These are the main things that affect a dumpster price in Huntsville.
Size is the first. A bigger container costs more, but one that's too small can mean a second haul, and that usually costs more than choosing the next size up.
Weight is the second. Shingles, tile, brick, and concrete get heavy fast, and once a load passes its included tonnage, overage charges apply.
Where the load goes counts too. Huntsville's debris goes to the Leeman Ferry Road Landfill, run by the Solid Waste Disposal Authority of the City of Huntsville. The Authority sets the disposal fees there, and they're built into your quote.
The City's own trash service has limits worth knowing. The City won't collect bricks, cinder blocks, shingles, concrete, or any debris from a contractor's work. Large yard waste piles cost extra, too: the City's curbside page lists $55 for a pile over 10 cubic yards and $55 more for each added 5 cubic yards. For a remodel or a big cleanout, a dumpster is usually the better route.

Pick a size based on how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for a bathroom remodel, a single-room cleanout, or a load of brick and broken concrete. Heavy material like that hits the weight limit before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a garage cleanout, new flooring, or a small roof tear-off. It gives you more room without much added cost.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a popular choice in Huntsville for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that span several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster covers large renovations, additions, new home builds, and demolition with mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. Builders use it for commercial projects, big demolition jobs, and large property cleanouts.
Talk through the project with your account manager, and they'll help you pick the right size.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or a job site, you usually don't need a City permit in Huntsville. If it sits in a street, alley, or sidewalk, it's in the public right-of-way, and that needs City approval first.
For right-of-way placement, the City uses its Street Cut Permit, issued by the Engineering Department. The permit covers blocking or limiting passage over part of the right-of-way, which is what a container at the curb does. Huntsville's code also has rules on blocking streets and sidewalks and on removing obstructions.
The Engineering Department is on the 4th floor of City Hall, 305 Fountain Circle. The City's Engineering Department page lists hours of Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The City doesn't post a fee or review time for this permit, so call Engineering at 256-427-5300 before you set a delivery date.
If you're not sure whether your spot is public right-of-way, your account manager can help you find the right City contact.
Most household and building debris can go in your container. Alabama's rules and the landfill that takes your load set the limits.
Tires need their own route in Alabama. The Alabama Department of Environmental Management requires a state permit for anyone who hauls or processes scrap tires, and only certain landfills are approved to take them. Keep tires out of a mixed load and mention them when you book.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. The City's own trash service turns away paint, chemicals, solvents, and medical waste for the same reason.
Appliances, mattresses, and electronics may be handled differently by the landfill, so tell us about them up front. If an item that isn't allowed shows up in a load, the landfill can charge extra to pull it out.
When you're not sure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in.
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.
Debris from Huntsville goes to the Leeman Ferry Road Landfill, run by the Solid Waste Disposal Authority of the City of Huntsville. The state's permitted landfill list shows the site can take up to 2,500 tons a day from Huntsville and Madison and Limestone counties.
The Authority runs more than a landfill. The City's Authority page describes a system with four parts: waste-to-energy, landfill, recycling, and waste reduction. That means some of Huntsville's trash is burned to make energy instead of being buried.
The Authority's office is at 5251 Triana Blvd SW, Huntsville, AL 35805, open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain the disposal fees before delivery.

Runs the Leeman Ferry Road Landfill; office open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Most Huntsville rentals can be booked within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days ahead leaves time to handle a street permit and get the drop spot ready.
Here are a few tips for a smooth delivery:
Keep weekday hours in mind for anything you need to ask the City or the Authority. Both offices are open Monday through Friday, so settle permit or disposal questions before the weekend.

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.
Dumpster rentals in Huntsville range from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. Your debris type and the landfill's disposal fees shape the final price. Your account manager will confirm included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For a few bags, a trip to the landfill works. For a remodel or a big cleanout, a dumpster usually costs less. Every self-haul trip means a disposal fee, gas, and hours of loading, and the City won't pick up bricks, shingles, or contractor debris at the curb.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving room for a dresser, a bed frame, and several boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll run out of space long before the weight limit is a problem.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your Huntsville dumpster. Tires in Alabama have to go to a landfill approved for them, so set them aside. Mention appliances, mattresses, or electronics when you book so they're handled the right way.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Your final bill still depends on weight. A small container packed with brick, tile, or shingles can go over its tonnage and add overage fees. Keeping heavy debris in its own load helps you save.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, since we price by the job and not by the day. The weight you load moves the bill more than the time you keep it. Ask your account manager about the included tonnage.
Most household and construction debris is fine, including lumber, drywall, flooring, cabinets, roofing, furniture, and general cleanout junk. Brick and concrete can go in too, and keeping them in their own load often lowers the cost. Your account manager can check any item you're unsure about.
