Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about renting a roll-off dumpster in the Newnan area — pricing, permits, sizes, and what actually fits in the box.

Below are the questions we hear most from homeowners and contractors across Newnan, Coweta County, and the surrounding towns we serve. If you don’t see your answer here, call us directly at (470) 241-2574 and we’ll walk you through it.

Pricing & Booking

How do I get a price for my dumpster rental?
Call (470) 241-2574 and tell us the size you need, your address, and how long you expect to need the container. We’ll quote you a straightforward flat rate over the phone.
Is the price you quote the price I pay?
Yes. The flat rate we quote is based on your size, location, and rental period, and it’s the number that shows up on your invoice — no hidden fees added after the box is dropped.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Many customers book a day or two ahead, but if you call in the morning we can often deliver the same day depending on the route and your location.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept standard payment methods over the phone or at time of service. Ask our team about specifics when you call to book.
Do you charge extra if I go over the rental period?
Extended rental periods are billed at a daily rate beyond the included time. We’ll tell you your included period and the extension rate when you book, so there’s no surprise later.
Do you charge extra for overweight loads?
Each size comes with a weight allowance. If your debris — especially heavy material like concrete, dirt, or shingles — pushes past that allowance, an overage fee applies. We’ll walk you through the right size to avoid this before you book — see our size guide for reference.

Permits & Placement

Do I need a permit to have a dumpster on my own property?
No. Placement entirely on private property — your driveway, yard, or a parking pad — is unregulated everywhere in our service area. No permit is required for private property placement.
When do I need a permit for a dumpster in Newnan?
Any time the container needs to sit in a public street or sidewalk inside Newnan city limits, it falls under the City of Newnan’s published Sidewalk Regulations. No dumpster-specific fee is published anywhere on the City’s site, so we’ll tell you to call City Hall directly to confirm before booking.
Why can’t you just tell me the Newnan street placement fee?
Because it genuinely isn’t published. The City’s Sidewalk Regulations confirm the governing process itself is real, but no dumpster-specific fee shows up anywhere on the City’s site. We’d rather send you to City Hall for a real number than guess.
What about unincorporated parts of Coweta County, like Welcome or Madras?
Those communities don’t have their own city government, so Coweta County’s own Engineering division, part of Public Works, is the real permitting authority for local roads and rights-of-way there — not a city office.
Does the permit process vary by town?
Yes, genuinely. Georgia’s local government runs on counties and incorporated cities and towns only, with no township layer, so Senoia, Grantville, Haralson, Moreland, Sargent, Sharpsburg, and Turin each run their own separate council or public-works office, entirely apart from Newnan’s process — and the same is true of Peachtree City, Fayetteville, and Tyrone in Fayette County, Palmetto in Fulton County, and Griffin in Spalding County. See our permit guide for the full breakdown.
Is there a special permit for placing a dumpster on a state route or highway?
No separate GDOT permit applies to a dumpster sitting on a city street, even where a state route runs through town. GDOT permits cover driveway entrances and highway encroachments, not containers — placement is still handled through that city’s own ordinance.
Is placement different near historic downtown Newnan?
No special review applies to a container sitting on your own property near the historic downtown courthouse square. If it needs to sit in a public street or sidewalk there, the same City of Newnan Sidewalk Regulations apply as they would anywhere else in the city. See our downtown placement guide for more.

Sizes & What Fits

What dumpster sizes do you offer?
We offer 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 yard roll-off dumpsters. See our full size guide for details on each.
What size do most homeowners rent?
The 20 yard is our most requested size — it typically handles whole-house cleanouts, larger remodels, and mid-size roofing jobs without going oversized.
What size do I need for a small cleanout or garage purge?
A 10 or 15 yard usually covers a small cleanout, a garage purge, or a single-room remodel — see our 15 yard page for details.
What size do I need for a whole-house project or new construction?
A 30 or 40 yard is typically the right call for whole-house renovations, commercial cleanouts, or new-construction debris — see our 30 yard page for details.
I’m not sure which size I need — can you help?
Yes, this is what we do all day. Call (470) 241-2574 with a rough description of the job and we’ll recommend a size based on what similar projects across the Newnan area have needed. Our size guide walks through the common scenarios too.

Delivery & Access

How much space does the truck need to deliver?
Our roll-off trucks generally need a clear, straight path to the drop spot and enough overhead clearance for the box to be raised and set down. Tell us about tight spots or low tree limbs when you book so we can plan accordingly.
Can you deliver to a tight driveway?
Yes, we handle tight driveways and narrow lots regularly, from older in-town neighborhoods near historic downtown Newnan to newer subdivisions across Coweta County. Describe the access when you call and we’ll tell you honestly what will work.
Do I need to be home for delivery or pickup?
Not necessarily, as long as we have clear instructions on where to place the container and access to that spot. Many customers coordinate delivery without being on-site.
Will the dumpster damage my driveway?
We place boards under the rails when needed to protect asphalt, concrete, and gravel surfaces, and our drivers place the container carefully to minimize any impact on your property.
How do you handle delivery during spring storm season?
Newnan itself was directly hit by an EF4 tornado on March 26, 2021, and spring — roughly March through May — is our sharpest severe-thunderstorm and tornado risk window. Storm cleanup calls spike during and after those systems, so we recommend booking early when severe weather is forecast for your area. See our tornado season guide for more.
Can you deliver the same day I call?
Often, yes, especially for calls placed early in the day, depending on the route and your location. Call (470) 241-2574 and we’ll tell you what’s realistic.

What Can & Can't Go In

Can I put electronics in the dumpster?
We’d rather you didn’t mix them in. Georgia doesn’t have a statewide law banning electronics from landfills, but most disposal facilities won’t accept TVs, computers, and monitors mixed into general debris — Coweta County’s own electronics-recycling options are the better route for those items. See our recycling guide for details.
Can asbestos-containing material go in the dumpster?
No, never. Asbestos requires specialized handling and disposal by a licensed abatement contractor — it cannot go in a standard roll-off container under any circumstances. This comes up more than you’d expect in some of the older homes around Newnan’s historic downtown.
What other items are prohibited?
Paint, fuel, motor oil, and other chemicals; lead-acid batteries; whole tires; medical waste; and appliances still holding refrigerant generally can’t go in a standard roll-off. Georgia restricts lead-acid batteries from mixed solid waste under O.C.G.A. § 12-8-28, and restricts whole-tire landfilling under the Tire Disposal Restrictions, O.C.G.A. § 12-8-40.1. Ask us if you’re unsure about a specific item — see our what can go in a dumpster guide for the full list.
Can I put yard waste in a regular dumpster?
Yard waste has its own separate exclusion list even when it’s otherwise allowed — no treated or painted wood, no plastic planters or pots, no fertilizers or lawn chemicals, and no bagged household trash mixed in with the clippings and branches. See our yard waste service for details.
What happens to items you won’t take?
We’ll tell you honestly what can’t go in the box and point you to the right disposal option — a certified e-waste recycler, a household hazardous waste program, or a licensed abatement contractor, depending on the item.
I’m not sure if an item is allowed — can I just ask?
Absolutely. Call (470) 241-2574 before you load anything questionable and we’ll tell you straight whether it can go in the box or needs to go somewhere else.

Ready when you are

Still have a question?
