk. Concrete and brick are fine too, and they're best kept in a separate load. Your account manager can confirm any item before you load it.
