At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Union City, New Jersey, and the rest of Hudson County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Union City is one of the most densely built cities in the country, full of older row houses and walk-up apartments. Gut renovations, roof and facade work, and steady construction along the Palisades all create debris that has to leave the block quickly.
Your price depends on the container size, the type of debris, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the transfer station that takes your load. Below, we cover our price ranges, the City's dumpster permit, the county rule about where waste can go, and what to keep out of the container.

A few local details drive the cost of a dumpster in Union City.
Space comes first here. Lots are narrow and street parking is tight, so a 10 or 15 yard container often fits where a larger one can't. We'll help you match the size to the spot as well as the job.
Weight is the next factor. Old plaster, brick, and roofing from a century-old building are heavy, and they use up your included tonnage faster than furniture or drywall.
Disposal fees are the third. Debris from Union City goes to a transfer station in the area, and disposal there is priced by the weight of the load.
Permits are the fourth. Union City charges $75 for a dumpster permit under its construction fee schedule, so plan on that step before delivery.
Perfect For:
Weight Limit: Up to 2 tons (4,000 lbs)
Bags of Trash: Approximately 50-70 large trash bags.
Truck Loads: Roughly 3 pickup truck loads.

Pick a size that fits both your debris and the space you have. We offer containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is often the best fit in Union City. It works for a bathroom or kitchen gut, a small cleanout, and heavy debris like plaster, brick, and concrete, which hit the weight limit early.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a larger apartment renovation or a full floor of flooring and cabinets. It's still short enough for many curbside spots.
The 20-Yard Dumpster handles a whole-home cleanout or a multi-room renovation. Check the space you have in mind before you book this size.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for larger projects, including building renovations and new construction. It needs a job site or lot with real room.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's built for commercial construction, demolition work, and large building cleanouts.
Not sure what fits your block? Describe the spot to your account manager, and they'll help you choose.
Even when the container sits on private property, like a driveway or a job site lot, plan on a City permit in Union City. The City's fee schedule sets a dumpster permit at $75 under its construction code fees, and City offices at 3715 Palisade Avenue handle it. Your account manager can confirm what your address needs.
Street placement is a bigger question here, since most of Union City is built to the sidewalk. If your container has to sit at the curb, ask about the permit and any parking restrictions before delivery day.
There's a second rule for bigger jobs. Under the City's construction and demolition debris rules, any project that needs a building or demolition permit must file a debris recovery plan with the Construction Office before work starts. The plan has to show that at least half of the material will be separated and recycled, and you'll submit receipts from the facilities used when the job is done.
For questions about the street, call the Department of Public Works at 201-348-5840. Your account manager can help you line up the permit and the paperwork before your container arrives.
Most renovation debris and household junk can go in a roll-off. Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't. Those need a licensed handler, not a container at the curb.
New Jersey also treats construction and demolition debris as its own waste type, and the transfer stations that take it are permitted for that material. Loads mixed with regular garbage or recyclables can cost more to process.
On big jobs, remember the City's recycling requirement. Because at least half the material has to be separated and recycled, it helps to keep clean wood, metal, and cardboard out of the mixed load.
Union City residents also separate recyclables at the curb, with cardboard flattened and tied and containers in clear bags or orange bins. Those items don't belong in a construction container either. If you're unsure about something, ask your account manager before it goes in.
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.
Hudson County controls where waste goes. The Hudson County Improvement Authority says all solid waste generated in the county must be delivered to the facilities named in the county's solid waste plan, and it enforces that rule. New Jersey's environmental agency also issues the decals a truck needs to carry and dispose of solid waste.
For construction and demolition debris, the state's list of operating transfer stations shows several sites within a few miles of Union City. They include stations at 2400 Tonnelle Avenue, 3700 Westside Avenue, and 4711 Dell Avenue in North Bergen, one at 278 Secaucus Road in Secaucus, and another at 375 Routes 1 and 9 South in Jersey City.
What you pay for disposal follows the weight of the load, which is why debris weight matters so much here. Your account manager can confirm which station your load is going to, and what fees apply, before delivery.
Most Union City rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery in a 24 to 48 hour window. Given the permit and the tight streets, booking a few days early is smart.
Here's how to make delivery day go well:
Transfer stations in the area keep weekday hours, so a container filled late on a Friday is often hauled the next 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 Union City dumpster rental costs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on five days. The weight of your debris and the transfer station's fees affect the total, and the City's permit is a separate cost. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage.
In Hudson County, hauling debris yourself is rarely practical. Waste has to go to a county-designated facility, and trucks need state decals to deliver it. A roll-off handles the permit-to-disposal chain for you and clears the whole job in one pickup.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, chairs, and boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so an apartment cleanout usually runs out of space long before it reaches the weight limit.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos all stay out. Household recyclables and regular garbage shouldn't be mixed into a construction load either. If your project needs a building permit, some material has to be separated for recycling. Your account manager can walk you through it.
The 10-yard container has the lowest price, at $399 to $499, and it's also the easiest to place on a narrow street. Weight still drives the final cost. Keeping plaster, brick, and concrete in their own load can help you avoid overage charges.
Three days costs the same as our standard five-day rental, since we price by the job instead of the day. What moves your bill is the weight of the load. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs.
Most renovation and cleanout debris is fine, including lumber, plaster, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, and furniture. Brick and concrete are accepted as well. Keep hazardous material out, and separate recyclables on permitted projects. Your account manager can check any item before you load it.
