If you are unsure which size to choose, our Atlanta dumpster rental team can quickly recommend the best option.
Can I load heavy materials like concrete or dirt?
Yes, but heavy materials such as concrete, dirt, brick, asphalt, and gravel should typically only be loaded into smaller dumpsters like 10-yard or 15-yard containers due to transportation weight limits.
Our team can help determine the correct dumpster for heavy debris.

- Wood
- Drywall
- Flooring materials

Delivery & Pickup Dumpster Rental FAQs
Where can you place my dumpster?
We can safely place dumpsters in many locations, including:
- Residential driveways
- Construction sites
- Commercial properties
- Parking lots
- Approved curbside areas
Our drivers work carefully to ensure dumpsters are placed safely, level, and in accessible loading locations.
Will the dumpster damage my driveway?

Many customers choose to place plywood boards beneath the dumpster wheels for additional protection, especially on decorative or newer driveways.
How full can I fill the dumpster?
