Dumpster Rental in Southside, AL

Southside sits on the south side of the Coosa River, roughly 8 to 12 miles south of downtown Gadsden, with a small part of the city reaching into Calhoun County. It formed when three farming communities, Green Valley, Cedar Bend and Pilgrims Rest, came together, and it was incorporated in 1957. Wikipedia lists about 9,400 residents at the 2020 census. Call (256) 485-6155 to reach an independent roll-off hauler serving Southside. Gadsden Dumpster Rental is a referral service operated by Recover Profits Now. We do not own trucks or containers; the independent hauler you are connected with quotes the job, delivers the box and hauls it away.

A city of homeowners

Southside stands out for one number: city-data shows only about 7 percent of its homes are rented, compared with 29 percent statewide and about 44 percent in Gadsden. Almost everyone owns where they live, and owners take on projects. The dumpster jobs here are mostly homeowner-driven:

• Additions and remodels. Bonus rooms, sunrooms, kitchen remodels and finished basements. See construction and remodeling dumpsters.
• Roof replacements. A 15 or 20 yard roofing dumpster covers most single-family roofs.
• Outbuildings. Larger lots mean detached garages, barns and shops that get cleaned out or torn down.
• Landscaping and grading. New patios, retaining walls and driveway extensions that produce dirt, rock and concrete.
• Downsizing. Long-time owners clearing a house before a move.

Rural lots and long driveways

Southside still has a lot of the farmland feel that its founding communities had, and many homes sit on larger lots off State Highway 77 and the county roads. That is good news for dumpster placement, since there is usually room, but it brings its own checks. Long gravel or dirt drives can rut under a loaded truck after rain. Many homes are on septic systems, and the truck and box must stay off the tank and drain field. Overhead lines and tree limbs along rural drives can block the truck from tilting its bed. Walk the route with the hauler in mind before delivery day.

Southside Landing and river lots

Southside Landing, on a Coosa River peninsula, has boat launches, kayak rentals and pavilions, and homes on the river side of town see their own kind of projects: dock and deck replacement, boathouse repairs and cleanup after high water. Old dock boards and pressure-treated lumber are bulky, so a 15 or 20 yard box is common. Keep fuel cans, boat batteries and old outboard oil out of the box; most haulers will not take them. Low ground near the river stays soft long after a flood, so pick the firmest spot you have. See our storm and flood debris page for river cleanups.

Storms

Southside crews helped with the cleanup when an EF0 tornado left about 600 trees down around Sardis in 2023. Wooded lots across this part of the county see limbs and whole trees come down in strong thunderstorms. A dumpster for limbs and storm-damaged building materials keeps a cleanup from stretching over weeks.

Sizes and pricing

• 10 yard: patio or walkway removal, dirt from a small grading job.
• 15 to 20 yard: a roof, a deck, a dock or a garage cleanout.
• 30 to 40 yard: an addition, a barn or shop tear-down, or a whole-house renovation.

Typical national-guide prices run roughly $300 to $500 for a 10 yard box and $450 to $850 for 30 to 40 yards. Southside is a longer drive from the Burnsway Drive landfill than in-town Gadsden, so ask whether the quote adds a distance fee. See the cost guide and our disposal rules page.
