At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Canton, Georgia, and the Cherokee County communities around it, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Growth along the Highway 5 and Highway 20 corridors keeps new residential construction busy, the older streets near downtown turn over through remodels and additions, and homeowners out toward Lake Allatoona and Hickory Flat keep larger cleanout containers moving.
What you pay depends on the container size, the weight and type of debris, how long you keep it, and the charge at whichever facility can take that material. The sections below cover the price ranges, the City rule for putting a container in a street, what the public sites will and will not accept, and how quickly delivery can be arranged.

Three things shape a Canton quote, and the first is what kind of debris you have.
Georgia sorts disposal sites by what they hold, and the split matters to your bill. Clean concrete, cured asphalt, rock, and brick count as inert material with their own landfill class, separate from mixed construction debris and separate again from household waste. A clean hard load is cheaper to place than the same weight mixed with wood and drywall, so keeping heavy rubble in its own container often beats one mixed haul.
Weight comes next. A 10-yard container handles roughly the weight a 30-yard would at a fraction of the volume, which is why dense material belongs in the small size. Shingles, mortar, and tile all run up the scale quickly. Carpet, cabinets, and furniture do the opposite and fill the container with light volume, so size up for a cleanout.
Then there is where the load can actually go. Canton and Cherokee County both run free public sites for residents, and neither one takes a truck-hauled load, which the disposal section below explains. That means a container here travels to a permitted site rather than to the local drop-off, and the haul is part of the price.
Timing is the smaller factor. Our ranges assume five days, and a shorter rental rarely prices differently, so pick the window that fits the work rather than the shortest one on the calendar.

Match the size to how much debris the job makes and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest we rent and the right one for weight. A bathroom gut, a patio or walkway tear-out, a small cleanout, or a load of brick and block all suit it, because dense material hits the limit before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the jobs in between: a garage emptied out, old flooring pulled up, or a section of roof stripped. It adds room without the step up in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice around Canton for a whole-house cleanout or a remodel across several rooms, and it swallows bulky furniture easily.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for additions, new homes, and bigger renovations where a few trades are working at once and debris builds up fast.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, for commercial construction, demolition, and industrial cleanouts with serious volume.

A container on private property, such as your driveway or a fenced job site, needs no City permit in Canton. There is no application and no published fee for that.
A container in a street, alley, or sidewalk is different. The City code bars anyone from putting lumber, wood, boxes, bricks, or other such obstructions in a street, alley, or sidewalk without the permission of the Building Inspector. That is a person rather than a counter, so leave time for it, and the City publishes no fee or turnaround for the permission.
There is also an equipment condition that catches people out. Anyone who causes an obstruction to be placed in a city street, alley, or sidewalk has to display a danger signal or light at it, strong enough to warn traffic and let drivers avoid it. The City does not supply that, so it has to be arranged before the container lands.
One more rule applies to the haul itself. The City makes it unlawful to carry dirt, shingles, laths, or trash over city streets in a vehicle that is not built to stop the load spilling, and it bars tracking mud onto streets and sidewalks in any quantity. In practice that means the container is tarped on the way out and the approach stays clean.
Call Canton Public Works at 770-720-7674 with questions about placement, or your account manager can find the right office before a delivery date is set.
Everyday construction and household debris is fine to load. The limits come from what the receiving site will accept and from the way Georgia classes waste.
The City's own collection site will not take paints, chemicals, or oils, roof shingles, tires, brush, or leaves, and it takes nothing commercial at all. The County's recycling center is stricter still: no tires, no motor oil, no antifreeze, no building materials including home remodeling materials and construction waste, no light bulbs, no mirrors, and nothing commercial.
Hazardous waste, liquids, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of any standard container. So do propane tanks and sealed drums. Keep appliances, electronics, and tires separate and mention them when you book, since each has its own route.
Yard waste is handled apart from trash in Georgia. Yard trimmings may not be mixed into municipal solid waste, and they are barred from the lined landfills that take household waste, so grass, leaves, and prunings go to a composting or yard trimmings site instead. Cherokee County restates that rule in its own ordinance and attaches a fine to breaking it.
If an item has you guessing, check with your account manager before it goes in the container.
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.
Canton is unusual in having two free public drop-off sites inside reach, and in neither case can a rented container use them. It is worth knowing both, because they are genuinely useful for small loads you handle yourself.
The City of Canton Collection Site sits at 2525 Ridge Road, Canton, GA 30114, and the City runs it on 770-720-7674. It is free to anyone living inside the city limits, and it takes old lumber, carpet, metal, cardboard, appliances, water heaters, and household furniture. Its posted hours are Monday 7 a.m. to noon for seniors, closed Tuesday and Wednesday, and Thursday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. with an hour shut at midday. The City's own notice is blunt about vehicles: no dump trucks, no dump trailers, no box trucks, and no commercial dumping.
The Cherokee County Recycling Center is at 470 Blalock Road, Canton, GA 30114, on 770-516-4195, open Tuesday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday morning until noon. It handles recycling, metal, appliances, mattresses, paint, and electronics, and it refuses building materials, construction waste, and any load larger than a pickup bed.
So a container load from Canton leaves town for a permitted site that handles its class of material, and the County will not accept waste generated outside its own boundary at its disposal sites. Your account manager confirms which facility is taking your load, and the charges that come with it, before the truck is scheduled.
Household trash in Canton is a separate matter: the City runs weekly bin collection through a contracted provider, and residents register with that service directly. Your account manager can confirm how that sits alongside a project container.
2525 Ridge Road, Canton, GA 30114
Free to City of Canton residents, open Thursday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Monday mornings for seniors; no commercial loads, dump trucks or trailers.
470 Blalock Road, Canton, GA 30114
Open Tuesday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday to noon; takes recycling, metal and appliances but no building materials or construction waste.
Most Canton orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A couple of days of notice helps, because the material you have decides where the load goes and that affects both price and timing.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
One local note on timing: the City collection site is shut on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and the County center is shut Sunday and Monday, so if you are handling small loads yourself alongside the container, plan around those closures.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Canton, from the downtown blocks and the Etowah River side through Hickory Flat and Bells Ferry out to the Lake Allatoona edge of the city, along with the nearby Cherokee County communities on both sides of Interstate 575. Whether the job is a single bathroom or a new build on a wooded lot, we plan delivery, pickup, and disposal around your dates.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the material, confirm which facility can take it, 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.
Canton rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day period. The type and weight of material matter as well, because clean rubble, mixed construction debris, and household waste go to different facilities. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates when you book.
That turns on the vehicle you have. City residents can use the Canton collection site free for lumber, carpet, and furniture in a car or pickup, which is hard to beat for one small load. Beyond that, the site bars dump trucks and trailers and takes nothing commercial, so a container is the only practical route.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. Bulky furniture runs out of room long before it reaches the weight limit, which makes the small size a sensible pick for clearing one room.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, oils, asbestos, and propane tanks all stay out. Tires need a separate route, and yard trimmings cannot be mixed into household waste under Georgia rules. Keep appliances and electronics apart and mention anything unusual when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. What goes in it still decides the final cost. Concrete, tile, and mortar are dense enough to pass a small container's weight allowance early, so keeping heavy rubble in its own container is usually cheaper than one overweight load.
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 moves your invoice much more than days do. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and the rate for extra tons before delivery.
Lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, doors, windows, carpet, furniture, and general cleanout material are all fine in a Canton container. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted too, and they are cheaper to handle on their own. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
