At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Key West, Florida, and the Lower Keys in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Old Town's wood-frame conch houses need constant repair, salt air is hard on roofs and decks, hotel and vacation rental turnovers run year round, and construction on Stock Island and the outer keys keeps adding to the pile.
What you pay depends on the container size, the weight and type of debris, how long you keep it, and the disposal charges on the load. Below you will find our price ranges, how the City handles containers in the street, what has to stay out, and where the debris ends up.

Key West has more moving parts than most cities, and each one shows up in the quote.
Size still comes first. Picking the container that covers the whole job beats paying for a second one, which is a bigger deal here because every truck movement takes planning.
Disposal is charged by weight. The City's scale on Rockland Key bills construction and demolition debris at $182.34 per ton, and that rate flows straight through to your total. Heavy material like tile, concrete, and wet lumber adds up quickly.
Street placement costs money in Old Town. If the container has to sit in the right-of-way, the City charges an application fee and a permit fee of $10 each for the first fifteen days, plus $20 a day for every parking meter the container blocks. A driveway or side yard, where you have one, avoids all of it.
Access is the last piece. Narrow lanes, low utility lines, and overhanging trees limit which size we can deliver on some blocks, so your account manager will ask about the approach before booking.

Start with volume, then weigh the access on your street. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one most Old Town projects use. It fits a bathroom gut, a small deck, or a single-room cleanout, and its short footprint works on lanes where nothing bigger will fit. It is also the right size for tile and concrete.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a kitchen remodel, a full cottage cleanout, or flooring pulled from several rooms, while still staying manageable on a tight street.
The 20-Yard Dumpster suits a whole-house cleanout or a roof tear-off where there is room to set it, such as a larger lot or a commercial site.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for additions, gut remodels, and new construction on properties with real space around them.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It fits commercial tear-outs, hotel renovations, and larger projects on Stock Island and the outer keys.
Not sure what will fit on your block? Describe the site to your account manager and they will recommend a size.
A container on private property, such as a driveway or a fenced job site, generally does not need a City permit in Key West. The City is unusually clear about the other case, and it publishes a form written specifically for containers.
Key West's dumpster application covers placing a container in the City right-of-way and goes through the Parking Department. It asks for site details and a placement diagram showing cross streets, yellow curbs, the driveway, and exactly where the container will sit. Applications go in at least three business days ahead, or five if unmetered parking has to be taken and barricades set. Containers may not sit on a sidewalk or within thirty feet of any corner, and the approved permit has to stay posted on the street side of the container near the top.
One detail matters for how you book: the permit is issued to the container provider, not the property owner. Call the City at 305-809-3945 with questions, or Engineering Services at 305-809-3965, both at 1300 White Street. Your account manager will handle the application side and confirm the right contact for your address.
Most remodeling and cleanout debris is fine to load. The limits come from Florida rules, City rules, and what the scale will take.
Florida makes it illegal to put rechargeable batteries in the trash, including nickel-cadmium and small sealed lead-acid types and products built around them. They have to be recycled or taken to a permitted facility, and the rule applies to households and businesses alike.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of a standard dumpster. Key West also treats dumping appliances, construction material, boats, trailers, and vegetation on City land or streets as a serious offense, so nothing should be left beside a container when the job wraps up.
Tires and propane tanks have their own route. Monroe County takes used tires at its transfer stations for $150 per ton and accepts propane tanks free from residents, and the City runs a household hazardous waste collection on the first Saturday of the month. When something has you guessing, ask your account manager before it goes in.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Nothing stays in the Keys. Every load is weighed here, then trucked up the Overseas Highway for disposal on the mainland, which is why disposal costs more in Key West than in most Florida cities.
Debris from Key West jobs is weighed at the City of Key West Solid Waste Transfer Station at 161 Toppino Industrial Drive on Rockland Key, FL 33040, just up from Stock Island. The City's rate page lists hours of Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., with the scale closing fifteen minutes before the gate each day. The station is closed on Sundays and City holidays, and it takes payment only by card or commercial account.
The City coordinates garbage, recycling, and construction debris collection through one contracted hauler, which shapes how a temporary container is arranged in Key West. Your account manager will confirm how that applies at your address, where your load is going, and what the disposal charges look like before the truck is scheduled.
Most Key West rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. When a street permit is involved, plan on the City's three to five business day lead time as well.
These five steps keep delivery day simple:
Hurricane season is the other thing to plan around. From June through November, keep the job tight and the container emptied, because loose debris on a lot becomes a hazard the moment a storm is named.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves all of Key West, from Old Town and Bahama Village to New Town, Midtown, the Casa Marina area, and out across Stock Island, Rockland Key, and the Lower Keys along the Overseas Highway. Give us your address and we will confirm delivery for it.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will match the container to the street, take care of the placement paperwork, and give you a clear price on the call.
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 Key West rental runs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. Island disposal charges and any street permit fees add to that. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Self-hauling means loading a truck, driving out to Rockland Key, paying by weight, and repeating the trip, and the scale takes only cards or commercial accounts. For a remodel or a cleanout, one container at the property usually costs less once you count the trips and the time.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a chair, and boxes. Bulky furniture fills a small container long before the weight allowance becomes the limit, which suits most island cleanouts.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Florida also bars rechargeable batteries from the trash, and tires and propane tanks go to a county transfer station instead. Ask your account manager where those items belong before your container arrives.
Our 10-yard container has the lowest price, at $399 to $499, and it is also the easiest size to place on a narrow street. Weight decides the rest of the bill, so keeping tile, concrete, and other dense material in its own load helps hold the total down.
Three days normally costs the same as our standard five-day rental, since we price by the job rather than by the day. What the container weighs at pickup matters far more than the number of days. Ask your account manager what tonnage your quote includes.
Most home and construction debris belongs in a Key West dumpster, including lumber, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, carpet, and furniture. Clean concrete and tile do best as their own load. When something seems borderline, check with your account manager before you load it.
