At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Savannah, Georgia, and the surrounding Chatham County area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Savannah keeps two kinds of work going at once. Century-old houses downtown and in the midtown squares need roofs, plaster and porches put right, while construction on the west side and out toward the port keeps turning out fresh debris. A roll-off container suits both.
Four things set your price: the size you book, what you load, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the facility that takes your debris. Below you'll find our price ranges, how the City handles containers on public property, and what the landfill and county sites won't take.

A Savannah quote is built from a few plain parts, and knowing them helps you keep the total down.
Size comes first. A larger container costs more, but guessing small is the expensive mistake, since it leads to a second haul or a load that runs past its weight allowance.
Weight is the next piece. The landfill bills by the ton, so old plaster, slate, brick and roofing cost more to bury than the same volume of cabinets and carpet. Tell us what's coming out of the house and we can set the allowance to match.
Downtown placement is its own factor. Narrow lanes, squares and metered parking mean the container often can't simply go on the property, and the City charges by the day for each parking space a container takes up. Shorter rentals cost less in that situation, so plan the loading days before the container lands.
Finally, county drop-off sites won't help you here. Chatham County says its drop-off centers cannot take construction debris from a demolition or a major renovation, even when the homeowner is doing the work. That leaves a container as the practical route for anything past a small repair.

Choose by volume and by weight, not just by the number of rooms. Prime Dumpster carries 10 to 40 yard containers, and most Savannah jobs land in the middle of that range.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest. It works for a bathroom tear-out, a small cleanout, or a yard project. It's also the one to book for brick, concrete and old chimney rubble, which hit the weight limit while the container still looks half empty.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers mid-size work like a garage cleanout, a flooring pull, or a small roof job. It gives you real room without the cost of stepping up much further.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common pick for Savannah homes. It takes a whole-house cleanout or a remodel across several rooms, and it still fits a driveway or a couple of parking spaces.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits a large addition, a new build, or a demolition that makes a lot of mixed material. Book it when a 20-yard would obviously need emptying twice.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It's meant for commercial construction, large demolition, and industrial cleanouts that turn out high volumes of bulky, lighter waste.
Caught between two sizes? Describe the job to your account manager and they'll steer you to the right one.
A container kept entirely on private property, like a driveway or a fenced lot, doesn't need a City permit in Savannah. Anything on public property does, and in this city that covers a lot of ground.
The City of Savannah requires a Dumpster/Container Permit for anyone placing a dumpster, trailer or similar container on public property, including a spot that takes parking spaces out of use. Traffic Engineering approves it, along with any other City department that has a say, before the container can go down. Staff may come out and look at the spot first, and the Fire Marshal and the Sanitation Bureau also check that the placement won't get in the way of emergency crews or collection trucks.
There is an application fee plus a daily charge for each parking space the container occupies, so ask for the current cost when you apply. Reviews take no more than four working days once the application and fee are in, and the City will suggest another spot if yours doesn't work.
The City also sets conditions once the container is in place. It can't sit on the sidewalk except by special arrangement, it has to be covered when nobody is loading it, the area around it has to stay clear of debris, plywood goes under the runners on pavement, and reflective tape is required at the top corners of any container next to a travel lane. The permit itself has to be displayed where it can be seen.
Call the City of Savannah Traffic Engineering office at 912-651-6600 to confirm what your address needs. The office is at 20 Interchange Drive. Your account manager can walk you through the requirements and help you get the paperwork started before your delivery date.
Most household and construction debris is fine. The limits come from Georgia's disposal rules and from what the receiving facility will take.
Georgia keeps yard trimmings out of lined municipal landfills. Leaves, grass, brush, shrub and tree prunings and old Christmas trees all have to be separated from ordinary waste and sent for composting or mulching instead. Land-clearing material like stumps and large limbs is treated differently, so ask before you load it.
Scrap tires are their own stream in Georgia, moved by permitted carriers to permitted destinations. Don't bury them in a container of drywall. Car and truck batteries also have to stay out, and Chatham County won't take them at its drop-off sites either.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos can't go in a standard container. Chatham County turns away flammable material, household chemicals and paint that hasn't dried, which tells you how these materials get handled around here.
Holding something and unsure about it? Ask your account manager before it goes in the container.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Roll-off loads from Savannah go to the large lined municipal solid waste landfill in Chatham County, on Little Neck Road on the city's south-west side. It is permitted by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, which sets what the site may bury and how it has to be operated, and it takes loads from across the county. Loads are weighed at the entrance and billed by the ton.
The City's own disposal sites don't fill this role. The Dean Forest Road facility on Dean Forest Road and the Bacon Park Transfer Station on Skidaway Road are reserved for City residents clearing out their own homes, and the City states plainly that commercial waste is not accepted at either one. That includes waste from work on a rental property.
Because of that split, contractor debris and anything from a paid job has to go to the county landfill. Your account manager will confirm where your container is headed and explain the disposal fees that apply before delivery.
Most Savannah rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Downtown jobs are the exception, since the City needs up to four working days to review a placement on public property. Book early there.
Here's how to keep delivery day simple:
Keep the weekend in mind too. The City's own sites close on Sundays and holidays, and landfill hours run short on Saturday, so a container filled late in the week may not be emptied until Monday.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves all of Savannah, from the squares downtown and the streets around Forsyth Park out to Ardsley Park and the midtown blocks, the south side, and the islands toward Wilmington Island, plus the west Chatham communities out past Garden City. Wherever the job sits, we line up delivery, pickup and disposal to suit your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, work out whether your spot needs a City permit, 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.
Dumpster rentals in Savannah 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 disposal fees at the county landfill both move the final figure, and a downtown placement adds a City permit charge. Your account manager confirms the details when you book.
Renting usually wins in Savannah, and often it's the only option. The City's disposal sites take household waste from residents only, so a contractor or a rental owner can't use them at all. Once you factor in fuel, a trailer and repeated trips to the county landfill, one container is simpler and cheaper.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser and a stack of boxes. With bulky furniture you run out of space well before you approach the weight limit, so volume is what to plan around.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos out of a Savannah container. Georgia also bars yard trimmings from lined landfills and routes scrap tires to permitted sites, so grass, brush and tires have to be separated. Car batteries stay out as well. Mention anything unusual when you book.
The 10-yard container carries the lowest starting price, $399 to $499. What you put in it still drives the bill. Heavy material such as brick, tile or old plaster can pass the weight allowance in a half-full container, so keeping dense debris in a load of its own is usually the cheaper route.
A three-day rental normally costs the same as a five-day one, since containers are priced by the job rather than by the day. Downtown is the exception, because the City charges per day for each parking space a container takes. Ask your account manager how the rental window affects your total before you book.
Nearly all household and construction debris is fine in a Savannah container. That covers lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, carpet and general cleanout junk. Clean concrete and brick are accepted too, and they often cost less per ton in a separate load. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
