At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Port Arthur, Texas, and the nearby Jefferson County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Storm repairs, older homes getting new roofs and floors, and steady construction tied to the refineries and the port keep containers busy here. Homeowners and contractors use them for everything from a garage cleanout to a full rebuild.
Your price comes down to four things: the container size, the kind of debris, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the landfill that takes the load. Below you'll find our price ranges, how the City treats containers near the street, what Texas keeps out of landfills, and where Port Arthur loads end up.

A handful of local details move the price of a Port Arthur rental up or down.
Size is the first one. Picking a container that fits the whole job costs less than paying for a second haul when the first one fills up early.
Weight is the second. Wet drywall, shingles, and storm-soaked flooring get heavy fast in this climate. Concrete and brick are heavier still, so they belong in a smaller container.
The landfill is the third. The City of Port Arthur runs its own Municipal Landfill on Highway 73, and the City sets the fees there. Its current rate is $6.50 per cubic yard for regular waste, and whole tires run $6.00 each. Because the landfill charges by volume, a full container of light debris can cost more to dump than you'd expect.
Placement is the last. A container that blocks a street, alley, or sidewalk can draw a notice from the City, so most jobs keep it on the driveway or the lot.

Think about how much debris you'll have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster has five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster handles a bathroom gut, a small shed teardown, or a weekend of yard work. It's also the one to pick for broken concrete, brick, or old pavers, because heavy loads reach the weight cap long before they reach the top.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a garage or attic cleanout, a room of old carpet, or a small roof. It gives you breathing room without the price of a big container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Port Arthur for flood and storm cleanup, when drywall, flooring, and furniture all have to go at once. It also fits most multi-room remodels.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is sized for major renovations, new home builds, and interior demolition. Pick it when the job throws off a big mix of materials.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the biggest we offer. Contractors use it for commercial builds, plant and warehouse cleanouts, and large tear-downs.
Still unsure? Tell your account manager what you're tearing out, and they'll match the size to the job.
If the container sits on private property, like your driveway, yard, or a fenced job site, you usually won't need a permit in Port Arthur. The picture changes once any part of it lands on a street, alley, or sidewalk.
The City doesn't list a dumpster permit for public streets. Instead, its code says streets and sidewalks must stay clear for people and cars. It also bans any object that blocks an alley, a right-of-way, or a utility easement. A code enforcement officer can post a notice with ten days to move it. After that, the City can haul the object away and bill the property owner, and each extra day counts as a new violation. You can read the full obstruction rule in the City's code.
So the safest plan is to keep the dumpster on your own property. If street placement is the only option, call the City of Port Arthur Public Works Department at 409-983-8511 first. Your account manager can help you reach the right City office before delivery.
Most remodeling, roofing, and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from Texas landfill rules and from what the City's landfill will take.
Texas keeps several items out of city landfills. That list includes car batteries, used motor oil and oil filters, liquids, regulated hazardous waste, and PCB waste. Whole tires can only be buried after they're split, quartered, or shredded, so keep them out of the load. Fridges, freezers, and window units need their refrigerant removed before disposal.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either.
Tires and appliances also carry their own fees at the City landfill, so mention them when you book. Your account manager can tell you how to handle anything you're not sure 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.
Most dumpster loads from Port Arthur go to the City of Port Arthur Municipal Landfill at 4732 Highway 73 West, Port Arthur, TX 77640. The Public Works Department runs it. The phone number is 409-736-1383.
Per the City's solid waste rules, the landfill is open Monday through Saturday and closed at night. Every load has to arrive covered with a tarp or net. People who don't live in the city can't dump there on their own. Commercial haulers need an arrangement with the landfill superintendent first.
That's one more reason a roll-off makes sense for bigger jobs. We handle the covered haul and the landfill details for you. Your account manager can confirm where your load is headed and walk you through any fees before delivery.
4732 Highway 73 West, Port Arthur, TX 77640
City-run landfill open Monday through Saturday; loads must be covered.
In most cases, we can have a container in Port Arthur within one to two business days, with drop-off in a 24 to 48 hour window. After a storm, demand jumps, so booking early helps. A little lead time also lets you plan the drop spot.
A few tips for an easy delivery:
Remember that the City landfill doesn't open on Sundays. A container you fill on Saturday may wait until the new week to be hauled.

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 Port Arthur, a 10-yard dumpster runs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. The type of debris and the fees at the City landfill also affect the total. Your account manager will confirm the weight included and any overage rate before you book.
A dumpster usually wins once your job needs more than a load or two. The City landfill charges by the cubic yard, and every pickup trip costs you fuel and time. Out-of-town residents also can't dump there on their own. One roll-off can take the whole project in a single haul.
Yes, easily. A standard three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a mattress, a table, chairs, and several bags of household junk. Furniture takes up space more than weight, so you'll run out of room before you hit the weight cap.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, asbestos, car batteries, and used motor oil or filters. Texas doesn't allow those in city landfills. Whole tires and appliances with refrigerant need special handling, so list them when you book. Your account manager can explain the options for each one.
Our 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. What you load still decides the final bill. Wet drywall, tile, and concrete can go over the weight cap in a small container. Putting the heavy material in its own load is often the cheapest way to go.
Three days usually costs the same as five, since we price by the job and not by the day. The weight of the load matters far more than the time it sits in your driveway. Ask your account manager what weight is included and what extra tons cost.
You can load most household and building debris in Port Arthur. That means lumber, drywall, shingles, carpet, cabinets, furniture, and general junk from a cleanout. Brush and tree limbs are fine too. If you're not sure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in.
