Can you deliver to a site with no one there?

Yes. Give us the drop location, gate code if any, and where you want the door facing. We send a photo when it is placed.

How fast can you swap a full container?

Usually the same day if you call before noon, otherwise next morning. For long jobs we schedule swaps in advance.

What about a dumpster in the street for a downtown job?

Augusta treats it as an obstruction of the right-of-way. A Permission to Impede Right of Way request goes to the Engineering Department’s Traffic Division with the dates, a 24-hour contact, a traffic-control detail and proof of insurance; the Traffic Division (706-821-1847) is notified 24 hours before and after; City Code wants a light on it overnight and caps it at five feet beyond the curb, with fines up to $1,000 a day for an unpermitted obstruction. We help with the paperwork.

Do you take roofing shingles?

Yes, in a 15 or 20-yard container sized for weight. Tell us the square footage and the number of layers.

Construction Dumpster Rental in Augusta, GA

Paul of Garden City Dumpsters in a hard hat with a clipboard beside the roll-off containers

Construction dumpster rental is the core of what we do. Garden City Dumpsters keeps 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40-yard roll-offs moving between job sites across the CSRA: new builds in Grovetown, Evans and Martinez, renovations in Summerville, Olde Town and Harrisburg, roofing tear-offs after every summer storm, and demolition from garages to whole houses.

Contractors call us because we answer the phone at any hour, we turn swaps around fast, and the price we quote is the price on the invoice: one flat rate per haul with the weight allowance stated up front.

Sizing construction debris

Weight decides the size on a construction job. A gut renovation, a new build or a fit-out produces bulky, light debris, so a 30-yard is the usual container and a 40-yard the choice on a big site. Roofing shingles, plaster, concrete, block and brick are heavy: they go in 10, 15 or 20-yard containers, loaded level with the rail, so the truck stays within its legal weight. Mixed loads are fine; tell us the rough split and we will pick the box. Our size guide has the dimensions and allowances.

Demolition permits and asbestos in Augusta

Demolition in Augusta goes through Planning and Development at 535 Telfair Street, Suite 300, (706) 821-1796, with License and Inspection on (706) 312-5050 and applications through the City’s CityView portal. The City asks for a residential demolition to be completed within 45 days of starting, for the licensed disposal facility to be named on the form, for utilities to be disconnected, and for an asbestos survey and a notice of intent to Georgia EPD (404-363-7026) beforehand; Code Enforcement inspects on 706-312-5049. In the Downtown, Summerville and Olde Town historic districts the Historic Preservation Commission must issue a certificate of appropriateness before any demolition, and demolishing without one is treated as a high and aggravated offence.

Georgia EPD applies the federal asbestos rules to every demolition, whether or not asbestos is present: a thorough inspection, a notification ten working days before the work, and for renovations a notification once the asbestos exceeds ten linear or square feet, with fees on a sliding scale. Asbestos goes to the landfill only sealed, labelled and by arrangement; it never rides in a mixed load.

Where construction debris goes

Our construction and demolition loads go to the Augusta Solid Waste and Recycling Facility on Deans Bridge Road in Blythe (Monday to Friday 6 to 4, Saturday 7 to 11, (706) 592-3200), which takes construction debris, inert material, metal and household waste at posted per-ton rates, with clean inert material (soil, concrete, asphalt, brick) priced below mixed debris. Columbia County jobs can also go to the Sample and Son landfill on Columbia Road in Grovetown. The City’s curbside bulk collection will not take construction debris, and Grovetown requires every construction lot to keep a container on site, so a roll-off is the practical route for any real quantity.
