Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
No quote-chasing: the numbers for Georgia are on the page. One call books the container, one account manager owns the order until pickup, and the delivery date you set is the one the truck works to.
A 20 yard dumpster is the most common rental in Brookhaven. Easy to see why. Most jobs around here are remodeling projects in older homes, and a 20 handles the drywall, lumber, and cabinetry from a kitchen or bath remodel comfortably. The neighborhoods are mostly established homes with mature landscaping. Renovation beats new construction here. A 30 makes sense for a whole-house cleanout or a roof tear-off where the decking and trim come off too. That's where the weight adds up fast. A 20 is often the smarter play unless you're tossing bulky light materials.
Your drop location in Brookhaven is usually a driveway, and the main thing that decides how smooth it goes is overhead clearance. The truck tilts its bed high to set the container down. A low limb or a service line over the drive can stop a delivery that looked perfect from the ground. Stand where you want the container and look up. If you're on a street like Roswell Road or Buford Highway, the curb lane is an option. It needs county approval and plenty of room for the truck to line up straight. A neighborhood like Ashford Park has older trees that overhang drives. Checking branches before delivery day saves everyone time.
Dumpster Sizes in Brookhaven
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Brookhaven, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
For jobs that sound small and weigh a lot — tile, plaster, a concrete stoop — the 10 yard is the right call at $560 to $680. Dense debris hits the weight allowance before it ever needs the space.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
The 20 yard runs $655 to $745: room for a whole floor's recarpeting, a roof tear-off within its weight allowance, or the accumulated half of a basement.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
Nothing bigger goes on a truck. The 40 yard runs $815 to $910 and suits light, high-volume debris; loaded with anything dense it hits the road-weight limit half full.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
Cleanouts that outgrow a 10 usually land here. The 15 yard adds a third more space without a longer footprint, so a normal driveway still takes it.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
Estate clearances and gut renovations across several rooms fill a 30 yard, priced $715 to $800. The walls are tall, so big pieces go over the rail instead of through a door.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Brookhaven, GA
For homeowners
House projects throw out more shapes than pounds — mattresses, shelving, bagged clothes, torn-out cabinets. A 10 or 20 yard takes most of them. The exception is tile or plaster work, which runs heavy for its size; mention it when you order and the right container follows.
For contractors
Contractors mostly need two things: a container that matches the phase and a swap that shows up before the full one blocks the next trade. Demolition and roofing run heavy, so those loads go in smaller containers loaded level; framing and finish stages fill big containers with light scrap.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Brookhaven
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Brookhaven, GA?
Dumpster rental pricing in Brookhaven varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Brookhaven
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $560 – $680 | $340 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $655 – $745 | — | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $715 – $800 | — | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $815 – $910 | — | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Brookhaven address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (888) 664-7740 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Brookhaven
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Brookhaven dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Brookhaven dumpster costs range from $560 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $910 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
Work from what is coming out, not from the size of the house. A single bathroom or one room of flooring fills a 10. A kitchen with cabinets and counters wants the 20. Gut work across several rooms, or a barn with decades of storage in it, is 30 yard territory.
Roofing is its own case. Shingles are heavy for the space they take, so the tonnage allowance runs out long before the walls do. If concrete, brick or dirt is going in, say so when you call, because that changes the answer completely.
When two sizes both look plausible, the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
A 20 yard dumpster on your own driveway in Brookhaven does not need a permit. DeKalb County issues permits only when the container sits on public property, like a street or a sidewalk. If your drop is on private land, you are set. Call the county's code enforcement office if you plan to place it on the curb.
The standard window is 10 days, counted from delivery. Most renovations and cleanouts finish well inside it.
The period is not rigid in either direction. A job that runs long can be extended by phone for an additional daily fee, and a container that fills up fast can be collected early if the pickup schedule has room. Either way, one call settles it.
It depends where the trucks already are that week. Containers run routes, so a drop gets grouped with other stops heading the same direction, and how quickly one reaches Brookhaven moves with how full the schedule already is.
Call with the dates you have in mind and ask for the current window. Ordering a day or two before you actually want to start loading is the habit that saves people a scramble.
Can you put it on the street? That is the real question. In Brookhaven, street placement needs a permit from DeKalb County. They want to know how long it will be there. You also need to keep the container clear of fire hydrants, driveways, and intersections. A flagman or cones may be required if it blocks a lane. Most people avoid the hassle by keeping the dumpster on the driveway.
