The list splits Two in town and 2 travelling in. Northside Dumpster Service holds the best rating at 5.0, while RUMSEY ENVIRONMENTAL has the most reviews behind it with 99. All 4 publish rates on their own websites, which is unusual and makes this an easier town than most to compare without picking up the phone. The sizes advertised in Tuscaloosa are 10, 15, 20 and 40 yard. For anything outside that, ask what they can bring, or widen to the nearby towns below.
How much does a dumpster cost in Tuscaloosa, AL?
Updated regularly. Based on 11 published prices from 4 of the 4 companies serving Tuscaloosa.
| Size | Median price | Range | Included weight | Included days | Companies |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 yard | $375 | $320 to $390 | ask | 7 days | 3 |
| 20 yard | $400 | $350 to $420 | ask | 7 days | 3 |
Weight and days are the local medians among companies publishing those terms; "ask" means fewer than two local companies state it. Over the allowance bills per ton, so the weight column is the one that separates two similar prices.
These are rates each company publishes on its own website, collected by our crawler and not confirmed with the owner. They're a starting price for the container and the haul. What lands on top of it is weight over the allowance, any permit the town requires, and days past the rental period. Ask for the all-in figure before you book.
