At Prime Dumpster, we arrange delivery of roll-off containers from 10 to 40 yards across South Fulton, Georgia and the southwest quadrant of Fulton County. The city stretches from the Fulton Industrial corridor down to the Fayette County line, and that spread is the story: industrial clearouts along Fulton Industrial Boulevard, new residential construction out toward Cedar Grove and Campbellton, and renovation work in the older Ben Hill and Red Oak neighborhoods.
South Fulton also has the most closely drafted waste ordinance of any city we serve in Georgia, and we would rather explain it than pretend it is simple. The city claims the collection service inside its limits, and in the same chapter it tells construction and demolition contractors to supply their own containers. Both things are in the code, and which one governs your job is worth one phone call before you book.

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

Size sets the base figure and the weight of the load moves it most. Brick, mortar, broken concrete and ceramic tile all reach a container's weight allowance while the walls still look half empty, so a South Fulton slab or driveway job often belongs in a 10-yard rather than a 20.
The second factor is the city's rule about covering. South Fulton wants containers on a construction site to have lids so they can be covered before rain, and wants collection scheduled so a container never fills past the point where the lid shuts. In practice that means a container sized to the job and a swap booked. It cuts the water weight you pay for, and it changes the size answer on a long job.
Rental length is the smallest lever. A container carries one job price, so three days and five days usually land together, and extra days are charged at the end.

Let the material pick the size, and let the city's covering rule set the margin on top of it.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is sized for heavy material. A clean load of brick, block, broken concrete or tile reaches its weight ceiling long before it fills, and it fits one driveway bay.
The 15-Yard Dumpster deals with a garage clear-down, one bathroom, a light roof or a porch takedown.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size South Fulton homes book most often. A whole-house cleanout, a flooring strip, kitchen work or a multi-room renovation all fit inside it, and the walls are low enough to load by hand.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits new construction, a large addition or a substantial demolition, the jobs where framing, drywall and roof decking fill space ahead of weight. On a demolition the city expects extra containers and more frequent collection, so this is often the size to start from.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the commercial container, for demolition, industrial clearing and the large jobs along Fulton Industrial Boulevard. It is the largest offered and it wants a straight approach, a level drop point and clear height.
A container on private property, in a driveway or inside a job-site boundary, needs no separate placement permit in South Fulton. A container on city property is different: the code requires a lease agreement with the city first, which is unusual wording and a real step rather than a form. Building material in particular may not go onto public property at all unless the building permit designates the spot.
Now the part that matters, and we are going to be straight about it rather than tidy.
South Fulton's waste ordinance opens with an exclusivity clause. The city says it is exclusively responsible for the collection and disposal of all solid waste and bulk waste within the city limits, and makes it mandatory for occupants of premises in the city to use the city's service. On its face that is a wide claim.
In the same chapter, three things pull the other way, and all three point at a private container on a construction site:
The city's commercial permit is written over commercial solid waste, and the code defines that term to exclude construction and demolition waste by name. So there is no permit class for a construction container company to apply for.
Our reading is that a construction container on private ground sits outside the city's own service and outside that permit, and that the code expects contractors to arrange one. But the exclusivity words are wide, and only the city can say how it applies them to construction debris. So we make that call, to the Solid Waste Division or the city manager, before a container goes onto a South Fulton site.
Two points hit a business customer directly. The city tells the owner of a commercial premises to use an approved service provider, and keeps that list at the city clerk's office. And no business license is issued or renewed until the owner names the provider that collects for the business, unless the city manager grants an exception. So settle the ongoing provider question early.
On a site, the city also wants the waste area placed away from upland runoff and away from any watercourse, handling guidance posted, containers checked for leaks and damage, and extra containers during demolition. Those duties run on the owner and developer through the stormwater ordinances.
Ordinary construction, demolition and household debris is fine in a South Fulton container. Georgia runs no statewide banned-materials table, so the limits come from the city's rules and the receiving site.
Hazardous material stays out of every container, and the city puts it plainly: no acids, explosive material, flammable liquids, or dangerous or corrosive material of any kind may go to a service provider. Fuels, solvents, wet paint, pesticides, pool chemicals and pressurized cylinders are all out.
Asbestos needs care here, because the city's own definition of construction and demolition waste includes material containing asbestos. That does not make it loadable: asbestos-bearing material cannot ride in a standard container and needs testing and licensed handling. South Fulton's older Ben Hill and Red Oak housing is exactly where pipe lagging, resilient floor tile and textured ceiling coating turn up.
Liquids are out beyond small amounts trapped in containers, which is the city's own wording. Keep the lid closed and the rainwater out, which the covering rule requires anyway.
Appliances with refrigerant, tires, mattresses and electronics each carry their own handling. Declare them when you book and the cost is agreed before the truck arrives.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
South Fulton requires construction site waste to go to authorized disposal areas, and makes a permitted hauler show the city proof of disposal at state-approved sites, naming each one. That is a stricter paper trail than most metro Atlanta cities keep, and it helps a customer who later has to show where a demolition load went.
The city runs one facility we can point you at. The Merk Miles Citizens Convenience Center on Merk Road, next to Wolf Creek Amphitheater, takes recycling, bulky items and other materials. The city calls it a place for residents and says it is open to the public. It runs Tuesday to Friday and Saturday mornings, last customer fifteen minutes before closing. It is a self-haul site for the awkward last items, not a destination for a rented container, and the city publishes no phone number for it.
Beyond that we are short on purpose. Fulton County publishes no solid waste function on its own site, and the transfer stations that take construction loads here are run by private hauling companies. We do not list a competitor's site, and we name no facility the authority behind it has not confirmed. Your account manager settles the destination for your load when you book, what it charges by weight, and whether separating part of it helps. For clean concrete, brick and untreated wood it often does.
3225 Merk Road, South Fulton, GA
Run by the City of South Fulton Public Works Solid Waste Division. Open Tuesday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., closed Sunday and Monday, last customer accepted 15 minutes before closing. A self-haul convenience center for recycling and bulky items, not a destination for a rented container. The city publishes no telephone number for the site.
Most South Fulton containers can be scheduled within one to two business days for a private-property placement. The thing that adds time here is the conversation with the city, and on a commercial or demolition job we would rather have it before the delivery date than after.
What makes the booking go quickly:
A Georgia weather note. An afternoon storm puts real water weight into drywall and insulation overnight, which is exactly why the city wrote the covering rule. Cover a part-filled container between shifts and you pay for debris instead of rainwater.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves South Fulton across its whole spread, from the Fulton Industrial corridor through Ben Hill, Red Oak, Campbellton, Cedar Grove and Sandtown down to the county line. The rules here are the city's rather than the county's, so give us the street address.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, settle the city question before delivery, and give you a firm number 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.
The standard five-day period runs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard and $699 to $899 for a 40-yard. On top of that, disposal is billed by the ton. At booking, your account manager settles the tonnage allowance, the overage rate and where the load is going.
Past one pickup load, renting wins in South Fulton. The city's convenience center is a self-haul site for household and bulky items, and the code makes building material the property owner's cost to remove. Repeated trips and minimum charges beat the container price quickly.
Yes, with space left over. One three-seat couch is roughly a fifth of a 10-yard, and a bed frame, a dresser and boxed goods still fit around it. Household bulk takes up the room long before the tonnage matters, which makes a 10-yard right for a furniture clear-down.
Acids, explosive material, flammable liquids and corrosive material are barred by the city's own wording, along with fuels, solvents, wet paint and pressurized cylinders. Liquids beyond small trapped amounts stay out. Asbestos-bearing material cannot go in a standard container and needs licensed handling.
The 10-yard carries the lowest base price at $399 to $499, and on a South Fulton job with brick or broken concrete in it the 10-yard is often the right container anyway. Keeping dense material in its own load usually beats one mixed container that runs past its weight allowance.
Three days and five days cost much the same in South Fulton, because the price answers to the job. Weight is what moves a South Fulton bill, along with whether the load stays dry. Have your account manager confirm the tonnage allowance and the swap schedule before delivery.
Lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, doors, windows, furniture, cardboard, brick, block and clean concrete are acceptable loads. Clean concrete and clean untreated wood are worth keeping as separate loads in this market. Run anything borderline past your account manager before you load it.
