How we work in Alabama
Local haulers do the work; we hold the contract, own the problems, and send one bill. One agreement can hold roll-off dumpsters, portable toilets, and restroom trailers for every Alabama site. If you’re weighing us against a single hauler, here’s how a broker, a hauler, and our provider network differ.

The network
The network in Alabama
At Alabama job sites, October 26, 2024 through October 26, 2026 · Published figure
Figures are counts of completed deliveries, providers, and accounts in this window from our records, as of October 2026. Roll-off deliveries are containers delivered. Portable toilet deliveries are units placed, not orders. A company that completed both services is counted in both service rows, so those rows are not a split of the provider total. The counts are not a promise that every address is covered. Front-load service, compactors, and balers are not in these counts.
State rules
Alabama rules a buyer should know
What follows is a buyer’s summary of the Alabama rules that change the buy. It is not legal advice, so check the current text and the site’s local ordinance before you rely on it.
Where construction debris can go
ADEM rule 335-13-1-.03 defines a Construction/Demolition-Inert Landfill Unit as an area that receives construction/demolition waste, rubbish, and certain other listed wastes. C&D debris goes to a permitted unit that accepts it. A unit’s permit can be narrower than the rule. Confirm acceptance with the facility before the haul.
Who may haul portable toilet waste
Alabama Department of Public Health rule 420-3-1-.29 says portable toilets shall meet the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 or Z4.4 standards, and a contract with a certified pumper permitted under the septage management rules shall be provided for pumping. Rule 420-3-6-.23 says a sewage tank pumper gets a permit from the local health department where the pumper’s facility is. The Alabama Onsite Wastewater Board FAQ says portable restroom operators, who install, transport, pump, service, and clean portable toilets, must be licensed. Crew counts are on the OSHA portable toilet requirements guide.
A container on a public street
Birmingham’s Department of Transportation manages permits for activities in the public right-of-way, including streets and sidewalks. A roll-off on a Birmingham street is a BDOT permit question. Other Alabama cities set their own rules.
Public disposal cost
The Alabama Department of Revenue lists the state solid waste disposal fee as $1 per ton at municipal solid waste landfills, and $1 per ton or $0.25 per cubic yard at construction and demolition landfills for waste not generated by the permittee. That’s a state fee on disposal, not a customer price. More on disposal fees is in the landfill tipping fees guide.
