At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Florence, Alabama, and the rest of Lauderdale County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Work in the Shoals keeps the containers busy: historic home restoration in the Wood Avenue district, roof and siding jobs across the older streets near the University of North Alabama, riverfront and commercial construction, and the steady run of rental turnovers that comes with a college town.
What you pay turns on the size you order, the weight and kind of debris going in, the length of the rental, and the charges at the facility that receives your load. The sections below cover the price ranges, the City rules that apply to debris in Florence, what the city landfill will and will not take, and how soon delivery can be arranged.

Florence has one unusual feature that shapes almost every quote we write here, so start with it.
The city landfill on County Road 14 takes construction and demolition material only. It stopped taking household garbage, which means a Florence remodel load and a Florence house cleanout can end up at two different places with two different charge structures. Tell your account manager which you have.
Then there is what the landfill counts as construction and demolition material. Its own definition covers masonry, sheet rock, roofing waste, insulation, scrap metal, and wood products, and it leaves out uncontaminated concrete, soil, brick, and asphalt paving. A clean load of broken concrete or brick is therefore a separate conversation from a mixed renovation load, and worth keeping separate.
Weight drives the rest. Shingles, mortar, and tile are heavy for their volume, so a small container filled with them will reach its tonnage long before it looks full. Sorting a demolition pile into a heavy container and a bulky container often beats one large mixed load.
Size and length matter too, though less than people expect. Because containers are priced for the job rather than by the day, a longer rental usually costs the same as a short one. The City charges residents and businesses a fee if it has to collect demolition waste itself, so a container on site is the cheaper route from the start.

Pick the size by volume first, then sanity-check it against weight. Prime Dumpster stocks five sizes across the Shoals.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the heavy-material option. Concrete, brick, mortar, and dirt belong here, because a small container keeps you inside the weight allowance that a dense load eats through quickly.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage clear-down, one bathroom, or a small roof tear-off on a bungalow. It gives you more room to swing without paying for capacity you will not fill.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice in Florence for a full house cleanout, a kitchen project, or pulling flooring from several rooms at once.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is sized for a gut renovation or an addition. On the older Florence homes, lath and plaster come out in volume, and this is the size that keeps a crew working.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is for commercial interior demolition, industrial cleanouts, and large site work where volume rather than weight is the constraint.
Describe the job to your account manager and they will pick the size with you.
On your own driveway, parking lot, or job site in Florence, you generally need no City permit. The Florence code has no container permit in it, and its street rules deal with opening, repairing, or modifying a street rather than with something parked on one.
Occupying any part of a street, alley, or curb is different. That work needs an application to and approval by the city engineer, so if the only workable spot is in the roadway, get it cleared before delivery day.
The City issues permit forms from 110 W College St., Florence, AL 35630, and the number for that office is 256-760-6350. The Building Department can be reached at 256-760-6336.
One Florence rule catches commercial customers out. If you are building or rebuilding a commercial parking area where a container will sit, the City prescribes how that pad must be constructed, including the surface and base course. Your account manager can flag that early and point you to the right City contact.
Ordinary construction and household debris is fine. The limits come from Alabama's facility rules and from what the Florence landfill itself will accept.
In Alabama, the state environmental agency regulates disposal facilities, while the Alabama Department of Public Health oversees household waste collection. Neither reaches a construction container, so the real limits are at the gate.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos cannot go in a container. The City's own rules also bar hazardous and medical waste and any other dangerous substance from a city cart or dumpster container, and asbestos is specifically outside what the landfill counts as acceptable insulation.
Household garbage is the surprise. Because the city landfill no longer accepts municipal solid waste, a mixed load with kitchen trash in it can create a problem that a pure construction load would not. Keep the two apart.
Tires need their own handling, and large appliances should be set aside and mentioned when you order. Anything you are unsure about, raise with your account manager before it goes in the container.

Construction and demolition loads from Florence go to the City of Florence Landfill at 29485 County Road 14, Florence, AL 35633. It is open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and it is closed on Saturday. The landfill office number is 256-718-5199 and the Solid Waste Department is on 256-760-6495.
The City is direct about the limits. Its landfill page states that the site accepts construction and demolition waste only and no longer takes municipal solid waste or garbage, and that the City does not collect construction debris at all, leaving disposal to the contractor or owner. Loads from inside the city limits need proof of residency.
For Saturday work there is a public alternative. Lauderdale County Solid Waste sits at 5700 Highway 157 in Florence and can be reached on 256-760-5874. The City points to it as the weekend option when its own landfill is closed.
Rates at the city landfill are set by the City and change from time to time, so your account manager confirms the current charge and the destination before your container is delivered.

Construction and demolition waste only. Monday to Thursday 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Friday to 5 p.m., closed Saturday.

The City points to this county site as the Saturday option when its own landfill is closed.
Most Florence rentals are scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A couple of days of lead time gives you a better choice of slots.
These five habits make a Florence delivery go smoothly:
Hours are worth planning around. With the landfill closing at 3:30 p.m. four days a week, an afternoon pickup request often becomes a next-morning haul.

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.
In Florence a 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899 on a five-day rental. The material matters as much as the size, because the city landfill takes construction and demolition waste only and prices by weight. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates at booking.
Usually the container. Hauling a renovation yourself means repeated runs out to County Road 14 inside weekday hours, with the landfill shut on Saturday, and you pay at the gate each time. One container covers the job, and the City charges extra if it has to collect demolition waste for you.
It will. A standard three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves space for a bed frame, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so with a cleanout you normally fill the container before you reach the weight limit.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos all stay out. Tires and large appliances need separate handling and should be mentioned when you order. In Florence, household garbage is also worth keeping out of a construction load, since the city landfill no longer accepts it.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. The cheapest finish is a different question. Fill a small container with Shoals clay, concrete, or wet plaster and the weight allowance goes first. Giving heavy material its own container is usually the cheaper plan overall.
Three days normally costs what five days costs, because we price the job rather than the calendar. The weight of what you load moves your bill much more than the number of days. Ask your account manager how much tonnage is included and what each additional ton costs before delivery.
Wood, sheet rock, roofing waste, insulation, scrap metal, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and cardboard are all acceptable in a Florence container. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt paving are accepted as well, but they sit outside the city landfill's construction class, so keep them in their own load.
