Your quote comes down to the size you order, the weight and makeup of the debris, the number of days you keep the container, and what the county landfill charges to take the load.

Here is what moves the number up or down on an Albany job.
Start with volume. The size you choose sets the base rate, and ordering one step up costs far less than paying for a second trip because the first container filled early.
Then look at weight. Disposal in Dougherty County is billed by the ton, so a load of shingles or old tile costs more to get rid of than the same space filled with cabinets and carpet. For a sense of the local rate, the City of Albany charges a tipping fee of $40.97 per ton on its own container service.
Rental length plays a smaller part than most people expect. A container priced for five days does not cost much more over a week, though leaving it on site past the agreed window can add a daily charge.
Street placement can add a step. If the container has to sit on a public street or sidewalk in Albany, the City wants that cleared through its Engineering Department first, and your account manager will walk you through it.

Match the container to the volume of your debris, then double check the weight if the load is dense. We stock five sizes.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest we carry. It handles a bathroom gut, a shed cleanout, or a small landscaping job. Because disposal here is priced by weight, it is also the right pick for concrete, brick, and roof shingles.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the middle ground for a kitchen remodel, a single-layer roof, or clearing a packed garage. You get real extra capacity for a modest step up in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Albany households order. It takes a full-house cleanout or a remodel that runs through several rooms, and it still fits on a standard driveway without crowding the curb.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for additions, new builds, and tear-out work that produces drywall, framing lumber, and roofing all at once.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container. Commercial jobs, apartment complexes, and demolition projects with a lot of light and bulky debris are where it earns its keep.
Tell your account manager the scope and the debris, and they will pick the size that keeps your cost down.
On private property the answer is usually no. A container on your own driveway, parking lot, or fenced job site does not need a permit from the City of Albany. The picture changes once any part of it crosses into the public right-of-way, meaning the street, the curb, or the sidewalk.
The City of Albany handles that through a right-of-way encroachment permit, and the City of Albany Engineering Department is the office that reviews and issues them. Engineering works out of 240 Pine Avenue, Suite 200, and its Traffic Division also handles driveway permitting, so one call covers most placement questions.
Call the City of Albany Engineering Department at 229-883-6955 before you set a delivery date if the container will touch pavement. Describe the street, the length of the job, and whether you will narrow a travel lane or a walkway. Work inside a Georgia Department of Transportation right-of-way needs that agency's own approval, which Engineering coordinates.
The City does not list a separate dumpster permit, so a short conversation is the fastest way to get a clear answer. Your account manager can help you reach the right desk and time the delivery around it.
Ordinary household and construction debris is welcome. The restrictions come from Georgia law and from what the Dougherty County Landfill turns away at the gate.
Georgia keeps yard trimmings out of lined landfills. Leaves, grass, brush, shrub and tree prunings, and old Christmas trees all have to be separated from regular trash and composted, chipped, or mulched instead. Land-clearing material such as trees and stumps is treated differently and is not covered by that ban, so ask before you load a mix of both.
The county landfill also refuses herbicides, pesticides, gasoline, oils, batteries, and tires with the rims still on. It takes no hazardous waste and no medical waste at all.
That means the usual suspects stay out of your container: paint, solvents, fuel, antifreeze, pool chemicals, propane tanks, and anything wet. Asbestos is accepted only on weekday afternoons with approval and a day of notice, so it never belongs in a general debris load.
Give your account manager a heads-up about tires, appliances, or any restricted material, and they will sort out where it should go instead.
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.
Most dumpster loads from Albany are hauled to the Dougherty County Landfill at 900 Gaissert Road, Albany, GA 31705. Dougherty County has run the site since 1983 and handles about 400 tons of material a day for the whole county.
The facility is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to noon, and it closes on most public holidays. The gates shut 15 minutes before the posted closing time, and once a month the site pauses from noon to 1 p.m. for a staff meeting. Every load has to arrive fully covered or secured, and commercial loads must stay tarped in both directions.
Because the county operates the site rather than a private company, the posted rates and rules are the same for everyone who crosses the weigh-in. Your account manager confirms where your container is headed and what the disposal charge will be before delivery day.
900 Gaissert Road, Albany, GA 31705
Open Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday until noon, with gates closing 15 minutes early.
Albany orders are usually ready within one to two business days, and the truck shows up inside a 24 to 48 hour window. A little lead time costs nothing and gives you the pick of delivery slots.
Here is how to keep delivery day simple:
Plan around the county schedule as well. The Dougherty County Landfill closes at noon on Saturday and stays shut on Sunday, so a container topped off late in the weekend normally waits for Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves every part of Albany, from the Doublegate and Lake Park neighborhoods off Dawson Road on the northwest side to Radium Springs, East Albany, the downtown blocks along Pine Avenue, and the county roads out past the city line. Send us the address and we will line up delivery, pickup, and disposal for it.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will match the container to the debris, check the placement, and put a firm price in front of you on the first call.
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.
A 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. Because disposal in Dougherty County is billed by the ton, the weight of your debris moves the total as much as the size does. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates up front.
Hauling it yourself only wins on very small jobs. Driving out to Gaissert Road means a weigh-in and a charge every trip, plus fuel, a trailer, and a lot of lifting. One container parked at the house handles a remodel or a cleanout in a single pickup.
It will. A full-size couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves space for a mattress set, a few chairs, and bagged items. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so you run out of room long before you hit the weight cap.
Leave out hazardous waste, paint, solvents, gasoline, oils, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, and medical waste. Yard trimmings have to be separated under Georgia law, and tires with rims are refused locally. Asbestos needs its own arrangement. Flag anything questionable before you load it.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. The catch is weight, not size. Fill a small container with tile, dirt, or concrete and you can pass the included tonnage quickly. Putting heavy material in a load of its own usually works out cheaper in Albany.
Three days generally costs what five days costs, since we price the container around the job instead of the calendar. Weight is the bigger variable. Before delivery, ask your account manager how much tonnage comes with your size and what each extra ton adds.
Almost all home and jobsite debris qualifies: framing lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, countertops, furniture, carpet, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, and soil are fine too and are cheaper kept on their own. Run anything unusual past your account manager first.
