Terms of Service

Agreement

These terms govern your use of lvhdumpsterrentalgainesville.com and the rental services provided by LVH Dumpster Rental Gainesville, 344 Northside Dr, Gainesville, GA 30501. By booking a container you agree to them. Last updated September 8, 2026.

Quotes and pricing

Quotes are based on the information you provide about the debris type, volume, weight, location and rental duration. A quote is a flat rate that includes delivery, pickup, the agreed rental period and disposal up to the stated tonnage allowance. Charges may apply in addition where: the load exceeds the agreed tonnage allowance; the container is kept beyond the agreed rental period; prohibited materials are present; the load is filled above the top rail and cannot be legally transported; or a scheduled delivery or collection cannot be completed because of blocked access (a dry-run).

Prohibited materials

You may not place in any container: wet paint, solvents, adhesives, tar or other liquid or semi-liquid waste; motor oil, fuel, engine coolant or other automotive fluids; pesticides, herbicides or pool chemicals; asbestos-containing material; propane tanks, aerosols or any pressurized cylinder; batteries of any type; medical, biohazard or radioactive waste; hazardous waste of any kind; contaminated soil; whole tires; or appliances and other white goods containing refrigerant.

Crossties, landscape timbers and other creosote-treated timber are accepted, but tell us before the container goes on the truck. They are on the Sec. 4-3-9 list the City will not collect, which is exactly why they end up in a roll-off, but they are neither inert material nor yard trimmings, so the load has to be routed to a facility permitted to receive it rather than to an inert site. Declaring them costs nothing; finding them at the gate can cost a rehandling charge.

Georgia’s solid waste rules are set out in Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. Chapter 391-3-4, administered by the Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources under the Georgia Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Act at O.C.G.A. Title 12, Chapter 8, Article 2. Rule 391-3-4-.06, the permit by rule for collection and transportation, requires that vehicles and containers used to collect and transport waste be covered, substantially leakproof, durable and of easily cleanable construction, that contents not fall, leak or spill in transit, and that all waste be deposited only at permitted facilities. Rule 391-3-4-.07 distinguishes three classes of landfill: municipal solid waste, construction and demolition waste at 391-3-4-.07(4)(b), and inert waste at 391-3-4-.07(4)(c), the last of these taking earth and earth-like products, concrete, cured asphalt, rock, bricks, yard trimmings, stumps, limbs and leaves. The class a load falls into determines which permitted facility may lawfully receive it. Two statewide disposal prohibitions apply directly to material this company handles. Yard trimmings are banned from lined municipal solid waste landfills and from municipal solid waste landfills that have received vertical expansions under O.C.G.A. Section 12-8-40.2, effective 1 September 1996, with yard trimmings defined at O.C.G.A. Section 12-8-22(42); vegetative debris is therefore accepted only as a separate clean load and never mixed into a construction load. Scrap tires are restricted under O.C.G.A. Section 12-8-40.1, which prohibits any person from storing more than 25 scrap tires anywhere in the state and bars unprocessed scrap tires from solid waste landfills; the City of Gainesville addresses scrap tires at Sec. 4-3-15 and Hall County at Chapter 8.65. The Hall County landfill at 1700 Oakbrook Drive, telephone (770) 531-6851, publishes a minimum fee of $20 covering up to 665 pounds and $60 per ton above that, and states that it will not accept yard debris, bulk construction debris in the form of concrete or asphalt, bulk polystyrene foam, pressurized tanks, chemical waste, hazardous waste, liquid waste, mobile homes or boats. Those figures are stated as published and not as current rates. Hall County provides no residential curbside collection; its compactor sites accept bagged household garbage in bags of 39 gallons or less together with recyclables, prohibit yard trimmings, tires, liquid and hazardous waste, and exclude commercial haulers who charge for disposal. The City of Gainesville collects weekly under Sec. 4-3-5 but excludes, under Sec. 4-3-9, discarded building materials, dirt, broken concrete, bricks, rock and debris, plumbing fixtures including sinks, tubs, shower stalls and toilets, cabinets, doors, windows, roofing debris, lumber, siding, landscape timbers, crossties, carpet and floor coverings. Clean corrugated cardboard and scrap metal are separated out of loads by this company as a matter of course and routed for recycling; Hall County Code Sec. 8.60.190 separately requires recovery of recyclable corrugated cardboard. This company could not verify a standing Hall County household hazardous waste collection program; paint and refrigerant are handled for a fee at the county landfill, and you should call the landfill before transporting anything chemical. Asbestos is never accepted in any container supplied by this company. In Georgia asbestos removal and encapsulation is regulated by the Environmental Protection Division under Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. Chapter 391-3-14, which requires notification ten working days before a regulated renovation or demolition, an inspection for regulated asbestos containing material by an agent of a Georgia-licensed abatement contractor beforehand, and a fee of $0.10 per square foot plus $0.10 per linear foot of friable asbestos-containing material with a minimum of $25, capped at $50 for residential and small projects and $1,000 for other projects; the duty officer is (404) 363-7026. Renovation of housing built before 1978 is subject to the Renovation, Repair and Painting rule, for which Georgia is an authorized state, the twelfth so authorized, effective 5 July 2011; certification is obtained from the Environmental Protection Division under Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. Chapter 391-3-24 rather than from the federal agency. Burning is not an alternative route for this material: Hall County prohibits the burning of building materials, furniture, plastic, rubber, tires and garbage at any time of year, and a statewide summer open burning ban administered by the Environmental Protection Division under Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 391-3-1-.02(5) applies to Hall County from 1 May to 30 September each year. Mixed construction and demolition loads from this company are taken to a permitted facility. Fees, rules and schedules change — confirm current requirements with the City of Gainesville, Hall County and Georgia EPD if you are unsure.

If prohibited material is found in a container you are responsible for the additional handling, disposal and any penalties incurred.

Placement, access and property

You are responsible for ensuring safe and legal access to the placement location and for obtaining any permit or approval required for the container. Georgia adopts the International Fire Code, 2024 edition, as a state minimum fire prevention code through the Safety Fire Commissioner at Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 120-3-3-.04, under the authority of O.C.G.A. Sections 25-2-13 and 25-2-14. Section 304.3.4 of that code provides that dumpsters with an individual capacity of 1.0 cubic yard, being 200 gallons, or more shall not be stored in buildings or placed within 5 feet of combustible walls, openings or combustible roof eave lines, subject to the exceptions stated in that section. Every container supplied by this company exceeds that capacity threshold, and the five-foot separation is applied on private driveways as well as elsewhere. As a matter of practice this company also places containers clear of the utility meter and of heating and cooling equipment.

Permit responsibility depends on whose right-of-way the container occupies. Hall County contains nine incorporated municipalities of which only four lie wholly within the county, together with substantial unincorporated territory, and the applicable authority depends on the address. Gainesville is an incorporated municipality, the county seat, incorporated in 1821. City Code Sec. 4-4-2(a) provides that no person shall block, flood or otherwise interfere with or impair the use of any public street, road or thoroughfare in the city without first having secured permission from the governing body; Sec. 4-4-2(b) prohibits allowing dirt, silt, sediment or debris to be tracked or deposited into such a street from a parcel within the city; Sec. 4-4-2(c) extends liability to any person who gives or transmits an order or instruction to do so; and Sec. 4-4-2(d) provides that each day a street is blocked is a separate and distinct offense. Sec. 4-4-7 permits the public works director to remove an intrusion into a street or sidewalk at the owner’s expense, and Sec. 4-4-3 requires a permit before any public road, street, alley or sidewalk in the city is dug into or cut into. City Code Sec. 4-3-4 provides that commercial containers must remain on private property unless the governing body grants permission for placement in a public alley, street or sidewalk, and contains an express provision to the effect that persons providing construction or demolition services using their own vehicles, dumpsters or roll-off containers to remove debris from job sites are exempt from the container maintenance requirements of that section. The same section requires a franchise from the city’s governing authority before any person or commercial hauler collects and disposes of solid waste for a fee within the city, and provides that such franchises are nontransferable; in unincorporated Hall County the parallel instrument is a county business license as a sanitary contractor under County Code Sec. 8.60.140. Those are statements of what the two jurisdictions’ codes provide, and questions about how either provision applies to any particular arrangement are for the City and the County respectively. This company is not aware of any permit requirement for a container placed entirely on your own driveway or private property and makes no representation that none exists. Where the address lies in another municipality within Hall County, that municipality administers its own arrangements and must be contacted separately. Where the address lies in unincorporated Hall County, the road is county right-of-way; this company has found no published county provision that specifically names dumpsters or roll-off containers in a county right-of-way and accordingly makes no representation in either direction as to whether such a placement is permittable or exempt. Where a container fronts a state route such as I-985, US 129, US 23, State Route 365, State Route 369, State Route 11, State Route 13, State Route 53 or State Route 60, that road is maintained by the Georgia Department of Transportation rather than by the City or the County. Where a structure lies within a City of Gainesville historic preservation overlay, a Certificate of Appropriateness is required before exterior changes including demolition, and that approval precedes the work the container serves. You are equally responsible for any homeowners association rule, deed restriction or property owner approval that applies. Containers must be kept clear of hydrants, intersections, fire escapes and building egress.

Locates on private property are your responsibility. Call Georgia 811 before anything is dug or demolished. Georgia 811 operates under the Georgia Underground Facility Protection Act at O.C.G.A. Title 25, Chapter 9, Sections 25-9-1 through 25-9-14, which sets an appropriate notice period of not less than two and not more than eight business days before excavation, with the period beginning at 7:00 a.m. on the first business day following receipt of the locate request. You must disclose known hazards including buried utilities, sewer, water and storm laterals, irrigation and well lines, a septic system, a basement walkout, bulkhead or window well the hoist arm must clear, a detached garage, shed or deck in the swing of the arm, a gravel drive that is soft or rutted after rain, a narrow or steeply curving approach, recently poured or already cracked concrete, and overhead service drops or low limbs.

We use protection boards under container wheels and rails on residential deliveries as a matter of course. Even so, the placement of a heavy container on any driveway, gravel pad or paved surface carries inherent risk. The dominant soil across Hall County is the Cecil series, a deep, well drained red clay of low shrink-swell potential which bears well when dry and becomes slick and prone to rutting when wet; a lawn, verge or unpaved surface is not a load-bearing surface for a loaded container after rain, and City Code Sec. 4-4-2(b) makes tracking sediment into a city street an offense in its own right. Where a placement is on or near a lot fronting Lake Sidney Lanier, note that the United States Army Corps of Engineers owns most of the land surrounding the lake in fee title and that its Shoreline Management Plan, together with 36 C.F.R. Part 327 and South Atlantic Division Regulation 1130-15-1, requires authorization for activities including vegetation removal, land formation modification, mowing and general lawn care, chemical application, fires, and excavation or silt removal. This company makes no determination as to whether any particular project requires Corps authorization and directs you to the Lake Lanier Project Management Office on (770) 904-3262, noting that shoreline management is administered by the Mobile District while Section 404 and Section 408 regulatory permits are administered by the Savannah District. Where you direct placement on a specific surface, you accept that risk. We are not liable for damage to driveways, lawns, curbs, aprons, walkways, wells, septic systems, irrigation or underground utilities arising from placement you have requested or approved.

Loading and safety

Do not load material above the top rail of the container. A heaped load cannot be covered, cannot be legally transported, and will not be collected until it is leveled. Distribute weight evenly, and bear in mind that broken concrete, block, brick and mortar reach legal transport weight in a container that still looks half empty. You are responsible for keeping the load below the rails so it can be covered while the container is on site — load heavier debris over lighter, bag insulation, break down cardboard, and cover anything that will take on water or blow out in a high wind, and expect us to secure or collect containers ahead of a forecast storm. Covering is not merely good practice here: Georgia’s permit by rule at Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 391-3-4-.06 requires containers used for collection and transportation to be covered and substantially leakproof, and Hall County Code Sec. 8.60.160 makes it unlawful to convey waste along a public road unless it is adequately covered. Rain adds weight to an open container, and that weight is charged to you at the scale. North Georgia receives on the order of fifty-three inches of rain a year on the 1991 to 2020 normals, spread through the calendar rather than concentrated in one season, so an uncovered container is a predictable overage rather than bad luck; a container that has filled with water may need to be pumped before it can be moved. Wet drywall, carpet, cardboard and insulation gain very substantial weight, and wet red clay spoil is heavier still. Winter is its own consideration: snow averages about 1.9 inches a year and an ice event can take a delivery route out for a day or two, so tell us early if a date is fixed. Do not stand or climb on the container. Keep children and animals away. Containers must not be moved, tampered with, or have doors opened by anyone other than our personnel.

Rental period and collection

The standard rental period is stated in your quote. Contact us when you are ready for collection. If we cannot access the container on the scheduled collection date because of parked vehicles, locked gates or other obstruction, a dry-run charge may apply.

Payment

Payment terms are as stated in your quote. Account customers are invoiced under agreed terms. Overdue balances may attract charges as permitted by law.

Cancellation

Cancel or reschedule with reasonable notice at no charge. A charge may apply where a truck has already been dispatched to your address.

Ownership and title

Containers remain our property at all times. Title to material placed in a container passes to us on collection. Do not place items of value in a container expecting to retrieve them.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from any rental is limited to the amount paid for that rental. We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, including project delay costs.
