At Prime Dumpster, we arrange delivery of roll-off containers from 10 to 40 yards across Smyrna, Georgia and the south end of Cobb County. The ranch houses off Atlanta Road and Concord Road are deep into second and third renovations, the townhome construction around the Village Green keeps producing framing waste and drywall, and the older brick homes near the Chattahoochee turn up the kind of full-house cleanout that needs a 20-yard container in the driveway.
Smyrna is worth understanding before you book, because its rules sit in a surprising place. The chapter headed solid waste never mentions a roll-off container. The chapter that does is the building code. And the collection permit the city runs is written around two words that do not describe a construction load at all.

| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |

Size sets the base number, and the weight of what goes in moves it further than anything else. Brick, mortar, concrete and ceramic tile all reach a container's weight allowance while the walls still look half empty, so a Smyrna patio or chimney job frequently belongs in a 10-yard rather than a 20.
The second factor in Smyrna is what the city will not take. Its own collection expressly excludes heavy accumulations such as construction or remodeling waste, brick, broken concrete, dirt, sand and gravel, and makes that material the owner's cost to dispose of. The city also bars inert building material from disposal in its stream and sends it to a recycling facility or an approved landfill instead. That is why a renovation here needs a container rather than a few extra curbside bags, and it is a useful thing to show a client who thinks the city will take the pile.
Rental length matters least of the three. The container carries one job price, so a short rental and a five-day rental usually land on the same figure, and extra days are charged at the end. Agree the collection date when you agree the delivery date and the number stops moving.

Let the material pick the size. The five sizes run from a single bathroom to a commercial tear-down.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the heavy-material container. A clean load of brick, block, concrete or tile reaches its weight ceiling long before it fills, and it fits one bay of a typical Smyrna driveway without blocking the garage.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage clear-down, one bathroom, a small roof or a deck removal.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size Smyrna homes book most often. Whole-house cleanouts, flooring removal, kitchen work and multi-room renovations all fit, and the walls are low enough to load by hand.
The 30-Yard Dumpster takes new construction, a large addition or a substantial demolition. With framing lumber, drywall and roof decking in the mix, the walls fill before the scale does.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the commercial size, for demolition, industrial clearing and large builds. It is the largest container placed and it wants a straight run in, a level drop point and clear height.
A container on private property, in a driveway or inside a job-site boundary, needs no placement permit from Smyrna. That covers nearly every job we do here, and there is no day limit on a container in a Smyrna driveway.
What Smyrna does run is a written permit for private collection, granted by the mayor and council, and its wording is the interesting part. The permit applies to anyone who empties garbage or trash receptacles, or carries garbage or trash on the city's streets. Both of those words are defined in the code, and both definitions are narrow. Garbage is food waste and kitchen material. Trash is defined as boxes, broken toys and old garbage cans, and that is the whole of it. Construction and demolition debris is not inside either definition, and the same chapter deals with it separately by making it the property owner's cost.
On the published text, then, a construction container is outside the collection permit. We say that as the reading of the words rather than as a promise, because the mayor and council hold that permit power and only they can say how they apply it. If a job of yours turns on the point, your account manager raises it with the city before delivery rather than after.
The rule that clearly does reach a roll-off container is in the building code chapter, which is not where most people look. Smyrna has written a definition of a dumpster into its property maintenance standards covering any container used to store, collect or remove construction debris or demolition debris, and added a section headed roll-off containers and dumpsters. That section requires the container to be emptied routinely, kept free of graffiti and vandalism, and not filled beyond its intended capacity. Loading above the rim is a code issue in Smyrna, not just a safety preference.
One point matters on a commercial lot. Smyrna requires new dumpsters installed at residential and commercial properties to be screened on three sides by a fence or decorative masonry wall one foot taller than the container, with an operable gate for collection. Read naturally, that is a standard for a permanent container station rather than for a container delivered to a live job site, and the word installed is doing the work. There is no express exception for a temporary roll-off on the face of the text, so on a commercial property close to housing it is worth a call to the city before placement, and your account manager will make it.
Two more rules fall on the customer rather than on us. It is an offense in Smyrna to put waste into a private or commercial container at a different location from where the waste was generated, unless the city approved that container for that location, and the code presumes waste carrying a name belonged to the person named. So borrowing a neighbor's container is a real risk here, not a courtesy. And any vehicle carrying a load has to have it secured against dropping or shifting onto the road.
Everyday construction, demolition and household debris is fine in a Smyrna container. Georgia runs no statewide banned-materials table, so the limits come from the city's own list and from the receiving site.
Smyrna prohibits a specific set of items from disposal in the city: hazardous waste, anything containing refrigerant, pressure cylinders, oxygen tanks, paint, rubber tires, yard waste, inert building material, motor oil and cooking oil. Those go to a recycling facility or an approved landfill instead, and the inert building material entry is the one that catches renovation jobs out.
Asbestos will not be carried in a standard container. Smyrna's mid-century housing stock turns up pipe lagging, resilient floor tile and textured ceiling coating, and a suspect material needs testing before anything is loaded.
Liquids of any kind stay out, along with fuels, solvents, wet paint and pesticides. Water is heavy, and rain standing in the bottom of a container costs tonnage for nothing.
Appliances, mattresses and electronics each carry their own handling. Declare them when you book and the cost is known before the truck arrives rather than after it weighs 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.
Smyrna is a city where we would rather be straight about what we can and cannot confirm.
The city's code points construction and demolition material at an appropriate recycling facility or an approved landfill without naming one, and the city's own collection does not take it. Cobb County's website did not serve us on any route we are allowed to use, so we name no county facility, address, hours or phone number here. We publish a facility only when the authority that runs it has confirmed the details, and we never list a site operated by a competing hauler.
What that means in practice is simple and it does not cost you anything. Your account manager confirms the destination for your specific load at the time of booking, tells you what it charges by weight, and tells you whether separating part of the load changes the number. Around metro Atlanta the answer is often yes: clean concrete, clean brick and clean untreated wood all have recovery routes that price differently from mixed debris, and a Smyrna chimney or patio job is exactly the kind of load where splitting it pays.
Smyrna also regulates waste transfer facilities directly, through a franchise application that asks an operator for its operating plan, the composition and weight of what it will receive, its loading rate, its storage areas and its weigh stations. That is a facility scheme, separate from the collection permit, and it is a good indication of how closely this city looks at where material ends up.
Most Smyrna containers can be scheduled within one to two business days. A private-property placement has no city permission step, so the lead time is about the truck and the site rather than about paperwork.
What makes the booking go quickly:
A Georgia weather note. Keep a part-filled container covered between shifts in summer. An afternoon storm turns drywall and insulation into dead weight overnight, and you pay for that water by the ton.

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.
Reckon on $399 to $499 for a 10-yard and $699 to $899 for a 40-yard over the standard five days. Disposal is charged by weight on top of that. Your account manager confirms the tonnage allowance, the overage rate and the receiving site for your load when you book.
Past one pickup load, renting wins in Smyrna. The city will not take construction or remodeling waste at the curb, so a self-haul means repeated trips and a minimum charge each time, plus a load that has to be secured against shifting on every run.
Yes, with room left over. A three-seat couch runs to roughly a fifth of a 10-yard, and a bed frame, a dresser and boxed goods still fit alongside it. Bulky household items run out of room long before they approach a weight limit.
Smyrna bars hazardous waste, refrigerant appliances, pressure cylinders, oxygen tanks, paint, tires, yard waste, inert building material, motor oil and cooking oil from disposal in the city. Liquids, fuels and solvents stay out of any container, and asbestos-bearing material cannot be loaded at all.
The 10-yard carries the lowest base price at $399 to $499, and on a Smyrna job with brick or concrete in it the 10-yard is frequently the right container anyway. Keeping dense material in its own load usually beats one mixed container that runs past its weight allowance.
Three days generally costs the same as five, because the price follows the job rather than the calendar. Weight is what moves a Smyrna bill, along with whether part of the load can be separated. Have your account manager confirm the included tonnage and the overage rate before delivery.
Lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, doors, windows, furniture, cardboard, brick, block and clean concrete can all be loaded in Georgia. Clean concrete and clean untreated wood are worth keeping as their own loads around metro Atlanta. Give your account manager anything you are unsure about first.
