Dumpster Rental in Attalla, AL

Attalla borders Gadsden on the west side and is one of the oldest towns in Etowah County. It was incorporated in 1872, formally took the name Attalla in 1892, and grew up as a railroad and mining center where several Louisville and Nashville lines met. Around 5,800 people lived there at the 2020 census. US 11 runs through the middle of town as Third Street, US 278 and US 431 carry traffic about five miles east to downtown Gadsden, and Interstate 59 passes right by. Call (256) 485-6155 to reach an independent roll-off hauler serving Attalla. 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.

Older homes and estate work

City-data lists the median Attalla house as built around 1964, and about 72 percent of homes are owner-occupied, compared with only about 56 percent in Gadsden. In practice, that means many Attalla houses have stayed with the same families for decades. When they change hands, the work usually starts with a full estate cleanout and moves on to a remodel. Expect old paneling, plaster, layered flooring and sometimes a second roof over the first. Some materials from that era contained asbestos, so test suspect flooring or siding before you tear it out.

Downtown Attalla buildings

The heart of Attalla is an older commercial district along the rail line and US 11, with buildings like the 1925 post office, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Older storefronts that get renovated for new shops, offices or apartments produce plaster, brick, old wiring and fixtures. Downtown placement takes planning: street parking is tight, sidewalks are narrow and the truck needs a straight line to set and lift the box. If the container has to sit on the street, ask Attalla City Hall first whether approval is needed.

Big Wills Creek and storm cleanup

Big Wills Creek flows southeast through Attalla on its way to the Coosa, and low ground near the creek is where heavy rain shows up first. When the Coosa ran over flood stage at Gadsden in February 2019, Brooke Avenue in Gadsden was underwater at the Big Wills Creek bridge, just downstream. After high water or a wind storm, a storm debris dumpster handles soaked carpet, drywall and limbs. Attalla also sent help to the Sardis area after the 2023 EF0 tornado there, a reminder that the whole county shares its cleanups.

Where Attalla's waste goes

Attalla has a direct connection to the county's waste system: Noble Hill Landfill, the Subtitle D landfill that takes household, commercial, industrial and construction waste from much of the county, is on Noble Hill Road in Attalla. The 2024 Etowah County Solid Waste Management Plan lists Arrow Disposal as the household trash hauler for Attalla, so Gadsden's curbside rules do not apply here; ask Attalla City Hall about bulky items. Remodeling and roofing debris from a roll-off goes to a construction and demolition site such as Noble Hill or the City of Gadsden's Burnsway Drive landfill, depending on the hauler.
