At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Tallahassee, Florida, and nearby Leon County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Student housing turnovers near the universities, older homes getting new roofs and kitchens, and steady construction on the west and south sides of the city keep containers busy for homeowners, landlords, and contractors.
Your price comes down to four things: the container size, what you put in it, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees charged where the load ends up. Below you'll find our price ranges, how the City handles roll-off service, the right-of-way rule, and what can't go in your dumpster.

Several local details push a Tallahassee quote up or down.
Size is the first one. A container that's too small means a second haul, and one that's too big means paying for air. Tell us the rooms or square footage involved and we'll size it with you.
Weight is the second. Roofing, tile, and brick fill the weight allowance long before the container looks full. Old furniture and cabinets take up space but weigh far less.
The type of debris matters here more than in many cities. The City of Tallahassee asks that construction debris stay apart from regular garbage, and mixed loads can cost more to dispose of. Leon County also charges by the ton for what it takes. For example, the county lists $71.25 per ton for commercial household-type waste and $50.18 per ton for yard debris. Keeping a load clean and sorted is one of the easiest ways to save.
Local rules come last. Inside city limits, the City runs its own commercial roll-off collection, and a container placed on a street needs City approval first. Both can shape your timing and your bill.

Pick a size based on how much debris you'll have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest size we offer. It suits a bathroom update, a dorm or rental cleanout, or a pile of broken concrete from a patio. Dense debris hits the weight limit fast, so this size keeps heavy jobs in check.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits mid-size work like a garage cleanout, new flooring in a few rooms, or a small roof. It gives you more space without the cost of a much bigger container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common pick for Tallahassee homes. It handles a full house cleanout before a sale or a remodel that covers several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for large renovations, additions, and new home builds. It holds a lot of mixed debris from framing, drywall, and trim.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size. It's meant for commercial builds, big demolition jobs, and large property cleanouts.
Still unsure? Tell your account manager about the project, and they'll match you with the right size.
A dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or a fenced job site, usually won't need a street permit in Tallahassee. The picture changes once any part of the container sits in a street, sidewalk, or other public right-of-way.
The City's Right-of-Way Management Manual says construction dumpsters can't be placed in the right-of-way unless the City's Traffic Engineering Section permits it. Right-of-way permit requests go through that same office, so plan for approval before your delivery date.
Placement inside city limits also involves City of Tallahassee Utilities. Its commercial services guide says Waste Management Services must approve every container type, size, and placement. For questions, call City of Tallahassee Utilities at 850-891-4968.
The City doesn't list a fee for a dumpster in the right-of-way. Your account manager can help you find the right City contact and confirm what your spot needs.
Most building and household debris is fine. The limits come from Florida's landfill laws and from how local facilities sort what they take.
Florida law keeps a few items out of landfills entirely. Lead-acid batteries, like car batteries, and used motor oil are two of them. Large appliances, which the state calls white goods, are on the list too. Yard trash also can't go into the lined landfills that take household garbage.
The usual exclusions apply as well. Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster.
Sorting matters in Tallahassee. The City treats bricks, concrete, lumber, drywall, plumbing fixtures, and shingles as construction debris that shouldn't be mixed with garbage. Tires are charged by the ton at the county, so keep them out or mention them when you book. Leon County takes household hazardous waste from residents at its Apalachee Parkway site.
If you're not sure about an item, ask your account manager 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.
Roll-off service works a little differently here. The City's construction debris page explains that roll-off containers of construction debris inside city limits are collected by the City as part of its commercial service. The City sends that debris to a private recycling facility on Woodville Highway.
Household-type waste from haulers goes to the Leon County Transfer Station, near Capital Circle SW and Gum Road. It serves commercial and government haulers only. It's open 3 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. From there, waste is trucked to a regional landfill about 85 miles away.
Yard debris and tires go to the Leon County Solid Waste Management Facility at 7550 Apalachee Parkway, Tallahassee, FL 32311. The county sets its own disposal fees there, charged by the ton.
Where your load goes depends on what's in it and where the job sits. Your account manager will confirm the destination and walk you through any fees before delivery.

In most cases, we can schedule your Tallahassee dumpster within one to two business days, and it shows up in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days early leaves time for City approval and a clean drop spot, and it can save you money too.
A few tips help delivery go smoothly:
Timing at the county matters too. The Leon County Transfer Station runs only a short morning shift on Saturday and is closed Sunday, so a container filled on a weekend may wait until Monday for pickup.

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 Tallahassee dumpster runs from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, for a five-day rental. The kind of debris you load and the county's per-ton disposal fees also affect the total. Your account manager confirms the included weight and overage rate when you book.
For most jobs, renting costs less. Each trip on your own means loading, driving, and paying disposal fees by weight, and the county transfer station doesn't take loads from the public. When a project needs more than a trip or two, one dumpster handles the whole job in a single haul.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a mattress, a dresser, and several bags or boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so space usually runs out well before weight does.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, car batteries, and asbestos. Florida also keeps large appliances out of landfills, and tires carry their own county fee. In Tallahassee, construction debris shouldn't be mixed with garbage, so tell us what you're loading when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest starting price, $399 to $499. The final bill still depends on weight. A small container full of brick or tile can go over its limit and add overage fees. Sorting heavy material into its own load keeps costs down.
Three days usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, since pricing is set by the job and not by the day. Weight changes your bill far more than the number of days. Ask your account manager how much weight is included and what extra tons cost.
Most home and building debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and cardboard. Brick and concrete are fine too, and they often cost less to handle as their own load. Yard waste should be kept separate from other trash. If you're unsure about something, check with your account manager first.
