How Much Does it Cost to Rent a Dumpster in Atlanta?

Our dumpster rental process starts with a conversation about what you're tossing. This lets us know what size dumpster you need and where we might take your waste. Once we have a delivery address, we'll provide a free, upfront quote that bundles all the costs associated with your rental into one price. Simply fill the bin when it arrives and reach out by our online pickup form or phone for collection.

You can schedule delivery when you place your order. If you aren't sure of when you'll need the container at that point, you can give us a call back to get on the drop-off schedule. Keep in mind that our inventory determines how quickly we can get you a dumpster, so it's best to reach out a few days before you need the container to ensure we have one available for you.

There are many factors that help determine the final price of your container. Some are fixed rates, like your rental period and weight allowance. Others fluctuate for a number of reasons and include:

• Location
• Dumpster inventory
• Disposal charges
• Facility fees

You can usually get a permit within a week, but it depends on how busy your local government is and how many stages of approval it requires.

Our suggestion is to consider placing the dumpster in your driveway, where you don't need a permit. If you have to place the container in a public right-of-way, reach out the the city of Atlanta right after ordering a dumpster to apply for a Right-of-Way Permit to get the process rolling.

The majority of trash in Atlanta is taken to the Atlanta Transfer Station, located at 1625 Westgate Parkway SW. Additional facilities include the Dekalb County Landfill and the Doraville Transfer Station.

Tossing hazardous items like flammable, toxic or hazardous waste can have a number of negative impacts. They can result in landfill fires, a decrease in environmental quality and, if the item is a liquid, may leak into nearby waterways.

Aside from environmental issues, the landfill will charge you a prohibited item fee, resulting in a second potentially unexpected invoice.

To learn more about prohibited items, give us a call at 678-233-1434.

We accept household junk, construction debris and yard waste in our dumpsters. We can also deliver front load dumpsters to accommodate daily waste needs at your business. Accepted items for roll off and front load containers will vary by dumpster size and location.
