At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Missoula, Montana, and the rest of the Missoula Valley in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older homes near downtown get new kitchens, roofs, and basements every season, and new construction keeps spreading across the valley. That mix keeps homeowners, landlords, and builders busy with projects that call for a roll-off container.
What you'll pay is shaped by the container size, the debris you're tossing, the length of your rental, and the disposal fees at the landfill. Here, we walk through price ranges, the City's street permit, what Montana law expects, and how to plan around winter weather.

In Missoula, a few factors move your price up or down.
The container itself is the first piece. Bigger sizes cost more, but an undersized dumpster can leave you paying for a second trip, so it pays to size up honestly.
Weight is the next piece. Disposal here is billed by the ton, so roofing, tile, dirt, and plaster cost more to get rid of than the same space filled with old furniture.
The landfill sets the third piece. Missoula's trash and debris go to a privately run landfill on Old Coal Mine Road, and that operator doesn't post a public price list. Those fees are built into your quote, and your account manager can explain how weight affects them.
Placement can matter, too. A container in your driveway needs no City paperwork, but one in the street or alley needs a permit first, which can add a little time before delivery.

Think about the amount of debris and how dense it is. Prime Dumpster rents five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for one room, a small bathroom, or a load of brush after fall cleanup. For heavy material like concrete, brick, or dirt, it's usually the best pick, since weight adds up before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is a good fit for a single-layer roof, a garage full of old boxes, or new flooring in a few rooms. It gives you more space without a big price jump.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size many Missoula homeowners choose for a whole-house cleanout or a remodel that spans several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits large renovations, new homes, and additions where framing scraps and drywall pile up fast.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest container we offer. It's meant for commercial sites, big demolition jobs, and large property cleanouts. Keep in mind it may not fit on a small residential driveway.
If you're torn between two sizes, your account manager can talk through the project with you and pick the one that fits.
A dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or a fenced job site, generally doesn't need a City permit in Missoula. The answer changes when the container sits in the street, the boulevard, or an alley, since those are public right-of-way.
For that, the City of Missoula asks for a Right-of-Way Use Permit. The City's permit FAQ answers the question directly: a temporary construction dumpster in the right-of-way by your house or business needs this permit, and you apply by submitting the Right-of-Way Use permit application.
Applications go through the City's Permit and Business Licensing Coordinators at City Hall, part of the Community Planning, Development and Innovation department. The City doesn't post a fee or a review time online, so ask the coordinators about both when you apply, and leave a few extra days before your delivery date.
If you're not sure whether your spot counts as right-of-way, your account manager can help you track down the right City contact.
Most household and construction debris can go in your container without a problem. The limits come from Montana's waste rules and from what the landfill agrees to take.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. Car batteries, propane tanks, and anything under pressure stay out too.
Some items are handled separately rather than refused outright. Tires and appliances that hold refrigerant often carry their own charge at the landfill, so mention them when you book.
Montana also takes dumping seriously. State law bars leaving waste on public roads or public property, or within 200 yards of them, without permission. A person found guilty faces a fine of up to $500, and a civil penalty can reach $5,000, according to the Montana Code. A rented dumpster that's hauled to a permitted landfill keeps you on the right side of that rule.
Before you load anything you're unsure about, check with 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.
Most dumpster loads from Missoula go to the Missoula Municipal Solid Waste Landfill at 3737 Old Coal Mine Road in Missoula. It's the area's main landfill for household trash and construction debris. Montana's Department of Environmental Quality regulates the site and keeps its operating permit records on file.
The landfill is privately operated, and it doesn't publish public hours or a price list. That means disposal costs are set by the operator and can change. It also means special items like tires, appliances, and asbestos are handled under the site's own rules.
Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain any disposal charges before delivery.
We can usually schedule a Missoula rental within one to two business days, and your container arrives during a 24 to 48 hour delivery window. Booking a few days ahead gives you time to handle a street permit if you need one and to get the drop spot ready.
Here are a few ways to help things go smoothly:
Weather matters more here than in many cities. A snowstorm can push back delivery or pickup, so leave a little room in your schedule during the winter months.

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.
In Missoula, a dumpster rental costs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. Your debris type and the landfill's disposal fees also shape the final price. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For bigger projects, renting usually costs less. Every trip to the landfill means paying a disposal charge, plus fuel and an hour or more of your day. Once a cleanout needs more than a few pickup loads, one dumpster that we haul away is often cheaper and much easier.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. That leaves space for a mattress, a bed frame, chairs, and several boxes. With furniture, you'll usually fill the container's space well before you get close to its weight limit.
Don't put hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, or asbestos in a Missoula dumpster. Tires and refrigerant appliances are often handled separately at the landfill, so tell us about them when you book. Your account manager can check anything else you're unsure about.
The 10-yard dumpster costs the least, at $399 to $499. Keep in mind that disposal is billed by weight, so a small container loaded with shingles or dirt can go over its limit. Putting heavy debris in its own container is a simple way to keep costs down.
Three days usually costs the same as five, because we price dumpsters by the job, not by the day. The weight of your debris affects the bill more than the rental length. Ask your account manager how much tonnage is included and what extra days cost.
You can load most everyday debris, such as lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general household junk. Yard waste like branches and brush is usually fine as well. Heavy material like concrete and dirt is allowed but best kept to a small container. Your account manager can confirm anything unusual.
