Roll-off dumpster rental in Decatur
Approx. 17 road miles from the yard, around 26 minutes.
Decatur is approx. 17 road miles east of the yard, around 26 minutes — same-day or next-day, depending on availability. It is a city of 24,928 at the 2020 Census, in DeKalb County.
The City will not collect trash from work done by building contractors (§82-34(g)), but it keeps hauling in its own hands: code says all areas are serviced by the City, and no one the City has not approved may collect and haul refuse other than their own (§82-38(b)). So we check the City's rules before booking a container inside city limits.
Local knowledge
Getting our bearings in Decatur
Knowing a city properly is the difference between covering it and showing up with the right box.
- City sanitation for businesses too — the Sanitation Department offers garbage, commingled recycling and glass recycling to multi-family and commercial properties.
- Construction waste counts as commercial refuse — the City's definition of commercial refuse includes waste from construction, remodeling and repair operations (§82-1).
- Red decal — a firm servicing commercial or industrial waste containers sends a letter of intent to the director of sanitation, gets written authorization and puts a distinctive red City decal on each container (§82-39).
- Sidewalks — nothing may obstruct a sidewalk in the city for more than 30 minutes (§86-4).
How we reach Decatur

What comes out of Decatur properties
Kitchens, baths and roofs in 15s and 20s, clear-outs in 20s, and a 10 or 15 for concrete and brick — heavy material goes in the smaller boxes to stay inside weight limits. Contractor trash is not collected by the City (§82-34(g)). Georgia bans lead-acid batteries, liquid waste, hazardous waste and PCB waste from every disposal facility (Rule 391-3-4-.04(6)(b)); liquid paint and solvents stay out, while dried-out paint is fine.

Sizes
Choosing a container size in Decatur
Weight is what usually decides the size, not how much room the pile takes up.
| Size | Dimensions | Capacity | Weight included | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard Dumpster | about 14 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 3.5 ft high | about 3 pickup truck loads | 1–2 tons | Small kitchen and bathroom remodels, garage cleanouts, roofing tear-offs, concrete and tile disposal, and other heavy debris within the weight limit. |

Permits, placement and who may haul in Decatur
Who may haul — the rule that matters: §82-38(b) makes it a violation for anyone not approved by the City to collect and haul refuse other than their own, and says all areas are serviced by the City. §82-39 has firms servicing commercial or industrial waste containers send a letter of intent to the director of sanitation, get written authorization and fix a red City decal to each container. So we check the City's rules before booking a container inside city limits. We're licensed and insured.
Placement: §86-4 bars any obstruction on a sidewalk for more than 30 minutes, so a container never sits on the sidewalk. We could not read the City's right-of-way permit form, so ask the City before using the street. A driveway is the simple spot, and our crew confirms it with you.
Covered loads: City code has its own covered-load rule (§82-38(a)), and Georgia rules say waste must be loaded so it will not fall, leak or spill, and covered when needed so nothing blows off (Rule 391-3-4-.06(3)(a)3).
Knocking something down: Georgia EPD wants a demolition notice 10 working days (Monday to Friday) before every regulated demolition, even when no asbestos is present, filed on EPD forms through GEOS. Homes with four or fewer dwelling units are exempt unless they are part of a larger project, and all regulated asbestos has to be abated before the building comes down. Asbestos waste may go only to a landfill EPD has authorized for it, sealed and labeled (Rule 391-3-4-.04(8)(b)), so it never goes in our containers — tell us if the survey finds any.

How it works
Booking a dumpster in Decatur
Booking a container here takes one phone call and about five minutes.
- 1
Call and tell us the job
One short conversation. We ask the location, what you are clearing — a cleanout, a renovation, a roof, a yard, a job site — roughly how much there is, and how much room the driveway or lot gives us.
- 2
We size it and quote it flat
You get one number that can cover delivery, pickup, disposal, the standard 7-day rental and an included weight allowance. If a smaller box does the job we will say so. If it is concrete, shingles or dirt, we say up front that weight decides the size.
- 3
Delivered where you want it
The driver sets the container on the driveway, lot or job site where you asked, with protective boards under it if you want them. Often same-day or next-day, depending on availability. You do not need to be home.
- 4
Load at your own pace
Keep it level with the top rim and keep the banned items out — paint and solvents, chemicals, oil and fuel, batteries, tires, propane tanks and gas cylinders, medical waste, asbestos, and fridges or A/C units with refrigerant. Need more time or a swap mid-job? One call.
- 5
We haul it and dispose of it right
The load goes to a permitted facility for that kind of waste — Georgia allows nothing else — with metal, concrete, wood and yard waste recycled through local facilities whenever possible. You get your driveway back the way you left it.
