At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Mountain Brook, Alabama, and the Jefferson County neighborhoods around it in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Kitchen and bath updates, whole-house remodels, estate cleanouts, yard projects, and new construction on established lots keep homeowners and builders here asking for roll-off containers.
The price you pay comes down to four things: the container size, the kind of debris, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees where the load is dumped.

Several things move the cost of a dumpster in Mountain Brook.
The size you choose sets the starting point. A larger container costs more, but one that fits the job keeps you clear of overage fees and a second haul.
Weight matters next. Plaster, tile, brick, and old roofing get heavy fast, and heavy loads cost more to dispose of. Furniture and cabinets take up room but weigh much less.
Distance to the landfill plays a part as well. Jefferson County's active landfill is Mt. Olive Landfill in Gardendale, about 15 miles northwest of town. The county asks callers to phone the site for fees instead of listing them online.
State charges sit under every load. The Alabama Department of Revenue lists a solid waste disposal fee of $1 per ton on waste taken into a municipal solid waste landfill. Tires carry their own cost too. Alabama adds a $1.00 fee to each replacement tire sold, and only certain landfills may take scrap tires, so mention any tires when you book.

Pick a size based on how much debris you'll have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, a single-room cleanout, or a load of brush from the yard. It's also the size to choose for brick, stone, or concrete, since dense debris reaches the weight limit before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers garage and attic cleanouts, flooring removal, and smaller roofs. It adds room without a big jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Mountain Brook for emptying a whole house or remodeling several rooms at the same time.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits additions, large renovations, new homes, and demolition jobs with a mix of materials.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest size. Contractors use it for commercial builds, major teardown work, and large property cleanouts.
Share the details of your project with your account manager, and they'll help you pick the right fit.
If the dumpster sits on private property, such as your driveway or a job site, you usually won't need a permit in Mountain Brook. Things change when any part of the container would sit on a City street, sidewalk, or the strip of public land along the road.
The City's Public Works Department looks after that public right-of-way, and its divisions include a Traffic and Road Right of Way Division. The City's forms library lists a Street Cut Clearing Permit for road work, but it doesn't list a separate permit for a dumpster. So the best step is to call before you pick a delivery date.
Mountain Brook Public Works is at 3579 East Street in Cahaba Heights. Call the main line at 205-802-2390, Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tell them where the container would sit, and ask whether you need approval, whether there's a fee, and how long it takes.
If you aren't sure where your lot ends and the right-of-way begins, your account manager can help you reach the right City contact.
Most debris from a remodel or cleanout is fine to load. The limits come from Alabama's rules and from the facility that takes your load.
Alabama keeps tight control of scrap tires. The Alabama Department of Environmental Management approves only certain landfills to accept them, so tires can't be tossed in with a mixed load. The same agency requires a waste review before hazardous or special waste can go to a landfill.
That means hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of a standard dumpster. Car batteries, propane tanks, and pressurized cans belong somewhere else too.
Local sites add their own limits. Jefferson County notes that Johns Transfer Station in Bessemer doesn't accept paint, batteries, or tires. For household chemicals and electronics, the county holds free drop-off events for residents a few times a year.
When you're not sure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in the container.
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.
Jefferson County's residential waste page lists the disposal sites that serve the area.
The county's active landfill is Mt. Olive Landfill at 101 Barber Blvd, Gardendale, AL 35071. The county lists hours of Monday through Friday, 4:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to noon. It asks visitors to call 659-216-8170 to confirm hours and fees.
The county's drop-off site in Pinson sends the material it collects to Mt. Olive as well, so most mixed debris from this part of the county ends up in Gardendale.
Anyone hauling material to these sites has to cover the load, and the county says violators may be fined. Your account manager will confirm where your container is going and walk you through the disposal fees before delivery.
101 Barber Blvd, Gardendale, AL 35071
Jefferson County's active landfill; listed hours Monday to Friday 4:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 7 a.m. to noon.
Most dumpster rentals in Mountain Brook can be booked within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days early leaves time to check with the City about street placement and to get the drop spot ready.
A few tips make delivery easier:
Keep the landfill's schedule in mind as well. Mt. Olive closes at noon on Saturday and is closed on Sunday, so a container filled on a Saturday afternoon may wait until Monday to be hauled.

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 Mountain Brook 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 final cost also depends on the debris and the landfill fees in Jefferson County. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates.
For most projects, a dumpster costs less. Mt. Olive Landfill is about 15 miles away, so each trip in your own truck means a long drive, fuel, a disposal fee, and a covered load. When a job needs more than two or three trips, one dumpster usually wins.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's still space for chairs, a mattress, and bags of clutter. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll usually fill the space before you get near the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, asbestos, and batteries out of your dumpster. Tires need special handling in Alabama, since only approved landfills may take them. Pressurized cans and propane tanks stay out too. Mention tires or appliances when you book so we can plan for them.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, starting at $399 to $499. Your total still depends on weight. A small container packed with tile, plaster, or brick can go over its allowance and add overage fees. Keeping heavy debris in its own load helps you control the cost.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our five-day rental. We price by the job, not by the day, and the weight of your debris affects the bill far more than the number of days. Ask your account manager about the weight allowance and any fee for extra days.
Most household and building debris is allowed. That includes lumber, drywall, flooring, cabinets, roofing, furniture, yard waste, and general junk. Brick and concrete can go in too, though they're heavy, so a smaller container often works best. Your account manager can check any item you're unsure about.
