Dumpster Rental in
Roswell, GA
A dumpster in Roswell takes one phone call: pick a size from 10 to 40 yards, set the delivery date, and the container arrives. The 10 yard runs $560-$680 with 10 days to fill it.
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.
Much of Roswell's housing stock dates from the 1970s and 1980s, when the city's big subdivisions went in. A lot of the work here is remodeling those homes. Kitchen and bath gut jobs, siding replacement, the occasional full addition. Roof tear-offs are steady, and the shingles alone push many people toward a 20 yard. Mixed household junk from a cleanout usually fits a 10 or 15. But the drywall, old cabinets, and carpet from a remodel add up fast.
The city is hilly, with lots cut into slopes and driveways that climb or drop noticeably. That matters less than you might think for the drop itself. A steep drive can make loading awkward, and the truck needs a straight approach of about 60 feet. Most deliveries here are straightforward on flat subdivision drives off Roswell Road or Holcomb Bridge Road. The one thing to check before delivery day is overhead clearance. The truck tilts its bed high, and a low limb over the drive can stop a drop that looked fine from the ground.
Dumpster Sizes in Roswell
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Roswell, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
The 10 yard runs $560 to $680 and is the pick when debris is dense: tile, plaster and shingles reach the weight limit long before a bigger container would look full.
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, $655 to $745, is the size crews default to: big enough for a full-room gut, small enough that the drive still works around it.
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.
Commercial jobs and full demolitions book the 40 yard, $815 to $910. If the approach bends or slopes, ask about running two smaller containers instead.
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.
The 15 yard is the same footprint as the 10 with taller walls, which suits bulky-but-light loads: furniture, carpet, a garage that filled itself over a decade.
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.
The 30 yard is the clearout size: attic, basement and garage in one container, $715 to $800. Tall sides add capacity, not weight allowance, so concrete and dirt still price by weight.
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 Roswell, GA
For homeowners
Most household jobs are cleanouts and remodels: furniture, boxes, carpet, cabinets, the layers a house builds up over years. That debris is bulky rather than heavy, so a 10 or 20 yard on a Roswell driveway usually covers it, with room left to park beside it.
For contractors
Jobsite debris runs heavier. Shingles, plaster, tile and the mortar bed under it reach the weight allowance while the container still looks half full. Crews on longer builds often run a smaller size and swap it more than once rather than push one load past its allowance, and they stage it where the truck can make a straight approach.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Roswell
- 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 Roswell, GA?
Dumpster rental pricing in Roswell 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 Roswell
| 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 Roswell 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 Roswell
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
Roswell dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Roswell 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.
Most residential dumpster rentals in Roswell do not need a permit. If your container sits on your own driveway or private property, you are typically fine. The exception is a street placement or public right-of-way. That requires a permit from the City of Roswell's Public Works Department.
There is no fixed answer, because the trucks work routes. A delivery lands in Roswell when a truck is already headed that way with room on its schedule, so the honest window shifts week to week.
The reliable move is to call with your start date and ask what the current window looks like. Book a day or two ahead of when you want to start loading and the timing takes care of itself.
The quote covers 10 days from delivery. That is enough for most single-project rentals, and the clock is not something anyone watches to the hour.
If the job runs long, call before the period ends and the rental can be extended for an additional daily fee. If you finish early, call and the container can come sooner — the pickup date moves if the truck has not been routed yet.
Measure the job by its debris, not its square footage. One bathroom or a single room of flooring is a 10. A full kitchen, cabinets and counters included, fills a 20. Whole-floor gut jobs and big cleanouts run to a 30.
The larger sizes share the same footprint and only grow taller, so a bigger container does not need a bigger driveway. The exception is heavy material: shingles, tile, concrete or dirt hit the weight limit long before the container looks full, so mention them when you call and let the tonnage set the size.
Call the City of Roswell Public Works Department to check whether your placement needs a permit and how to apply. For a street placement, they will want the location and how long the container will be there. Give yourself a few days before delivery in case there is any review time. It is usually a quick process.

That is something we plan around when you call.
