At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Kearny, New Jersey, and nearby Hudson County towns in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Renovations in the town's older two-family homes, basement and attic cleanouts, roof work, and commercial construction keep containers moving here for homeowners and contractors.
The cost of your rental comes down to the container size, the debris type, how many days you keep it, and the disposal fees at the facility that takes your load. Below, we cover our price ranges, the Town's container permit, what New Jersey keeps out of the trash, and where Kearny debris is sent.

A few local details affect what you'll pay for a dumpster in Kearny.
Start with the size. The right container holds the whole job in one haul, so you don't pay for a second trip or for space you never use.
Then think about weight. Plaster, lath, tile, and brick from older homes are heavy, and every load is weighed and billed by the ton where it's dropped off.
Distance plays a part too. There's no working landfill in Kearny, and New Jersey sends Hudson County's bulky waste and construction debris to transfer stations outside the county. That longer trip is part of every local quote.
Street placement can add to the cost. If your container has to sit on the street, the Town requires a permit that lasts 72 hours. Under the Town's solid waste code, each extra 72 hours costs $25, and longer stays cost $100 per week after that. On a two-week job, those renewals add up.

Your best size depends on how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits one gutted bathroom, a small cleanout, or a load of brick and concrete. Heavy material reaches the weight limit before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is a good match for a garage cleanout, a flooring job, or a small roof tear-off.
The 20-Yard Dumpster works for a whole-house cleanout or a renovation on one floor of a two-family home. Plaster and tile get heavy, so it's usually the top size for that kind of debris.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles large renovations, additions, and new construction on lots with room for a bigger container.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size. It's meant for commercial work, big demolition jobs, and large property cleanouts.
Many Kearny streets are tight, so the space at the curb or in your driveway matters too. Your account manager can help you pick a size that fits the job and the spot.
If your dumpster sits on private property, such as a driveway or a job site lot, the Town's container permit generally doesn't come into play. The permit covers containers placed on a street or other public property.
Kearny's code bans dumpsters larger than 5 feet by 10 feet on Town streets unless the Department of Public Works issues a written permit. Nearly every roll-off is bigger than that, so a street placement needs one. You apply on the Town's Application for Container Permit, which asks for the address, what the container is for, the container company, and the date it will go on the street.
The code also sets placement rules. The container must be no more than 2 feet from the curb and far enough from the corner that it doesn't block the view of traffic. It must carry all-yellow reflective diamond markers at least 18 inches square at both ends facing traffic.
The form doesn't list a fee for the first 72 hours or a review time. Call the Kearny Department of Public Works at 201-998-3700 before you set a delivery date. The office at 357 Bergen Avenue is open Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m., and Friday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Your account manager can also help you reach the right Town contact.
Most construction and cleanout debris is fine to load. New Jersey's disposal rules and the transfer station that takes your load set the limits.
New Jersey bans TVs, computers, laptops, and monitors from the garbage, and desktop printers and fax machines were added to that list later. Take these to an electronics recycling drop-off instead.
The state also keeps whole tires out of landfills, since they tend to rise back to the surface after burial. Leave tires out of your container.
New Jersey requires recyclables to be separated where they're created, not sorted out of a mixed pile later. If your project produces clean metal, cardboard, or concrete, ask us about keeping it separate.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either.
If you're unsure about something, check with your account manager before you load it.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Kearny is home to the Keegan Landfill on Bergen Avenue, but it no longer takes waste. The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, which runs it, says all of its landfills are inactive, and disposal under its supervision ended in 2019.
Instead, the state's county waste plan summary directs Hudson County's bulky waste and construction debris to one of three privately run transfer stations, two in Elizabeth and one in Fairview. Household trash from the county goes to a transfer station in Newark. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection notes that this list can change.
For you, that means your debris leaves Kearny and Hudson County before it's weighed. Those transfer stations charge by the ton and don't take drop-ins from the public the way a town dump might.
Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain the disposal fees before delivery.
Most dumpster rentals in Kearny can be booked within one to two business days, with delivery in a 24 to 48 hour window. If the container will sit on the street, leave time to get the Town permit first.
Use these tips to keep things on track:
Timing matters on the street. The first permit covers 72 hours, so a short job that fits inside three days avoids the renewal fees.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves homes and job sites throughout Kearny and the neighboring towns along the Passaic and Hackensack rivers, where Hudson County debris follows the same out-of-county route. Wherever your project is, we coordinate delivery, pickup, and disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll help you pick a size that fits your street or driveway, plan the permit timing, 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.
Our Kearny dumpster rentals range 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. The weight of your debris, per-ton disposal fees, and any street permit renewals also affect the total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
For most jobs, renting wins. Kearny's landfill no longer takes waste, and the transfer stations that handle local debris are outside the county and set up for trucks. Hauling it yourself means long drives and a fee on every trip, while a dumpster handles everything in one haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving room for a mattress, a couple of chairs, and a stack of flattened boxes. Furniture fills space quickly but doesn't weigh much, so volume usually runs out first.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your Kearny dumpster. New Jersey also bans TVs, computers, monitors, laptops, desktop printers, and fax machines from the trash, and whole tires can't go to a landfill. Ask your account manager about anything you're unsure of.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. Since debris is billed by weight, a small container full of plaster or brick can still go over its allowance. Keeping heavy material in its own load and finishing quickly on the street both help you save.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as a five-day rental, since we price by the job. If the container sits on the street, a three-day job also fits inside the Town's first 72-hour permit. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and overage rates.
Most household and building debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, plaster, flooring, roofing, cabinets, furniture, and general junk. Clean recyclables like metal and cardboard are best kept separate under New Jersey's recycling rules. Your account manager can confirm any item before you load it.
