Three steps, one conversation

1

Schedule it

Dial (205) 574-4105 or tap any button on this page. Describe the project and your preferred date — we lock in the size and placement while you're still on the call.

2

We drop it off

We place the container exactly where you want it, boards underneath, door oriented the way you requested. You don't need to be there.

3

We haul it off

Call or text once you're finished. We come get it and take everything away, typically the next business day.

Why Birmingham keeps choosing us

One call handles everything

Describe the project and the date. We nail down the size and placement before you get off the phone.

Same-day if you call early

Place your order before 1pm and a container is usually sitting in your driveway that same afternoon.

Correct size on the first try

Describe the project and we'll recommend the right container, including when a smaller one will handle it.

Family operated, never a middleman

You speak with the people who own the trucks — not a call center halfway across the country.

Your driveway stays protected

Every driver places boards beneath the rails before the container makes contact with your pavement.

Licensed and fully insured

Covered for residential and commercial jobs throughout AL. Certificate available on request.

What you can load in the container

If you're not sure about a particular item, check with us before tossing it in — it prevents a refused load.

Allowed

General household junk and furniture
Renovation and demolition debris
Asphalt and composition shingles
Dimensional lumber, plywood and trim pieces
Drywall, plaster and joint compound
Carpet, underlayment and hard flooring
Cabinets, vanities and countertops
Deck boards and fence sections

Note: yard debris, soil, concrete and brick are too heavy for a mixed load and require a dedicated heavy-debris container — Call (205) 574-4105 and we'll bring the right one.

What Birmingham neighbors are saying

“
The driver came out and surveyed the placement area with me before unloading, then positioned the door right where I needed it for the wheelbarrow.

They let me know exactly which cars to move so the truck had room to back in, and the container landed perfectly on the marks we drew.

Hired them for a roofing tear-off and again for a cleanout the following month. Same team both visits, same dispatcher who actually answers the line.

Clear answers

What materials are allowed in the dumpster?
General household junk, furniture, renovation debris, shingles, decking, flooring and drywall. No paint, fuel, tires, batteries or freon-containing appliances. Yard debris, dirt and concrete go in a separate heavy-debris container.
Is same-day dumpster delivery available?
In most cases, yes — call before 1pm on a weekday and we'll fit you into that afternoon's route. Orders after 1pm go on the first run the following morning.
Will I need a permit in Birmingham?
Not if the container sits on a private driveway. If it has to go on a public street, Birmingham requires a right-of-way permit — we'll point you to the exact office to contact.
Where exactly will the container go?
Wherever our truck can safely reach — driveway, side yard, or the street if you have a permit. Let us know which way you want the door to face and we'll set it accordingly.
How many days can I keep the container?
Every size comes with seven days. Need more time? Call or text before your scheduled pickup and we'll extend it.
