We have been running boxes into Gurley since the early days of this company, and the routes are second nature by now. Gurley is a small town in eastern Madison County along US-72, sitting at the foot of Keel Mountain where the Tennessee Valley starts to give way to the mountains toward Scottsboro. It's a quiet, close-knit farming community that still functions as a gateway stop between Huntsville and the Sand Mountain area.
Gurley sits east, in Madison County. Because we run out of a yard in Huntsville rather than a depot two counties away, Gurley sits on a route we already drive — which is exactly why we can quote a flat rate without padding it for mileage. It makes no difference to us whether you are booking a basement clear-out, a re-roof or a concrete tear-out. Same call, same flat quote, same care with your driveway.
Booking a dumpster in Gurley without the usual hassle
Gurley's rural setting means longer driveways and more outbuildings than in town, so we plan for extra room to maneuver the truck when we schedule a drop here.
- Local dispatch. You speak to someone in Huntsville who can picture Gurley's streets, not a call center reading a script.
- Flat-rate quotes. Delivery, the rental window, the tonnage allowance and pickup in a single number.
- Boards under every box. Not an upsell, not something you have to ask for — it is simply how we place a container in Gurley.
- Honest sizing. If a 15 yard will do the job, we will not sell you a 30.
- Licensed and insured in Alabama. Certificates on request for GCs, property managers and HOA boards.

Which dumpster size suits Gurley properties
For a typical Gurley cleanout or remodel, a 20 yard is the safe default and a 15 often does the job for less. The moment concrete, dirt or masonry enters the picture, drop to a 10 yard — weight, not volume, is what stops you. Here is the full range:
| Size | Dimensions | Holds roughly | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | 14 ft × 7.5 ft × 3.5 ft | About 3 pickup-truck loads | Small cleanouts, roofing shingles, concrete and dirt, garage purge |
| 15 Yard | 16 ft × 7.5 ft × 4.5 ft | About 4–5 pickup-truck loads | Kitchen or bath remodel, flooring projects, roofing tear-off, yard work |
| 20 Yard | 22 ft × 7.5 ft × 4.5 ft | About 6 pickup-truck loads | Whole-house cleanout, larger remodel, roofing up to about 50 squares, landscaping |
| 30 Yard | 22 ft × 7.5 ft × 6 ft | About 9 pickup-truck loads | Whole-house projects, commercial cleanouts, new-build construction |
| 40 Yard | 22 ft × 7.5 ft × 8 ft | About 12 pickup-truck loads | Major demolition, large construction sites, commercial fit-outs |
No need to guess at it. Our sizing guide spells it out step by step, or call (938) 666-6548 and skip straight to the answer.
Permits, placement and local rules in Gurley
If it fits on your lot, the Gurley municipal side of this is a non-issue. If it has to go on the street, you are into right-of-way permit territory and you need to start that process early. Gurley is its own separately incorporated Alabama city or town with its own council, so it handles street or sidewalk placement through its own street-occupancy permit process — entirely independent of Huntsville's own Engineering Division Street Cut Permit process, which only applies inside Huntsville's own city limits. Alabama state rules apply on top no matter which city, town or unincorporated area you are in — Alabama's statewide solid-waste rules covers those (including the state's Waste Tire Recycling Act, which bars whole tires from an ordinary landfill load, along with lead-acid batteries and used oil). Alabama does not have a statewide landfill ban on electronics the way some states do, but Alabama's voluntary E-Cycle Alabama program is still the better route for computers, monitors and TVs, and most local landfills won't take them mixed into an ordinary load anyway. Both are explained properly in our permit walkthrough and our guide to what Alabama lets you throw away.

FAQs
Dumpster rental in Gurley — your questions
Do you deliver dumpsters to Gurley?
Yes — Gurley is a regular part of our US-72 route east of Huntsville. As its own incorporated Madison County town, it runs its own street-occupancy permit process independent of Huntsville's.
How quickly can you deliver a dumpster in Gurley?
Our yard is on 3015 Governors Dr SW in Huntsville, roughly 25 minutes from Gurley, so most orders placed before noon on a weekday go out the same day. Anything booked a day ahead we can usually schedule to a morning or afternoon window that suits you. Call (938) 666-6548 and we will tell you honestly what is achievable today rather than promising a slot we cannot hold. See our same-day dumpster service for how it works.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Gurley?
If the container sits entirely on your own driveway, yard or private lot, no permit is needed — that covers the large majority of our Gurley deliveries. Placement on the public way (street or sidewalk) is what can trigger one, and the office that handles it depends on where Gurley sits: Gurley is its own separately incorporated Alabama city or town with its own council, so it handles dumpster permits through its own street-occupancy permit process, entirely independent of Huntsville's own Engineering Division Street Cut Permit process, which only applies inside Huntsville's own city limits. Confirm the current fee and process directly with whichever office applies, and allow lead time rather than expecting same-day approval. Our Huntsville permit guide walks through Huntsville's own process in detail as a point of reference.
What can I put in a dumpster in Gurley?
Household junk, furniture, roofing debris, flooring, drywall, clean wood and general construction or demolition material all load without issue. The exclusions come from state disposal rules and landfill acceptance policy, not from us: paint, fuel, oil, chemicals, solvents, lead-acid batteries and tires have to be kept out under ADEM's solid-waste rules, and TVs and computer monitors are best routed to a certified e-waste recycler even though Alabama, unlike some states, has no statewide landfill ban on electronics — asbestos is a hard no in any container. Alabama e-waste recycling options has the local drop-off details. Our Alabama prohibited-items guide has the complete rundown for Gurley and everywhere else we serve.
Will the dumpster damage my driveway in Gurley?
Only if it's dropped carelessly, and we don't drop them carelessly. Boards go under the rails and rollers on every Gurley delivery, which spreads the container's weight instead of letting it rest on four small points. A fair number of older driveways in this part of Madison County already have a hairline crack or a slightly low corner before we ever arrive, and we walk that with you up front so there's no dispute afterward about what was already there. More on the process in our placement and surface-protection guide.
Do you deliver dumpsters to Gurley during severe weather season?
Yes, year-round — the thing to plan around in Gurley is the Tennessee Valley's real seasonal pattern: north Alabama sits in Dixie Alley, and severe thunderstorms and tornadoes are the actual hazard, heaviest in spring with a secondary bump in November, not river flooding or ice. Harvest, just up the road, took an EF5 tornado on April 27, 2011 and two F5 tornadoes on April 3, 1974 — real history for this exact area. We track watches and warnings and will shift a delivery time rather than send a driver out under a tornado warning, and boards go down under the rails on every drop regardless of season. See our severe weather delivery guide for more.
