What We Take
WasteMatch takes furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, hot tubs, exercise equipment, yard waste, construction debris, and full-property cleanouts. We cannot take hazardous materials - paint, solvents, motor oil, fuel, pesticides, asbestos, medical waste, or pressurized tanks - because those are regulated and must go to a household hazardous waste facility.
Dumpster Rentals
WasteMatch rents 10, 15, 20, and 30-yard dumpsters starting at $295, plus dump trailers starting at $395, and every rental adds a $59 base service fee - so a 10-yard dumpster totals $354. Every rental includes a 7-day period with extra days available for a flat daily fee, and you pick your delivery date, pickup date, and placement online.
For Haulers
Joining the WasteMatch hauler network is free - no subscription and no per-lead fees. You see the guaranteed payout before accepting any job, keep 100% of customer tips, and get paid within same day to two days after completion. You need a valid ID, a hauling vehicle, a passed background check, and commercial general liability insurance.
The WasteMatch Team — Atlanta haulers & dispatchers
WasteMatch was built by people who did the removals themselves — one pickup truck and a borrowed trailer, hauling junk for Atlanta neighbors on nights and weekends. We started the platform to fix what we kept running into: vague estimates, no-shows, and week-long waits. Our team runs dispatch and the hauler network, and sets the pricing and payout standards every job on WasteMatch follows.
We review every FAQ answer against current EPA guidance and City of Atlanta disposal rules.
