Everything people ask before they book
Below are the questions we hear most on the phone at (770) 629-0113, grouped by topic. If you don't see your answer here, call — someone from the crew can walk through your specific job, address, and timeline.
Every quote we give is a flat rate: delivery, the rental period, pickup, and disposal up to a stated tonnage allowance, all in one number before you book.
Part 1
Pricing & Booking
How do I get a price?
Call (770) 629-0113. Tell us the size you're considering (or what you're cleaning out, and we'll recommend one), your delivery address, and roughly how long you need it. You'll get one flat number on that call — no online form, no follow-up quote.
Is the price really flat, or are there hidden fees?
The quoted price includes delivery, the rental period, pickup, and disposal up to the tonnage allowance for that container size. The only thing that can add to the total is going over the stated weight allowance or keeping the container well past the agreed rental period — and we'll tell you both of those rates up front, not after the fact.
Can I book online?
No — we're a phone-only operation. That's deliberate: pricing a dumpster right depends on a couple of quick questions about your site and your debris that a form doesn't always catch. Call (770) 629-0113 and we'll get you a firm price in one conversation.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For Canton and the closest Cherokee County communities, we can often deliver same-day or next-day depending on the route schedule. Farther out in our service area, next-day to a couple of days out is more typical. Call and ask — we'll give you a real answer for your address, not a generic estimate.
What forms of payment do you take?
Ask when you call to book — the crew answering the phone can confirm current payment options for your order.
How long can I keep the dumpster?
Standard rental periods are set when you book and included in the flat rate. Need more time? Call before your period runs out and we'll see what we can work out — it's easier to extend proactively than to sort out after pickup is already scheduled.
Part 2
Sizes & What Fits
What sizes do you offer?
Five roll-off sizes: 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 yard. Smaller sizes suit garage cleanouts and small remodels; larger sizes fit whole-home cleanouts, roofing tear-offs, and construction debris.
How do I know which size I need?
Tell us what you're clearing out and roughly how much of it when you call. A single-room cleanout or small yard job usually fits a 10 or 15 yard. A kitchen or bathroom remodel or a mid-size roof often calls for a 20. Whole-house cleanouts, large renovations, and new construction debris typically need a 30 or 40.
What's the difference between a 10 and a 15 yard dumpster?
The 15 yard holds about 50% more volume than the 10 yard. If you're unsure, sizing up slightly is usually cheaper than paying an overage fee or needing a second haul — ask us for a recommendation based on what you're loading.
Can a dumpster fit in my driveway?
In most cases, yes. Tell us your driveway width and any obstacles — trees, fences, low wires, slope — when you book, and we'll recommend a size and placement that works, or flag if the street or a paid permit is a better option.
How much weight can I put in a dumpster?
Each size comes with a tonnage allowance included in the flat rate. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, shingles, or tile add weight fast, so mention those specifically when you call — we may recommend a different size or a heavy-debris rate suited to the material.
Do you offer same-day delivery?
Often, for Canton and the nearest Cherokee County communities, depending on the day's route schedule. Call and ask for your specific address — we'll give you a straight answer rather than a blanket promise.
Part 3
Permits, Placement & Rules
Do I need a permit to have a dumpster delivered?
If the container sits entirely on your own driveway or property, most of our service area doesn't require a permit. If it needs to sit on a public street, some cities and HOAs do require one — ask when you book and we can tell you what applies to your address.
What can't go in the dumpster?
Hazardous and regulated materials are not allowed, including paint and paint cans, motor oil and other automotive fluids, tires, batteries (car or household), propane tanks, refrigerants and appliances containing them, asbestos, and other hazardous chemicals. Ask when you book if you're unsure about a specific item.
Can I put appliances in a dumpster?
Most household appliances are fine, but items that hold refrigerant — refrigerators, freezers, and window AC units — usually need the refrigerant removed first, per disposal regulations. Ask when you book so we can confirm what's needed for your specific appliance.
Can I put yard waste or tree debris in the dumpster?
Yes — branches, brush, and yard debris are common loads, especially after storms. Just don't mix in prohibited items like batteries or propane canisters from a chainsaw or trimmer.
Where on my property should the dumpster go?
A flat, solid, accessible surface — driveways work best. Keep clearance from low tree limbs, power lines, and fences in mind. Tell us your setup when you call and we'll advise on the best spot before the truck arrives.
What happens if I put a prohibited item in the dumpster by accident?
Call us as soon as you notice — it's easier to remove one item before pickup than after. Prohibited materials found at pickup or disposal can add fees or delay the pickup, so when in doubt, ask before you toss it in.
Part 4
Service Area & Scheduling
What areas do you serve?
18 communities across 6 north Georgia counties: Cherokee County (Canton — our home base — plus Woodstock, Holly Springs, Ball Ground, Waleska, Nelson, Hickory Flat, Sixes, Free Home, and Mountain Park), Cobb County (Acworth, Marietta), Forsyth County (Cumming), Fulton County (Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell), Pickens County (Jasper), and Bartow County (Emerson).
How fast can you deliver near Canton versus farther out?
Canton and the closest Cherokee County communities are typically same-day or next-day, since that's closest to our P. Rickman Industrial Park yard off I-575. Communities farther out — like Alpharetta, Roswell, Jasper, or Emerson — usually run next-day depending on the day's route. Call for a specific window for your address.
Do you deliver to areas outside your listed 18 communities?
Call and ask. If you're near our existing routes, we may be able to work you in — it depends on the address.
Does severe weather affect scheduling?
Yes. North Georgia sees real winter ice storms most years, typically December through February, and events like Hurricane Helene in September 2024 caused significant tree and debris damage across Cherokee County. Demand spikes during and after both, so cleanup and storm-debris calls may take a bit longer to schedule than routine jobs — call as early as you can once you know you need a container.
Can I schedule a specific delivery time?
We work in delivery windows tied to our daily routes out of Canton rather than exact appointment times, since traffic and prior stops affect timing. Tell us if you have a hard constraint — like needing the truck before a specific time — and we'll do what we can to route around it.
What if I need the dumpster picked up early or the job runs long?
Call us either way. Early pickup is usually easy to arrange. If you need more time than your rental period covers, let us know before it lapses so we can work out an extension rather than sorting it out after the fact.
