At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Middletown, Delaware, and southern New Castle County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Middletown has grown quickly along the Route 301 and Route 1 corridors, and new neighborhoods, home construction, remodels, and move-in cleanouts keep containers busy for homeowners and contractors.
Your price depends on the container size, the type of debris, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees where the load is dropped. In Delaware, one state authority runs the landfills and sets a single fee schedule. We'll cover that, plus Town street rules and the items Delaware keeps out of the trash.

Here's what shapes the price of a dumpster in Middletown.
Size is where it starts. A larger container costs more, but choosing one that fits keeps you clear of overage charges and a second haul.
Weight drives the rest. Delaware charges by the ton at every disposal site, so heavy debris like shingles, tile, and plaster raises the bill faster than bulky, light items.
The disposal fee itself is the same statewide. The Delaware Solid Waste Authority's fiscal year 2027 fee schedule charges $80.00 per ton for both household trash and construction debris, with a $7.50 minimum per vehicle. That's a disposal fee, not a rental price.
Yard waste can get expensive. The same fee schedule adds a $500.00 charge to a load when grass, leaves, or branches make up more than 10% of it. Keep yard cleanup out of your remodel container.

Pick your size based on how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster handles a bathroom gut, a bedroom cleanout, or a small deck removal. Choose it for concrete, brick, or tile too, since dense debris hits the weight limit before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a garage cleanout, new floors in a few rooms, or a small roof. You get more space for a modest step up in cost.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Middletown for a whole-house cleanout or a remodel that covers several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits big renovations, additions, new homes, and demolition with mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size. It's built for commercial projects, large tear-downs, and major property cleanouts.
Tell your account manager what the project involves, and they'll help you pick the right fit.
A dumpster on private property, like your driveway, doesn't need approval from the Town of Middletown. The question comes up only when a container would sit on a street, alley, or sidewalk.
The Town's code says no one may leave an obstruction on a street, sidewalk, alley, or gutter without written consent from the Mayor and Council or the chair of the Street Committee. The code makes an exception for trash receptacles, but it doesn't say whether a roll-off counts as one. So the safe move is to ask the Town before the container goes in the road.
Call the Town of Middletown's Permits, Licensing and Inspections Department at 302-378-1171. The office is at Town Hall, 19 W. Green Street, and it's open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for walk-ins, with calls taken until 4:30 p.m.
Get the Town's answer before you schedule delivery. If you aren't sure whether your spot counts as public space, your account manager can help you reach the right contact.
Most construction and household debris is fine to load. The limits come from Delaware's disposal rules and the policies at state disposal sites.
Delaware's Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control says yard waste may not go in your trash or in Delaware landfills. Grass, leaves, and brush should be composted or recycled instead.
The state also treats five items as universal waste, a type of hazardous waste with its own handling rules: batteries, mercury-containing equipment, old farm pesticides, lamps such as fluorescent bulbs, and aerosol cans. Keep them out of your container.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, and fuel can't go in a standard dumpster either. Asbestos needs special packaging, paperwork, and an appointment at the landfill, so it can't ride in a regular load. Tires are charged at a higher rate by weight, so mention them when you book.
If you're unsure about anything, 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.
The Delaware Solid Waste Authority, a state authority, owns and runs the landfills and transfer stations across Delaware. Two of its sites are the likely destinations for a Middletown load.
The closest is Pine Tree Transfer Station, at 276 Pine Tree Road, Townsend, DE 19734, a few miles south of town. It's open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The county's landfill is Cherry Island Landfill, at 1706 East 12th Street, Wilmington, DE 19809. According to the authority's landfill page, it's open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. It takes approved asbestos only by appointment.
Because the authority charges the same per-ton fee at both sites, the choice changes the drive more than the bill. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain the fees before delivery.
276 Pine Tree Road, Townsend, DE 19734
Open Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
1706 East 12th Street, Wilmington, DE 19809
Open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Most Middletown dumpster rentals can be set up within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days ahead gives you time to check with the Town about street placement and get your drop spot ready.
These tips help things go smoothly:
Keep disposal hours in mind as well. Both nearby sites are closed on Sundays, and Cherry Island closes at 3 p.m. on Saturday, so a container filled over the weekend usually goes out 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.
Dumpster rentals in Middletown 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 Delaware's per-ton disposal fee also shape the total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rate when you book.
For most projects, a dumpster costs less. Every trip to a state disposal site comes with a minimum charge, fuel, and time spent loading and unloading. A real cleanout can take several runs, while one container handles the whole job in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's still room for a mattress, a couple of chairs, and a stack of boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, which means you'll run out of space before weight becomes a problem.
In Middletown, keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your dumpster. Delaware also bans yard waste from landfills and treats batteries, fluorescent bulbs, mercury items, and aerosol cans as universal waste. Ask your account manager where those items should go instead.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Since Delaware charges disposal by the ton, a small container packed with tile or brick can still go over its weight limit. Keeping heavy debris in a separate load helps you control the cost.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. Dumpsters are priced by the job, not by the day, and debris weight moves the bill more than time does. Ask your account manager about the included weight and any extra-day charge.
Most household and building debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, carpet, cabinets, roofing, flooring, furniture, and general clutter. Delaware charges the same disposal rate for household trash and construction debris. If you're unsure about an item, your account manager can check before you load it.
