At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Juneau, Alaska, and the rest of the City and Borough's road system in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older homes downtown and in Douglas need new roofs and siding after years of rain, families in the Mendenhall Valley remodel and clean out, and construction keeps going through the long summer days. A roll-off container is often the simplest way to handle the debris.
What you'll pay depends on the size, the type of debris, how long you keep the container, and the disposal fees at the landfill. Here, we cover price ranges, the City and Borough's street permit, what the hazardous waste facility takes, and why Juneau's landfill is a little different.

Juneau's setting shapes the cost of a dumpster in a few ways.
First is size. The right container fits the whole job in one haul, so you don't pay for a second trip.
Second is weight. Juneau has one landfill, and it charges by the ton for household trash, building debris, metal, and treated wood, with separate prices for each. Treated lumber costs the most to dispose of, so it's worth mentioning when you book. Wet debris weighs more, too, which matters in a rainforest town.
Third is the landfill itself. It's privately owned, and the City and Borough doesn't set its fees or run it. Those disposal costs are built into your quote, and your account manager can explain how they apply to your load.
Fourth is placement. A container on your driveway is simple, but one in the street, on a sidewalk, or in a parking lane needs a City and Borough permit.

Think about the size of the pile and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a small bathroom, a single room, or a heavy load like concrete or rock. Dense debris hits the weight limit before it fills the container, so this size keeps those jobs affordable.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is a good pick for a garage or shed cleanout, new flooring, or a small roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster works for most whole-house cleanouts and multi-room remodels in Juneau.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits bigger renovations and new home construction, where lumber and drywall scraps pile up.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's best for commercial construction, demolition, and large property cleanouts with room to place it.
Your account manager can help you choose once they know the scope of your project.
A dumpster that sits on private property, like your driveway or your own lot, usually doesn't need a permit in Juneau. If the container will take up a street, a sidewalk, or a parking lane, the rules change.
For that, the City and Borough of Juneau uses a Street and Sidewalk Use Permit. It's part of the City and Borough's combined right-of-way permit form, which asks whether a street will be closed, whether a sidewalk will be blocked, and how many parking spaces the container will take. If a street or sidewalk is blocked, you'll need to attach a detour diagram and a site plan. The applicant also agrees to hold the City and Borough harmless for claims tied to the placement.
Engineering and Public Works handles these permits from its office at 155 Heritage Way. Its permits page lists the street and sidewalk rules, and you can call 907-586-5254. The fee is set by staff for each application, so ask about the cost and timing before you book delivery.
If you're unsure whether your spot is public right-of-way, your account manager can help you find the right contact.
Most construction and household debris can go in your container. What stays out comes from the landfill's rules and from Alaska's solid waste regulations, which the state Department of Environmental Conservation oversees.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. Explosives, radioactive material, and soil soaked with gas or oil stay out as well.
Juneau makes the right route easy for many of those items. The City and Borough's hazardous waste program takes batteries, used oil, fluorescent tubes, paint, cleaners, and TVs from residents. It doesn't take refrigerators, wood, or tires, which go to the landfill instead, usually at a per-item charge.
Before anything questionable goes in the container, check with your account manager.
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.
Juneau's trash and building debris go to the borough's only landfill, off Tonsgard Court. The City and Borough of Juneau says on its solid waste page that it doesn't own or run the landfill or the garbage hauling. The site is privately owned, and the City and Borough estimates it has fewer than 10 years of life left, which is why it pushes recycling and reuse.
The CBJ Household Hazardous Waste Facility sits on the same property at 5600 Tonsgard Court, Juneau, AK 99801. It's open to residents Thursday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with a limit of 500 pounds a day, and businesses drop off by appointment. You can reach it at 907-780-6691. The Juneau Recycling Center is at the same address, just inside the landfill entrance.
Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain the disposal fees before delivery.

Most Juneau rentals can be set up within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days ahead gives you time to handle any street permit and get the site ready.
A few tips help things go smoothly:
Juneau has no road link to the rest of Alaska, so planning ahead matters. If your job needs a street permit, start that step first so it doesn't hold up delivery.

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 Juneau dumpster rental costs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. The type of debris and the landfill's per-ton fees also affect your total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For a truckload or two, hauling it yourself can work. For bigger projects, a dumpster usually costs less, because every trip to the landfill comes with its own minimum charge, plus fuel and time. With a rental, you fill the container at your own pace, and we haul it off in one trip.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of the space in a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a mattress, a dresser, and several boxes. Furniture is bulky but not very heavy, so you'll usually fill the space before you get close to the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, asbestos, and explosives out of your Juneau dumpster. The City and Borough's hazardous waste facility takes batteries, used oil, paint, fluorescent tubes, and TVs from residents. Refrigerators and tires go to the landfill separately, so mention them when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. The landfill charges by weight, so a small container full of wet debris or treated lumber can go past its included tonnage. Keeping heavy or treated material separate is an easy way to save.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our five-day rental, since we price by the job, 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 tonnage and extra-day charges.
Most household and building debris is fine, including lumber, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general junk. Scrap metal can go in too, though the landfill charges less for metal kept separate. Your account manager can confirm anything you're not sure about before you load it.
