At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Homewood, Alabama, and the nearby Jefferson County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Homewood's housing stock runs from 1920s Edgewood bungalows to post-war ranches in Hollywood and West Homewood, and the steady flow of whole-house renovations, basement finishes, and tear-down construction keeps containers moving all year.
Your price follows the container size, the weight of the material, the number of days you keep it, and the disposal charge at the receiving site. Below you will find sizing help, Homewood's street rules, the city rule that puts commercial waste squarely in the private market, and what has to stay out of the container.

Size comes first, and Homewood's lots are the thing to think about. Many Edgewood and Hollywood driveways are short and sloped, so the container that fits the drive sometimes matters more than the container that fits the volume.
Weight comes second. A 1920s remodel here typically means plaster, hardwood, brick, and old tile, which are all heavy. Roof tear-offs are heavier still. A dense load belongs in a 10-yard container of its own, with the light material following.
Material separation is the third factor, and Homewood's own code pushes you toward it. Dirt, rock, gravel, sand, cinders, and ashes may not be put into garbage or trash containers in Homewood, so an inert load needs to travel separately. That usually works out cheaper anyway, since clean fill and concrete are handled on better terms than mixed debris.
Last is the haul. Homewood has no landfill of its own, so your load leaves the city for a receiving site in the metro area. Your account manager prices that leg into the quote rather than leaving it to the day.

Think about the drive first, then the volume, then the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes across Jefferson County.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest and the easiest to place on a short Homewood drive. It is also the right choice for brick, plaster, tile, and concrete, which reach the weight limit early.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, a single roof tear-off, or flooring stripped from two or three rooms. It is the usual step up when the 10 is too tight.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most common choice for a Homewood renovation. A basement finish, a kitchen and bath together, or a full house cleanout all fit in one haul.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits an addition, a studs-out remodel, or a builder on a tear-down lot. Framing, sheathing, and drywall fill volume fast.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container and is built for commercial work, light demolition, and long site cleanups generating high volume and lower density debris.
Tell your account manager about the driveway as well as the project, and they will pick the size that actually works on your lot.
Private property is the easy case. A container in your driveway, on a pad, or inside a job site fence needs no Homewood permit, and on these lot sizes that is where almost every container goes.
A container that takes up part of a city street, alley, or sidewalk is a different matter. Homewood has no dumpster-specific street permit, so the rule that applies comes from its construction and excavation provisions. Any construction project in or next to a public way may not obstruct more than half the width of the roadway, street, or alley at any time, measured curb to curb, and where an obstruction is necessary you may obstruct only the portion the city official considers necessary and must hold a permit for it. The city official here is the assistant director of public works, and the request has to be reviewed and approved before the permit issues.
In practice that means two things. A narrow Homewood street can rarely take a container and still leave half the roadway clear, and anything in the street has to be agreed with Public Works ahead of delivery rather than after. Where the permit route also involves work that cuts the surface, the city layers on licensed contractor, restoration, and surety bond requirements, which is another reason a private placement is the simpler plan.
Call the City of Homewood Public Works Department on 205-332-6819 for the street question, or City Hall at 2850 19th Street South on 205-332-6100, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Your account manager will tell you whether your spot counts as private ground and will help you reach the right person if it does not.
Most renovation and cleanout debris is accepted. The limits here come from the city's container rules and from the usual banned list.
Homewood bars ashes, cinders, gravel, rock, sand, earth, and minerals from both garbage containers and trash containers. That makes an inert load a separate job rather than something you fold into a mixed container, and it is the single most useful local rule to know before you order.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos cannot go in a standard container anywhere, and that holds in Homewood too.
Homewood also keeps construction debris out of its own curbside service. The City's claw truck collects qualifying household piles, but contractors have to remove all the construction and landscaping debris they create, and debris must be placed at the curb and never in the street. A container is the route for a project, and the City says so on its own service page.
Tires and large appliances need separate handling and are usually billed per item. Tell your account manager when you book and we will route them properly.
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.
The nearest publicly run disposal site is the Eastern Area Landfill at 2787 Alton Dr. in Birmingham, operated by the City of Birmingham Department of Public Works, which lists landfill operations among its own services. It is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon, and is closed on Sunday. The department can be reached on 205-254-6316.
Be aware that it is Birmingham's own landfill rather than Homewood's. Your account manager settles access and charges for a load coming out of Homewood with the site before your delivery is scheduled, rather than leaving a driver to work it out at the gate.
Two related points are worth knowing for the wider metro. Birmingham states that it will not haul building material or trees cut down by private contractors, so the household route is closed to a renovation on either side of the city line. And because Homewood's own code bars dirt, rock, gravel, and sand from garbage and trash containers, a clean inert load is both the compliant and the cheaper way to move that material.
Your account manager confirms the receiving site for your material and the charge that applies to it before the container arrives.
2787 Alton Dr., Birmingham, AL
Run by the City of Birmingham Department of Public Works, open Monday to Friday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to noon.
Most Homewood rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If the container cannot sit on private ground, allow extra time, because the obstruction permit has to be reviewed and approved first.
Five things that keep a Homewood delivery on track:
One timing rule is specific to Homewood. A collection vehicle cannot operate between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. within a thousand feet of any single-family lot, and nor can a compacting mechanism, so an overnight swap is not available in a city made up almost entirely of single-family streets. Your account manager plans the pickup inside those hours.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery throughout Homewood and the surrounding Jefferson County communities, from Edgewood, Hollywood, and West Homewood out to Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, and the Oxmoor corridor, and north into Birmingham. Whether the job is a bungalow renovation off Broadway or a commercial fit-out near Lakeshore Drive, we plan the drop, any swap, and the pickup around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, confirm access at the receiving site, 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.
A 10-yard container in Homewood runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard container runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. The weight of your material and the receiving site's charge move the final number. Your Homewood account manager sets out the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For a project, renting wins easily. Homewood's curbside service does not take contractor debris, so a renovation has to be hauled privately, and the nearest public landfill keeps short weekday hours. One container covers the job in a single haul instead of a week of trips.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a bed frame, a dresser, and several boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than dense, so the space runs out well before the weight allowance does.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos cannot go in a Homewood container. The city also bars ashes, cinders, gravel, rock, sand, and earth from garbage and trash containers, so inert material needs its own load. Tires and appliances need their own handling in Homewood.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499, and it is also the easiest to fit on a short Homewood driveway. It stays the cheapest only when the material suits it, because plaster, brick, and concrete can pass the weight limit in a small container and add overage.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the price is built around the job and the disposal rather than the number of days. Tonnage is the variable that moves a Homewood bill. Have your Homewood account manager confirm the included tonnage and the cost of each extra ton before delivery.
Wood, plaster, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout debris are all fine in a Homewood container. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted in their own load and are often cheaper that way. Anything unusual out of a Homewood renovation is worth a call before it is loaded.
