Fulton & DeKalb Counties Landfill Tipping Fees & Per-Ton Overage Rules for Atlanta Dumpsters
Primary Disposal Facility: DeKalb County Seminole Road Landfill, Fulton County Chadwick Road Landfill & Live Thrive CHaRM (Seminole Rd Landfill: 4203 Clevemont Rd, Ellenwood, GA 30294 | Chadwick Rd Landfill: 1410 Chadwick Rd, Roswell, GA 30075 | CHaRM: 1110 Hill St SE, Atlanta, GA 30315) [3]
- Official Landfill / Transfer Station Rate: Regional landfill & C&D transfer station gate rates average ~$45–$62/ton; Live Thrive CHaRM (1110 Hill St SE) charges $20/mattress by appointment [3]
- Typical Private Roll-Off Overage Rate: $60 to $80 per ton above your container’s included weight limit
- Atlanta straddles Fulton County and DeKalb County: private roll-off haulers route mixed municipal waste and C&D loads to regional transfer stations, Fulton/Cobb/Gwinnett C&D landfills, and DeKalb County’s Seminole Road Landfill (4203 Clevemont Rd).
- City of Atlanta’s scheduled ATL311 Bulk Item Collection covers up to 4 household furniture or appliance items per appointment, but strictly excludes all construction, renovation, and contractor debris.
- Hard-to-recycle items banned from dumpsters—including mattresses ($20 fee), electronics, paint, household chemicals, and tires—can be dropped off by appointment at Live Thrive CHaRM (1110 Hill St SE, Atlanta, GA 30315).
How Tonnage Overages Work: Atlanta 10- to 30-yard dumpster quotes include 2 to 4 tons of weight allowance. Heavy renovation materials like plaster, lathe, brick, or roofing shingles exceeding the weight cap are billed at $60–$80/ton.
Atlanta, GA Street Permit Rules, Right-of-Way Regulations & HOA Driveway Guidelines
Municipal Permit Authority: City of Atlanta Department of Transportation (ATLDOT) — Office of Enterprise Assets & Right-of-Way Permitting [1]
- Private Driveway Placement (No City Permit Needed): No City of Atlanta permit is required when your roll-off dumpster sits completely on your private driveway without encroaching onto a public sidewalk, tree lawn, bike lane, or street.
- Public Street / Right-of-Way Permit Requirements: Placing a roll-off container on a public street, curb lane, or sidewalk requires a City of Atlanta Department of Transportation (ATLDOT) Right-of-Way / Temporary Container Permit with reflective traffic cones/barricades and proof of hauler liability insurance.
- Local HOA & Subdivision Restrictions in Atlanta: Atlanta historic districts (Inman Park, Grant Park, Druid Hills) and gated Buckhead/Sandy Springs HOAs enforce strict visual screening, tree-canopy clearance, and 7- to 10-day driveway placement rules.
- Driveway Protection & Delivery Clearance Tips: Atlanta’s dense tree canopy (City of Atlanta Tree Protection Ordinance) means low oak and pine limbs often block roll-off hoist arms (which need 18–22 ft of vertical clearance). Check overhead branches before delivery and lay 2x6 boards under the bin’s steel wheels.
Items Prohibited in Atlanta Roll-Off Dumpsters (Where to Dispose of Them Instead)
Because every roll-off load in Atlanta is inspected at DeKalb County Seminole Road Landfill, Fulton County Chadwick Road Landfill & Live Thrive CHaRM under state and municipal solid-waste rules [3], haulers strictly prohibit or surcharge the following items inside a mixed roll-off container:
- Construction & Renovation Debris in ATL311 Curbside Bulk Pickup: City of Atlanta Solid Waste Services strictly rejects drywall, tile, lumber, carpet tear-outs, and shingles at the curb—requiring a roll-off dumpster or private hauling crew.
- Mattresses, Electronics, Paint & Chemicals (Use CHaRM at 1110 Hill St SE): Banned from mixed roll-off containers; book an appointment at Live Thrive CHaRM (1110 Hill St SE) for eco-compliant disposal.
- Refrigerators, Freezers & AC Units with Refrigerant: Prohibited in landfill dumpsters under federal EPA Section 608 rules; schedule an ATL311 bulk pickup (doors removed) or book LoadUp in-home appliance removal.
