Dumpster Rental in
Moody, AL
Cleanout, remodel or roofing tear-off, there is a container size for it here in Moody — 10 through 40 yards, with the 10 yard at $540-$615 for a 10-day rental.
Mon–Fri 7am–7pm CT
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
Look up the price, make the call, get the container. ZTERS publishes real Alabama prices, keeps the order to a single conversation, and sets the delivery date on that same call.
Newer homes around Twin Lake Estates and Austin Hill tend to fill a dumpster with the light, bulky stuff from a remodel — drywall, cabinets, old flooring — while older houses near Halls Lake are more likely to produce the heavy end: concrete steps, brick, roof shingles. That split is what decides the container. Bulky loads need the volume of a 30, and dense demolition material belongs in a 10 loaded level. Knowing which kind of project you have makes the size choice obvious before the truck gets here.
Ridgewood Estates is one of Moody's established subdivisions, and a delivery there depends mostly on how the drive meets the street. Many of the older houses along Main Street have shorter driveways, while newer developments off US 78 give the truck a straighter run. The physical checks are the same across all of them: the truck needs roughly 60 feet of straight approach and 10 to 12 feet of width, and it tilts its bed high to set the container down, so overhead branches and service lines matter as much as the ground. Before delivery day, stand at the spot you want and look back at the street, then look up.
Dumpster Sizes in Moody
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Moody, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
The 10 yard runs $540 to $615 and is the pick when debris is dense: tile, plaster and shingles reach the weight limit long before a bigger container would look full.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
Most kitchen-plus-bath remodels land in the 20 yard, $605 to $680. It takes the cabinets, counters, subfloor and trim in one go, with the footprint of a delivery truck.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
The 40 yard at $740 to $830 holds bulk, not weight: the walls run eight feet, so loading means a ramp, a ladder or the rear door, and dense material hits the truck's legal limit long before the rim.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
The 15 yard suits estate cleanouts and downsizing jobs — volume without much weight — and sits in the same driveway slot the smaller container uses.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
A 30 yard takes what a whole house sheds in a remodel — cabinetry, doors, carpet, framing offcuts — for $645 to $715. Same footprint as the 20; the extra capacity is all height.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Moody, AL
For homeowners
A household cleanout fills a container with awkward shapes rather than heavy ones: a sleeper sofa, bagged clothing, the contents of a garage that has been closing on itself for a decade. Bathroom and kitchen remodels add cabinets and torn-out flooring. A 10 or a 20 yard usually sits on a Moody driveway without blocking the garage door.
For contractors
Jobsite loads run heavier than household ones. Shingles, plaster and tile reach the weight allowance while the container still looks half empty, so crews often run a smaller container and swap it out rather than overload one. Stage it where the truck gets a straight shot in and the swaps stay quick.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Moody
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Moody, AL?
Dumpster rental pricing in Moody varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Moody
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $540 – $615 | $325 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $605 – $680 | $225 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $645 – $715 | $185 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $740 – $830 | $225 | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Moody address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (844) 333-5522 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Moody
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Moody dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Moody dumpster costs range from $540 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $830 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
Usually quickly, but it depends on the week. Deliveries are grouped by direction, so how soon a container reaches Moody comes down to what is already on the schedule for that part of the map.
If the project has a firm start date, call a couple of days ahead of it. Same-week drops happen all the time; counting on one without asking first is how people end up waiting.
Most Moody deliveries go on a private driveway and need no permit; the city's permit requirement starts when a container sits on public right-of-way. The City of Moody issues that permit, and outside the city limits the application runs through St. Clair County.
On the street is possible, but only by approval. Moody decides it street by street: a quiet block off 9th Street may get an OK if the container sits tight against the curb and keeps sight lines open, while a busy through route like US 78 is usually not a candidate. If approved, expect to add cones or reflectors and to keep the travel lane, sidewalk, and storm drains clear. The container also has to move if the city needs the street for an event or roadwork.
The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short: paint and liquids, motor oil, fuel, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, medical waste, and appliances that still hold refrigerant.
Everything else from a normal renovation or cleanout is fine. Concrete, brick and dirt are accepted but priced by weight, so mention them when you book rather than at pickup. If you are unsure about an item, ask before it goes over the rail — it is a shorter conversation than an unloading fee.
ZTERS covers all of Moody, a town of subdivisions tucked between lakes and wooded ridges. Monte Bello Estates and Ridgewood Estates are established neighborhoods with mature trees, so a driver watches low branches on the way in. Forest Hills and Twin Lake Estates are newer and more likely to have wide cul-de-sac driveways. Austin Hill is on the route too, and landmarks like Bill Morris Stadium and Moody Municipal Park mean a driver can expect school and ballgame traffic on nearby streets. Drops around Halls Lake and Lake Joyce tend to come with a little more room to maneuver.
Measure the job by its debris, not its square footage. One bathroom or a single room of flooring is a 10. A full kitchen, cabinets and counters included, fills a 20. Whole-floor gut jobs and big cleanouts run to a 30.
The larger sizes share the same footprint and only grow taller, so a bigger container does not need a bigger driveway. The exception is heavy material: shingles, tile, concrete or dirt hit the weight limit long before the container looks full, so mention them when you call and let the tonnage set the size.
