At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Van Buren, Arkansas, and the rest of Crawford County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Historic homes near Main Street that need new roofs and kitchens, growing neighborhoods north of I-40, and a steady pace of commercial and residential construction keep dumpsters busy on both sides of the Arkansas River.
The price you pay depends on the size you choose, the type of debris, how long you need the container, and the disposal fees at the regional landfill. The sections below cover our price ranges, the City's street permit, what the landfill turns away, and how fast we can deliver.

A handful of things decide what a dumpster costs in Van Buren.
The size you book is the starting point. It's usually cheaper to rent one container that fits the whole job than to pay for a second haul.
Weight comes next. Shingles, brick, concrete, and wet yard debris are heavy, and heavier loads cost more to dispose of. Light, bulky items like furniture and boxes fill a container without adding much to the bill.
The landfill sets the disposal side of the price. Most loads from Van Buren cross the river to the City of Fort Smith's regional landfill, which takes debris from Crawford County and sets its own disposal rates each year.
A street spot can add a fee. If the container has to sit in a City street or right-of-way, Van Buren's ordinance calls for a written permit with a $50.00 fee, an amount the City Council can change. A driveway placement avoids it.

Start with how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for a bathroom remodel, a small cleanout, or broken concrete from a driveway or walk. Dense debris fills its weight limit before it fills the space, so this size is the safe pick for it.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage or shed cleanout, new flooring in a few rooms, or a roof on a smaller house.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a good match for a full kitchen remodel, a move-out, or clearing a house after an estate sale.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, big remodels, and new home construction with lots of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size. Builders and businesses use it for commercial projects, tear-downs, and big property cleanups.
If you're stuck between two sizes, your account manager can walk through the job with you and point you to the right one.
A dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or a job site, generally doesn't need a City permit. Once it blocks any part of a street, alley, or right-of-way, you need one.
The City of Van Buren's street obstruction ordinance makes it unlawful to block a street, alley, right-of-way, or easement without a written permit from the Mayor's authorized representative. The fee is paid when you apply.
Van Buren's Street Department sets the City's traffic control and construction standards, and it can point you to the right office for the permit. Call the Street Department at 479-474-3641. The office at 1003 Broadway Street is open Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a lunch break from noon to 1, and closes at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
If you're not sure where your yard ends and the right-of-way starts, your account manager can help you find the right contact before delivery.
Most household junk and building debris is fine to load. The limits come from Arkansas rules and from the landfill that takes your load.
The Fort Smith landfill publishes a list of items it won't take. It turns away whole tires unless they've been cut into quarters, car batteries, used motor oil and filters that haven't been drained, gas cans with fuel in them, and compressed gas cylinders. Freon appliances like fridges and window units, liquids, and paint that hasn't dried solid are refused too.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. Some special wastes can be taken only with advance approval from the landfill manager and the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality.
If you have an item you're unsure about, 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.
Most dumpster loads from Van Buren go to the City of Fort Smith Sanitary Landfill, run by Fort Smith's Department of Solid Waste Services at 5900 Commerce Rd, Fort Smith, AR 72916. It's a regional landfill that takes debris from Crawford County, Sebastian County, and several other counties in Arkansas and Oklahoma.
The landfill is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. It's closed on Sunday. Every load has to be tarped or enclosed so nothing blows or falls off on the way in. Customer service can be reached at 479-784-2262.
For brush and limbs, Van Buren also runs a Yard Waste Facility at 2844 South Highway 59, open Wednesday and Saturday mornings.
Your account manager can confirm where your load is headed and explain the disposal fees before we deliver.
5900 Commerce Rd, Fort Smith, AR 72916
Regional landfill open weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday mornings.
Most Van Buren rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, and the container arrives in a 24 to 48 hour window. Give yourself a bit more time if the container needs a street permit.
Keep these tips in mind:
The landfill closes at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday and stays closed Sunday, so a dumpster filled over the weekend is usually hauled on Monday.

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.
In Van Buren, a dumpster costs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. Heavy debris costs more to dispose of, so the weight of your load affects the total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates.
For one small pickup load, driving it to the landfill can be cheaper. Bigger projects add up fast, though, with a fee on every trip plus gas and a drive across the river each time. A single dumpster usually costs less once a job needs several loads.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have space for a recliner, a mattress, and a stack of boxes. Furniture is bulky but not heavy, so you'll run out of room before you hit the weight limit.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. The Fort Smith landfill also refuses whole tires, car batteries, undrained motor oil, gas cans with fuel, and appliances that hold Freon. Mention any tires or appliances when you book so we can plan for them.
Our 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. The final cost still depends on the weight of your load. A small container packed with shingles or concrete can go over its limit, so ask your account manager how much weight is included.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price the job, not the day, and the weight of your debris affects the bill far more than the rental length. Your account manager can explain the included weight and any extra-day charge.
Furniture, carpet, drywall, lumber, cabinets, shingles, and general household junk are all fine in a dumpster. Concrete and brick are allowed too, but keep them in a smaller container because of their weight. Your account manager can confirm any item you have questions about.
