At Prime Dumpster, we arrange roll-off containers from 10 to 40 yards across Union City, Georgia and the south Fulton County communities along the Highway 138 and Jonesboro Road corridors. This is a fast-growing part of metro Atlanta, so new residential construction, warehouse fit-outs near the interstate and subdivision renovation work all run side by side here.
One fact from the city's own rules makes a container the standard answer in Union City rather than an option. The city states in writing that waste from construction, demolition or landscaping work will not be collected, transported or disposed of by public facilities, and that it is the owner or generator who has to deal with it. That is not a gap in the service. It is the service being drawn deliberately.

|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Yard Dumpster | $399–$499 | 12' L × 8' W × 3.5' H | Concrete, brick, and heavy debris; small cleanouts; single-room remodels |

| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |
| 40-Yard Dumpster | $699–$899 | 22–24' L × 8' W × 8' H | Commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts, large-scale construction |
Size opens the figure and weight moves it. Georgia red clay, concrete, block and brick are all heavy, and a container loaded with any of them reaches its weight allowance while it still looks half full. A driveway tear-out or a slab removal in Union City usually belongs in a 10-yard rather than a 20.
The second factor is where the load lands. South Fulton County has no county-run landfill or transfer station, so every load in this market goes to a privately held site and is charged by weight at the receiving end. That is why two identical containers can carry different disposal figures depending on the material in them. Your account manager confirms the destination and the weight terms for your job before the truck is scheduled.
Rental length is the smallest lever. A Union City container carries one job price, so a three-day job and a five-day job usually settle at the same number, with any extra days charged afterwards.

Choose from the material. Most Union City properties have room for a container, so the decision is almost always about what goes in rather than where it sits.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one for heavy, compact loads. A clean load of concrete, block, brick, clay or tile hits its weight ceiling long before it fills, and it is the right call for a driveway, a patio or a slab.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage clear-down, a bathroom, a light roof or a deck coming down.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Union City homes book. A whole-house cleanout, multi-room work, a flooring strip or a reroof all fit, and the walls stay low enough to load over by hand.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits new construction, a large addition or a serious demolition, where framing lumber, sheathing and drywall fill volume much faster than they build weight.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the commercial size, taking demolition, warehouse clearing and large-scale construction in the industrial parks off the interstate. It is the largest size we arrange and it needs a straight approach, a level drop point and clear overhead height.
A container on private property, in a driveway or inside a job-site boundary, is the normal arrangement in Union City and it is how almost every job here is served. The city's rules on storage and transport are worth knowing anyway, because a few of them are stricter than the metro average.
Storage first. The city makes it unlawful to keep or store solid waste outside a building except in proper containers for collection, or as the code otherwise provides, or under the express prior approval of the director of public works. An unauthorized accumulation is declared a nuisance, you get two weeks from written notice to clear it, and after that each day counts as its own violation. On a long job, that approval route from Public Works is the thing to ask about rather than a street permit.
There is a screening rule and it applies to containers that are not out for collection: when waste containers are not placed at the street for collection, they have to be screened from public view. On a residential remodel that is usually satisfied by keeping the container behind the building line, and your account manager will talk through placement before delivery.
Union City also writes its load-cover duty more widely than most cities do. It is unlawful to operate a vehicle here hauling solid waste that leaks, flows freely or spills, and any load has to be covered or secured so that litter cannot blow or escape while the vehicle is moving or parked, on public or private property. In practice that means a container should be covered on site in high wind, not only in transit.
The licensing position is clear and it sits on us, not on you. The city's business regulations chapter says no person shall conduct business as a solid waste handler in Union City without first obtaining a business license from the city administrator, and it defines solid waste by adopting the state definition, which takes in construction and demolition material. The city separately grants franchises to remove and dispose of solid waste in all zoning districts, for terms of up to three calendar years, with a fee set at ten percent of monthly billing collected. There is also a monthly reporting duty on every private vendor, covering tonnage, origin, material type, the disposal site and what it charges. None of that is paperwork for a customer to handle. It is why your account manager confirms the city position before a commercial job is booked, and will tell you plainly if it changes what we can do.
Dumping is tightly controlled too. Waste may only go to a council-designated site you are authorized to use, into a container installed for that property, onto land you own or have the owner's consent to use, or to a site holding a state solid waste handling permit. No landfill may operate inside Union City except one the mayor and council designate.
Ordinary construction, demolition and household debris is acceptable in a Union City container. The limits come from Georgia rules and from the receiving site.
No hazardous material goes in a container: that means fuels, solvents, wet paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, pressurized cylinders and anything with PCBs in it. The city makes placing hazardous waste out for collection a violation in its own right, except by prior arrangement with the director of public works.
Scrap tires are handled as their own regulated class in Georgia, and the city's code points straight at the state rules for tire generators, carriers and retailers. Declare tires when you book and we agree the route in advance rather than finding out at the gate.
Asbestos cannot travel in a standard container. Older Union City housing and the mid-century commercial buildings along the main roads can both turn up pipe lagging, floor tile and textured ceiling coating. Suspect material needs testing, not loading.
Liquids are out, including standing rainwater in an old tank or drum. All water does is add tonnage.
Electronics, mattresses and appliances containing refrigerant each have their own handling route here.
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.
Here is the honest position for Union City, and it is worth explaining rather than glossing over.
Fulton County does not publish a county-owned landfill, transfer station or public drop-off site. We read the county's own website, including the Department of Public Works, whose published functions are development permitting, planning and zoning, water and sewer connections and erosion control, and the Department of Finance's business licensing pages. Neither carries a solid waste or hauler item, and there is no county disposal facility anywhere on the county's site. The city's own website refuses automated requests from any route we are willing to use, so the collection and recycling site its code describes is unconfirmed.
That means the disposal capacity serving this market is privately held, and we do not name a competitor's site as a destination or publish an address and a phone number for a facility we have not confirmed with the public authority behind it. So instead of guessing, your account manager confirms the destination for your specific load at booking, tells you what it charges by weight, and tells you whether separating part of the load changes the number.
Two things we can state from the city's own rules. The city will not take construction, demolition or landscaping waste through its public service at all, so there is no municipal fallback for a renovation here. And every private vendor operating in Union City has to report the disposal site it uses, and what that site charges, to the city each month. That is a market where the destination is documented, even if it is not publicly owned.
Most Union City containers can be scheduled within one to two business days. Private-property placements are the norm, lots here are generally roomy, and the schedule usually comes down to the truck rather than the site.
Five things make a Union City, Georgia booking quick:
A north Georgia weather note. Summer thunderstorms and winter rain both add real weight to drywall, insulation and carpet, and that weight is what you pay for.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves Union City itself along with Fairburn, Palmetto, Chattahoochee Hills and the unincorporated south Fulton County land around them. City and county boundaries interleave closely in this corner of the metro area and the rules change across them, so give us the exact street address.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, settle the destination, 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.
On the five-day basis a 10-yard is $399 to $499 and a 40-yard is $699 to $899. Weight-based disposal is charged on top, and because there is no county-run site here the rate turns on the private facility that receives the load. Your account manager confirms the tonnage, overage rate and destination at booking.
Past one pickup load, renting wins in Union City. The city will not take construction, demolition or landscaping waste through its public service, so a self-haul trip means driving to a private site and paying by weight. Trips, fuel and minimum charges add up faster than a container does.
Yes, comfortably. Reckon a three-seat couch at a fifth of a 10-yard, with a bed frame, a dresser and boxed goods alongside. Bulky household items run out of room long before they get near a weight limit, so a 10-yard usually suits a furniture clearing.
Fuels, solvents, wet paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, pressurized cylinders and liquids of any kind are all excluded. Asbestos-bearing material is not permitted. Scrap tires are a separately regulated class in Georgia, and electronics, mattresses and appliances with refrigerant each have their own route.
The 10-yard carries the lowest base price at $399 to $499, and on a Union City job with concrete, block or clay in it the 10-yard is often the right container anyway. One dense load on its own usually costs less than a single mixed container that blows through its allowance.
Three days and five days usually settle at one figure in Union City, because the job rather than the calendar drives the price. Tonnage, not days on site, is what pushes a Union City, Georgia figure up. Ask your account manager to confirm the included tonnage and the overage rate before the container is delivered.
Lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, doors, windows, furniture, cardboard, brick, block and clean concrete are all acceptable in a Georgia container. Separate out clean concrete and clean untreated wood where you can. Ask your account manager about anything borderline before it goes in.
