Several things decide what a dumpster costs in Mobile.
Size comes first. A bigger container costs more, but one that's too small can leave you paying for a second haul.
What you load comes next. Some local sites charge by the cubic yard rather than the ton, and roofing, asbestos, and tires are priced separately from everyday trash. Keeping shingles apart from mixed debris can make a real difference.
Where the load goes also matters. Household garbage has to go to one landfill north of the city, while construction and demolition debris has more options closer in. The shorter the haul, the lower the cost tends to be.
The City's curbside trash service has firm limits, too. It picks up only 2 cubic yards at a time, won't take construction debris, and fines residents $532 for setting a trash pile out more than 48 hours early. For a remodel or a big cleanout, a dumpster is the simpler choice.

Choose a size based on how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, one room of junk, or a pile of yard debris. It's also the size for broken concrete and brick, since heavy material reaches the weight limit well before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, a small roof, or new floors in part of the house. It adds space without a big jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common pick in Mobile for whole-house cleanouts, storm cleanup, and remodels that span several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits major renovations, new home construction, and demolition with a lot of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It's built for commercial projects and big teardowns, and it needs plenty of room, which can be tight on narrow Midtown streets.
Not sure which to choose? Walk your account manager through the job, and they'll help you pick.
A dumpster on private property, like your driveway or a private lot, doesn't need a City permit. If the container will sit in a street, an alley, or across a sidewalk, you'll need a Right of Way Permit first.
Inside the city limits, the permit comes from the Engineering Permitting Right of Way Section, part of Build Mobile. The office is on the third floor of the South Tower at Government Plaza, 205 Government Street. The counter is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Wednesday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Call 251-208-5895 with questions. The City charges a base fee, with more added depending on the work, and it doesn't publish a review time.
Outside the city limits, Mobile County Engineering handles right-of-way permits through an online portal. Its office at 7511 Howells Ferry Road is open Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and the phone number is 251-574-4030.

Most construction and household debris can go in your container. The limits come from Alabama rules and from what each local site will take.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. Propane tanks and other pressurized cylinders need to stay out as well.
Local sites turn away more. The construction debris landfills on the City's list take trash and demolition debris only, not household garbage. Batteries, TVs, computers, and other electronics are refused at the Cottage Hill Road site, along with food, chemicals, and railroad cross ties treated with creosote. Asbestos is only taken as a separate, declared load.
Tires need their own plan. Alabama charges a scrap tire fee and runs a statewide program for scrap tires, so mention any tires when you book. If you're unsure 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.
The City of Mobile's landfill information page lists four places for local debris.
Household garbage, trash, and demolition debris can all go to the landfill at 17045 Highway 43 in Mt. Vernon, north of the city. It's open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed on weekends, and takes card payments only.
Three sites take trash and demolition debris only. Dirt, Inc. is at 8081 Cottage Hill Road. H & S Land, Inc. is at 8700 Howells Ferry Road in Semmes and is open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. A third landfill is at 5400 Dossett Road in Prichard.
What's in your container decides where it can go. A load with household garbage mixed in must go to Mt. Vernon, while clean remodeling debris has closer choices. Your account manager will confirm the destination and explain the fees before delivery.
8081 Cottage Hill Road, Mobile, AL 36695
Takes trash and demolition debris only; call ahead for current hours.
8700 Howells Ferry Road, Semmes, AL 36575
Trash and demolition debris only; open weekdays 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Most dumpster rentals in Mobile can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days early gives you time to get a right-of-way permit if you need one.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
Keep weekends in mind, too. The Mt. Vernon landfill is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so a container of mixed household debris filled on a Friday may not be emptied 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 Mobile 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. What you throw away and which site takes the load also affect your total. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates.
Once a job needs more than a few trailer loads, a dumpster is usually cheaper. Local sites charge a minimum on each visit, even for a small load, and household garbage has to go all the way to Mt. Vernon. One container saves you the trips, the fees, and the gas.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so you still have room for a mattress, two chairs, and boxes from a whole room. Furniture is bulky but not very heavy, so you'll fill the space before you reach the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, and batteries out of your Mobile dumpster. Local debris sites also refuse electronics, food, and creosote-treated cross ties. Asbestos and tires need special handling, so mention them when you book and ask your account manager about anything else.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. The material still matters, since roofing and asbestos are priced apart from regular trash. A small container of shingles can cost more to dump than a larger one full of household clutter.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our five-day rental, because dumpsters are priced per job, not per day. What you load and how much it weighs affect the bill more than time. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and extra-day charges.
Most construction and household debris is fine, including lumber, drywall, flooring, cabinets, roofing, furniture, and yard waste. Sorting helps, since local sites price some materials separately. Leave out electronics, batteries, chemicals, and liquids, and check with your account manager about tires or anything you're unsure of.
