At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Ruston, Louisiana, and the rest of Lincoln Parish in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Ruston is a college town with a busy downtown, so rental turnovers, home updates, and storm repairs keep dumpsters moving. New construction and commercial projects around the city add even more demand.
The price of your rental comes from the container size, the type of debris, how long you need it, and the disposal fees at the landfill that takes your load. Here's what to expect for pricing, when the City may need to hear from you, what the parish landfill accepts, and how to get your container fast.

A handful of things decide what a dumpster costs you in Ruston.
The container is the base. Bigger costs more, but squeezing a large job into a small dumpster usually ends with a second rental.
The debris is next. Brick, concrete, tile, and wet roofing are heavy, and weight is what uses up your included tonnage. Cabinets, furniture, and yard debris take up space without much weight.
What's in the load matters here more than in many places. The Lincoln Parish Landfill only takes construction and demolition debris, wood waste, and yard waste. Household trash, food waste, and other garbage have to go somewhere else. Keeping a load to clean building debris can make disposal simpler and cheaper.
Local rules round it out. The City won't pick up contractor debris, tires, brick, or concrete at the curb, so a roll-off is often the easiest way to handle a project.

Choose by volume and weight. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom redo, a small porch or shed teardown, or a pile of old brick. It's the right size for heavy material like concrete, which reaches the weight limit before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a garage cleanout, carpet removal, or a smaller roof. It's a step up in space without a big jump in cost.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a strong fit in Ruston for rental turnovers, kitchen remodels, and whole-house cleanouts. It handles furniture, flooring, and drywall from several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for large renovations, additions, and new homes. Builders use it when lumber, siding, and packaging stack up quickly.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's for commercial construction, demolition, and big cleanouts at stores or warehouses.
If you're not sure, your account manager can size the job with you over the phone.
A dumpster placed on private property, like your driveway or a construction lot, usually doesn't need a permit in Ruston. It's a different story if the container would block any part of a City street or sidewalk.
The City of Ruston doesn't post a separate dumpster permit. Its Permits and Inspections Office handles construction permits inside the city limits, and it can tell you whether street placement needs approval. Call Permits and Inspections at 318-251-8640 before you plan to put a container on the street.
For questions about City streets and trash service, the Public Works Complex is at 318-242-7703. Your account manager can help you work out which office to call and choose a drop spot that keeps you off the street.
Most remodeling and cleanout debris can go right in. The limits come from state rules and from what the parish landfill will take.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. The Lincoln Parish Landfill also refuses hazardous waste outright, and its staff inspect every load at the gate. If they find waste that isn't allowed, the driver has to pull it out, or the whole load can be turned away.
Tires, batteries, electronics, and appliances need their own plan too. The City of Ruston holds a household hazardous waste day on the second Saturday of each month at 2609 S. Farmerville St., from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. It takes computers, TVs, batteries, paint, chemicals, appliances, and up to five tires without rims.
Ask your account manager about any item you're unsure of before you load it.
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.
Construction and demolition loads from Ruston typically go to the Lincoln Parish Landfill at 463 Arkansas Plant Road, Dubach, LA 71235. It's run by the Lincoln Parish Police Jury's Public Works department. It accepts construction and demolition debris, wood waste, and yard waste generated in Lincoln Parish, and nothing else.
That rule shapes how you should load. Keep household garbage, food waste, and bagged trash out of a construction dumpster. A load of mixed trash has to go to a different landfill, which can change your cost and the timing of your pickup.
For a few recyclables or bulky boxes, the City's Public Works Complex drop-off at 2609 S. Farmerville St. is open Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Friday, 7 to 11 a.m.
Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain the disposal costs before delivery.
463 Arkansas Plant Road, Dubach, LA 71235
Parish-run landfill for construction and demolition debris, wood waste, and yard waste from Lincoln Parish only.
Most Ruston rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days ahead gives you time to plan the drop area and check on any street question. It can also help you save.
Tips for an easy drop-off:
Plan around move-out weeks and storm cleanups, when demand for containers in Ruston runs high.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll help you pick a size, confirm which landfill takes your load, and quote a clear price.
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 rental in Ruston costs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container, up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, for a five-day rental. The debris you load and the landfill's disposal fees also affect the price. Your account manager confirms the weight allowance and overage rate before you book.
Hauling one small load yourself can cost less. For anything bigger, a dumpster usually wins. You avoid repeated drives to the landfill near Dubach, the fuel, and the gate inspection each time. One container lets you load at your own pace and have it all hauled away together.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. There's still space for a mattress, a desk, and boxes, which makes it handy for a dorm or apartment move-out. Furniture is light for its size, so space runs out first.
Don't load hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, batteries, or asbestos. Tires, electronics, and appliances should also stay out. The parish landfill only takes construction debris, wood, and yard waste, so let your account manager know if your load includes household trash.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Your total still depends on weight. A small container filled with brick or concrete can go past its tonnage and add overage fees. Keeping heavy debris in its own load is an easy way to keep costs down.
A three-day rental typically costs the same as a five-day rental, since we price by the project instead of by the day. The weight you load matters more than the number of days. Call for an early pickup when you're done, and ask your account manager about the included weight.
You can load most building and cleanout debris, such as lumber, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, and furniture. Brick and concrete are fine but heavy. Yard waste like limbs and brush is accepted at the parish landfill too. Check with your account manager before loading anything you're unsure about.
