At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Keene, New Hampshire, and the surrounding Cheshire County towns in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older homes getting new kitchens and baths, attic and barn cleanouts, roof replacements, and ongoing construction work keep containers busy with homeowners and contractors in the Monadnock region.
What you pay depends on the size you pick, what you're throwing out, how long you keep the dumpster, and the disposal fees at the City's transfer station. Below, you'll find our price ranges, the City's own disposal rates, the encumbrance permit, and the items New Hampshire keeps out of landfills.

Here's what drives the cost of a dumpster in Keene.
Size is the first piece. A bigger container costs more, but one that's too small can mean a second haul and a larger bill.
Weight matters more here than in many places, because Keene's own transfer station charges by the pound. The City's Recycling Center fee page lists $186 per ton for mixed construction debris like sheetrock and pressure treated wood. Recyclable construction debris costs $160 per ton, and a clean load of shingles costs $125 per ton.
That makes sorting worth a look. A roof tear-off kept free of trash and plastic, or a load of clean lumber, can cost less to dispose of than a mixed pile. Ask your account manager whether splitting your debris makes sense.
Some items carry their own fees at the transfer station, including mattresses with springs, box springs, Freon appliances, and electronics. List them when you book so there are no surprises.

Weigh up how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits a bathroom remodel, one room of clutter, or a load of old plaster and brick. Heavy material fills the weight limit before it fills the container.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage or barn cleanout, a flooring job, or a small roof. You get more space for a small step up in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a favorite in Keene for emptying a whole house or remodeling several rooms at once.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits major renovations, additions, and new homes that create a lot of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest size we rent. It's designed for commercial work, demolition, and large property cleanouts.
Let your account manager know what you're tackling, and they'll help you choose.
When your dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway, you usually won't need a City permit in Keene. If the container would take up part of a street, sidewalk, or other public way, check with the City first.
The City of Keene lists an Encumbrance Permit Application under Public Works, and you apply through the City's online permit portal. The Public Works rates and fees page lists the Encumbrance Permit at $50, and it notes that inspection fees may apply. The City doesn't say in writing whether a roll-off falls under this permit or how long review takes.
Call Keene Public Works at 350 Marlboro Street, 603-352-6550, to ask what's needed at your address. The main office is open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Your account manager can help you reach the right contact.
Most remodel, roofing, and cleanout debris can go in your container. New Hampshire law and the City's transfer station set the limits.
New Hampshire bans wet-cell batteries, lithium-ion batteries, and electronic devices from every landfill and incinerator in the state. Leaves and yard waste are banned from those facilities too. The City reminds residents that it's illegal to put rechargeable lithium-ion batteries in the trash.
The Keene Recycling Center won't take medication, ammunition, fireworks, gunpowder, or flares. Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either, and the City runs separate household hazardous waste collection days.
Keep TVs, computers, and batteries out of your container, and ask your account manager about anything else you're unsure of.
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.
Keene keeps its trash close to home. The City licenses the haulers that collect waste in Keene, and a City rule requires waste generated in Keene to be brought to the City's own transfer station. Before you book, your account manager will confirm how the hauler permit applies to your job.
That means most loads go to the Keene Recycling Center and Transfer Station at 55 Old Summit Road, Keene, NH 03431, off Route 12. It's open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. It's closed on Sundays and major holidays, and the phone number is 603-352-5739.
The City owns and runs the transfer station, and a private contractor trucks the trash to a landfill elsewhere in the state. The center takes checks and disposal tickets only, not cash or cards. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain the fees before delivery.
55 Old Summit Road, Keene, NH 03431
Open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.; checks or disposal tickets only.
Most dumpster rentals in Keene can be set up within one to two business days, and the container arrives in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days early leaves time to check on permits and prepare the drop spot.
Some tips for a smooth drop-off:
Keep the transfer station's hours in mind. It closes at 1 p.m. on Saturdays and stays closed on Sundays, so a container filled over the weekend usually leaves 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.
Rentals in Keene 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. The weight of your debris and the City's per-ton fee at the transfer station also shape the price. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates.
For a big project, a dumpster usually wins. Each trip to the transfer station is weighed and billed, it accepts only checks or tickets, and it closes early on Saturdays. Hauling a remodel's worth of debris yourself adds up in time and gas. One container gets it all out in one haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's plenty of room for a dresser, chairs, and boxes. With furniture, you'll run out of space well before the load gets too heavy.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. New Hampshire also bans batteries, electronics, and yard waste from landfills. The Keene Recycling Center refuses medication, ammunition, fireworks, and flares. Mattresses, Freon appliances, and tires carry their own fees, so tell us about them.
The 10-yard dumpster has our lowest price, at $399 to $499. It's a good fit for small jobs and heavy debris. Because Keene charges by the ton, a small container full of plaster or shingles can still pass its weight allowance, so plan heavy loads with your account manager.
In most cases, three days costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price per job, and the weight of your debris affects the bill much more than the rental length. Ask your account manager about included weight and any extra-day charge.
Most home and construction debris is fine, including lumber, sheetrock, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general clutter. Clean shingles and recyclable construction debris cost less to dispose of in Keene when kept separate. Your account manager can confirm any item you're unsure about before it goes in.
