At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Raleigh, North Carolina, and the rest of Wake County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Renovations in older neighborhoods like Oakwood and Five Points, new homes and commercial construction on the growing edges of the city, and plenty of move-out cleanouts keep containers in demand all year.
Your price comes down to the container size, the kind of debris, how many days you keep it, and the disposal fees at the site that takes the load. Below, we cover our price ranges, Wake County's disposal fees, parking space permits, and North Carolina's landfill bans.

A few factors decide what you'll pay for a dumpster in Raleigh.
First is the size. A container that fits the job keeps you from paying for extra room or ordering a second haul.
Second is weight. Wake County's disposal sites charge by the ton, so plaster, tile, brick, and roofing cost more to dump than the same space filled with furniture.
Third is where the load goes. The county's East Wake Transfer Station charges $49 per ton for household and business trash, while the South Wake Landfill charges $37 per ton. Both figures include a $2 per ton state excise tax. The transfer station costs more because the waste is loaded again and trucked to the landfill.
Last, some items carry their own fee. Mattresses and box springs are $15 each at the South Wake Landfill, and the transfer station won't take them at all. Mention them when you book so they can go to the right place.

Think about both the amount of debris and its weight, since every disposal site here charges by the ton. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is right for a bathroom remodel, a single room cleanout, or a small load of brick or tile. Dense debris reaches the weight limit before it reaches the top.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, a deck removal, or a small roof tear-off.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the go-to size for many Raleigh homeowners emptying a house or remodeling several rooms at once.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for large renovations, additions, and new home construction with mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's meant for commercial construction, demolition, and big cleanouts on sites with plenty of room.
On narrow streets in older neighborhoods, the drop spot can limit your choice. Your account manager can help you match the size to both the job and the space.
On private property, such as your own driveway or a construction lot, you generally don't need a City permit for a dumpster. If the container will take up a public parking space, street, or sidewalk, you'll need one.
Raleigh handles this as right-of-way occupancy. The City's Right-of-Way Services page says its staff work with Raleigh Parking to issue permits for legal parking spaces used for dumpsters and portable storage. You start the application in the City's Permit and Development Portal, then submit a site plan and a parking application.
Once the permit is approved, you pick it up at the Raleigh Parking office, 310 W. Martin Street, Suite 109. The fee isn't a flat amount. It's based on the number of days you request and the daily rate of each space.
The City doesn't publish a review time. Call Raleigh Parking at 919-996-3996 before you pick a delivery date, or call the Permit Helpline at 919-996-2500 if you need help with the portal. Your account manager can also help you find the right contact.
Most remodeling and cleanout debris can go in your container. North Carolina's landfill bans and the rules at Wake County's sites set the limits.
The state's landfill disposal bans keep these items out: antifreeze, aluminum cans, computers and TVs, lead-acid batteries, oil filters, plastic bottles, scrap tires, used oil, white goods like refrigerators and washers, wooden pallets, and yard trash. Lithium-ion batteries join the list on December 1, 2026.
Construction and demolition landfills also can't take fluorescent lights or mercury thermostats. Solar panels are added to that list in December 2026.
Hazardous waste, paint, solvents, fuel, asbestos, and other liquids aren't allowed in a standard dumpster either. Wake County also requires that all waste at the South Wake Landfill come from inside the county.
Before loading anything you're unsure about, check with your account manager.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Household and business trash from Raleigh dumpsters usually goes to the East Wake Transfer Station at 820 Corporation Parkway, Raleigh, NC 27610. It's open Monday through Saturday, 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., for licensed haulers only. Trash trucks use it before 10 a.m., and other vehicles come after.
The station doesn't bury anything. Waste is reloaded there and trucked on for disposal. The county's own landfill, the South Wake Landfill where Holly Springs meets Apex, takes in the garbage from Wake County's businesses and its 1.1 million residents.
Construction debris follows a different path. The City's construction and demolition page explains that it needs a special C&D landfill, and it lists several privately run sites around Raleigh for contractors. A remodeling load may go to one of those instead of the transfer station.
Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and how that affects your price before delivery.
820 Corporation Parkway, Raleigh, NC 27610
Licensed haulers only, Monday through Saturday, 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Most Raleigh dumpster rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour delivery window. A container in a parking space takes more lead time, since the permit comes first.
Tips for a smooth drop-off:
The transfer station closes at 3 p.m. and stays shut on Sundays and major holidays. A container filled late on a Saturday will likely be hauled the following 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.
A Raleigh dumpster rental ranges from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. Weight matters because Wake County charges disposal by the ton. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
Once a project needs more than two or three truckloads, a dumpster usually wins. Hauling it yourself means fuel, time, and a disposal fee at every stop, and many Wake County sites are set up mainly for licensed haulers. A single container lets you fill it at your own pace.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up only about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. There's room left over for a bed frame, a mattress, and a stack of boxes. Just flag any mattress when you book, since Wake County charges for each one and only its landfill accepts them.
North Carolina bans scrap tires, white goods, used oil, oil filters, antifreeze, lead-acid batteries, computers, TVs, pallets, and yard trash from landfills. Paint, solvents, fuel, asbestos, and other hazardous waste stay out too. Your account manager can help you find the right place for those items.
The 10-yard dumpster is the least expensive, at $399 to $499. The weight of the load still sets your final cost, since disposal is billed per ton. A small container of tile or brick can end up costing more than a larger one filled with light furniture.
Three days usually costs the same as the five-day rental shown in our table. Pricing is per job, not per day, and weight has a bigger effect on the bill than time. Ask your account manager how much weight is included and what extra days cost.
Household clutter, furniture, lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, and carpet are all fine. Brick and concrete can go too, as long as you stay within the weight limit. Leave out anything on the state's ban list. Your account manager can confirm any item before it goes in.
