At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Utica, New York, and the surrounding Mohawk Valley communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Century-old two-family houses in East Utica and Cornhill getting gutted and rebuilt, downtown buildings finding new tenants, and hospital and highway construction across the city keep roll-off containers moving for homeowners and contractors alike.
What you pay depends on the container size, the debris you load, how long you keep it, and the disposal charges at the site that receives it. Below you'll find our price ranges, how the City handles street placement, what has to stay out, and where a Utica load ends up.

Several local details feed into what a Utica rental costs.
Size leads. Picking the container that matches the job keeps you clear of overage charges and second trips.
Density follows close behind. Plaster, slate, and old chimney brick are common in Utica's housing stock, and they fill a weight allowance quickly even when the container looks far from full.
Disposal here runs through one public system. Every load from the city goes to a facility run by the Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority, which charges by weight and sets the same terms for everyone.
The streets themselves matter. Narrow city lots, shared driveways, and winter snow banks all affect where a container can safely sit. Your account manager works the placement out with you ahead of delivery.

Look at how much the job will produce and how dense it is. Lath and plaster from an old house weighs far more than the same volume of furniture.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest size we bring to Utica. It covers a bathroom gut, a single room emptied, or a porch tear-off, and it's the right call for brick, block, and concrete.
The 15-Yard Dumpster steps up for a kitchen, a stuffed attic and cellar, or carpet and flooring from a small house.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the everyday choice for a full house cleanout or a remodel that runs across several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for two-family rehabs, roof tear-offs on a bigger scale, and demolition that produces mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container, for commercial construction, downtown fit-outs, and industrial cleanouts that generate real volume.
Not sure which fits? Talk it through with your account manager and they'll size it for you.
On private property, such as your own driveway or a fenced work area, a container is your business and needs no City sign-off. The moment part of it sits in a street, an alley, or a sidewalk, it's standing on City property.
That makes the Utica Department of Public Works the office to ask. The Commissioner of Public Works works out of City Hall at 1 Kennedy Plaza, Utica, NY 13502, and the office answers at 315-792-0100. Call before you lock in a delivery date so the placement is settled first.
Winter adds a wrinkle. Snow operations and on-street parking rules can change what's workable between November and April, so a driveway or yard placement is usually the simpler route in Utica.
If you aren't certain where the right-of-way begins at your address, your account manager can help you reach the right City contact and plan around it.
Most renovation and cleanout debris loads without trouble. The limits come from New York State law and from what the Authority's facilities will take.
New York bans covered electronics from the trash. Since 2015, consumers have not been allowed to put televisions larger than four inches, computers, tablets, printers, monitors, game consoles, DVD players, or cable receivers in a landfill, a waste-to-energy plant, or at the curb.
Hazardous material is out as well. Paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, pesticides, and pool chemicals belong at the Authority's household hazardous waste facility, which runs from April through September. Fluorescent tubes and compact fluorescent bulbs contain mercury and go to an Authority drop-off site instead.
Asbestos gets special treatment. The Authority draws a line between friable material, which crumbles under hand pressure, and non-friable material like intact floor tile, roof felt, and asphalt shingles. Damaged non-friable asbestos has to be handled like the friable kind, so anything suspect in an older Utica house needs a professional look before demolition starts.
Got something you're unsure about? Check with your account manager before it goes in the container.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Loads from Utica travel a short distance to the Eastern Transfer Station at 824 Sewage Plant Road, Utica, NY 13502. The Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority owns and operates it, and it takes household trash, industrial and commercial waste, and construction and demolition debris from both counties. It's open Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Every load is inspected on arrival. Staff check first that nothing dangerous or hazardous has come in, and they also check that recycling requirements have been met, so a container with recyclables mixed through it can hold up the whole delivery.
From the transfer station, waste is hauled north to the Authority's Regional Landfill at 7044 State Route 294, Boonville, NY 13309, open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. That site accepts waste only from Oneida and Herkimer Counties, and it runs on a modern liner and leachate collection system. Your account manager will confirm the destination for your debris and go over the charges before delivery.

Most Utica rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking ahead gives you time to settle the drop spot and sort out any street question first.
A few habits make delivery day go smoothly:
The Authority's schedule is worth noting too. The Regional Landfill is closed on weekends and the transfer station shuts early on Saturday, so a container filled on a Saturday afternoon generally moves on Monday.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, sort out where it can sit at your address, and give you a clear price on the call.
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 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 in Utica, and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a standard five-day rental. The debris you load and the Authority's disposal charges also shape the total. Your account manager will confirm the tonnage included and the rate for extra weight when you book.
Renting almost always comes out ahead once a project fills more than a pickup bed. Self-hauling means repeat trips to the transfer station, fuel, and a charge each time you cross the scale. A container sitting at the house lets you work steadily and pay for one haul.
Yes, comfortably. A three-seat couch fills roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves space for a mattress, a dresser, and plenty of loose items. Bulky household goods run out of room long before they get close to a weight limit.
Leave out hazardous waste, paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, and pesticides. New York also bans televisions, computers, monitors, printers, and other covered electronics from disposal, and fluorescent bulbs go to an Authority drop-off. Ask your account manager about asbestos, tires, or appliances before loading.
Our 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. The contents still drive the final number. Plaster, brick, and slate are heavy enough to push a small container past its weight allowance, so a separate load for dense material can work out cheaper.
Three days normally costs what five days costs, because the price follows the job and not the calendar. Weight is what changes the bill. Ask your account manager how much tonnage comes with your container and what an extra ton runs before the truck is scheduled.
Everyday building and household debris is welcome, from lumber, plaster, and plasterboard to roofing, flooring, bathroom and floor tile, insulation, cabinets, and furniture. Clean concrete and brick are fine as well, though they're heavy. Anything you're unsure about is worth a quick question to your account manager.
