Four driveway-friendly sizes, drawn to scale, with the projects each one fits, what they weigh out at, and what they cost in Cumming and across North Atlanta.
G 5.0 ★★★★★ Google Reviews100+ reviewsPicking the right dumpster comes down to two things: how much volume your debris takes up, and how much it weighs. Light, bulky stuff (furniture, cabinets, yard waste) fills space fast but stays under the weight limit. Dense materials (shingles, tile, concrete, dirt) hit the weight limit long before the bin looks full. When in doubt, text us a photo of the pile and we will tell you which size to book.

How weight limits work
Every price includes a set weight (1 to 3.5 tons depending on size). We weigh the loaded bin at the transfer station; anything over the included weight is $80 per ton. Heavy materials such as concrete, dirt, bricks and shingles need prior approval so we can put you in the right size and avoid surprises.
