Which size most people pick
The 15 yard is our most popular size for homeowners. It handles garage, attic and basement clean-outs and fits tight driveways. The 20 yard is the usual pick for roofing and bigger remodels. Builders order the 30 yard most for new construction and additions.
Concrete, dirt and other heavy material
Concrete, brick, block, dirt, clay, sod, asphalt and gravel go in our 20-yard concrete and dirt box: $375, loaded up to 8 tons. Concrete washout cans are $585.
Why heavy loads go in their own box
A few yards of concrete can weigh more than a full dumpster of household junk, so a box that looks half empty can already be at its limit. Keep heavy material out of the standard 15, 20 and 30 yard dumpsters, and fill only to the top rail. Clean concrete we take in gets crushed and recycled. More on heavy material dumpsters.
What can change your price
- Going over the included tons: $44 a ton, from the scale ticket
- Keeping it past 14 days: $7 a day
- Items we can’t take: paint, chemicals, tires, batteries and appliances with refrigerant. See what can go in.
- Heavy material in a standard dumpster: concrete, brick and dirt belong in the concrete and dirt box
There is no environmental fee on homeowner rentals.
We own the landfill, so you pay less
Most dumpster companies haul your load to someone else’s landfill and pass that fee on to you. We take Greensboro-area loads to our own Bishop Road Landfill at 2091 Bishop Rd., and Winston-Salem-area loads to our own Abbey Green Transfer Station on Overdale Road. No third-party landfill fee, and no waiting on someone else’s schedule.
We’ve been family owned in the Triad since 1979, and every dumpster we set is ours, on our trucks, with our drivers.

Can I get a dumpster the same day?

What happens if my dumpster goes over the weight limit?
We weigh every load at our own scale. Tons over the included amount are $44 a ton, shown on the scale ticket. Heavy material goes in the 20-yard concrete and dirt box, up to 8 tons.
How much is it to keep a dumpster longer?
Homeowner rentals include 14 days. After that it is $7 a day. Call dispatch and we will extend it.
How much does a dumpster for concrete or dirt cost?
Our 20-yard concrete and dirt box is $375, loaded up to 8 tons.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster?
Not on your own driveway or lot. On a public street, alley or sidewalk you need a right-of-way or lane closure permit from your city. Permit fees are paid to the city, not to A-1.
Is there a landfill or environmental fee on top?
No. We own the landfill, so no third-party landfill fee is passed through, and there is no environmental fee on homeowner rentals.
Can I add a portable toilet to my dumpster rental?
Yes. We deliver both on our own trucks and put them on one bill. A standard porta potty with weekly service starts at $90 every 4 weeks, with no fees.
