Several things move the price of a Gallatin dumpster.
Size sets the starting point. Choose one that fits the job, and you won't pay for a second haul or overage on a container that's too small.
Debris type makes a real difference here. The Resource Authority in Sumner County charges $73 per ton for household trash, $85 per ton for construction and demolition debris, and $100 per ton for shingles. So a roofing job or a remodel costs more to dispose of than a cleanout of ordinary junk the same size.
Weight ties it all together. Shingles, tile, and plaster fill up your weight allowance long before the container looks full, while furniture and boxes mostly take up space.
Permits can add a small cost too. On home construction, remodel, and demolition jobs, the City adds the dumpster to your building permit for a small fee, covered in the permit section below.

Pick a size by the amount of debris, then check it against the weight. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a gutted bathroom, a spare room cleanout, or a couple of truckloads of yard debris. It's also the size for concrete, brick, or tile, because heavy debris reaches the weight limit first.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage cleanout or a roof stripped down to the decking on a smaller home.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is where many Gallatin kitchen remodels, flooring jobs, and whole-house cleanouts land.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits large renovations, additions, and new home construction with lots of framing scraps and packaging.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It's built for full teardowns, commercial construction, and job sites with several trades working at once.
Not sure which fits? Your account manager can walk through the job and recommend a size.
A dumpster on private property, like your driveway, doesn't need a separate street permit in Gallatin. In fact, on home construction, remodel, and demolition jobs, the driveway or yard is where the City wants it.
Gallatin's Building Codes Department placement rules say dumpsters on those jobs can't sit in a public way at all. The dumpster must be added to the building permit, with its location shown on the plans, and the fee is $10 per dumpster. Roll-off dumpsters need a top cover that closes. For remodels and demolitions, the container must be in place before work starts, and it's checked at the pre-demolition inspection. Breaking the rules can mean a fine of up to $50, court costs, and a possible permit suspension.
The City explains why. Its fire trucks are about eight feet wide, and its aerial truck needs a 19-foot footprint to set up, so streets have to stay clear.
Residential building permits take at least three to five days, so plan ahead. Call Gallatin Building Codes at 615-451-5968. The office is at 132 W. Main Street, Room 202, and takes permit applications from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Your account manager can help you find the right contact.
Most debris from a remodel, a new build, or a cleanout can go in. The limits come from standard landfill rules and from the Resource Authority's own gate.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. Keep propane tanks out as well.
Some items are priced on their own at the county site. Mattresses and box springs are charged per piece. Tires are limited to five in a mixed load and carry their own fee, so keep them separate and mention them when you book.
For small household recyclables, Gallatin residents can use the City's Recycling Center at 641 Long Hollow Pike. It's open to Gallatin residents around the clock, and its phone number is 615-452-2147.
If you're unsure about anything on your list, 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.
Most dumpster loads from Gallatin go to the Resource Authority in Sumner County, the county's public solid waste authority. It sits right in Gallatin at 625 Rappahannock Wire Rd., Gallatin, TN 37066, and its phone number is 615-452-1114.
The site is open to residential and commercial customers Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. It's closed Sundays. It takes household trash, construction and demolition debris, shingles, yard waste, and clean wood, each at its own per-ton rate with a minimum charge per load.
Because the county's disposal site is close by, your load doesn't travel far. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and walk you through the fees before delivery.
625 Rappahannock Wire Rd., Gallatin, TN 37066
Open Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Most Gallatin rentals can be booked within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If your job needs a building permit, get the dumpster added to it first, since permits take at least three to five days.
A few tips for smooth delivery:
Keep the county site's hours in mind, too. The Resource Authority closes at 2 p.m. on Saturdays and stays closed Sundays, so a container filled late in the week may wait until 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.
Dumpster rentals in Gallatin 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. Your debris type and the county's per-ton disposal rate also shape the total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
For one small load, driving it to the county site yourself can cost less. For a remodel or a full cleanout, a dumpster usually wins. Every trip carries a minimum disposal charge, plus fuel and time. A container lets you load once and have it all hauled away.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, with plenty of room left for a mattress, a chair or two, and some flattened boxes. Couches are bulky, not heavy, so you'll fill the space before hitting the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, asbestos, and propane tanks out of your Gallatin dumpster. The county site limits tires to five in a mixed load and charges for mattresses by the piece, so mention those when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. The county site charges by weight, though, and shingles have the highest per-ton rate. A small container full of roofing can cost more than you'd expect, so plan heavy loads carefully.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price per job, not per day, and your debris weight changes the bill more than the rental length. Ask your account manager what weight is included and what extra tons cost.
Most construction and household debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, flooring, cabinets, roofing, furniture, and general junk. Yard waste and clean wood are accepted at the county site too and cost less per ton when kept separate. Your account manager can confirm anything you're unsure about.
