A handful of things decide what a dumpster costs in Zachary.
Container size is the first. Bigger costs more, but a container that holds the whole job saves you from a second haul.
Weight is the second, since the parish landfill bills by weight. Its rules and fee sheet set in-parish disposal at $44.00 per ton, with a $22.00 minimum for loads up to 1,000 pounds. Shingles, tile, and old subfloor push that number up fast.
The landfill's location helps. The East Baton Rouge Parish North Landfill sits on Samuels Road inside Zachary, so most local hauls are short and quick.
It's also worth knowing what hauling it yourself costs. The City of Zachary's trash and recycling page says residents who take demolition debris or building materials to the landfill pay $28 per ton, or $14 for up to 1,000 pounds, and the City's bulk pickup won't take construction debris at all. For a remodel, a dumpster usually saves you the trips.

Pick your size with weight in mind, because the landfill bills the scale ticket, not the container. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster handles one room gutted to the studs or a small bathroom remodel. It's the right size for mortar, brick, tile, and concrete, which reach the weight limit well before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, a flooring project, or a modest roof tear-off. Bulky, lighter loads like these put the extra space to good use.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the working size for most Zachary house cleanouts and remodels that span several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits gut renovations, additions, and new home builds with a lot of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container, made for commercial construction, demolition, and large property cleanouts.
Tell your account manager what you're tackling, and they'll help you land on the right size.
When your container sits on private property, like your driveway or a job site, you generally won't need a permit. A container in a public street or on a sidewalk is a different matter, and the City should hear about it first.
The City of Zachary doesn't publish a dumpster permit or a street use fee online. Its Inspections Division lists the home projects that need a residential permit, such as fences, accessory buildings, pools, generators, roofing, and outdoor kitchens, and containers aren't on that list. That isn't the same as a green light for street placement.
Public Works looks after the City's right-of-way areas, streets, and curbs, so start there. Call the Public Works Utilities Office at 225-654-1902, Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The office is at 4650 Main Street and is closed on Fridays. Ask what the City needs before a container can sit in the street at your address.
For building permit questions, the Inspections Division is at the same address and can be reached at 225-654-6873. Your account manager can help you figure out whether your spot is public property and find the right City contact.
Most household and construction debris is fine. The limits here come from the parish landfill that takes your load, and its rules are stricter than many.
Without written approval from the parish's Director of Environmental Services, the North Landfill won't accept batteries, unclean or uncrushed metal drums, crumbly asbestos, medical waste, industrial waste, paints, paint thinners, liquids, solid chemicals, or incinerator ash. It also turns away hazardous waste and materials contaminated with PCBs or asbestos.
That lines up with the usual rules for any dumpster: no hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, or asbestos.
A few items have their own conditions. The landfill doesn't take commercial or industrial tires, and residents can bring up to four passenger tires a year, off the rim. Refrigerators and freezers must be emptied, with the doors off and all refrigerant removed. Mention tires and appliances when you book so they're handled the right way.
Your account manager can confirm any item you aren't sure about before it goes in the container.
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.
Dumpster loads from Zachary go to the East Baton Rouge Parish North Landfill at 16001 Samuels Road, Zachary, LA 70791. The parish's Department of Environmental Services runs it, and the City of Zachary lists the landfill's line as 225-389-4813.
According to the parish's North Landfill page, it's open Monday through Friday, 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. It's closed on Sundays, New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. People without a landfill account can pay by card or check only between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays.
The landfill takes household and commercial waste plus bulky recyclables like tires and appliances, and it charges by weight. Your account manager will confirm where your container is headed and walk you through the disposal fees before delivery.
16001 Samuels Road, Zachary, LA 70791
Open Monday through Friday, 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.; closed Sundays.
Most rentals in Zachary can be scheduled within one to two business days, and the container arrives in a 24 to 48 hour window. A little lead time lets you check on street placement and get the drop spot ready.
A few tips for a smooth delivery:
The landfill's hours set the pace at the end of your rental. It stops taking loads at 5 p.m. on weekdays and 3 p.m. on Saturdays, and it's closed Sundays, so a container filled late in the day usually goes out the next morning.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves homes and job sites throughout Zachary and the East Baton Rouge Parish communities nearby, including Baker and Central, all within the in-parish service area of the North Landfill. We coordinate delivery, pickup, and disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, plan for the parish landfill, 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.
Rentals in Zachary run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. What you load and the parish landfill's per-ton fee also factor into the total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rate when you book.
For most projects, a dumpster wins. Parish residents can drop off household garbage at no charge, but demolition debris and building materials are billed by the ton. Add the loading, fuel, and several trips to Samuels Road, and one container hauled once usually comes out ahead.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's room left for a mattress, an armchair, and the boxes from the same room. Furniture is bulky but light, which means you'll fill the space well before you hit the weight limit.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, paint thinners, solvents, fuel, batteries, chemicals, medical waste, and asbestos. The local landfill won't take commercial tires, and passenger tires must come off the rim. Refrigerators need the refrigerant removed and the doors off, so flag appliances and tires when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced option, at $399 to $499. Keep in mind that the landfill bills by weight, so a small container full of mortar and tile can weigh more than a larger one full of furniture. Matching the size to your material is the best way to save.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, since we price by the job rather than by the day. The weight on the landfill scale moves the total far more than the calendar. Ask your account manager for the per-ton overage rate before delivery.
Most debris from a remodel or cleanout is allowed, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, carpet, and general household junk. Appliances and passenger tires can be accepted at the landfill under its own conditions. Check with your account manager about anything that seems borderline before you load it.
