At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Pensacola, Florida, and the rest of Escambia County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Storm repairs, roof replacements, older homes getting updated, and new construction across the Gulf Coast keep roll-off containers busy here nearly every month of the year.
Your price depends on the container size, what you're throwing out, how long you need it, and the county disposal fee at the site that takes your load. Below, we cover local price factors, permits inside and outside city limits, the items Florida keeps out of landfills, and where Pensacola debris ends up.

In Pensacola, a few details decide whether your bill lands at the low or high end of the range.
The size you choose sets the starting point. Go too small and you may pay for overage or a second trip. Go too big and you're paying for air.
The weight of your debris matters even more. Escambia County charges by the ton, so wet drywall, shingles, tile, and plaster raise the cost faster than furniture or cardboard.
The disposal site also changes the math. Escambia County's fee schedule lists solid waste at $45.06 per ton at the Perdido Landfill and $57.90 per ton at the Palafox Transfer Station. Those are county disposal fees, not rental prices, and the county can change them.
Some material costs less to get rid of. The county takes clean fill, dirt, and clean concrete at the landfill at no charge, as long as the concrete has no rebar or wire mesh. If your job has a lot of broken concrete, ask your account manager about a separate load.

Think about the amount of debris first, then its weight. Prime Dumpster offers five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is right for one gutted bathroom, a spare room cleanout, or a pile of storm branches. It's also the smart pick for concrete, block, or brick, because heavy debris hits the weight limit well before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a garage or shed cleanout, new flooring throughout a small home, or a modest roof tear-off.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one many Pensacola homeowners choose when they empty out an entire house or remodel several rooms at once.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is sized for big renovations, additions, new home builds, and storm cleanup with mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It's built for commercial construction, large demolition, and cleanouts of big commercial buildings.
Tell your account manager what the job involves, and they'll help you land on the right size.
If the dumpster sits on private property, such as your driveway, yard, or a fenced job site, you usually won't need a permit. Things change when any part of the container sits in a public right-of-way. The office you deal with depends on whether your address is inside Pensacola city limits or in unincorporated Escambia County.
Inside the city, the City's Engineering division issues right-of-way permits. It says a dumpster placed in the right-of-way needs a maintenance of traffic plan, and applications go through the MyGovernment Online portal. Every inspection needs 24 hours' notice. For questions, call Pensacola Public Works and Engineering at 850-435-1755.
Outside city limits, Escambia County handles work in county right-of-way through a permit from its Development Services Department. The county's permit form asks you to notify the Traffic Division at 850-595-3422 a day before work starts. For general permit questions, Escambia County Building Services answers at 850-595-3550.
One more city rule matters here. Pensacola requires anyone who collects waste inside city limits to hold a City franchise, and construction sites that use a hauler without one can face a stop work order. Your account manager will confirm how the rule applies to your address before booking and help you find the right contact.
Most debris from a remodel, a roof job, or a cleanout can go in your container. Florida law and the county's disposal sites set the limits.
Florida keeps several items out of landfills. That list covers lead-acid batteries like car batteries, used motor oil, and white goods such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators. Yard trash also can't go into lined landfills unless the site collects landfill gas, so ask before you pile in branches.
The standard exclusions apply too. Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, pool chemicals, gas cylinders, and asbestos out of your dumpster. Escambia County takes asbestos only by appointment, after its staff review the load.
Residents can drop off household hazardous waste at the Perdido Landfill for free. The county takes up to 10 gallons of paint, 10 gallons of gasoline, 5 gallons of used motor oil, and 10 fluorescent bulbs, along with electronics and batteries. The county also limits tires in mixed loads, so keep them separate and mention them when you book.
Your account manager can confirm anything on your list 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.
Escambia County's Waste Services Department owns and runs the Perdido Landfill, where much of Pensacola's construction and cleanout debris ends up. It's at 13009 Beulah Road, Cantonment, FL 32533. The landfill is open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. It's closed on Sundays. Waste Services answers questions at 850-937-2160.
Closer to downtown, the county's Palafox Transfer Station sits at 2906 N. Palafox Street in Pensacola. It's open Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. It charges more per ton than the landfill, and it can't take asbestos or special waste, which must go to Perdido.
Which site your load goes to depends on what's in it and where your project is. Your account manager will confirm the destination and explain any fees before delivery.
13009 Beulah Road, Cantonment, FL 32533
Open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; closed Sundays.
Most Pensacola rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, and the container arrives in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days ahead leaves time for a right-of-way plan if you need one.
Here's how to keep delivery on track:
Also keep the landfill's hours in mind. Perdido closes at 3:30 p.m. on Saturdays and stays closed Sundays, so a container you fill over the weekend usually won't be hauled 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.
A dumpster in Pensacola runs 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 disposal fee also affect the total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
For a single trailer load, hauling it yourself may cost less. Past that, a dumpster usually comes out ahead. Each trip to the landfill carries its own disposal charge, plus gas, time, and a fee if the load isn't covered. A container lets you finish the job with one pickup.
Yes. A typical three-seat couch uses about 20 percent of a 10-yard dumpster. That leaves plenty of room for a mattress, chairs, and a few bags of clutter. Furniture is big but fairly light, so space usually runs out before weight becomes an issue.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, pool chemicals, gas cylinders, and asbestos. Florida also bans car batteries, used oil, and appliances like washers and refrigerators from landfills. Tires are limited in mixed loads, so mention them when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster starts lowest, at $399 to $499. Still, Escambia County charges by weight, so a small container full of shingles or tile can go over its allowance fast. Clean concrete goes to the landfill at no charge, so keeping it in its own load can save money.
Most three-day rentals cost the same as our five-day rental. We price by the job instead of by the day, and your debris weight moves the price more than the number of days. Ask your account manager how much weight is included and what extra tons cost.
You can load most construction and household debris, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, carpet, and general clutter. Storm debris from a repair job is usually fine too. If you're not sure about an item, check with your account manager before it goes in.
