A few things decide what an Alabaster rental costs.
It starts with size. A larger container carries a higher price, but choosing well up front keeps you away from overage fees and a second delivery.
Weight is the next piece. Shingles, tile, and concrete are heavy, and the county landfill charges by the ton, so a dense load costs more to dispose of than a bulky but light one.
The landfill itself shapes the price. Alabaster has no landfill inside city limits, so loads go to the Shelby County Highway 70 Landfill near Columbiana. The county's posted rate for in-county residents is $30 per ton, which already includes a $1 state fee. Out-of-county loads pay $45 per ton.
City pickup won't cover a big project, either. The City's junk pickup rules say it won't pick up construction refuse from a major renovation, new construction, or demolition. Owners can use a commercial hauler licensed by the City for that, and a dumpster handles it in one step.

Choose based on how much debris you'll have and how much it weighs. Prime Dumpster carries sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom redo, a small room cleanout, or a weekend of yard work. It's the best pick for concrete, brick, or dirt, since heavy debris hits the weight cap before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a garage cleanout, carpet removal across several rooms, or a small roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a popular size in Alabaster for clearing out a whole house or tackling a remodel that spans several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles large renovations, additions, and new home construction with lots of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's built for commercial projects, major demolition, and big property cleanouts.
Not sure which size fits? Talk it through with your account manager, and they'll help you decide.
When the dumpster stays on private property, like your driveway or yard, Alabaster generally doesn't require a permit. Things are different if the container would sit in a City street or the right-of-way.
The City doesn't list a separate permit for placing a container in the street. Its Public Works department handles street and right-of-way maintenance, so that's the office to ask before a container goes anywhere but private property. Call Alabaster Public Works at 205-664-6810. The office is at 301 Limestone Drive.
If you're building or remodeling under a City permit, the Engineering and Building Services department also expects construction debris to be kept in containers, bins, dumpsters, or a fenced area on site.

Most household and construction debris is fine. The landfill's rules set the main limits.
The Shelby County Highway 70 Landfill doesn't accept hazardous waste, car batteries, vehicle tires, or liquids of any kind. Those items need to stay out of your container.
Tires have their own system in Alabama. The Alabama Department of Environmental Management runs a scrap tire program funded by a $1.00 fee on every replacement tire sold. Scrap tires go through registered tire handlers rather than regular trash.
Paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos are off-limits in a standard dumpster as well.
The City's own curbside program also won't take appliances that hold Freon, oil, or gas, including gas lawn mowers. Mention any of those when you book.
If you're unsure about an item, ask your account manager before you load it.
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.
Most dumpster loads from Alabaster go to the Shelby County Highway 70 Landfill at 401 Landfill Road, Columbiana, AL 35051. It sits just off Highway 70 between Columbiana and Calera, and Shelby County Environmental Services runs it. The landfill takes household trash and construction and demolition debris.
It's open Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. It's closed on Sundays, New Year's Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. You can reach the landfill at 205-669-4169.
The landfill charges by weight and accepts cash or card. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and walk you through any disposal costs before delivery.

Open Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Most Alabaster rentals can be set up within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days ahead gives you time to check on street placement and get the drop area ready.
Follow these tips for a smooth delivery:
The landfill schedule matters too. The Highway 70 Landfill is closed on Sundays and closes early on Saturdays, so a container filled late in the week may be hauled on Monday.

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.
Alabaster rentals range 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. Your debris type and the per-ton fees at the county landfill also affect the total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
For small loads, a trip to the county landfill can work. For a remodel or a full cleanout, a dumpster usually wins. The landfill is a drive out Highway 70, it charges on every visit, and the City won't pick up renovation debris. A dumpster takes it all in one haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so you'll still have room for a recliner, a bed frame, and boxes. Furniture is bulky for its weight, so you'll usually fill the space before you reach the weight limit.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. The Shelby County landfill also refuses car batteries and vehicle tires. Appliances with Freon, oil, or gas need special handling too. Your account manager can tell you how to deal with anything on that list.
The 10-yard dumpster costs the least, at $399 to $499. Since the county landfill charges by the ton, what you load still drives the final price. A small container packed with shingles or concrete can exceed its limit and add fees. A separate load for heavy debris helps.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price by the job, not the day, and the weight of your debris affects the total more than the rental length. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and extra-day charges.
Most household and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, flooring, roofing, cabinets, furniture, and general junk. Yard debris and brush are usually fine too. Keep tires, car batteries, and liquids out, since the county landfill won't take them. Your account manager can check any item for you.
