Dumpster Rental FAQ

Got Questions?

Answers to the most common questions about renting a dumpster in Northwest Georgia. If you do not see your question here, give us a call.

What size dumpster do I need for my project?

It depends on the scope of the job. Our 15 yard works well for single-room cleanouts, small bathroom remodels, and garage clearing. The 20 yard handles most mid-size projects like kitchen renovations, deck removals, and roofing jobs. The 30 yard is what contractors typically grab for full home renovations, new construction, and large demolition work. If you are not sure, call us at (706) 236-9273 or take our Dumpster Size Quiz and we will point you in the right direction.

How much does a dumpster rental cost?

Pricing varies based on the material you are loading, your delivery address, and the dumpster size you need. Every rental includes delivery, pickup, and a 14-day rental period with a set weight allowance. There are no hidden fees. For an accurate quote tailored to your project, get pricing here or call us at (706) 236-9273 and we will give you a number on the spot.

How fast can I get a dumpster delivered?

In most cases, we can deliver same day or next day based on inventory availability. Our normal hours are Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 3 PM. Saturday deliveries and pickups are available for an additional fee. Need something outside of regular hours? Call us at (706) 236-9273 and we will do our best to work something out.

How long can I keep the dumpster?

Every rental comes with a 14-day rental period. That gives most people plenty of time to load at their own pace. If you finish early, call us and we will pick it up. If you need more time, no problem. Extensions are available at a daily rate. Just give us a call for details.

What can I put in the dumpster?

Most household and construction debris is fine. That includes furniture, appliances, drywall, wood, siding, roofing shingles, concrete, brick, yard waste, and general junk. See our full accepted items list for details.

What items are not allowed in a dumpster?

You cannot put hazardous materials in the dumpster. That means no tires or wheels, no freon appliances (AC units, freezers, refrigerators), no paint cans, no crossties, no pesticides, chemicals, wet paint, motor oil, gasoline, propane tanks, or medical waste. You also cannot mix trees, brush, dirt, grass, or stumps with regular trash. If prohibited items are found, additional charges will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Not sure about something? Call us at (706) 236-9273 before you toss it in.

Cities include Rome, Cartersville, Rockmart, Calhoun, Summerville, Trion, Dallas, Hiram, Lafayette, and more. Check our full service area map for all the communities we serve.

Do I need a permit for a dumpster?

If the dumpster is going on your own property, like a driveway or job site, you typically do not need a permit. If it needs to be placed on a public street or right-of-way, your city may require one. We recommend checking with your local municipality before delivery. If you have questions, call us and we will help you figure it out.

Can I load the dumpster past the top?

No. All debris must stay level with the top of the dumpster walls. This is a safety requirement for transport. If a dumpster is overloaded, we cannot haul it until the load is brought down to the fill line. Keeping it level also helps you avoid extra charges.

Will a dumpster damage my driveway?

Roll-off dumpsters are heavy, especially when loaded. On asphalt driveways, there is some risk of minor surface marks. On concrete, the risk is lower. If you are concerned, placing plywood boards under the contact points helps distribute the weight. Let us know your surface type when you book and we can advise on the best placement.

Do I need to be home for delivery or pickup?

Not necessarily. If you give us clear placement instructions when you book, we can deliver without you being there. For pickup, just make sure the area around the dumpster is clear so our truck can access it. If you have a gate or any obstacles, let us know ahead of time.

How do I book a dumpster?

You can get started online in under a minute. Just enter your zip code, pick your size, and confirm your details. You can also call us at (706) 236-9273 and we will handle everything over the phone. We answer every call.

What happens if I go over the weight limit?

Each dumpster comes with a set weight allowance based on the size you rent. If your load exceeds the included allowance, overage charges apply per ton over the limit. We weigh every load at the landfill so there are no guesses. For specific weight allowances and overage rates, get a quote or call us at (706) 236-9273.

Do you offer emergency or after-hours delivery?

Our normal hours are Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 3 PM. Saturday deliveries and pickups are available for an additional fee. If you have a project that cannot wait, a storm cleanup, or a job site that needs a dumpster outside of regular hours, give us a call at (706) 236-9273 and we will do our best to make it happen.

Can I swap my dumpster for a different size?

If you fill up your dumpster and still have more to go, call us. We can pick up the full one and drop off a new one, often within the same day. Just give us a heads up so we can have a container ready. We have had customers go through two or three dumpsters on a single project without missing a beat.
