At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Madison, Alabama, and the surrounding Madison and Limestone County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Madison is one of the fastest-growing cities in the state, and the work shows it: new construction west of County Line Road, additions and kitchen remodels in the older neighborhoods near Madison Station, and plenty of garage and basement cleanouts in between.
Your price depends on the container size, the weight of the debris, how long you keep it, and what the regional disposal system charges. Below you will find our price ranges, Madison's rules about where a container may sit, and what has to stay out of it.

Four things decide what a Madison rental costs.
Container size is the first and biggest. Picking one size up usually costs less than paying for a second trip, and Madison's newer lots generally have room for a 20-yard or 30-yard container on the driveway.
Debris weight is the second. Shingles, brick, tile, and concrete load heavy and burn through a weight allowance quickly. Drywall, cabinets, carpet, and household clutter fill space without doing much to the scale.
Disposal is the third. Madison's waste goes into a regional system run by a public authority rather than a private landfill, and the authority sets the disposal cost, not the hauler.
Placement is the fourth, and it is the one that catches people here. Madison does not allow a container to sit in the street, so the driveway or the job site itself has to work. Your account manager will go through all four with you.

Think about volume and weight together, then leave yourself a little margin.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest option. It fits a bathroom remodel, a single-room cleanout, or a round of yard work. It is also the right call for concrete, brick, and tile, since heavy material reaches the weight limit long before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers mid-size jobs. A garage cleanout, a flooring tear-out, or a small roof job all fit comfortably.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Madison homeowners end up renting. A whole-house cleanout or a remodel spanning a few rooms fits without feeling tight.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for additions, new builds, and demolition that produces a lot of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, meant for commercial construction, large demolition, and industrial cleanouts.
Driveway space is usually the deciding factor in Madison, so tell your Prime Dumpster account manager how much room you have and they will size it to fit.
On private property, including your own driveway or the lot you are building on, Madison does not ask for a container placement permit. That is also where your container needs to stay.
Madison does not offer a permit to park a container in the street. City code makes it unlawful to encumber a street or sidewalk with any article or obstruction, and the only exception written into that rule is a storefront merchandise display. The city's separate rule for portable containers says the same thing a different way: nothing of that kind may be placed on a public right-of-way or other public property.
There is a related rule worth knowing if your job involves a storage unit as well as a dumpster. A storage container tied to an active building permit does not need its own permit, but it has to come off the property within five days of the work finishing. Storage units without a building permit are limited to short permit terms and one per lot.
If your only option is the street or a lane, the city handles road and lane closures separately, and that application has to be in at least three business days ahead. Call the Engineering Department at 256-772-8431, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., or the Building Department at 256-772-5644. You can start from the city's right-of-way permit page. Your account manager can also help you work out which office to call and plan a placement that avoids the problem altogether.
Standard construction and cleanout debris is welcome. The limits come from what the regional disposal system will accept and what the city has ruled out.
Hazardous material stays out, always. Madison's own published list of what will not be collected names paint, oil, batteries, gas and gas tanks, and anything else treated as hazardous, and the city sends all of it to the regional authority's hazardous waste site instead. Fuel, solvents, pool chemicals, pesticides, and liquids in any form cannot go in a container.
Electronics need separate handling. Televisions, computers, and microwaves are all on the city's not-collected list, and they belong at the hazardous waste drive-through rather than in a container.
Tires, asbestos, and medical waste are also out. Appliances and large metal items can usually be managed, but mention them when you book so the right container and the right destination get lined up.
The city's own curbside service does not take construction materials at all, which is the practical reason a roll-off container is the normal answer for a remodel in Madison. If you are unsure about an item, check with 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.
Madison sits inside a regional disposal system run by the Solid Waste Disposal Authority, a public non-profit corporation that handles waste for Huntsville, Madison, and Madison County together. The authority runs four parts: a waste-to-energy plant, a landfill, recycling, and waste reduction programs. Because it is a public body rather than a private landfill, the disposal cost on your invoice is set by the authority.
The authority's office is at 5251 Triana Blvd SW, Huntsville, AL 35805, about ten miles east of Madison, and it is open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can read how the system is put together on the authority's overview page.
For the items a container cannot take, the same authority runs a Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 1055 A Cleaner Way, Huntsville, AL 35805. It is a drive-through site open weekdays 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine, and it takes televisions, laptops, cellphones, paint, solvents, pool chemicals, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, and expired medicines.
Your account manager will confirm which part of the system your load is routed to before the truck is sent, so the invoice pricing is clear and upfront.

Most Madison rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. In a busy building season, a couple of days of notice gets you a better delivery window.
These five steps keep delivery day easy:
One more timing note. The regional authority's offices run weekdays only, so a container filled on a Saturday will usually be emptied the following week.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery throughout Madison, from the historic streets around Madison Station and Main Street out to Hughes Road, County Line Road, Highway 72, and the newer subdivisions on the city's west side in Limestone County. We also cover the neighboring Madison County communities just outside the city limits, so a builder working several addresses in a week keeps one point of contact.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will match the container to the job, plan a placement that works on your property, and quote you 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.
Madison 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 rental. Debris weight and the regional authority's disposal cost also factor in. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage and the overage rate before your delivery date.
A rental is usually cheaper once a job runs past a load or two. Madison's curbside service will not take construction materials at all, so hauling it yourself means repeated trips into Huntsville with a truck or trailer. One container clears the whole job in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. With furniture, you run out of space well before you run out of weight allowance.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, oil, fuel, solvents, pool chemicals, and asbestos. Televisions, computers, and microwaves have to go to the regional hazardous waste site instead. Tires need separate handling, and appliances should be mentioned when you book so they are routed correctly.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. The smallest container is not always the cheapest outcome, though. Brick, tile, and concrete can push it past its weight limit and add overage charges, so keeping heavy material in its own load often works out cheaper.
Three days generally costs the same as five, because the price is built around delivery, pickup, and disposal rather than calendar days. Weight moves your bill far more than time does. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs.
Almost all building and household debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture, and general cleanout junk. Clean brick, block, concrete, and asphalt are accepted too, and separating them often lowers the disposal cost. Ask your account manager about anything unusual first.
