At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Owensboro, Kentucky, and the rest of Daviess County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. The older streets between downtown and Frederica keep turning over with remodels, the neighborhoods out toward Thruston are being updated a house at a time, and commercial construction along the Wendell H. Ford Expressway runs steadily.
Your total depends on which size you take, the material going into it, the days you hold it, and the per-ton charge at the county facility that receives the load. Below you'll find our ranges, the rules that apply in Owensboro, the materials that have to stay out, and how soon we can deliver.

The prices below reflect average ranges for a standard five-day rental period. Your account manager will confirm tonnage, overage rates, and other project specifics during your free, custom quote.
| Size | Average Price Range | Approximate Dimensions | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Yard Dumpster | $399–$499 | 12' L × 8' W × 3.5' H | Concrete, brick, and heavy debris; small cleanouts; single-room remodels |
| 15-Yard Dumpster | $449–$569 | 16' L × 7.5' W × 4–5' H | Garage cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, small roof tear-offs |
| 20-Yard Dumpster | $499–$649 | 22' L × 7.5' W × 4.5' H | Whole-home cleanouts, multi-room renovations, flooring removal, roofing |
| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |
| 40-Yard Dumpster | $699–$899 | 22–24' L × 8' W × 8' H | Commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts, large-scale construction |
Size is where every quote starts. Ordering one step up is nearly always cheaper than filling a container early and paying for a second round trip.
Material type is the next lever. Daviess County prices construction and demolition debris on a different scale from ordinary household trash, so a clean load of lumber and drywall is handled differently than a mixed cleanout.
Weight still rules the invoice. Brick, mortar, roof tear-off, and soaked carpet stack up fast, and tonnage past what your rental includes is charged separately.
A few local details round it out. The county charges a minimum amount every time a truck crosses its scale, Kentucky adds a state environmental fee on top of the facility rate, and an untarped load picks up a penalty. Your account manager builds all of that into the number you're quoted.

Start with how much you expect to throw away, then check the weight of it. Five sizes cover almost every Owensboro job.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is compact and sits low, which makes loading by wheelbarrow easy. Use it for brick, mortar, broken concrete, or a small bathroom tear-out where weight arrives before volume does.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the step up for a garage cleared to the walls, a kitchen stripped back, or one section of roof replaced.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one we drop most often in Owensboro. It covers a full-house cleanout, a couple of remodeled rooms, or flooring pulled throughout the main level.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits a gut renovation, a new build, or a commercial refresh where debris comes out in volume over several days.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and goes mainly to contractors on demolition and industrial cleanouts, where a crew fills space faster than weight.
Describe the job to your account manager if you're unsure, and they'll pick the size that fits.
A container that stays on private property, your driveway or a fenced site, doesn't normally trigger a city permit in Owensboro. Once any part of it reaches into the street, sidewalk, or public right-of-way, the rules change.
Owensboro draws that line clearly. The city explains that the public right-of-way generally starts at your property line next to the street, running about 6 inches behind a sidewalk or roughly 9 feet back from the curb where there is no sidewalk. Plenty of driveways that look private end partly inside it.
Downtown, there's a named permit. A business tenant or property owner in the Downtown Overlay District who wants to use the city right-of-way needs a business encroachment permit from Engineering. Elsewhere, Engineering reviews right-of-way work case by case.
The Engineering Department sits at 1410 W. 5th Street and takes calls at 270-687-8641 from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Not sure which side of the line your spot falls on? Your account manager will help you get it confirmed before we schedule a truck.
Worth knowing too: the city code requires solid waste collection inside Owensboro to run through the city's own sanitation service, and a temporary construction container is handled differently from ongoing trash pickup. Your account manager will confirm how the rule applies at your address before anything is booked.
Everyday construction and cleanout debris is welcome. The limits come from what the county's facilities will take and how each material is classified when it hits the scale.
Some items are handled as separate categories rather than trash. Lead-acid batteries and used motor oil come out of the load and go in free at any county facility when they're kept apart. Waste tires, oil filters, fluorescent tubes, light ballasts, and liquid paint are each charged and handled on their own.
Appliances need their refrigerant taken out before disposal, so a fridge, freezer, or window unit has to be declared rather than quietly buried under drywall.
Contaminated soil, asbestos, and industrial waste can only go to the county landfill and are refused at the transfer station on Grimes Avenue. Hazardous waste, liquids, solvents, and fuel are out of every container no matter where it goes.
One more thing worth taking seriously: the county charges a penalty when a load turns out to be a different type of waste than it was declared as. Run any questionable item past your account manager first.
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.
Nearly everything we haul out of Owensboro lands with Daviess County. The West Daviess County Landfill at 7772 KY Hwy 815 is permitted to and run by the Daviess County Fiscal Court. Its scale is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday morning until noon, and it's the only local site that can accept contaminated soil, asbestos, or industrial waste.
Lighter and mixed loads often stop first at the Grimes Avenue Transfer Station and Convenience Center at 2129 Grimes Avenue, open weekdays from 6 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturday until noon. Whatever isn't reused or recycled there is trucked out to the landfill for final disposal, and the station also takes electronic waste through a partnership with the Opportunity Center.
Both sites weigh what comes in and price by the ton, with a minimum charge each visit and a separate rate for construction debris. Your account manager will tell you which gate your container is going to and what that means for your quote before delivery day.
7772 KY Hwy 815, Owensboro, KY 42301
Run by the Daviess County Fiscal Court. Open Monday-Friday 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Saturday 7:00 AM to noon.
2129 Grimes Avenue, Owensboro, KY 42303
County transfer station and electronics drop-off. Open Monday-Friday 6:00 AM to 3:30 PM and Saturday 7:00 AM to noon.
Most Owensboro orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking earlier still helps, since it leaves time to sort placement and confirm the local rules, and advance orders often come in lower.
Five things to line up before you call:
Weekend timing is worth a thought. County scales close at noon on Saturday and stay shut Sunday, so a container filled late in the week may not move until 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.
In Owensboro, a 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both based on a five-day rental. Your material and the per-ton charge at the county facility decide the rest. Your account manager confirms the tonnage included and the overage rate when you book.
For a small load, hauling it yourself can work. Past that, the math turns. Every trip to a county facility carries a minimum charge, plus the state fee and your own fuel and time. One container on site usually costs less than four or five truck runs out KY 815.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, so there's still space for a mattress, a dresser, and several boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, which means you'll run out of room before you get close to the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Lead-acid batteries, used motor oil, tires, oil filters, fluorescent tubes, and liquid paint are handled as separate categories by Daviess County. Appliances need their refrigerant removed first, so declare them when you book.
The 10-yard container starts at $399 to $499, the lowest price we quote. Whether it's truly cheapest depends on the load, though. Dense material like brick or tile can clear the weight allowance in a small container and add overage charges, so heavy debris is often better kept separate.
Three days usually costs the same as five, since containers are priced by the job rather than by the day. Weight is what actually changes your bill. Ask your account manager how much tonnage comes with your size and what each extra ton runs before delivery.
Most of what an Owensboro project produces is fine: lumber, drywall, shingles, siding, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, furniture, carpet, and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt work too, and a separate clean load usually costs less at the scale. Ask your account manager about anything unusual first.
