At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Owatonna, Minnesota, and the rest of Steele County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. As the county seat at the crossroads of I-35 and Highways 14 and 218, Owatonna sees steady home remodeling, spring cleanouts, storm repairs, and new construction, so roll-off containers are a regular part of local projects.
Your price depends on the size of the container, the debris you load, the length of the rental, and the disposal fees at the county landfill. This guide covers our price ranges, the City's rule for containers in the street, and what Minnesota landfills can't accept.

Here's what drives the cost of a dumpster in Owatonna.
The size of the container is where the price starts. A container that's a bit roomier than you need is usually cheaper than a second haul.
Weight is the next piece. Every load that reaches the county landfill is weighed, so shingles, plaster, and wet lumber raise the cost much faster than furniture or cardboard.
The county's disposal fees round out the picture. Steele County's landfill rate sheet lists mixed solid waste and demolition debris at $80 per ton, with a lower $47 per ton rate for contracted accounts. Tires, appliances, TVs, and mattresses are charged by the piece on top of that.
Placement is the last thing to plan for. A container in a City street needs an Obstruction Permit, and the fee has to be paid before the container goes down.

Base your choice on how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is a match for a bathroom remodel, one room of clutter, or a small deck removal. It's also the right pick for concrete, brick, and other dense debris, which hit the weight limit before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a garage or basement cleanout, a flooring project, or a small reroof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is sized for a whole-house cleanout or a remodel that spans several rooms. It's also a common choice after storm damage.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles large renovations, additions, and new home construction.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the biggest size we offer. It suits commercial construction, farm building teardowns, and large property cleanouts.
Your account manager can talk through your project and recommend the right size.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or a job site, you typically won't need a City permit in Owatonna. Placing it in a street, alley, or other public right-of-way is different.
The City of Owatonna's street FAQ says you must apply for an Obstruction Permit to keep a dumpster in the street. The City also requires a certificate of insurance from the hauling company, and the fee must be paid before the container is placed. The City doesn't post the fee amount or a review time online.
Owatonna Public Works handles these permits at 540 West Hills Circle. Call 507-444-4350, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Your account manager can help you reach the right City contact and sort out the insurance paperwork.
Most household junk and building debris can go in your container. Minnesota's landfill rules and the county landfill's policies set the limits.
Minnesota landfills aren't allowed to bury liquids, hazardous waste, fluorescent bulbs, tires, major appliances, vehicle batteries, motor oil, or oil filters. Electronics with a screen, like TVs and computer monitors, are on the list as well. State rules ban tires from land disposal outright.
That doesn't mean you're stuck with those items. The Steele County Landfill takes appliances, tires, TVs, and monitors for recycling, each for its own fee, so they're handled separately instead of going in the pit. Mattresses are also charged by the piece.
Paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. Asbestos is handled at the landfill under its own rules and fees.
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.
Dumpster loads from Owatonna go to the Steele County Landfill at 9420 SE 64th Ave, Blooming Prairie, MN 55917. It's about 12 miles south of Owatonna on Highway 218, and the Steele County Public Works Department oversees it. The landfill is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. It's closed on Sundays and holidays. Call 507-583-7766 with questions.
The landfill takes mixed solid waste, demolition debris, and asbestos-containing material from Steele County only. It also takes clean concrete and asphalt for recycling at a lower rate when they're kept separate.
Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain the fees before delivery.
9420 SE 64th Ave, Blooming Prairie, MN 55917
Open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Steele County waste only.
Most Owatonna rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If you need a street permit, call a few days early so the paperwork and insurance are ready.
A few tips for a smooth delivery:
The landfill closes at 1 p.m. on Saturdays and stays closed on Sundays, so a container finished on Friday afternoon may sit through the weekend.

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.
Owatonna dumpster rentals range 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 the county's per-ton fees also affect the total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
A single pickup load can be cheaper to haul yourself, since the county charges a flat fee per car or pickup. Bigger jobs mean several round trips of about 24 miles to Blooming Prairie. For remodels and large cleanouts, one dumpster usually saves money and a lot of driving.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so you'll still have room for a mattress, a couple of chairs, and boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, which means space usually runs out before weight does.
Keep out liquids, hazardous waste, paint, solvents, fuel, tires, vehicle batteries, motor oil, fluorescent bulbs, and TVs or monitors. Minnesota landfills can't bury these. Appliances and tires can go to the county landfill separately for a fee. Ask your account manager about anything else.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. The county charges by the ton, though, so a small container full of shingles or concrete can still add overage fees. Loading heavy debris separately helps keep your bill down.
Three days typically costs the same as our five-day rental. We price by the job, not by the day, and the weight of your debris affects the total more than the rental length. Ask your account manager about the weight allowance before your delivery.
Furniture, carpet, drywall, lumber, cabinets, roofing, flooring, and general household junk can all go in. Clean concrete is accepted too, and it costs less to dispose of when it's kept in its own load. Your account manager can confirm anything you're unsure about.
