Three things move a Prince Georges County quote inside those bands: container size, debris type and rental length. The standard rental is 10 days and extensions are charged per day. The tonnage above is included rather than added afterwards, and overage is billed per ton only if you pass it. Concrete, brick, soil and roofing shingles weigh far more per cubic yard than household junk, which is why a 15-yard of plaster can outweigh a 30-yard of furniture.

Matching a Container to the Job
What the job produces decides the size, not the size of the property. Typical Prince Georges County jobs and what they cost:
- Garage, attic or basement clearout: 10 or 12 yard at $510 to $560, one ton covers most household loads
- Kitchen or bathroom remodel: 15 yard at $510 to $610, cabinets, tile and subfloor fill it quickly
- Roof tear-off: 20 yard at $615 to $665. One square of asphalt shingles weighs roughly 250 lbs, so a 20-square roof runs about 2.5 tons
- Whole-house renovation: 30 yard at $615 to $715, plaster and lath push the weight up faster than volume suggests
- New construction or demolition: 40 yard on scheduled swap-outs so framing offcuts never stop the crew
- Concrete, brick or soil: a dedicated 10 yard heavy-debris container, because 10 cubic yards of concrete weighs around 20 tons
Delivery and Placement in Prince Georges County
A roll-off truck needs a clear approach to set a container down. Before delivery, check the spot has:
- 10ft of width for the container and the truck body
- 23ft of straight-line length so the box can roll off the bed
- 14ft of overhead clearance, which rules out low branches, carport roofs and some utility lines
Fill to the top rail and no higher. A container loaded above the rim cannot legally be tarped or hauled, so an overfilled box means a return trip. On block paving or fresh asphalt we lay boards under the rails at no charge.
What You Can Put In
Accepted in Prince Georges County: household junk, construction and demolition debris, timber, drywall, metal, furniture, non-refrigerant appliances, roofing shingles and yard waste. Not accepted: hazardous liquids, tyres, asbestos, and appliances containing refrigerant. Concrete, brick, block and soil are accepted but must go in a dedicated heavy-debris container rather than a mixed load. The full list is in our accepted materials guide.
Permits in Prince Georges County
No permit is needed for a container on private property anywhere in Prince Georges County, driveways included. Street placement is set by the individual municipality rather than the county, so the rule depends on where you are: Accokeek, Beltsville, Bladensburg, Bowie and Brandywine each set their own right-of-way rules and processing times. Confirm with the local office before your delivery date and we will position the container to whatever they specify.
