Storm repairs, remodels in older neighborhoods near the university, and a steady pace of home and commercial construction toward Youngsville and Broussard keep our containers busy.

Here's what shapes your dumpster price in Lafayette.
The size comes first. A larger container costs more, but choosing the right one keeps you from ordering a second haul or paying for extra weight.
The debris matters next. Wet sheetrock and flooring from a flood repair can be very heavy, and so can brick and concrete. Old furniture and boxes are bulky but light.
Where the load goes also counts. Construction debris from Lafayette often goes to a construction and demolition landfill in Carencro, which prices each load by its size when it arrives. Household trash and furniture can't go there, so a mixed cleanout load may head to a different site with different fees.
Local rules play a part too. Lafayette Consolidated Government's curbside bulky pickup won't take construction debris from a remodel or repair. LCG tells residents to rent a dumpster or take the debris to a construction landfill instead.

Size your container by how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, a small cleanout, or brush from a storm. It's also the best pick for concrete, brick, and broken tile, since heavy material reaches the weight limit before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers mid-size work like a garage cleanout, a kitchen update, or flooring from a few rooms. You get extra room without paying for a much bigger container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a go-to size in Lafayette for flood repairs, whole-home cleanouts, and remodels across several rooms. Most home projects fit with room left over.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works well for large renovations, new homes, and tearing out a porch or shed. It helps when you have a mix of lumber, drywall, and roofing.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest. It's built for commercial jobs, large demolition work, and cleanouts at offices, shops, and warehouses.
Not sure what size you need? Describe the project to your account manager, and they'll point you to the right one.
A dumpster on private property, like your driveway or a job site, usually doesn't need a permit in Lafayette. That changes once any part of the container sits on a street, sidewalk, or other public space.
Lafayette Consolidated Government's code allows construction materials and equipment on a sidewalk or part of the street only with a permit from the building inspector. Even then, nothing may block free passage along the street, alley, or sidewalk. For commercial jobs, the code says the waste container must sit off public streets.
If your project needs to close a lane, LCG lists a construction-related Lane/Road Closure Permit on its road permits page. No fee is posted there.
For questions, call Lafayette Consolidated Government at 337-291-8200, or dial 311. If you're not sure whether your spot is public or private, your account manager can help you find the right office.
Most remodeling and construction debris can go in your container. The limits come from Louisiana's landfill rules and from what the receiving landfill accepts.
The construction landfill in Carencro won't take household trash, food waste, carpet and padding, couches, or recliners. It also refuses refrigerators, stoves, air conditioners, water heaters, tires, and lawnmowers. Asbestos, creosote, hazardous waste, liquid waste, and wet paint are banned too.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, and fuel don't belong in any standard dumpster. Car batteries, gas cylinders, and household chemicals need special handling as well.
Trees are accepted, but trunks thicker than six inches are not. If you have a big cleanout mixed with remodel debris, mention it when you book so we can plan where each load goes.
When you aren't sure about something, ask your account manager 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.
Much of the construction and demolition debris from Lafayette goes to Acadiana Landfill at 4046 N.E. Evangeline Thwy, Carencro, LA 70520. It's a construction, demolition, and inert debris landfill permitted by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality. It's open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and it has a second site in Broussard.
The landfill takes lumber, sheetrock, brick, concrete, asphalt, metal, brush, and leaves. Every load is inspected at the office before unloading, and the price is set based on the size of the load.
Household trash, furniture, and appliances need a different destination. Your account manager can confirm where your load is going and explain any fees before delivery.

Most Lafayette rentals can be booked within one to two business days, and the truck shows up within a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a little early gives you time to sort out any street permit and clear the drop area. It can also help you save.

Dumpster rentals in Lafayette run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, for a five-day rental. The weight of your debris and the landfill's fees can change the total. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
A dumpster usually costs less for anything bigger than a trailer load or two. Hauling it yourself means paying at the landfill each trip, and loads have to be dug off your trailer for an extra fee if you can't unload them yourself. One container covers the whole job.
Yes. A regular three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. There's still space for a bed frame, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. Just know that furniture has to go to a landfill that accepts household items.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your Lafayette dumpster. Car batteries, gas cylinders, and household chemicals need special handling. Tires and appliances like refrigerators and water heaters should be set aside and mentioned when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. Your final cost still depends on weight. A small container full of brick or wet sheetrock can pass its limit and add overage fees, so it helps to keep heavy debris separate.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as five days, since dumpsters are priced by the job instead of by the day. The weight of your debris matters more than the rental length. Ask your account manager how much weight is included before delivery.
Most construction and home debris is allowed in a Lafayette dumpster, including lumber, sheetrock, roofing, brick, concrete, metal, and brush. Furniture and general cleanout junk are fine too, but they go to a different landfill than building debris. If you're unsure about an item, ask your account manager first.
