Here's what shapes the cost of a dumpster in Kearney.
Size sets the base price. It's usually cheaper to choose one size up than to pay for a second haul.
Weight counts at the scale. Kearney runs its own landfill, and its rate table charges $42.25 per ton for uncompacted waste, with a $12 minimum per transaction. Shingles, plaster, and wet debris add tons quickly, while furniture and cardboard don't.
Some items are priced one at a time. The same table lists $16 for each appliance, $15 for each mattress, and $6 for each passenger tire, so let us know about them when you book.
Two landfill rules can raise the bill. Loads hauled in from outside the landfill's service area pay twice the posted rates, and an unsecured load adds a flat fee at the scale.
Perfect For:
Weight Limit: Up to 2 tons (4,000 lbs)
Bags of Trash: Approximately 50-70 large trash bags.
Truck Loads: Roughly 3 pickup truck loads.
*These are general estimates and can vary depending on the type of trash being disposed of and how tightly it’s packed.

Start with how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is a good fit for a bathroom remodel, a small basement cleanout, or storm debris from one part of the yard. It's also the right choice for concrete, brick, or dirt, since heavy loads reach the weight limit before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, carpet and flooring from a few rooms, or a small roof. It adds room without the price of a much larger container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common pick in Kearney for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that touch several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits big renovations, new home builds, and demolition work with a mix of materials.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's meant for commercial construction, large demolition, and major cleanouts on farms and commercial lots.
Give your account manager a quick description of the job, and they'll recommend a size.
If your dumpster sits on private property, such as your driveway or your own lot, you don't need a City permit in Kearney. The rules change when it goes in the street, an alley, or the strip between your lot line and the curb.
Kearney's code makes it unlawful to leave an obstruction on a street, sidewalk, or that curbside strip without approval. The City calls this approval a Sidewalk Occupation Permit, and the City Council gave the City Manager the job of deciding whether to issue one.
The City doesn't post a fee or review time for this permit, so call before you set a delivery date and ask for the Sidewalk Occupation Permit by name. The City Manager's Office is at City Hall, 18 East 22nd Street, and you can reach City Hall at 308-233-3215.
If you're not sure where your lot ends and public property begins, your account manager can help you find the right City contact.
Most debris from a remodel, roofing job, or cleanout can go in. Nebraska's landfill ban and the Kearney landfill's own rules set the limits.
The Nebraska Department of Water, Energy, and Environment bans six items from landfills statewide. Its land disposal ban guide lists yard waste from April 1 to November 30, waste oil, car batteries, household appliances, unregulated hazardous waste, and waste tires in any form.
The Kearney landfill still helps with some of those items, but they have to be unloaded in separate areas. Appliances, tires, clean concrete, and yard waste each have their own spot. That's why they should stay out of a mixed container.
The landfill won't take chemicals, batteries of any kind, gas, oil, fertilizers, or propane bottles. Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, and asbestos don't belong in a standard dumpster either.
Ask your account manager if you're unsure about anything 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.
Loads from Kearney go to the Kearney Area Solid Waste Agency Landfill at 6711 W 56th St, Kearney, NE 68848. The City of Kearney owns and runs it, and the Nebraska Department of Water, Energy, and Environment lists it as a permitted municipal solid waste landfill in Buffalo County.
According to the City's landfill hours page, the landfill is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Trucks must be weighed in at least 15 minutes before closing. The main line is 308-233-3607.
Because the City owns the landfill, its posted rates apply to every load that crosses the scale. Your account manager will confirm where your container is headed and explain the disposal fees before delivery.
6711 W 56th St, Kearney, NE 68848
City-owned landfill; open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Most dumpster rentals in Kearney can be booked within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days ahead gives you time to plan the drop spot and check with the City if you need street space.
These tips help your delivery go smoothly:
The landfill closes at 2 p.m. on Saturdays and stays closed on Sundays, so a container filled over the weekend is usually hauled on 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 rental in Kearney 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. Your debris type and the landfill's per-ton rate shape the final total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rate.
For most projects, a dumpster is the better value. Each trip to the Kearney landfill carries at least a minimum charge, plus fuel and time, and an unsecured load costs extra. A container lets you load at your own pace, and one haul takes everything away.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll have space left for a mattress, a dresser, and several boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so the container fills up well before the weight becomes a concern.
Leave hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of a Kearney dumpster. Nebraska also bans car batteries, waste oil, tires, and household appliances from landfills, plus grass and leaves from April through November. The Kearney landfill also refuses chemicals, propane bottles, and fertilizers.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. Since the landfill charges by the ton, weight still matters. A small container full of concrete or shingles can go over its limit. Loading heavy debris by itself is a simple way to control the cost.
A three-day rental normally costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price by the job, not by the day, and the weight you load affects the bill far more than the days do. Ask your account manager how much weight is included and what extra tons cost.
Most household and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, siding, roofing, flooring, cabinets, and furniture. Branches and brush are fine, but grass clippings and leaves are banned from landfills from April through November. Your account manager can confirm any item before you load it.
