Dumpster Champs publishes flat 7-day prices with tonnage included; Prime Dumpster quotes a 5-day basis; local hauler Dumpster Daddy lists a 30-yard at $600 for up to 14 days including 3 tons (overage $85/ton) — its 14-day term lines up with the city's 14-day permit window. Ultimate logs a real 15-yard delivery at $485 (ZIP 45238). Your exact quote depends on debris type, how long you keep the bin, and how far the truck drives.
Weight overages. Go over the included tonnage and most haulers charge roughly $50–$100 per extra ton. Heavy debris (concrete, dirt, shingles) hits the limit fast — that's what the smaller 10-yard "heavy debris" bins exist for.
Extra days. The standard rental is 7 days. Extra days typically run $10–$25 per day, or a flat fee per week. Ask before you book, not after.
Debris type. Clean construction debris is cheapest. Mixed household junk is mid-range. Tires, mattresses, appliances with refrigerant, paint and anything hazardous cost extra or are refused outright.
Driveway or private lot: no permit. On a street, curb lane or sidewalk you need an open street permit from the Cincinnati Department of Transportation and Engineering — with two quirks: permits are issued only to contractors holding a City street contractor license (so the hauler pulls it, not you), and only construction & demolition roll-offs may sit in the right-of-way at all — regular trash dumpsters are banned from Cincinnati streets. The permit lasts exactly 14 days.
Book the size you're sure about, not the size you hope for — one 20-yard bin is cheaper than two 10-yard swaps. Keep the rental inside 7 days. Load heavy material evenly and don't fill past the rim; an overloaded bin gets refused and you pay a trip fee anyway. If your project is flexible, ask about weekday delivery pricing — some haulers discount off-peak drops.
