Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
ZTERS arranges roll-off dumpster rentals across Macon and the wider Central Georgia region, as well as nationwide. Most orders run through a single point of contact, with support for home renovations, commercial construction, and cleanouts of any size. We have handled thousands of rentals in markets like Macon, and customers can count on clear pricing, quick scheduling, and on-time delivery from our local hauler partners.
Macon sits near the geographic heart of Georgia, where I-75 and I-16 cross and freight, logistics, and steady building activity all meet. Mercer University and the College Hill Corridor keep a constant cycle of rehabs and rental turnovers, downtown and Cherry Street see ongoing storefront and loft work, and the city's historic neighborhoods, places like Vineville, Beall's Hill, and Shirley Hills, carry plenty of remodeling on homes that go back generations. The seasons shape demand too: roofing and renovation pick up through the warm months, and Central Georgia's heavy summer thunderstorms bring their own cleanups. Our team helps you pick and schedule the right container for the job, whether it is a Vineville kitchen rebuild, a College Hill rental turnover, or a long-term commercial site along Eisenhower Parkway. After more than a decade serving markets nationwide, ZTERS holds to the same standard everywhere: the right bin, delivered when promised, at a fair price, with a real person backing the rental from start to finish.
Types of Dumpsters for Rent in Macon
ZTERS offers 9 dumpster sizes for Macon projects, from small cleanouts to large construction jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- No hidden fees — transparent flat pricing
ZTERS' smallest standard. A go-to for heavy debris (dirt, brick, concrete, shingles) and small bath or basement cleanouts on tight Beall's Hill and Intown lots.
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.
Our most-requested size for Macon home renos. Low side walls let DIYers walk debris in for Vineville and Ingleside kitchen and bath rebuilds.
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.
Largest standard roll-off. Built for teardown rebuilds, new construction across the Macon area, and large commercial cleanouts.
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.
Heavy-debris workhorse. Built for dirt, brick, concrete, and roof-tear-off shingles where weight matters more than volume.
Holds 4–5 pickup truck loads or 60–85 trash bags. Generous weight allowance — heavy materials hit the weight cap long before they fill the volume.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits single-room renos and basement cleanouts.
Bridges heavy-debris bins and mid-size cleanouts. Good fit for Tatnall Square Heights and Huguenin Heights multi-room remodels and garage cleanouts with bulky items.
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.
Taller profile (6 ft walls) is ideal for bulky debris. Common for larger Macon home renovations and partial roof replacements.
Holds about 6 pickup truck loads or 80+ trash bags. The 6-ft walls mean heavy or bulky items load best through the rear swing door.
Best for larger home renovations, partial roof replacements, mid-sized construction, and hybrid residential and light-commercial jobs.
More vertical capacity than the 20-yard with a similar footprint. Built for office cleanouts, commercial remodels, and bulky debris.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads. A meaningful step up from the 20-yard for projects that have more bulk than weight.
Best for residential renovations with bulky debris, office and commercial remodels, and large estate cleanouts.
Built for large Macon jobs: full home renovations, estate cleanups, active construction sites, and commercial mixed debris.
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.
Niche size between 30 and 40 yard — when 30 will overflow but you don't want to pay for a 40 you won't fill.
Holds about 10–11 pickup truck loads or 200+ trash bags.
Best for large home cleanouts where furniture and appliance volume drives the need, mid-to-large construction, and whole-house remodels with significant bulky debris.

Frequently Asked Questions
In most cases, no. When the dumpster sits entirely on your own property, such as a driveway, side yard, or a private off-street lot, Macon-Bibb County does not require a right-of-way permit, and that covers the bulk of residential rentals from Vineville to Ingleside.
A permit comes into play when the container has to sit in the public right-of-way, meaning the street, the curb lane, the parking strip, or the sidewalk. Macon-Bibb handles that as an encroachment permit through the Office of the County Engineer, which reviews objects placed in the public right-of-way under the county's streets and sidewalks ordinance. The Office of the County Engineer is located at 780 Third Street, Macon, GA 31201, and can be reached at (478) 621-6660.
Homeowners in HOA-governed subdivisions, or in one of Macon's local historic districts such as the Intown or Vineville districts, should also confirm any association or design-review rules before the bin arrives. Because the exact requirement depends on your address and how long the container stays out, your ZTERS representative can confirm what applies before you book.
Macon dumpster pricing tracks with the size you choose, current disposal fees at area landfills, fuel, and any permit your placement requires. ZTERS pricing in Macon runs from about $370 for a 10 yard up to roughly $640 for a 40 yard, with each container including a set tonnage allowance and a 10-day rental window.
Need it longer than ten days? You can extend the rental for an added fee. Delivery averages around $130 depending on how far the run is, the size of the bin, and fuel at the time. Here is an estimate of ZTERS Macon dumpster prices by size:
| Dumpster Size | Low Estimate | High Estimate | Rental Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $370 | $565 | 10 days |
| 20 Yard | $305 | $480 | 10 days |
| 30 Yard | $330 | $510 | 10 days |
| 40 Yard | $455 | $640 | 10 days |
For most renters the simplest route is to let the hauler handle it. When your placement needs an encroachment permit because the container will sit in the street, curb lane, or on the sidewalk, ZTERS can coordinate the application with Macon-Bibb County, fold the cost into your rental, and line approval up with your delivery date.
If you would rather apply yourself, Macon-Bibb County reviews right-of-way encroachments through the Office of the County Engineer, located at 780 Third Street, Macon, GA 31201, reachable at (478) 621-6660. Apply several business days ahead so the placement can be reviewed before the bin goes down, and be ready to keep the container marked and clear of traffic where it sits in the public way. Permit fees and exact requirements vary by location and duration, so confirm current figures directly with the Office of the County Engineer.
Submitting early matters most for downtown Macon blocks and the denser parts of the College Hill Corridor, where curb space is tight. If you are unsure which permit applies, a brief call with your ZTERS representative can confirm the requirements.
Yes, with the right permit. When there is no practical way to keep the container on private property, Macon-Bibb County allows street placement once you hold an encroachment permit from the Office of the County Engineer. The county's general expectation is that a container goes on your own lot whenever possible, and a street placement is the exception rather than the default.
Once a permit is approved, keep the container clear of fire hydrants, storm drains, driveways, intersections, crosswalks, and bus stops, and mark it so it is visible to drivers at night. Older areas like Beall's Hill and the Intown Historic District have narrower streets and tight curb space, so the county reviews those placements more closely. Central Georgia weather adds a wrinkle too: heavy summer thunderstorms can pool runoff around a curbside bin, so the county may ask that the placement not block drainage.
The easiest path for most renters is to have ZTERS coordinate the permit at booking so the cost is built into the rental and approval matches your delivery window.
ZTERS delivers throughout Macon-Bibb County and across the wider region. Neighborhoods we cover include Downtown Macon and the Cherry Street district, the College Hill Corridor between Mercer University and downtown, the Intown Historic District, Beall's Hill, Tatnall Square Heights, Vineville and the Vineville Historic District, Shirley Hills east of the Ocmulgee River, Ingleside, Huguenin Heights, and the neighborhoods along Eisenhower Parkway and Riverside Drive.
Coverage extends well past the city core to Lizella, Gray, Byron, Centerville, Warner Robins, Bonaire, Forsyth, Fort Valley, and the rest of Central Georgia. If your project sits inside a Macon-area ZIP code, ZTERS can almost certainly arrange delivery. For sites near Mercer University, the Ocmulgee Mounds, or other gated or restricted areas, a quick call with a representative will confirm coverage and any access requirements.
Timing depends on when you order, whether your placement needs a permit, and how booked the local haulers are that week. For private-property drops on driveways, yards, and off-street commercial lots, same-day service is often possible when the order comes in before about 10 a.m. and you have some flexibility on size. Next-day delivery is the more common outcome for orders placed later in the day, and two to three business days is the safe estimate for routine planning.
When the container has to go in the public right-of-way, build in extra time so the Macon-Bibb County encroachment permit is in hand before the truck rolls. Demand climbs in spring and summer with renovation and roofing season, especially around the Cherry Blossom Festival weeks downtown, and a stretch of heavy Central Georgia thunderstorms can occasionally slow a run. Booking a few days ahead gives you the best choice of size, drop window, and placement.
It comes down to the scope of the work and how heavy the debris will be. A single bathroom remodel usually fits a 10 or 15 yard, and the 10 yard is the better pick when you are pulling a lot of tile or cement backer board, since dense material hits the weight cap before it fills the bin. A full kitchen remodel or a primary-bath rebuild typically calls for a 20 yard, which is the size most Macon homeowners reach for. Multi-room renovations and additions move up to a 25 or 30 yard, and a whole-house remodel or a teardown lands in the 30 to 40 yard range. For roofing, a 20 yard handles a single layer of asphalt shingles on most Macon homes, while larger houses or multi-layer tear-offs in Shirley Hills or Ingleside often need a 30 yard.
A few local notes: many Beall's Hill and Intown lots are narrow with little driveway room, so a 10 or 15 yard may seat better than a long 30; older homes in Macon's historic districts may involve lead paint or asbestos that has to be handled separately from your roll-off; and a downpour filling an open container adds real weight fast, so keep the debris below the rim. When you are torn between two sizes, sizing up is usually the better value compared with paying for a second haul.
ZTERS Dumpster Rental Customer Reviews
"Jamie was so sweet and helpful. If I ever need anything in the area again she will be my first call!"
"Aisha was my contact person and she was amazing to work with. What made Aisha amazing was how she checked in on my delivery, in-process as well as removal of the dumpster. Actually, my order did not go 1,2,3 without the help of Aisha. There was miscommunication between myself requesting a longer stay of the dumpster and the call center. In Aisha's follow-up with me she learned that I had called requesting a longer rental of the dumpster which was picked up before my need to keep it longer than the original contract. Aisha went over and beyond by communicating my dilemma to her boss and as a result ZTERS sent back out a dumpster to make right the original order. In closing, I would use this company services again as well as recommend their professional and timely service to friends and family. All this in my favor from the phone conversation being recorded. Thank you ZTERS you have presented customer service to the highest level !"
