Several things decide what you'll pay for a dumpster in Mequon.
The size you pick is the base. Larger containers cost more, but the right size keeps you away from overage charges and a second pickup.
Weight plays a big role. Plaster, tile, shingles, and anything with soil in it get heavy fast, and landfills charge by the ton.
Where the load goes matters as well. Mequon doesn't run its own landfill or trash service, so debris heads to a licensed landfill in the Milwaukee area. The closest ones don't post a per-ton price, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources' landfill fee page, which tells people to contact the landfill directly. That's why your account manager confirms disposal costs for your specific load.
Wisconsin's disposal bans also shape the job. Appliances, electronics, tires, and yard waste can't go to a landfill, so pulling them out ahead of time keeps your container free for the debris that can.

Think about both volume and weight when you pick a size. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for one stripped room, a small bathroom, or a patio tear-out. It's the right call for concrete, brick, or plaster, since dense debris hits the weight limit well before the top.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a garage cleanout or a single layer of shingles off a modest roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a favorite for Mequon basement finishes, whole-house cleanouts, and flooring pulled from several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, full renovations, and new home construction with lots of mixed material.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's meant for commercial builds, major demolition, and large estate cleanouts. On a wooded lot with a narrow drive, a smaller size may be easier to place.
Talk the project through with your account manager, and they'll recommend the right size.
If the container stays on private property, like your driveway or yard, you generally won't need a permit in Mequon. It's worth checking before any part of it sits in the street or the strip of land along the road.
That strip matters here. Mequon's community FAQ explains that the road right-of-way on residential streets usually extends about 30 feet from the center of the road. A spot near the end of a long driveway may be inside it even if it feels like your yard.
The City's right-of-way permit application is written for building, maintaining, or repairing utilities. It doesn't mention dumpsters. For questions about placing a container in the right-of-way, call the City of Mequon Engineering Division at 262-236-2934. Engineering is at City Hall, 11333 N. Cedarburg Road, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Your account manager can help you figure out where the right-of-way line falls and who to call.
Most remodeling and cleanout debris is fine to load. Wisconsin's landfill bans are the main thing to plan around.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources' banned materials list keeps these items out of landfills: electronics, lead-acid batteries, major appliances, used oil filters, waste oil, and waste tires. Yard waste is banned too, including grass, leaves, garden debris, and brush under six inches across. So are common recyclables like cardboard, cans, glass bottles, newspaper, office paper, and #1 and #2 plastic containers.
Mequon residents can drop off TVs, computers, printers, and cell phones at the electronics recycling area at the Department of Public Works, 10800 N Industrial Drive. Large appliances, batteries, and fluorescent bulbs aren't taken there.
The usual limits apply as well: no hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, or asbestos in a standard dumpster.
If you're not sure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in.
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.
Mequon doesn't provide garbage service. Residents sign up with a City-licensed hauler for regular trash and recycling, and there's no City landfill or transfer station.
Dumpster loads from Mequon go to licensed landfills in the region. The nearest is in Menomonee Falls, about 7 miles southwest, with others in Franklin and Muskego. The two closest don't publish their per-ton rates in the state's landfill fee survey, so the cost depends on which site takes your load and what's in it.
For you, that means sorting matters. A clean load with the banned items removed is easier to place and simpler to price. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and walk you through the fees before delivery.
Most Mequon rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A few days' notice gives you time to check the right-of-way and clear a spot.
Here's how to keep delivery smooth:
Landfill hours vary by site, so ask your account manager about weekend pickups if your project wraps up on a Friday or Saturday.

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.
Dumpster rentals in Mequon 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. Debris weight and landfill fees shape the final cost, and nearby landfills don't post their rates. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
For most projects, a dumpster costs less. Mequon has no City dump, so every self-haul trip means driving to a landfill in another county and paying at the scale. After two or three trips, one rental that we haul away is usually cheaper and much easier.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving room for a mattress, armchairs, and flattened boxes. Furniture tends to fill the space before it gets anywhere near the weight limit.
Wisconsin bans electronics, lead-acid batteries, major appliances, tires, waste oil, oil filters, and yard waste from landfills, so keep them out. Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in either. Mequon residents can recycle many electronics at the Department of Public Works.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. Heavy material like plaster or tile can still push it past the weight allowance, since landfills charge by the ton. Size the container to the material, and keep heavy debris in its own load.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our five-day rental, because dumpsters are priced by the job and not by the day. The weight of your debris has more effect on the bill. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and any extra-day charge.
Most construction and household debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, flooring, cabinets, roofing, furniture, and general clutter. Brick and concrete are fine within the weight limit. Just leave out the items Wisconsin bans from landfills, and ask your account manager about anything you're unsure of.
