Kitchen and bath updates in older homes, basement and attic cleanouts, new roofs, and a steady flow of construction and commercial work keep our containers busy here.
Four things set your price: the container size, the type of debris, how long you keep it, and the county's disposal fees. The sections below walk through local cost factors, sizes, the rule for street placement, banned items, and where your debris ends up.

In Linden, the county has more say over your dumpster cost than it does in many other places.
Size is the first choice you make. A container that's too small leads to a second haul, and one that's far too big means paying for space you never use.
Weight comes next. Plaster, tile, brick, and old roofing get heavy fast, and every load is weighed when it's dumped. Appliances and tires may need special handling, so bring them up when you call.
Disposal fees are set by the county, not by us. The Union County Utilities Authority charges $134.75 per ton for bulky waste and construction debris made in the county, from June 20, 2026 to June 19, 2027. Household trash costs $124.25 per ton for 2026 at the county's plant in Rahway. Those are disposal fees, not rental prices.
The City's own options won't cover a remodel. Linden's disposal yard rules turn away building contractor renovation material and limit a resident's building materials to two 10-gallon pails. The City also won't collect trash that a contractor creates. For real renovation work, a dumpster is the practical way to get debris off the property.

Start with two questions: how much debris will you have, and how heavy will it be? Prime Dumpster rents five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits a single bathroom tear-out, a spare room purge, or a patio of broken concrete. Brick and block hit its weight allowance long before they fill the space.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is a good step up for a one-car garage, new flooring in a few rooms, or a small roof. It adds room without a large jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size many Linden homeowners pick when they empty a whole house or redo a kitchen and a bath at the same time.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, gut renovations, and new home builds that throw off a mix of lumber, drywall, and packaging.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container. Contractors use it for commercial builds, warehouse cleanouts, and large demolition jobs.
Describe your job to your account manager, and they'll match it to the right size.
If the container sits on your driveway or inside a private job site, Linden generally doesn't ask for a permit. Things change when the dumpster has to go on a City street or sidewalk.
Linden's traffic rules bar anyone from leaving objects on a street or sidewalk that block people or cars. The rules carve out one exception that fits building work: materials placed under a building permit from the City's Building Subcode Official, with that official's approval of where they sit. The Police Department can order an obstruction removed after giving the property owner notice.
The Building Subcode Official works in the Construction Code Department at 301 North Wood Avenue, Room 204. Call 908-474-8460, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and ask whether your container can stand in the street and what approval you need. The Road Opening Permit from the City's engineers covers digging in the road, so it isn't a dumpster permit. County roads answer to Union County, and state highways answer to the New Jersey Department of Transportation.
If you're not sure who controls the road in front of your address, your account manager can help you track down the right office.
Most remodel and cleanout debris can go in your container. New Jersey's electronics rule and the limits at county and City sites decide what can't.
New Jersey's Electronic Waste Management Act keeps TVs, computers, monitors, laptops, tablets, and desktop printers out of the trash. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection says consumers can recycle these devices for free at approved collection sites. In Linden, the City's recycling center on Donaldson Place accepts them too.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. The City's disposal yard also turns away pesticides, antifreeze, pool chemicals, propane tanks, gasoline, needles, and ammunition, which makes a handy checklist before you load.
Motor oil, cooking oil, grass clippings, and leaves have their own drop-off at the recycling center. Let us know about appliances and tires when you book so they can be handled the right way.
Before anything questionable goes in, run it past your account manager.
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.
Union County decides where its trash is disposed of. The Union County Utilities Authority assigns each type of waste to a set facility, and its compliance officers inspect haulers to make sure loads follow that plan.
Bulky waste and construction debris, which is what most dumpster loads hold, go to a privately run transfer station in Elizabeth under the county's disposal contract.
Household trash goes to the Union County Resource Recovery Facility at 1499 Routes 1 & 9 North, Rahway, NJ 07065. The Authority owns the plant, which can burn up to 1,540 tons of waste a day and turns it into electricity. The Authority's office at the same address answers at 732-382-9400.
Two City sites help Linden residents with smaller loads. The Municipal Bulk Trash Disposal Area at 700 Lower Road is open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., for residents with ID, one day a week. The Linden Recycling Center at 2 Donaldson Place, off West Elizabeth Avenue, takes electronics, oil, and yard waste. It's open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Your account manager will confirm which facility your load is headed to and explain the disposal fees before we deliver.
1499 Routes 1 & 9 North, Rahway, NJ 07065
Owned by the Union County Utilities Authority; takes household trash from Union County and closes on major holidays.
700 Lower Road, Linden, NJ 07036
Linden residents only, Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.; no contractor renovation debris.
2 Donaldson Place, Linden, NJ 07036
Open weekdays 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.; takes electronics, oil, and yard waste.
Most Linden rentals can be set up within one to two business days, and the container shows up in a 24 to 48 hour window. If the only spot is on the street, call a few days early so the City has time to weigh in.
A little prep makes delivery day easy:
Holidays can slow things down. The county's Rahway plant shuts on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, and a planned boiler outage from October 12 to 14 may mean slower turnaround there.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves homes and job sites throughout Linden and the surrounding Union and Middlesex County area, including Rahway and Roselle right next door, Elizabeth to the north, Westfield to the northwest, Carteret to the southeast, and Perth Amboy to the south. Wherever your project sits, we set delivery, pickup, and disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll suggest a container size, explain how the county's disposal fees apply, and give you a straightforward 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 Linden rentals 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. Your debris type and the county's per-ton disposal fee also shape the total. Your account manager will go over included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For anything past a small load, a dumpster usually wins. Linden's bulk yard refuses contractor renovation material and limits building debris to two 10-gallon pails, so a remodel has nowhere local to go. Hauling it yourself also means fuel, time, and a fee at every stop. One container handles the whole job.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, so there's still space for a mattress, a few chairs, and bags of household clutter. Furniture is bulky but light, which means you'll run out of room well before you reach the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, pesticides, and asbestos out of your Linden dumpster. New Jersey also keeps TVs, computers, monitors, and laptops out of the trash, and the City's recycling center on Donaldson Place takes them. Mention tires and appliances when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Weight still matters, because Union County charges for disposal by the ton. A small container packed with tile or plaster can run into overage fees quickly. Keeping heavy debris in its own load is a simple way to hold down your bill.
Most three-day rentals cost the same as a five-day rental. We price dumpsters by the job, not by the day, and weight shapes your bill far more than the calendar. Before delivery, ask your account manager how many tons are included and what an extra day would cost.
Most debris from a home or job site is fine. That includes lumber, drywall, flooring, cabinets, shingles, furniture, carpet, and cardboard. Concrete, brick, and block can go in too, though heavy material may call for a smaller container. If you're unsure about something, your account manager can check before you load it.
