At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Paducah, Kentucky, and the rest of McCracken County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Paducah's older homes in Lower Town and the Fountain Avenue area often need new roofs, floors, and kitchens, while newer neighborhoods and businesses keep spreading west along the I-24 and US-60 corridors. That mix of repair work and construction keeps homeowners and contractors in need of roll-off containers.
Your price depends on the container size, the type of debris, how long you keep the dumpster, and the disposal fees at the receiving transfer station. Below, you'll find price ranges, the City's closure permit, Paducah's hauler permit rule, and where local loads go.

Here's what shapes the cost of a dumpster in Paducah.
The size of the container is the first piece. Getting one big enough for the whole project saves you from paying for a second haul.
Weight is the second. Brick, block, and plaster from older Paducah homes are heavy, and disposal is charged by weight. Mention heavy material when you call so the quote fits.
The third piece is where the load goes. Paducah loads usually go through a privately run transfer station before heading on to a landfill. Those disposal fees are built into your quote.
The last piece is local rules. Paducah requires a City permit for anyone who hauls roll-off containers, and a container in the street needs a closure permit. Your account manager will explain both before you book.

Think about how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is good for a bathroom remodel, a porch or shed tear-down, or a small attic cleanout. It's the right call for brick, block, or concrete, since heavy loads hit the weight limit before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a kitchen remodel, flooring from several rooms, or a garage full of clutter. It gives you extra room for a small bump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster works for most Paducah home projects. It handles a whole-house cleanout, a multi-room remodel, or a shingle roof on an average house.
The 30-Yard Dumpster covers big renovations, additions, and new construction. It's a good match for jobs with lots of bulky debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It's sized for commercial projects, large demolition, and big cleanouts.
Not sure which to pick? Walk your account manager through the job, and they'll recommend a size.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or yard, you generally won't need a closure permit in Paducah. You will need one if the container sits on a sidewalk or in the road.
The City of Paducah Engineering Department handles those requests through a Temporary Street and/or Sidewalk Closure. You apply by contacting Engineering with the address where the closure is needed. You also have to call Central Dispatch at 270-444-8550 right before and right after the closure, and the permit must stay posted where the public can see it.
For questions, call the Engineering Department at 270-444-8511, option 2. Your account manager can help you reach the right person before delivery.
Most remodeling and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from Kentucky's disposal rules and from what the receiving transfer station will take.
Kentucky landfills and transfer stations don't accept hazardous waste. That means paint, gasoline, solvents, motor oil, pesticides, and car batteries need to stay out of your container. Electronics, tires, and appliances like refrigerators and freezers also need special handling, so mention them before delivery.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either.
Yard waste is another item to plan around. The City runs a compost facility on North 8th Street for brush and yard debris from Paducah homes.
If you're not sure about an item, 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.
Paducah's trash doesn't go to a City-run landfill. The City's own pages point to two privately run transfer stations in town, one at 400 State Street and one at 829 Burnett Street. From there, waste is trucked on to a landfill outside the city.
That means your load will usually pass through one of those transfer stations, and the disposal fees are set by the company that runs it. Loads are weighed at the scale, so heavier debris costs more to dump.
Paducah also requires every roll-off hauler to hold a City permit. Your account manager will confirm the permit, where your load is going, and the fees before delivery.
We can often schedule a Paducah rental within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If you need a sidewalk or street closure, contact the City early so the permit is ready.
Tips for a smooth delivery:
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves all of Paducah, from Lower Town and downtown along the riverfront to Fountain Avenue, Noble Park, and the growing west end near Kentucky Oaks Mall. We also help customers across McCracken County, and your account manager will confirm service for your address.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll confirm the City's hauler permit, help you choose a size, and give you a clear 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 dumpster in Paducah costs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard costs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. The debris you load and the transfer station's disposal fees also affect your price. Your account manager will confirm included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For a big project, renting is usually cheaper. Self-hauling in Paducah means paying a privately run transfer station for each load. Add the trailer, fuel, and time, and one roll-off often costs less.
Yes. A typical three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. That leaves room for a bed frame, a dresser, and boxes of clutter. Furniture fills up space long before it reaches the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, car batteries, and asbestos. Tires, electronics, and appliances like refrigerators need special handling. Tell your account manager about any of these before your delivery date.
Our 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. Weight still drives the final bill. Brick, block, and concrete can push a small container past its limit. Loading heavy debris separately often saves you money.
A three-day rental is usually priced the same as five days, because we price each rental by the job. Disposal is charged by weight, so the load matters more than the time. Ask your account manager about included weight and overage rates.
Most household and construction debris is allowed in Paducah. That includes lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general junk. Brick and concrete are accepted too. If you're unsure about something, ask your account manager before loading it.
