At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Newport News, Virginia, and the rest of the Virginia Peninsula in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Shipyard and industrial work, military moves that empty a house in a week, and steady construction and remodeling from Denbigh down to the southeast end all keep roll-off containers in demand.
Your price rests on four things: the container size, the weight and type of debris, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees charged where the load lands. Below you'll find our ranges, the city's strict right-of-way rules, and a clear list of what cannot go in the container.

A Newport News quote comes together from four plain inputs.
Container size leads the list. Going one size up is cheaper than ordering a second container when a job runs long, so round up if you are unsure.
Debris weight follows. Shingles, brick, plaster, and concrete are heavy for the room they take, and a small container packed with them can meet its weight limit while it still looks half empty.
Disposal is the third. Loads are weighed at the landfill, and that charge tracks the tonnage rather than the days you kept the container.
City rules are the fourth, and they carry real weight here. Newport News treats a container set in the street as an object in the public right-of-way, which brings a permit, insurance, and a bond into the picture. Your account manager sorts that out with you before a delivery date is set.

Pick the size by volume, then confirm the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest container we bring out. It fits a bathroom remodel or a light cleanout, and it is the right answer for concrete, brick, and dirt.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage cleanout, a flooring pull, or a small roof tear-off, and it still fits a typical driveway in the Denbigh area.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most local households choose. It absorbs a full house cleanout or a remodel covering several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is made for additions, new builds, and demolition, where debris comes in bulky and mixed together.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. Commercial construction, industrial cleanouts, and big tear-downs are what it exists for.
Deciding between two sizes? Talk the job through with your account manager and let them pick.
On private property, such as your own driveway or a job site you control, a container needs no city right-of-way permit. The moment it reaches a street, a sidewalk, an alley, or a city easement, the rules change sharply.
The city's Permit Office says it is unlawful to place any stationary object in the city right-of-way without a permit, and the application asks for more than a form. You need proof of general liability insurance with the city named as an additional insured, a refundable performance bond of at least $5,000.00, and a temporary traffic control plan that follows the state work area manual.
Applications go in online, and the fee changes with the permit type and the size of the work area. An incomplete submission is the usual reason a permit takes longer than expected.
Call the city at 757-933-2311 with questions, or let your account manager point you to the right person at the Permit Office. In most cases, the simplest path is putting the container on private property instead.
Everyday household and construction debris loads without any trouble. The limits come from Virginia law and from what the receiving landfill will take.
Virginia law makes it unlawful to put a used lead acid battery in mixed municipal trash. Car and truck batteries have to go back to a battery retailer or wholesaler, to a smelter, or to an authorized recycling facility.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos never belong in a standard container. Older homes in the southeast end of the city can hold asbestos in pipe wrap and floor tile, so test before a crew starts tearing material out.
Tires, refrigerant appliances, and electronics also travel their own routes. The city only takes household chemicals at quarterly collection events, so plan those in advance and tell your account manager what is in the pile before you load.
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.
Bulk material the city collects from homes is trucked to the Bethel Landfill in Hampton, and container loads from Newport News jobs follow the same short route across the city line. Everything is weighed on arrival, which is why the weight of your debris matters more than the length of your rental.
The city's own drop-off site is the Recovery Operations Center at 520 Atkinson Blvd., Newport News, VA 23608, about a mile north of Denbigh Boulevard. The center is open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., takes proof of city residency at the window, and caps household drop-offs at six cubic yards a week.
That cap is the reason most remodels end up in a container. The center takes no contractor trash at all, commercial properties cannot use it, and dump trucks and dump trailers are turned away for anything but yard waste. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and flag any item that needs a different route before delivery.
520 Atkinson Blvd., Newport News, VA 23608
City drop-off site for Newport News residents, open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; no contractor trash.
Most Newport News rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Give yourself longer if the container has to sit in the street, since the city permit involves insurance and a bond.
Five things make delivery day go smoothly:
Landfill hours shape the tail end of a job too. A container filled late on a Saturday is usually collected at the start of the next week rather than over the weekend.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves the whole city, from Denbigh and the streets around Atkinson Boulevard through Oyster Point and down to the older neighborhoods near Washington Avenue.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, work out whether your spot needs a city permit, and give you a firm price on the call.
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.
A 10-yard container in Newport News runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899 on a five-day rental. Weight moves the final number, since every load is weighed at the landfill. A street placement adds a city permit on top. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates when you book.
Renting is the practical option here. The city drop-off caps residents at six cubic yards a week, refuses contractor debris, and turns away dump trailers, so a remodel would take weeks of trips. One container holds the whole job and leaves in a single haul.
Yes, with room left. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser, and bagged items. Furniture uses up volume rather than weight, so you will run out of space first.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos stay out. Virginia also bans used lead acid batteries from household trash, so car batteries go back to a retailer or an authorized recycler. Tires, refrigerant appliances, and electronics are handled on their own.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. What you load still decides the total. Plaster, brick, and tile can use up the included tonnage in a container that is only half full, so keeping dense debris in its own load is usually cheaper overall.
Three days generally costs the same as five, because the price covers the job rather than the calendar. Weight is what moves your bill. Ask your account manager how much tonnage comes with your size and what each additional ton costs before delivery.
Most home and construction debris is fine in Newport News, including lumber, drywall, plaster, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, carpet, and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted as well and cost less in a load of their own. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
