At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals throughout Augusta, Georgia, and the wider Richmond County area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. South Augusta along Deans Bridge Road and the Gordon Highway corridor runs to older single-family housing, light industrial property and steady commercial turnover, so roof work, interior strip-outs, rental turnarounds and construction debris all keep containers busy here.
What you pay depends on the container size, the weight and the kind of material, the rental length and the rate the landfill charges. Augusta is unusual in a way that works for you: the consolidated government owns and operates its own landfill, publishes its rates, and charges clean inert material far less than mixed debris.

Container size sets the base figure, and Augusta's lot sizes are generous enough that the bigger container is usually the practical one. A single larger haul beats two smaller ones nearly every time.
The material class is where real money moves, and here the numbers are public. Augusta charges $32.70 per ton for construction and demolition material but only $22.40 per ton for inert waste, which the City defines to include soil, concrete, cured asphalt, rock, brick, stumps, limbs and untreated unpainted lumber. Standard household and commercial waste is charged at $40.30 per ton for the monthly volume most container customers fall into.
Weight follows from that. A slab tear-out or a brick chimney fills a small container with very heavy material, so the 10-yard container exists precisely for that job rather than for the biggest volume.
Rental length is the least of it. Tell your account manager when the job finishes and the number you are quoted holds.

Choose the size by volume, then check the weight, then check what rate the material will attract. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes in Augusta.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest container and the right answer for concrete, brick, soil and tile. Keeping that material in a container of its own also keeps it in the cheaper inert class at the landfill.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, a kitchen or bathroom strip-out or a small roof. It is a good fit for a rental turnaround.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most popular size in Augusta. It takes a whole-house cleanout or a remodel across several rooms, with carpet, drywall and cabinets going in together.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for larger renovations, new residential construction and commercial projects. It is what most contractors in Richmond County order first.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It suits demolition work, industrial cleanouts and sustained commercial jobs that generate volume rather than weight.
Describe the job to your account manager, including whether the debris is mostly masonry or mostly mixed, and they will size it and sequence it for you.
On private property, including a driveway or a job site you control, Augusta requires no separate permit for the container itself. That covers most of the work in south Augusta, where driveways and side lots are usually wide enough.
Public ground is a different matter and there are two different offices involved. For a container on a sidewalk, the City's sanitation rules allow a closed container of six cubic yards or more to stay in place only where the sanitary department has granted special permission. Note the wording: the exception is written around closed containers, so an open-top roll-off is not automatically covered and the department has to be asked.
For anything within the Augusta right of way, the route is an encroachment permit through the Engineering Division, which enforces the City's Rights of Way Encroachments Guidelines and handles any encroachment within Augusta right of way. The office is at 535 Telfair Street and the number for encroachment questions is 706-821-1706.
No fee is published for either route, so leave a few days. Your account manager will confirm which office your placement needs and help you make the case before the delivery is scheduled.
Georgia's environmental agency publishes no statewide banned-materials table, so the operative list in Augusta is the City landfill's own, and it is short and specific. The landfill will not accept bulk liquids, lead-acid batteries, oil, wet paint, PCBs, radioactive waste or special waste without written approval.
Two materials have their own procedure rather than a flat refusal. Asbestos-containing material may be disposed of at the landfill, but every load has to arrive with an asbestos manifest. Non-hazardous special waste needs a completed waste profile and may need laboratory testing before it can be brought in.
Tires are the item that catches commercial customers out. The landfill accepts tires from non-business entities, but not from any entity the state requires to be a permitted scrap tire generator or transporter, so tires from a commercial job need their own route.
Standard exclusions apply as well: hazardous waste, solvents, fuel and medical waste stay out of any delivered container. Ask your account manager about anything unusual before it goes in, because an asbestos manifest arranged in advance is far cheaper than a load turned away at the scale.
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.
Augusta is one of the few cities on our list that owns and operates its own landfill, and it accepts construction and demolition waste by name. The Richmond County Municipal Solid Waste Landfill at 4330 Deans Bridge Road, Blythe, GA 30805 is run by the consolidated government's Environmental Services Department and holds a Subtitle D permit from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. The number is 706-592-3200.
It is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., for all customers, and closes on Independence Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. For a container customer in south Augusta the haul is short, which keeps the delivery and pickup side of your quote down.
The City describes what it takes in detail. Construction and demolition waste covers wood, brick, concrete, metal, wallboard, insulation and other non-hazardous building materials. Inert waste is a separate and cheaper class covering soil, concrete, cured asphalt, rock, brick, yard trimmings, stumps, limbs, logs and untreated unpainted lumber. Recycling is accepted at no charge.
That split is the practical lesson. A demolition job that produces a slab and a pile of brick should not mix them with the drywall and carpet, because the masonry on its own is charged in the cheaper class. Your account manager can plan the container order around it and will confirm the destination and current rate before delivery.
4330 Deans Bridge Road, Blythe, GA 30805
Augusta's own landfill, open Monday to Friday 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Most Augusta rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. The short haul to Deans Bridge Road helps when you need a quick swap part-way through a job.
Five things that make delivery and pickup go smoothly:
The landfill's Saturday window is short, closing at 11 a.m., so a container filled on a Saturday afternoon will usually be hauled on Monday. Worth knowing if you are working a weekend.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Augusta and Richmond County, from the south Augusta neighborhoods along Deans Bridge Road and Tobacco Road to the Gordon Highway commercial strip, the area around Augusta Regional Airport and the riverfront districts downtown. Because the city and the county are a single consolidated government, the same rules follow you across what used to be two sets of boundaries.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, work out whether splitting the masonry saves you money at the City landfill, and give you a clear price on the 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.
Augusta rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, on a five-day period. The City landfill charges different rates for inert, construction and household material, so the mix in your load matters. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage before delivery.
For anything bigger than a pickup load, renting is cheaper. Self-hauling means paying by weight on arrival every trip, plus fuel and your own time, and the landfill closes at 11 a.m. on Saturday. One container collects the lot.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser and boxes. With furniture you run out of room long before you reach the weight allowance.
The Augusta landfill refuses bulk liquids, lead-acid batteries, oil, wet paint, PCBs, radioactive waste and untested special waste. Asbestos needs a manifest with every load, and commercial scrap tires need their own route. Hazardous waste and solvents are out everywhere. Ask your account manager first.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. The bigger saving in Augusta usually comes from the material class. Keeping concrete, brick and soil in their own load puts them in the cheaper inert rate at the City landfill rather than the construction debris rate.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as five days, because the price is built around the job rather than counted by the day. Weight is what changes the invoice. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs.
Most construction and household debris is allowed: wood, brick, concrete, metal, wallboard, insulation, roofing, flooring, carpet, furniture and general cleanout material. Clean soil, rock, stumps and untreated lumber are accepted too, and cost less kept in their own load. Check unusual items with your account manager.
