At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Passaic, New Jersey, and the nearby Passaic and Bergen County towns in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older multi-family homes, apartment turnovers, storefront remodels, and steady construction work across the city keep roll-off containers busy for homeowners, landlords, and contractors.
The price you pay comes down to the container size, the type of debris, how many days you keep it, and the disposal fees at the facility that takes your load. Below, you'll find price ranges, the City's street permit rules, what New Jersey keeps out of the trash, and where Passaic debris ends up.

Four things decide what a dumpster costs you in Passaic.
The first is size. A larger container costs more, but guessing too small can mean a second haul or overage charges, which cost more in the end.
The second is weight. Plaster walls, tile, brick, and roofing shingles are dense, so they eat through your weight allowance quickly. Mattresses, tires, and appliances may carry their own charges, so list them when you call.
The third is sorting. New Jersey requires recyclables to be separated at the source, before they leave your property. A load of clean, sorted debris is simpler to process than a mixed one, and that can show up in your quote.
The fourth is the street. If the container can't fit on your driveway, the City charges a $50.00 dumpster permit fee to place it in the right-of-way. The City's own trash service also won't pick up construction debris, so a dumpster is the usual answer for a remodel.

The right size depends on how much you're throwing away and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits a single room, a bathroom gut, or an apartment cleanout between tenants. Choose it for concrete, brick, or plaster, since heavy debris reaches the weight limit long before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a garage or basement cleanout, new flooring, or a small roof. It gives you more room without a big jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common pick in Passaic for emptying a whole house or remodeling several rooms of a two-family home.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles large renovations, new construction, and demolition that mixes several kinds of material.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest size. It's meant for commercial builds, large demolition, and cleanouts of warehouses or big properties. Keep in mind that many Passaic lots are narrow, so check that the spot can hold it.
Share the details of your job with your account manager, and they'll point you to the right size.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or a job site, you generally don't need a City permit. Things change once the container takes up any part of the public right-of-way.
The City defines that space as the area between your front property line and the property line across the street, so it covers the sidewalk as well as the road. Dumpster placement there needs a Construction/Encroachment Permit from the Division of Engineering, as listed on the City's permits page.
The application form lists a $50.00 fee for a dumpster. It also asks for a certificate of insurance that names the City of Passaic as an additional insured and shows the work site address. The City needs at least two business days to process an application. If the container affects traffic or a sidewalk, the Traffic Division of the Passaic Police Department must approve it at least 48 hours before work starts.
The Division of Engineering is at 870 Main Avenue, 1st Floor, and is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can call the office at 973-365-5624. If you're not sure where your property line falls, your account manager can help you reach the right contact.
Most debris from a remodel or cleanout can go in the container. The limits come from New Jersey's recycling laws and from the facility that accepts your load.
New Jersey's source separation rules keep two groups of items out of the trash. Whole tires can't be thrown away. They have to be recycled or burned for energy instead. Electronics are also banned from disposal across the state. That covers TVs, computers, laptops, and monitors, plus desktop printers and fax machines.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos aren't allowed in a standard dumpster either. The City also asks residents to keep rechargeable batteries, charcoal, and pool chemicals out of the regular trash because of the fire risk.
For small amounts, Passaic Public Works collects some of these items itself. TVs and small electronics go out on your street cleaning day. Tires are picked up by appointment, with four per household each year at no charge and a $3 fee for each tire after that.
Ask your account manager before loading anything you're unsure about.
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.
The City's Public Works page is clear that curbside crews won't take construction debris. Bricks, cement blocks, tile, plaster, drywall, studs, windows, pallets, and wood flooring all stay with the homeowner. Bulk pickup is limited to two items per collection day, and cloth furniture must be wrapped in plastic.
That's where a roll-off dumpster helps. Unlike many states, New Jersey doesn't send a county's construction debris to one designated landfill. The courts ended that system, so haulers choose among privately run facilities that hold state permits. The state's list of operating transfer stations shows several in Passaic County, mostly in nearby Paterson, with none inside the City of Passaic.
For you, that means the destination depends on what's in the container and which permitted facility has room that day. A load of clean concrete or brick may go to a recycling site, while a mixed cleanout goes to a transfer station. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and explain the fees before delivery.
Most dumpster rentals in Passaic can be booked within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If it has to go in the street, call earlier so the City has time to approve the permit.
A few tips help your delivery go smoothly:
Remember that City offices keep weekday hours. The Division of Engineering is closed on weekends, so a permit you start on a Friday afternoon won't be processed until the next week.

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.
Dumpster rentals in Passaic 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. Your debris type, the facility fees, and any street permit also affect the total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates.
For most jobs, renting wins. The state's list shows no transfer station inside Passaic, so hauling it yourself means driving to another town, paying a fee each trip, and losing hours. The City won't collect construction debris at the curb, either. One dumpster handles the whole job in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's still space for chairs, a dresser, and bags of clutter. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll fill the space before you come close to the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your Passaic dumpster. New Jersey also bans whole tires and electronics like TVs, computers, monitors, and printers from the trash. Mention appliances and mattresses when you book, since they may be handled separately.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Your final bill depends on weight, though. A small container packed with plaster or tile can go over its limit and add overage fees. Keeping heavy debris in its own load and placing the container on your driveway both help you save.
Three days usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, because dumpsters are priced by the job. The weight of your debris affects the bill far more than the number of days. Ask your account manager what weight is included and whether extra days cost more.
Most household and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, plaster, flooring, cabinets, roofing, furniture, and general junk. Clean concrete and brick are fine too, and they often cost less to dispose of in a separate load. If you're unsure about an item, your account manager can confirm it before you load.
