The first decision in Atlanta

Match the terms to your project.

For seven days, Ellenwood's 15-yard package is $425 with 2 tons; Dump Daddy's is $430 with 3 tons. Ellenwood also offers one- and three-day packages. Match the waste type and final delivered charges before choosing on base price.

Your local checklist
  1. Check whether the address is inside City of Atlanta and ask ATLDOT to review any proposed public right-of-way placement.
  2. Schedule eligible household bulk pickup with ATL311 and a CHaRM appointment for accepted paint or chemicals; keep construction waste separate.
  3. Get written quotes for identical materials, days and expected weight, then complete the placement permit and provider paperwork before delivery.

Arrange Atlanta's right-of-way permit before delivery

ATLDOT requires a permit for dumpsters on City public right-of-way, a liability-insurance certificate naming the City as certificate holder, and the provider's compliance agreement. Apply through WorksApp. The portal's linked checklist also requires a placement sketch and notarized affidavit with identification. Its published fee schedule lists $20 fixed plus $10 per calendar day for up to 100 linear feet; longer occupied sections cost more. Confirm the layout and invoice with ATLDOT at 404-330-6501. These are City of Atlanta rules: an Atlanta mailing address in another municipality or unincorporated county needs that jurisdiction's review. Private-property placement still needs site-specific confirmation.

What matters locally

Use household bulk collection before paying for unused capacity

ATL311 lists 12 free scheduled collections yearly for single-family residents. Furniture and appliances qualify; a collection is limited to 8 cubic yards, with excess counted as another collection. The resident must schedule it. Construction materials, contractor leftovers, evictions and vacant-property loads are excluded. Confirm eligibility with ATL311 at 404-546-0311 before setting anything out.

Check the source

Book a separate CHaRM trip for paint and household chemicals

Live Thrive lists paint and specified household chemicals for CHaRM drop-off. Chemicals must remain in their original containers; unknown materials, industrial/lab chemicals and chemicals in containers of 5 gallons or more are excluded. Residents' first 20 pounds of paint and chemicals combined are free; additional weight is charged. Check the current fee bands, appointment location and item acceptance before traveling. Businesses must register first.

Questions about renting in Atlanta.

Can I put an Atlanta street dumpster beside a bus stop or on the sidewalk?

The City's provider-certification form bars placement within 40 feet of a bus stop, 20 feet of a crosswalk or designated accessible parking space, 30 feet of an intersection, and 15 feet of a hydrant. Sidewalk placement needs a specific City determination that another location is infeasible and the proposed position will not create the listed safety, traffic or damage problems. Submit the actual layout for approval.

Can Atlanta's scheduled bulk pickup take debris from my renovation?

Building and construction materials are excluded, even when the project is at a home. ATL311 says residents and contractors must pay for their disposal; examples include wallboard, processed wood, brick and concrete. Keep eligible household furniture separate. If the load contains concrete or masonry, obtain a suitable hauling quote: Dump Daddy's reviewed Atlanta offer excludes those materials.
