At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Stamford, Connecticut, and the rest of lower Fairfield County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Downtown construction, office fit-outs along Washington Boulevard, and steady renovation work in Springdale, Glenbrook, and Shippan all move a lot of debris. Older homes here often need a full gut before anything new goes in.
What you pay depends on the container size, the debris you load, how long you keep it, and the City's per-ton disposal charge. Below we cover our price ranges, the permit for a container in a City street, the items Connecticut bans from the trash, and where your load ends up.

A few Stamford details decide what your container costs.
Size is the first one. Picking a container that holds the entire job saves you the cost of a second trip.
Weight is where the money moves. The City charges $135 per ton for general disposal at its scale, so plaster, tile, and old roofing run up a bill faster than cabinets and carpet do.
Certain items are priced on their own. Tires and appliances holding refrigerant carry set charges at the City scale, so mention them when you book instead of hiding them in the load.
Placement matters here too. Lots are tight in many Stamford neighborhoods, and a container that has to sit in the street needs a City permit first. Your account manager can walk through all of this while quoting the job.

Think about how much debris the job creates and how dense it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom gut, a small basement cleanout, or one room of flooring. It's also the size for concrete, brick, and stone, which hit the weight limit while the container still has room.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a kitchen remodel, a packed garage, or a small roof tear-off. You get more space without stepping up to a large container that may not fit the driveway.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common pick for Stamford homes. It takes a whole-house cleanout or a remodel that runs through several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for additions, full gut jobs, and new construction. It's a good match when the debris is bulky rather than dense.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. Commercial crews use it for office fit-outs, demolition, and big cleanouts.
Not sure which fits your driveway? Your account manager will help you choose a size and a spot.
A container on private property, like a driveway or a job site, generally doesn't need a City permit in Stamford. Once any part of it sits in a City street or the right-of-way, the rules change.
For that, the City's Engineering Department issues a Street Use, or obstruction, permit. Its permits page covers both that permit and the separate street opening permit for digging. Applications go through the City's online permit portal, and the City publishes a fee structure for obstructions rather than a single flat price.
If you aren't sure which permit fits your placement, call the Citizen's Service Bureau at 203-977-4140, weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at 888 Washington Boulevard. Your account manager can also help you find the right contact before delivery.
Most renovation and cleanout debris loads without any issue. The limits come from Connecticut's recycling law and from what the City's transfer station turns away.
Connecticut bans several things from the trash outright. Televisions, monitors, printers, and computers have to go to an electronics program, and so do car and lead acid batteries. Grass clippings are banned as well, and leaves have to be composted. Paint, mattresses, tires, and gas cylinders are handled through their own statewide take-back programs.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. Stamford's transfer station specifically refuses chemicals, hazardous waste, liquids, and oil-based paints and thinners.
Tires and appliances with refrigerant are accepted at the City scale but billed per item. Ask your account manager about anything you're unsure of before it goes in the container.
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 debris from Stamford jobs is weighed and dropped at the Stamford Transfer Station, the City site at 101 Harborview Avenue, Stamford, CT 06902. Commercial trucks, pickups, and rental trucks all use the scale here rather than the neighborhood center. It's open Monday through Saturday, 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the phone is 203-977-4620.
The City's refuse centers page also lists the Katrina Mygatt Recycling Center at 130 Magee Avenue for residents with passenger plates, open Tuesday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. That one is handy for a carload, though not for a remodel.
Because everything crosses a scale, the weight of your debris drives the disposal cost, not the size of the container. Your account manager will confirm the destination and explain the charges before your delivery.

City of Stamford scale and transfer station; open Monday through Saturday, 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.

City drop-off for residents with passenger plates; open Tuesday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Most Stamford rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Give yourself extra time if the container has to sit in the street, since the City permit comes first.
These steps help your delivery go smoothly:
Keep the City's hours in mind too. The transfer station closes at 2 p.m. and is shut on Sundays, so a container filled late in the day usually goes out the next morning.

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 Stamford rental runs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. What you load and the City's per-ton disposal charge also affect the total. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage and overage rate when you book.
Self-hauling means loading twice, paying by weight each time you cross the scale, and working around a 2 p.m. closing. For a remodel or a cleanout, one container costs less once you count the trips, the fuel, and your own hours.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container. That leaves space for a mattress, a chair, and boxes. Furniture fills the room in a small container long before the weight becomes a problem.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Connecticut also bans televisions, computers, monitors, printers, and car batteries from the trash, and mattresses and tires go through their own programs. Ask your account manager where to send them.
Our 10-yard container has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Weight decides the rest of the bill. Concrete, tile, or wet plaster can pass the limit in a small container quickly. Keeping dense debris in its own load usually costs less in the end.
Three days normally costs the same as our five-day rental, because we price by the job and not by the day. The weight you load matters more than the number of days. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what extra tons cost.
Most home and construction debris is fine in a Stamford dumpster, including lumber, drywall, plaster, flooring, roofing, siding, cabinets, carpet, and furniture. Clean concrete and brick are accepted too. When an item seems borderline, check with your account manager before it goes in.
