Do I need a permit for a dumpster in AL?

On your own driveway, almost never. On the street or any public right-of-way, usually yes, and the rules are set by the town, not the state. Ask the hauler first; companies that work a town daily know its rules and many pull the permit as part of the job.

What size dumpster should I rent in Alabama?

Companies here publish prices for 10 yard, 15 yard and 20 yard containers. Size is volume, but weight decides the bill. Every rental includes a fixed tonnage and anything over it is charged by the ton. Concrete or roofing hits the limit long before the container looks full.

Size	Typical range, with the median marked	Median	Sample
10 yard	$300 – $350	$335	14 companies
15 yard	$325 – $390	$350	19 companies
20 yard	$370 – $425	$399	23 companies

A 20-yard is the size most people rent, and in Alabama it runs a median of $399, with most companies between $370 and $425. That is 5% below the national median of $419. Most of the gap between states is disposal: haulers pay a landfill by the ton and those gate rates are local, so two companies an hour apart can quote very differently for the same container.
