At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Tucker, Georgia, and the surrounding DeKalb County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Mid-century ranch homes getting new kitchens, infill construction near the Main Street district, and tenant turnovers around the Northlake business area all keep roll-off containers busy for homeowners and contractors here.
Four things set your price: the size you pick, the weight of what you load, how long you keep the container, and what the county charges at the scale. Below you'll find our price ranges, the rules for a container on a city street, what the landfill takes, and how soon we can get one to you.

A handful of local details move the number up or down in Tucker, and the scale at the county landfill is the biggest one.
Start with size. A larger container costs more up front, yet the right size saves you money, because a second haul or an overage charge costs more than the step up would have.
Then there's weight. DeKalb County bills remodel debris by the ton. Its 2026 fee schedule sets construction and demolition material at $99.80 per ton, with a minimum processing charge of $14.70 on any load. Shingles, tile, and brick reach that tonnage fast, so tell us what's going in.
Distance matters too. Tucker sits on the north side of DeKalb County, and the county's disposal site is down in Ellenwood, near the south county line. That drive is part of every haul.
Local rules round it out. DeKalb County handles trash service for Tucker under an agreement with the City, and private firms that collect and haul waste here have to be licensed, bonded, and marked with a county decal. Your account manager will confirm how that applies to your address before anything is scheduled, which matters most on commercial sites.

Pick your size by volume first, then check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards, and most Tucker jobs land in the middle of that spread.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the shortest container we carry. It suits a single bathroom, a storage room cleanout, or a patio tear-up. Dense loads like brick and concrete belong here as well, since they hit the weight limit while there's still open space on top.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a two-car garage cleanout, a kitchen gut, or one layer of shingles off a modest roof. It adds room over the 10-yard without a big jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the workhorse for Tucker homeowners. A full house cleanout, a basement finish, or a remodel that touches several rooms will usually fit in one.
The 30-Yard Dumpster takes on additions, new builds, and small demolition work. Reach for it when the debris is mixed and the pile keeps growing.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container. It's meant for commercial construction, large demolition, and warehouse or office cleanouts that run for weeks.
Still weighing two sizes? Walk your account manager through the job, and they'll point you to the one that fits.
A container on your own driveway, parking lot, or job site in Tucker doesn't need a city permit. The rule changes the moment any part of it touches a public street, sidewalk, or shoulder.
Tucker's code makes it unlawful to obstruct the right-of-way of a public road, street, or easement with anything that blocks a driver's clear view or a walker's free passage. A dumpster parked at the curb does both.
The City of Tucker handles that through a right-of-way permit. The Public Works Department runs the request on its own portal, and the department has been handling city streets directly since the middle of 2023.
The City doesn't publish a fee or a review time for the permit, so build in a few extra days. For questions, call Tucker Public Works at 678-597-9040, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you can't tell where your property line stops and the right-of-way starts, your account manager can help you reach the right person.
Nearly all remodel and cleanout debris is welcome. The limits come from Georgia's disposal rules and from what DeKalb County's sites will take.
Georgia keeps yard trimmings out of lined landfills. The state's Environmental Protection Division says they have to be chipped, composted, mulched, or otherwise reused instead. Keep limbs, leaves, and grass in their own pile, separate from the mixed load.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos never belong in a standard container. Asbestos has a separate route at the county landfill and costs extra to bury.
A few items are billed by the piece rather than by weight. The county's fee schedule charges $50.40 for each appliance holding Freon, and tires run from $3.50 to $30.00 each depending on size and whether the rim is still on. Set those aside and name them when you book.
Got something odd, like a water heater or a pile of old fencing? Ask your account manager first.
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.
Trash service in Tucker is run by DeKalb County Solid Waste Management, which serves the city along with Brookhaven, Decatur, Dunwoody, and several others. Its contact page lists every public site in the county.
Remodel and construction loads from Tucker go to the Seminole Road Landfill at 4203 Clevemont Road, Ellenwood, GA 30294. The gate is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the gate office number is 404-687-4040. The same site takes electronics for recycling.
Lighter household and commercial loads from this side of the county are often routed to the North Transfer Station at 4600 Buford Highway, Chamblee, GA 30341. Its weekday hours run 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a short Saturday morning, and the number there is 404-687-4079.
Both sites weigh every truck and charge by the ton, with per-item pricing on a short list of goods. Your account manager will tell you which one is taking your load and what it means for your bill.

4600 Buford Highway, Chamblee, GA 30341

Most Tucker orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Giving us a few days of notice is still better, since it leaves room for a street permit and a clear drop spot. Early orders often cost less, too.
These five habits make a delivery go smoothly:
County hours matter at the end of a job. The Seminole Road Landfill closes Saturday afternoon and stays shut on Sundays, so a container topped off late in the weekend usually waits until Monday.

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 Tucker runs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both on a five-day rental. What you load and what the county charges per ton at the landfill move the number inside that spread. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate on the call.
Usually, yes. Every self-haul trip means driving to Ellenwood, paying at the gate, and giving up part of a day. Two or three of those add up quickly in gas and time. A container sits at your house for the week, and one truck takes it all away.
It will. A full-size couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves plenty of room for a mattress, a dresser, and bags of odds and ends. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll fill the space long before you touch the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Yard trimmings have to stay separate under Georgia rules, since lined landfills can't bury them. Appliances with Freon and old tires are accepted at the county landfill, but they're priced per piece, so list them when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. That said, the cheapest rental isn't always the cheapest job. Heavy material fills the weight allowance fast and triggers overage charges. Splitting brick and concrete into their own load often ends up costing less overall.
Three days generally costs what five days costs. We price by the job, not by the calendar, so a short rental doesn't lower the rate. Weight is the real variable. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton runs before the truck rolls out.
Almost all household and jobsite debris is fine, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture, and cardboard. Clean brick, block, and concrete are fine too, and they often cost less when kept as a single clean load. Unsure about one item? Your account manager will check before you load it.
