A handful of things decide what a Germantown dumpster costs.
First is size. A larger container costs more, but one that's too small can leave you paying for a second haul.
Next is weight. Brick, tile, shingles, and wet yard debris get heavy fast, and heavier loads cost more to dispose of. Tires are a special case, because Tennessee bans whole tires from every landfill, so they need to come out of the load.
The kind of debris also shapes where it goes. Household trash heads to a landfill that takes mixed waste, while clean building debris can often go to a site that takes only construction material. Your account manager sorts that out when you book.
The City's own trash service has limits, too. Germantown's household trash page says regular collection doesn't cover construction and demolition debris, such as fencing or shingles. Bulk items at the curb are capped at five cubic yards a week. For a remodel or a big cleanout, a dumpster keeps the job moving.

The right size comes down to how much debris you have and what it weighs. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is sized for a bathroom remodel, a closet and attic cleanout, or a pile of branches after yard work. It's also the best pick for brick, concrete, or soil, since heavy material reaches the weight limit before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, a deck tear-down, or a roof on a smaller home. It adds room without a big price jump.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a go-to in Germantown for full-house cleanouts and remodels that touch several rooms. It holds most household jobs with ease.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for major renovations, additions, new construction, and demolition that mixes many materials.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest we rent. It's built for commercial projects, big demolition work, and large property cleanouts.
If you're torn between two sizes, tell your account manager about the project and they'll point you to the better fit.
A dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or a job site lot, usually doesn't need a permit in Germantown. Things change if the container needs to sit on a City street, sidewalk, or other public right-of-way.
The City's Engineering Department handles work in the right-of-way. Its engineering permits page lists four permits: demolition, stormwater and grading, foundation, and right-of-way. The right-of-way permit is written for work on sidewalks, driveways, curbs, fiber optics, and utility cabinets, and the City says it goes to contractors with a City business tax license and a bond. None of the four names a dumpster.
So before a container goes in the street, call Germantown Engineering Permits at 901-751-5720. Ask whether a permit applies at your address, what it costs, and how long it takes.
Most Germantown jobs fit on a driveway, which keeps things simple. If yours won't, your account manager can help you reach the right City contact.
Most household and building debris is fine to load. The limits come from Tennessee's landfill rules.
Tennessee bans whole tires from all landfills, as Shelby County's tire program page explains. State landfill rules also keep out bulk liquids and regulated hazardous waste, including PCBs and car batteries.
That means hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of a standard dumpster. Household chemicals and oil-based paint can go to the county's hazardous waste facility instead. Latex paint is different. Once it's fully dried, the county says it can go out with your regular trash.
Old computers and monitors can go to the county facility, too, but it doesn't take televisions. Keep TVs, tires, and appliances with refrigerant out of your container, and mention them when you book.
Ask your account manager about anything you're not sure of 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.
Neither the City nor Shelby County names a single landfill for Germantown dumpster loads. Loads go to permitted landfills in the county. Mixed household trash goes to a landfill built for general waste. Clean building debris can go to a site that takes only construction and demolition material.
Items that can't go in the container have their own drop-off points. The Shelby County Household Hazardous Waste Facility is at 6305 Haley Road, Memphis, TN 38134. It's open Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., except on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. It's for Shelby County residents only, and staff check your car tag and zip code. Each vehicle can bring up to 100 pounds every 30 days. Call 901-222-7729 with questions, or see the facility's page.
Old tires go to the county's tire collection site at Liberty Tire Recycling, 3000 Elvis Presley Blvd., Memphis, TN 38106, open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The landfill your load reaches depends on what's in it. Your account manager will confirm the destination and walk you through the disposal fees before delivery.
6305 Haley Road, Memphis, TN 38134
Open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., for Shelby County residents only.
Most Germantown dumpster rentals can be booked 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 pull out tires and chemicals and to check on any street placement.
Here's how to keep delivery on track:
The county's hazardous waste facility opens only three mornings a week, so plan those drop-offs early. Get the chemicals out before your container arrives.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves homes and job sites throughout Germantown and the surrounding east Shelby County area, including neighboring Memphis. Wherever your project is, we plan delivery, pickup, and disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll match the container to the job, flag any items that need a separate drop-off, and give you a clear price.
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 Germantown 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. What you load and the disposal fees at the landfill also affect the price. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For most jobs, a dumpster costs less. The City of Memphis drop-off centers are for its own solid waste fee customers, who must show an MLGW bill and photo ID. That leaves most Germantown residents hauling to private sites, one trip at a time. A dumpster takes it all at once.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills only about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. There's still room for a mattress, a couple of chairs, and a stack of boxes. Furniture takes up space but doesn't weigh much, so you'll fill the container before you hit the weight limit.
Don't load hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, car batteries, or asbestos. Tennessee also bans whole tires from landfills. Take household chemicals and computers to the Shelby County facility on Haley Road, and keep TVs and refrigerant appliances out. Mention any of those when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. Your total still depends on weight. A small container packed with brick or tile can go over its limit and add overage fees. Keeping heavy material in its own load is an easy way to save.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price dumpsters by the job, not by the day, and your debris weight shapes the bill more than the rental length. Ask your account manager about included weight and the cost of extra tons.
Most household and construction debris can go in, including lumber, drywall, shingles, carpet, cabinets, fencing, furniture, and general junk. Brush and yard waste are fine too. Clean concrete and brick are allowed, but they're heavy, so a smaller container often works best. Your account manager can confirm any item first.
