At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Great Falls, Montana, and the nearby Cascade County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older homes on the east and west sides of the Missouri River get remodeled all the time, and new construction and ranch work around the city keep containers busy for homeowners and contractors.
Your price comes down to the container size, the type of debris, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the landfill north of town. Keep reading for local price ranges, the City's rules for streets and alleys, and what you can load.

Four things move the cost of a dumpster in Great Falls up or down.
The first is size. A larger container has a higher base price. Still, a container that's too small can mean a second haul, and that usually costs more than sizing up once.
The second is weight. Roofing, plaster, dirt, and concrete get heavy fast. Every container comes with a set weight allowance, and anything over it is billed per ton. Even the City's own construction drop boxes charge $40.03 per ton once a load passes its tonnage limit, which shows how quickly extra weight adds up.
The third is the drive to the landfill. Most loads from Great Falls head to the regional landfill at 142 Powerline Road in Floweree, a trip out past Black Eagle. The landfill sets its own disposal fees, and the distance is part of every haul.
The fourth is how the load arrives. The City notes that a $10 fine can be charged when loads aren't secured with a rope, strap, or tarp. Keeping debris below the top rim makes your container easy to cover and haul.

Think about two things when you pick a size: how much space your debris takes up and how much it weighs. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits small jobs like a bathroom gut, a basement cleanout, or a weekend of yard work. It's also our pick for concrete, brick, and gravel, since heavy loads reach the weight limit long before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is a step up for a garage cleanout, carpet removal, or a small roof. It gives you breathing room without the price of a bigger container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Great Falls homeowners choose for a full-house cleanout or a remodel that touches several rooms. It holds a lot without taking over your driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits big renovations, new home construction, and tear-downs. It's a good match when the debris is bulky and mixed.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. Contractors use it for commercial builds, large demolition jobs, and warehouse or shop cleanouts.
If you're torn between two sizes, tell your account manager what you're tearing out, and they'll point you to the better fit.
On private property, such as your driveway, yard, or a fenced job site, you usually won't need a permit for a dumpster in Great Falls. Things change when the container sits on a street, alley, boulevard, or other public ground.
City code makes it unlawful to place an obstruction of any kind on a street, alley, or public right-of-way unless the City allows it. The code also offers a temporary, revocable encroachment permit for boulevard areas and other public grounds, granted to the owner or tenant of the property next to it. That permit carries a one-time application fee set by the City Commission.
For right-of-way permits, the City's Public Works permits page sends you to Planning and Community Development at the Civic Center, 2 Park Drive South, Room 112. You can reach that office at 406-455-8430. Ask what applies to your spot and how long approval takes before you pick a delivery date.
Alleys matter here, since many Great Falls homes have alley access. Keep the container off the alley unless the City has signed off. If you aren't sure where your property line ends, your account manager can help you find the right contact.
Most remodeling and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from Montana's waste rules and from what the landfill will take.
Montana has fewer statewide landfill bans than many states. The Montana Department of Environmental Quality says the state has no law that bans electronics from landfills. Even so, it's smart to mention TVs and computers when you book, since they're often handled apart from the main load.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. Keep propane bottles out too. The City sends residents to Breen Oil Company on the NW Bypass for those.
Appliances need extra care. The City charges $27.00 to pick up a washer, dryer, or water heater, and $85.00 for a fridge, freezer, or air conditioner so the refrigerant can be removed. Tell us about any appliance before it goes in your container.
If you have a question about an item, 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.
Great Falls runs its own trash service, and the City's commercial collection page asks businesses to keep concrete, dirt, and construction materials out of their regular containers. That's why remodels and demolition jobs in town rely on roll-off dumpsters.
Most roll-off loads from Great Falls go to the regional landfill at 142 Powerline Road, Floweree, MT 59440, north of the city. Cascade County lists it as open Monday through Saturday and closed on Sundays. Loads have to be unloaded, paid for, and out of the dump area 30 minutes before closing.
The landfill charges by weight, so a heavy load costs more to drop off than a light one. Your account manager can confirm where your debris is headed and go over any disposal fees before your container arrives.
In most cases, we can schedule your Great Falls dumpster within one to two business days, and it shows up in a 24 to 48 hour delivery window. If you book a few days out, you'll have time to handle any permit and get the spot ready. Early booking can also lower your cost.
A few tips before your container arrives:
The landfill doesn't open on Sundays, so a container you fill on Saturday may wait until Monday to be emptied.

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 Great Falls runs 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. Heavy debris and landfill fees can change your total. Your account manager will confirm the weight allowance and overage rate on your quote.
For a big project, renting is usually cheaper. The landfill is north of town, so each trip costs you gas, time, and a disposal fee, plus the risk of a fine for an untied load. One dumpster lets you load everything at home and have it hauled away once.
Yes. A standard couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a mattress, a few chairs, and bags of household junk. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll fill the space before you hit the weight limit.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, asbestos, and propane bottles stay out of a Great Falls dumpster. Car batteries and anything under pressure are off limits too. Appliances with refrigerant, tires, and electronics should be mentioned when you book so they can be handled the right way.
The 10-yard container is the lowest-priced option, at $399 to $499. Your total still depends on weight. A small container packed with concrete or dirt can go over its limit and trigger overage fees. Splitting heavy debris into its own load is often the cheaper route.
Most three-day rentals cost the same as a five-day rental. We price by the job, not by the day, so keeping the container a couple of extra days rarely changes the bill. Weight has a bigger effect, so ask your account manager what's included before delivery.
You can load most household and building debris in Great Falls, such as lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and cardboard. Yard waste and branches are usually fine too. Clean concrete and dirt should go in their own container. If you're not sure about something, your account manager can check before you load it.
