Here's what changes the cost of an Atlanta dumpster.
Start with the container. A bigger size costs more, but squeezing a job into a container that's too small often leads to a second haul.
Then think about the debris. Concrete, brick, shingles, and drywall are heavy and add weight quickly. Some items, like mattresses, appliances, and furniture, aren't accepted at the city's construction debris yards, so they need to be handled another way.
The City won't haul your construction debris. Atlanta's Solid Waste Services doesn't pick up building materials or demolition waste, and residents and contractors pay to dispose of it themselves. For a remodel, a dumpster is the practical choice.
Street placement adds a City fee. The Atlanta Department of Transportation's permit fee schedule charges a $20.00 placement fee for a dumpster, plus $10.00 a day for up to 100 linear feet of lane, with higher daily rates for longer stretches. A driveway spot avoids that charge.

Size comes down to the amount of debris and its weight. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for a bathroom gut, a single room cleanout, or a small deck removal. Pick it for concrete, brick, or tile too, since heavy material hits the weight limit before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage cleanout, a flooring job, or a roof tear-off on a smaller house.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a favorite for Atlanta renovations that touch several rooms and for full-house cleanouts.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits additions, major interior rebuilds, new construction, and demolition with mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest size we carry. It's made for commercial projects, large tear-downs, and apartment or office cleanouts.
Tell your account manager about the project, and they'll help you pick the right size.
If the dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or yard, you don't need a City permit. If it sits on a street, sidewalk, or alley, you do.
The Atlanta Department of Transportation requires a Dumpster and POD permit for every container placed in the public right-of-way. You apply online. The application needs a certificate of liability insurance listing the City of Atlanta as certificate holder, and the container provider must sign a compliance agreement.
If there's room on your property, that's usually the simpler route. The City doesn't post a processing time, so plan ahead and call ATLDOT at 404-330-6501 with questions. The department's office is at Atlanta City Hall, 55 Trinity Avenue SW, Suite 4400.
If you're not sure whether your spot counts as right-of-way, your account manager can help you find the right City contact.
Most construction and remodeling debris can go in your container. Georgia's rules and the receiving yard set the limits.
Georgia law keeps whole scrap tires out of landfills unless they've been shredded or chipped first. Used car batteries can't go in with regular waste either. They have to go back to a battery retailer or a recycler.
Atlanta's main construction debris yards are strict about what they take. They turn away household garbage, furniture, mattresses, appliances, tires, batteries, electronics, paint, flammables, liquids, and hazardous materials of any kind. They also refuse yard waste, tree debris, dirt, and textiles.
Asbestos, fuel, and solvents are off limits in a standard dumpster as well. If your cleanout includes furniture or household trash, tell us so we can plan where it goes.
If you're not sure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in.
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.
Construction and demolition debris from Atlanta jobs often goes to one of two recycling yards run by Metro Green Recycling.
Metro Green Recycling One is at 4351 Pleasantdale Road, Atlanta, GA 30340. It takes mixed construction debris, including concrete, metal, shingles, drywall, wood, cardboard, carpet, and brick. It's open Monday through Thursday, 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with construction debris taken until 4:30 p.m., and Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 770-326-6000.
Metro Green Recycling Two is at 2490 Marietta Road NW, Atlanta, GA 30318, on the west side. It takes concrete and shot rock. It's open Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 404-792-8300. Both yards open Saturdays by appointment only and close on Sundays.
Mixed household trash from a cleanout goes elsewhere. Your account manager will confirm the destination for your load and explain any fees before delivery.
4351 Pleasantdale Road, Atlanta, GA 30340
Mixed construction debris; open Monday to Friday, Saturday by appointment.
2490 Marietta Road NW, Atlanta, GA 30318
Concrete and shot rock; open Monday to Friday, Saturday by appointment.
Most Atlanta rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery in a 24 to 48 hour window. If you need a street permit, book earlier so ATLDOT has time to approve it.
Tips for a smooth delivery:
The Metro Green yards open Saturdays by appointment only and close Sundays, so a container filled over the weekend usually heads out Monday.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster delivers across the City of Atlanta on both the Fulton and DeKalb County sides, plus nearby Decatur, East Point, College Park, Sandy Springs, and Smyrna, and farther out to Roswell, Johns Creek, and beyond. We schedule delivery, pickup, and disposal around your project.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll help you choose a size, sort out any street permit, and give you a clear price.
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.
In Atlanta, dumpster 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. Debris type and disposal fees shape the final price, plus the City's fee if the container sits in the street. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
For most projects, a dumpster costs less. The City doesn't collect construction debris, the recycling yards charge for every load, and each trip across town takes time. One container lets you work at your own pace, and we haul everything away in one trip.
Yes, a standard three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's space left for chairs, a bed frame, and boxes. Keep in mind that furniture needs a different destination than construction debris, so let us know it's in the load.
Leave out hazardous waste, paint, liquids, fuel, solvents, flammables, batteries, and asbestos. Georgia keeps whole tires and car batteries out of regular trash. Local construction yards also refuse furniture, mattresses, appliances, and electronics, so tell us about those when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster costs the least, at $399 to $499. Heavy debris like concrete or tile can push a small container past its weight allowance, though, which adds overage fees. Placing the dumpster on your driveway also avoids the City's street permit fee.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our five-day rental, since dumpsters are priced by the job. Weight has more effect on the bill than time. If the container sits in the street, the City's daily lane charge applies for each day, so ask your account manager to plan around it.
Most construction and remodeling debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, shingles, carpet, metal, cardboard, brick, and concrete. Keeping clean concrete in its own load often lowers disposal costs. Your account manager can confirm anything you're unsure about.
