A few factors set the cost of a dumpster in Fort Myers.
The container size is the starting point. A larger container costs more, but the right size spares you a second haul or an overweight load.
Weight counts too, because Lee County charges by the ton. Drywall, tile, concrete, and wet storm debris add weight quickly, while furniture and cardboard are light for their size.
Disposal fees are set by the county, not the hauler. Lee County's FY26 rate sheet lists household trash at $69.83 per ton and construction and demolition debris at $70.25 per ton at the Buckingham facility, each with a $15.00 minimum. The county reviews its rates every year, and new rates take effect on October 1.
City rules also shape the job. Fort Myers runs its own roll-off service, and private collection inside city limits is allowed only under a City franchise. That's why your account manager checks the rules for your address before booking.

Match the size to how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for a bathroom remodel, a single-room cleanout, or a small pile of storm debris. It's also a good match for concrete, pavers, and tile, since heavy debris reaches the weight limit first.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage cleanout, flooring removal, or a small roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Fort Myers for a whole-home cleanout or a remodel that covers several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits big renovations, new home builds, and larger storm cleanups with mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's built for commercial construction, major demolition, and large property cleanouts.
Tell your account manager what you're working on, and they'll help you pick the best fit.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like a driveway or a job site, you usually won't need a permit in Fort Myers. The rules change if the container would block part of a City street or sidewalk.
The City's Engineering Division reviews work in the public right-of-way and lists dumpsters and waste pickup among the items it checks on building projects, according to its plan review page. The City doesn't post a separate dumpster permit or fee. For a road or lane closure, the City asks you to call Engineering at 239-321-7445.
The Engineering Division is at 2200 Second Street, and its main line is 239-321-7451. For building permits, the Building, Permitting and Inspections Division answers at 239-321-7925, at 1825 Hendry Street.
Because Fort Myers controls solid waste collection inside city limits, placement is only part of the question. Your account manager will confirm how the City's rules apply to your address and help you reach the right contact before delivery.
Most construction and household debris can go in the container. Florida law and Lee County's facilities set the limits.
Florida doesn't allow whole tires to be buried in a landfill, and it's against state law to throw away rechargeable batteries or products that contain them. Keep both out of your dumpster.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection also points to paint, pool chemicals, household cleaners, and pesticides as common household hazardous waste. Those, along with liquids, solvents, fuel, and asbestos, don't belong in a standard dumpster.
Two local rules matter too. Lee County routes asphalt shingles separately from other debris, so roofing loads need their own plan. And City rules send recyclable construction debris that's been separated on site to a recycling facility in the county.
If you're unsure about an item, 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.
Most loads from Fort Myers go to the Lee County Resource Recovery Facility, the county's Buckingham campus at 10500 Buckingham Road, Fort Myers, FL 33905. It's open Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 6 a.m. to noon. Lee County Solid Waste answers at 239-533-8000.
According to the county's facility page, the campus does more than burn trash. Household garbage goes to the waste-to-energy plant. Construction debris is processed to recover concrete, plastics, and wood. Yard waste is ground into mulch or compost, and recyclables are sorted and baled.
The campus accepts only waste generated in Lee County. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and explain the disposal fees before delivery.
10500 Buckingham Road, Fort Myers, FL 33905
Lee County's Buckingham campus, open Monday to Friday 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 6 a.m. to noon; Lee County waste only.
Most dumpster rentals in Fort Myers can be booked within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days ahead leaves time to confirm the City's rules for your address and prepare the spot.
A few tips for an easy delivery:
Plan around the Buckingham campus hours. It closes at noon on Saturday and stays closed Sunday, so a container filled over the weekend may not be emptied until 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 Fort Myers 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. Lee County's per-ton disposal fees and your debris type also affect the total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates.
For most projects, a dumpster is the better deal. The City's bulk pickup takes up to four cubic yards a week, and every self-haul trip to the county facility carries a minimum charge, plus fuel and time. For a remodel or storm cleanup, one dumpster handles the job in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving room for a mattress, chairs, and several boxes. Upholstered furniture is bulky but light, so the container usually fills before it gets near the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, pool chemicals, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your dumpster. Florida also bans whole tires from landfills and rechargeable batteries from the trash. Asphalt shingles need special routing in Lee County, so mention roofing when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced option, starting at $399 to $499. Lee County charges by the ton, so a small container full of tile or concrete can still run into overage fees. Keeping heavy debris separate helps you manage the total.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price by the job, not the day, and your debris weight affects the bill more than the number of days. Ask your account manager about the included weight and any extra-day charge.
Most construction and household debris is fine, including lumber, drywall, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture, and general junk. Concrete and brick are allowed too, but they're heavy, so a smaller container works best. Your account manager can check any item you're unsure about.
