At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Perth Amboy, New Jersey, and the nearby Middlesex County towns in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Perth Amboy is an older, densely built city with tightly packed homes, so plaster walls, tile floors, and porch concrete show up in a lot of jobs. Home remodels, estate cleanouts, and steady construction and repair work keep our containers busy here.
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 county landfill. Below, you'll find our price ranges, the City's rules for street placement, what New Jersey keeps out of the trash, and where your load ends up.

A handful of things decide what a dumpster costs in Perth Amboy.
Size is the first one. A larger container costs more, but guessing too small can mean overage charges or a second trip, which cost more in the end.
Weight is the second. The county landfill weighs every truck, so dense debris like plaster, tile, and concrete drives the bill. A container of old furniture weighs far less than one of broken walls.
Here's a local twist. The Middlesex County Utilities Authority's 2026 rate schedule lists $80.57 per ton for regular household and business waste and $88.07 per ton for bulky waste and construction debris. In many places, demolition debris costs less to dump than household trash. Here it costs more, so a remodel load can cost more per ton than a cleanout load.
Those are the landfill's own fees, and the county can change them. They aren't our rental price. Your account manager will explain how they apply to your load when you call.

Think about weight as much as volume. Many homes in Perth Amboy are older, and their walls and floors are heavy once they come apart. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom gut, a single room taken down to the studs, or a small basement cleanout. It's also the size to pick for concrete steps, brick, or tile, since heavy material reaches the weight limit before it reaches the top.
The 15-Yard Dumpster gives you more room for a garage cleanout, a kitchen remodel, or a roof with one layer of shingles. It's a sensible step up when a 10-yard feels tight.
The 20-Yard Dumpster works well when you're emptying a whole house or updating several rooms at once. For plaster and other demolition debris, it's usually the largest size that makes sense.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, full renovations, and new home construction, where the debris is bulky and mixed.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container. It's meant for commercial projects, warehouse cleanouts, and large demolition sites.
Still unsure? Tell your account manager what you're tearing out, and they'll suggest a size.
If the container stays on private property, like your driveway or a fenced job site, you generally won't need a permit in Perth Amboy. You do need one if it will sit on a sidewalk, a street, or a highway in the City.
The permit comes from the City of Perth Amboy's Department of Code Enforcement, on forms that the department provides. There's no fee for a dumpster used only for garbage. A construction dumpster carries a weekly fee, and you pay it before the permit is issued.
A permit lasts up to 30 days. If you have a good reason, Code Enforcement can renew it once for another 30 days. That's worth knowing on a long renovation.
The City also sets rules for how a container on the street must look. It needs yellow reflective diamond panels at least 18 inches square on both ends that face oncoming traffic, mounted at least three feet above the road. It has to be covered, and it can't block cars or people walking by.
Plan to have your permit in hand before the delivery date. Your account manager can help you reach the right person at Code Enforcement and confirm what your address needs.
Most debris from a remodel or cleanout is fine to load. The limits come from New Jersey law and from the county landfill that takes your container.
New Jersey bans throwing away TVs and computers. The state Department of Environmental Protection's e-waste guidance says used televisions, desktop and laptop computers, and computer monitors can't be disposed of as trash. They go to an electronics recycling drop-off instead. Whole tires can't be landfilled in New Jersey either, and the state expects recyclables to be kept separate.
The Middlesex County Landfill doesn't accept asbestos or hazardous waste, and inspectors there check loads for banned items. If they find something that isn't allowed, the Middlesex County Utilities Authority's service charge schedule adds $250.00 per ton or part of a ton on top of the normal fee.
Keep paint, solvents, fuel, liquids, and propane tanks out of your container as well.
If you have an item you're not sure about, 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.
Most dumpster loads from Perth Amboy go to the Middlesex County Landfill at 53 Edgeboro Road, East Brunswick, NJ 08816. The Middlesex County Utilities Authority runs it. Its scales are open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to noon. Trucks that arrive after closing are turned away.
According to the authority's disposal fee page, the landfill only takes waste produced inside Middlesex County. That keeps the site open longer and keeps extra trucks off county roads. Every truck is weighed on the way in, and the fee depends on the type of waste.
You may have seen the City's transfer station at the Public Works complex on Fayette Street. It exists to handle trash that City crews collect, so a rented dumpster doesn't go there.
For you, this means two things. Your debris is weighed, so heavy loads cost more. And timing matters, since the scales close early on Saturday. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and walk you through any fees before delivery.
53 Edgeboro Road, East Brunswick, NJ 08816
Scales open Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to noon.
Most dumpster rentals in Perth Amboy can be set up within one to two business days, and the container shows up during a 24 to 48 hour delivery window. Calling a few days early gives you time to get a street permit and clear the spot.
A few tips for an easy drop-off:
Keep the landfill's hours in mind as well. The scales close at noon on Saturday and don't open on Sunday, so a container you fill on a Friday afternoon may wait 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.
Our dumpster rentals in Perth Amboy run 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 type of debris and the county landfill's per-ton fees also shape the final price. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates.
A dumpster is usually cheaper and much easier. The county landfill is set up for licensed haulers, and every truck must be enrolled before it can use the scales. For a remodel or a full cleanout, one dumpster lets you load at your own pace, and we haul it away in one trip.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's still space for a mattress, a couple of chairs, and boxes from a spare room. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll fill the space long before you hit the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, asbestos, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and propane tanks out of your dumpster. New Jersey also bans throwing away TVs, computers, and monitors, and whole tires can't be landfilled. The county landfill charges a steep extra fee when it finds banned items in a load.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. What you load still matters. The county charges more per ton for construction debris than for household trash, so a small container full of plaster can end up costing more than you expect. Your account manager can help you plan.
Three days usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, because we price dumpsters by the job, not by the day. The weight of your debris affects the bill more than the number of days. Ask your account manager what weight is included before delivery.
Most household and building debris is allowed. That covers lumber, drywall, plaster, flooring, cabinets, shingles, furniture, and general clutter. Concrete and brick are fine too, though they're heavy, so a smaller container works best for them. If you're unsure about something, check with your account manager first.
