Goldilocks was onto something. The dumpster you order needs to be ‘just right’, not too big, not too small, but ‘just right’. Selecting the appropriate dumpster size is an important factor when you order, maybe the most important. If you order a dumpster that’s too large, you waste money because you didn’t even come close […]
How To: Proper Leftover Paint Disposal
May 21, 2015 by
What do you do with old paint and varnish cans with product still in them? This question comes up every spring when homeowners get Spring Fever and start cleaning out basements and attics. We are no different at Atlas. My wife and I decided to take on this paint removal task as we hopefully prepared […]
When is a deal not a deal?
February 8, 2015 by
Answer: When it costs you more than you anticipated. Our 10 yard dumpster is $240 inclusive of all fees. A bagster is $29 for the bag and $129 for the pickup, which totals $158. But the Bagster only holds 3 yards. Just on that comparison alone, you are making a costly decision. Our 10 yard […]
Limited routes
February 11, 2014 by
We are continuing to service dumpster customers that have stops south of the Roswell/Woodstock lines extending east and west on into metro Atlanta as there are clear roads. North of that line it gets a little hairy and we are without the Bartow County Landfill as a disposal option due to it closing. We are […]
The New Cans Are Here! The New Cans Are Here!
June 28, 2013 by
First shipment of brand new dumpsters have arrived! This is the best they will ever look. Chris has them off the flat bed, entered into inventory and I think a couple are already spoken for by customers. We received 4 20s and 2 30s in this shipment. We are very excited.
New dumpster production is progressing nicely
June 21, 2013 by
We mentioned back in May that we were purchasing some new 20 yard and 30 yard dumpsters. I’ve attached two photos, one of a 20 yard dumpster still in production and the second one of a primed 30 yard dumpster waiting for its application of “Atlas Blue” paint. We are very excited and can’t wait […]
Atlas Lends a Hand to the Lifecycle Building Center
June 7, 2013 by
Atlas Demolition, affiliate of Atlas Disposal, sent its skid steer aka “bobcat” to 1116 Murphy Ave, Atlanta to spread recycled, crushed concrete, granite, brick and block free of charge ‘for the cause.’ Great friend, Adam Deck, got us involved early on with this worthy non-profit. It is a classic win-win for us and them. We […]
Monopolies still exist
June 5, 2013 by
I had a very painful conversation with the City of Riverdale today. We are proposing to perform a demolition job with our own equipment; excavator, roll-off dumpsters and trailers to haul the trash. I downloaded the demolition permit from the City’s web site only to find they have an exclusive disposal arrangement (monopoly) with Republic […]
New dumpsters on the way!
May 15, 2013 by
We are doing something we haven’t done in 7 years – buying NEW dumpsters aka roll-off containers. For the past four years we have bought only used dumpsters from companies that had already gone out or were rapidly on their way out of business. We are buying eight (8) 30 yard roll offs and four […]
New Website
October 17, 2012 by
Welcome to our new website! We needed to get with the times and provide a web site that was viewable and actionable via computers, smart phones and tablets plus we needed to add a store for online rental of dumpsters. I had bought the module to install a storefront on our existing web site but […]
