How much does a dumpster rental cost in Georgia?

What the job involves

A roll-off truck slides the empty container off in your driveway or yard and comes back for it when the rental ends, on the agreed date or when you call. The listed price usually covers the drop-off, the pickup, a set rental period, a weight allowance and the landfill fee for that weight, though the details differ from one company to the next.

The size names count cubic yards of space. Smaller containers suit a room or garage cleanout, and larger ones suit a remodel or a whole-house cleanout, but heavy debris can use up the weight allowance before the container looks full.

The three fees in the table come after the fact: a daily charge for keeping the container past the rental period, a charge per ton over the allowance, and a charge for each mattress thrown in. A dumpster differs from junk removal in who does the loading. Here, you do.

What moves the price

Steps between sizes

Some companies price neighboring sizes close together, so moving up a size can cost little more and leave room for debris you did not plan for.

Tons in the price

Two quotes for the same size can include different weight allowances, and the lower price may come with fewer tons.

Swapping a full container

Having a full container hauled off and an empty one dropped during a long project is usually billed as a new rental or a swap fee.

Banned items found

Paint, tires, batteries and appliances with refrigerant are banned or surcharged by many companies, and finding them in the load can add a fee.

Dirt and concrete loads

Some companies rent a separate container for heavy fill such as dirt or concrete, with its own price and loading rules, because a full load would be too heavy to haul.

Getting a quote

Questions to ask each junk removal and dumpster company before you compare prices:

1. How many tons does this price include, and what do you charge per ton over that?
2. How many days is the rental, and what is the daily fee after that?
3. Which items are not allowed, and which carry an added fee?
4. Is there a delivery charge for my address, or a fuel or environmental fee on top?
5. Can you set the container on my driveway, and do you put boards under it?
6. What does it cost to swap a full container for an empty one?

Where these numbers come from

We collect these prices with our own crawler, which reads the public websites of Georgia junk removal and dumpster companies and follows each site's robots.txt rules. It has read 178 of their websites so far. Each range is the middle half of the prices those businesses post, collected November 2026. Where that middle half is a single price, we show it as "about" that price.

A price list is what a business says it charges; a cost guide is a business's own estimate of what the job usually runs in Georgia. We never name the businesses behind a range. How we collect and check junk removal prices.
