Frequently Asked Questions

Pricing varies with the dumpster size, the type of debris, the rental duration, the disposal weight and the delivery location, so we quote each job rather than publish a price list. Our flat-rate pricing typically includes delivery, pickup, disposal fees and the standard rental period, with no hidden charges, and every quote includes a weight allowance — about 1 to 2 tons on a 10 yard, 2 to 3 on a 15, 3 to 4 on a 20, 4 to 5 on a 30 and 5 to 6 on a 40. Call (334) 686-0763 for a quote. The cost guide explains what moves the number.

Yes. Delivery, pickup, disposal fees and the standard rental period are typically included in the flat rate, along with the weight allowance for your size. No hidden charges and no surprise fuel fees.

Going over the included weight, when an overage fee may apply based on disposal weight; keeping the container past the standard rental period, at an additional daily or weekly fee; and extra pickups or swap-outs, which are part of the quote. We explain the terms up front so there is nothing to find later.

Heavy materials such as concrete, dirt, brick, asphalt and roofing shingles use up the included weight fast, and they are usually limited to the smaller containers, such as a 10 or 15 yard, because weight limits keep the haul safe. Keep heavy debris separate from light material, use a smaller box for it, and tell us roughly how much there is — we help you stay within the allowance.

Yes. We provide custom pricing for large cleanouts, multi-load jobs and ongoing projects, and contractors and repeat customers can ask about recurring service and scheduled swap-outs. Tell us the expected duration and how many containers you need, and we quote the whole job.

Major credit and debit cards. Payment is generally collected when the rental is scheduled, to reserve your delivery date. Where an independent provider handles the rental, billing may be handled by that provider, and we tell you on the call.

On your own driveway or lot in Dothan, we found no City rule for a temporary roll-off — keep the container off the sidewalk and the street. In a street, sidewalk or alley, yes. Dothan's code makes it unlawful to place, keep or maintain boxes, rubbish or any other article on a sidewalk, street, alley or public way where it may obstruct it, unless it is there under a valid permit from the City (City Code § 86-1), and putting soil, trash, limbs or debris of any kind on a street needs a written permit from the City Engineer or the Public Works Director first (§ 86-8). The code does not say which department issues the § 86-1 permit, and we found no permit written for dumpsters, no fee, no time limit and no lighting rule — so call Public Works at (334) 615-4420, or ask us, to confirm what applies to your street. Ross Clark Circle (State Route 210), Headland Avenue (State Route 211) and the US highways through town are state routes. The permit guide and your town page cover the details.

In Dothan, only under a valid permit from the City, as above, and the roll-off truck itself may not park on a residential street except while it is loading or unloading (§ 98-91). Elsewhere: Enterprise wants a written permit from the City before anyone obstructs a street, sidewalk or public way — the code says the mayor issues it — with the material kept adjacent to the property, never past the center line, with suitable safeguards and red lights at night (Enterprise Code § 18-30); Ozark bars anything that obstructs the free passage of a street, alley or sidewalk (§ 16-1); and Abbeville bars obstructing any street with boxes or similar articles (§ 46-2). In Headland, the City's building permit forms say the dumpster must be on the job site. Tell us when you book and we plan the placement around it.

Not always obvious. Ross Clark Circle, US-231, US-84, US-431, AL-52 and AL-53 are state routes, and so is Headland Avenue (State Route 211) near our yard. ALDOT prohibits any use of state right-of-way other than normal vehicular traffic without its written permission, and its permit manual has no container permit, so there the box stays on private property. Houston County Road and Bridge lists no dumpster permit for county roads; keep county roadside ditches and drainage clear. If you are not sure, tell us the address and we check which rules apply.

Because Alabama lets cities and counties make collection mandatory and license the firms that collect solid waste (Code of Ala. §§ 22-27-3, 22-27-5), and a few towns here do. Hartford makes it unlawful to pick up refuse, trash or construction and demolition materials in the City without a City licence (Ord. 06-01-2026-1, § 22). Ozark keeps commercial garbage and trash for the City or a City-licensed and permitted contractor (§ 10-27) and charges contractors 3 percent of gross receipts (§ 10-33). Enterprise charges commercial waste collection companies franchise fees under Resolution 12-2-97, and Ashford provides commercial collection itself (Ord. 2026-001). In those four we check the City's rules before booking. Dothan's business licence schedule has a Waste Management Services class with a surety bond (§ 18-22), and in Houston County the county health department's Solid Waste Officer issues permits and inspects vehicles for garbage collectors and haulers. Each town page states its rule.

Ross Clark Circle is the City's through route for commercial vehicles, and no through commercial vehicle may use City routes inside the Circle; a truck may leave a truck route to make a delivery or load, by the most direct route (City Code § 98-129). On residential streets, no truck heavier than a one-ton pickup may stop or park except while it is loading or unloading (§ 98-91). That is why the container goes where the truck can set it down and leave — the driveway, the lot or the job site.

We take precautions to minimize the risk of damage during delivery and pickup, and protective boards can be used beneath the container on request; some customers also put plywood or wooden boards under the wheels. Keep it off soft ground and grass.

A flat, solid surface such as a driveway, gravel pad or paved area; room for the container — about 14 feet long for a 10 yard, 16 feet for a 15, and about 22 feet for a 20 and up, all about 7.5 feet wide; about 60 feet of clear approach for the roll-off truck; and clear space overhead. Low wires, tree branches, vehicles, trailers and bins are the usual problems, so clear them before the drop.

Dothan, Kinsey, Webb, Cowarts, Headland, Midland City and Rehobeth; Ashford, Columbia, Gordon and Cottonwood; and Ozark, Newton, Enterprise, Abbeville, Slocomb and Hartford — each with its own page. The complete Dothan guide pulls it together.

At 1950 Wise Dr, Dothan, AL 36303 — inside the City of Dothan, Houston County, just off Ross Clark Circle near Headland Avenue.

Mostly the timing. Enterprise, our furthest stop, is about 31 road miles from the yard, Abbeville about 25 and Hartford about 24. Price depends partly on the delivery location, and we say any difference up front.

No. The rules follow the city or town the property is in, not the mailing address. Inside the City of Dothan, the City Code applies — the § 86-1 street rule, City curbside pickup and the rest. Outside the city limits, in unincorporated Houston County, the County's rules apply: its household garbage service is mandatory under the policy that took effect on October 1, 2026, it covers household garbage only, and contractor debris left on the county right-of-way carries a minimum charge. Kinsey, Webb, Cowarts and the other towns write their own rules. Tell us the address and we check.

A few. Hartford requires a City licence to pick up refuse, trash or construction and demolition materials (Ord. 06-01-2026-1, § 22). Ozark keeps commercial garbage and trash for the City or a City-licensed and permitted contractor (§ 10-27). Enterprise charges commercial waste collection companies franchise fees under Resolution 12-2-97. Ashford provides commercial collection itself and leaves construction debris to the contractor or owner (Ord. 2026-001), so construction roll-offs fit there while ongoing commercial trash service does not. In those four, we check the City's rules before booking. Each town page says what that town asks for.
