Here's what goes into the price of a Fort Smith dumpster.
Size comes first. A bigger container costs more, but getting the size right the first time saves you from overage charges or a second haul.
Weight matters too. Brick, tile, soil, and shingles are heavy and can max out a small container while there's still room on top. Tires and appliances need special handling, so tell us about them when you call.
The landfill is City owned. Most loads from Fort Smith go to the City of Fort Smith Sanitary Landfill, and the City sets its disposal rates by ordinance each year. For a sense of scale, the City landfill charges residents with an active sanitation account $12.47 for a pickup, car, or SUV load. That's a discount rate for residents hauling their own debris, not a rental price.
Local hauling rules also play a part. Fort Smith requires any company that collects and hauls waste in the city, including roll-off containers, to hold a City franchise permit. Your account manager will confirm how that rule applies to your project before you book.

Pick your size by the amount of debris and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster handles one stripped room or a bathroom, about three pickup loads' worth. It's also the smart choice for brick, concrete, or dirt, since heavy loads reach the weight limit before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a single-layer roof tear-off or a two-car garage cleanout.
The 20-Yard Dumpster suits a whole-house cleanout, where carpet, drywall, and cabinets take up plenty of space without much weight. It's one of the most requested sizes in Fort Smith.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for large remodels, new home construction, and demolition with a mix of materials.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's built for commercial projects, warehouse cleanouts, and big construction sites.
Let your account manager know what the job involves, and they'll help you pick a size.
A dumpster that sits on private property, like your driveway or a job site, generally doesn't need a City permit in Fort Smith. Things change if any part of the container would rest on a street, alley, or other public right-of-way.
Fort Smith's city code doesn't list a permit just for dumpsters. It requires a written permit from the building department for digging in a street or alley, and a separate license from the City for structures like signs and fencing in the right-of-way. A roll-off container isn't named in either rule, so it's best to call before you place one on public ground.
The City of Fort Smith Public Works Department looks after streets and sidewalks from 3900 Kelley Highway. Call Public Works at 479-784-2360, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., to ask about a container in the street. For permit questions, the Building Services Department is at 479-784-2206. If you're not sure whether your spot counts as right-of-way, your account manager can help you find the right contact.
Most construction and household debris is fine to load. Arkansas landfill rules and the City landfill's own list set the limits.
Arkansas doesn't allow hazardous waste, PCB waste, or loose liquids in its household trash landfills. Asbestos has its own state rules and can't be mixed into a regular load.
The City landfill's list of items not accepted adds more detail. It won't take tires unless they've been cut and quartered, and it refuses car and truck batteries, gas cans or tanks with fuel still inside, and appliances with Freon. Liquid paint, used motor oil, pesticide containers that haven't been rinsed, compressed gas cylinders, and fireworks are also turned away. Commercial businesses can't dispose of fluorescent bulbs there.
Standard dumpster exclusions apply as well: no hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, or asbestos.
If something on your list seems borderline, ask your account manager before you load it.
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 Fort Smith go to the City of Fort Smith Sanitary Landfill, run by the City's Solid Waste Services Department at 5900 Commerce Road, Fort Smith, AR 72916. It's open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. It's closed on Sundays. Solid Waste Services can be reached at 479-784-2262.
The landfill takes debris from Sebastian, Crawford, Franklin, Logan, Scott, and Washington counties in Arkansas, plus LeFlore and Sequoyah counties in Oklahoma. City rules also require every vehicle hauling waste to the landfill to be covered, so nothing blows out on the way.
Because the landfill is owned by the City, the disposal fees under your quote are set locally. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain those fees before delivery.
5900 Commerce Road, Fort Smith, AR 72916
Open weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 to 11:30 a.m.; closed Sunday.
Most Fort Smith rentals can be set up within one to two business days, with the dumpster arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days out gives you time to prep the drop spot and sort out any street questions.
Keep these tips in mind:
The City landfill closes at 11:30 a.m. on Saturdays and stays closed on Sundays. A container filled late in the week 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.
A dumpster in Fort Smith costs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. What you throw away and the City landfill's disposal fees also shape the final price. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
For a small load, the City's resident rate at the landfill is hard to beat. For a remodel or big cleanout, a dumpster usually wins. Each trip out to Commerce Road takes gas and most of a morning, while one container handles the whole job in one haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, so you'll still have room for a mattress, dining chairs, and boxes. Furniture usually fills the space well before the load gets close to its weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of a Fort Smith dumpster. The City landfill also refuses car batteries, Freon appliances, full gas cans, and tires that haven't been cut up. Mention any tires or appliances when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. The final bill still depends on weight, so a small container full of tile or brick can end up costing more than a larger one full of light debris. Splitting heavy material into its own load helps.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, because dumpsters are priced by the job rather than the day. Weight has a much larger effect on your total. Ask your account manager about extra days and overage rates before delivery.
Most construction and household debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, carpet, roofing, cabinets, furniture, yard debris, and general clutter. Brick and concrete are fine too, as long as the load stays under the weight limit. Check with your account manager about any item you're unsure of.
