At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and nearby Forsyth County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Renovations in older neighborhoods like Buena Vista and Reynolda, new construction on the edges of the city, and steady cleanout work keep containers moving for homeowners and contractors.
Your total depends on the size you pick, the type of debris, how long you keep the dumpster, and the disposal fees at the City's landfills. Below, we cover price ranges, the City's street closure permit, and what North Carolina keeps out of landfills.

These are the main things that set your dumpster price in Winston-Salem.
The container size comes first. One right-sized dumpster almost always costs less than a small one plus a second haul.
The weight of your debris matters just as much. Brick, plaster, and shingles are heavy. North Carolina also bans some common items from landfills, so a load with the wrong things in it can cause trouble.
The disposal fee is built in, too. Loads from the city go to landfills run by Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Utilities, which charge $37 per ton plus a $2 per ton state tax. A heavy load costs more to dispose of, which is why weight counts.
Street placement can add a step. If the container closes a lane or a sidewalk, the City requires a closure permit, and you're responsible for traffic control. Keeping it in the driveway avoids that.

Choose based on how much debris you'll have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest. It's a good match for a bathroom remodel, a small deck, or a load of old brick and concrete. Dense material maxes out the weight limit before it fills the container.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works well for a garage or attic cleanout, flooring removal, or a small roof tear-off.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a popular choice for whole-house cleanouts and remodels across several rooms. It has room for drywall, cabinets, and furniture.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits large renovations, additions, and new home construction. It's useful when several trades are working over a few weeks.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It's best for commercial projects, demolition, and large cleanouts with bulky, lighter debris.
If you're not sure, walk your account manager through the project, and they'll recommend a size.
A dumpster in your driveway or on another part of your property usually won't need a permit in Winston-Salem. A permit comes into play when the container blocks a street lane or sidewalk.
The City's Department of Transportation issues a Temporary Right-of-Way Closure Permit for closing a roadway, a lane, or a sidewalk. The City's permit page says there's no fee, but you're responsible for all traffic control, including detours if they're needed.
Apply well before the work begins. You can submit the application at the City's Permit Office or by email to the DOT permits team.
For questions, call the Department of Transportation permit contact at 336-747-6831. Your account manager can help you decide whether your spot needs a permit and point you to the right person.
Most construction and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from North Carolina's landfill bans and the rules at the City's landfills.
North Carolina bans a long list of items from landfills. That list includes used oil, yard trash, appliances like refrigerators and washers, antifreeze, whole tires, lead-acid batteries, computers, and televisions. Aluminum cans and wooden pallets are also on it, though pallets can go to a construction and demolition landfill.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either.
Yard waste has its own home. The City runs yard waste sites, so brush and leaves should stay out of your container. If you're unsure about an item, 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.
Winston-Salem has two public landfills, both run by the Solid Waste Division of Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Utilities.
The Hanes Mill Road Solid Waste Facility, at 325 W Hanes Mill Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27105, takes household and commercial trash as well as construction debris. It's open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon.
The Old Salisbury Road Landfill, at 3336 Old Salisbury Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27127, takes construction and demolition waste only. It's open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The City's landfill page lists holiday closures. For you, it means a clean load of building debris has a dedicated place to go, while a mixed cleanout goes to Hanes Mill Road. Your account manager will confirm which landfill takes your load and explain any fees before delivery.
325 W Hanes Mill Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27105
Open Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon.
3336 Old Salisbury Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27127
Construction and demolition waste only; open Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Most Winston-Salem rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If you need a closure permit, apply early so it's ready before delivery. Booking ahead can also save you money.
Tips for a smooth delivery:
The landfill hours matter, too. Old Salisbury Road is closed on weekends, and Hanes Mill Road is open only Saturday morning, so a container filled over the weekend may wait until Monday.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves all of Winston-Salem, including Reynolda, Buena Vista, Sherwood Forest, the West End, Old Town, and Bethabara, plus Lewisville and other Forsyth County communities, and we coordinate delivery, pickup, and disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll pick the right size, tell you which landfill your load is headed to, 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.
Winston-Salem dumpster rentals start at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and go up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. Debris type and the City's landfill fees also affect your total. Your account manager will confirm included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For a single pickup load, hauling it yourself can be cheaper, since the City's landfills charge a flat rate for small vehicles. For a remodel or full cleanout, a dumpster usually wins once you count the trips, fuel, and time.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch uses about one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture takes up room fast but doesn't weigh much, so space runs out before weight does.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. North Carolina also bans whole tires, lead-acid batteries, used oil, appliances, TVs, computers, and yard trash from landfills. Tell us about any of these before you load.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. Your final bill depends on what you load. Brick, concrete, and plaster can push a small container past its limit, so keeping heavy debris separate helps you avoid overage fees.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as a five-day one, because we price by the job and not by the day. The weight of your debris matters more than the number of days. Ask your account manager about included tonnage before delivery.
Most household and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and cleanout junk. Brick and concrete are fine too, though they're heavy. If you're not sure about an item, check with your account manager before you load it.
