A 20-yard dumpster rental costs $625 for 1–14 days or $799 for a month. The price includes two tons of weight, and if you go over that, it’s $95 for each extra ton. There’s also a $20 charge for each extra day past your rental period.
All our driveway-friendly dumpsters come with a full back door that swings open, making it easy to walk in larger or bulky items instead of lifting them over the sides. This design helps load furniture, appliances, or heavy debris straight into the dumpster with less effort, which is perfect for home cleanouts and renovation projects.
You can put most non-hazardous waste in a residential dumpster rental. This includes household junk, old furniture, yard debris, construction waste like wood or drywall, appliances (as long as you're following any instructions for things like refrigerators), electronics for recycling, mattresses, and even bulky stuff like hot tubs. You can’t put anything hazardous in the dumpster—like chemicals, batteries, paint, asbestos, or flammable liquids. If you're unsure about a specific item, it's a good idea to call before tossing it in, just so you don't run into any issues with pickup or disposal.
Choosing the right size construction dumpster depends on how much debris you expect to have. For small renovation jobs or cleanup projects, a 10-yard dumpster is usually enough and holds about 4 pickup truck loads. If your project is a bit bigger—like a small kitchen remodel or replacing flooring—a 15-yard dumpster fits around 6 pickup loads. Renovating several rooms or tackling larger projects usually calls for a 20-yard dumpster, which holds about 8 pickup loads and is our most popular size for construction debris. For major remodels, large demolition, or big construction sites, a 30-yard dumpster is the best choice and can handle up to 12 pickup truck loads. If you’re not sure or your project is unusual, reaching out for advice can keep you from overpaying for space you don’t need or running out of room too soon. Remember to think about what materials you’re tossing and how heavy they might be, since weight limits also matter.

You can keep a dumpster rental for anywhere from 1 to 14 days under standard pricing. If you need it longer, monthly rentals are available too. If you go past your initial rental period, there’s an extra charge of $20 for each additional day you keep the dumpster. This gives you a lot of flexibility if your project takes longer than expected. Just let the team know you need more time, and you’ll only pay for the extra days you actually use.
You can keep a residential dumpster rental for up to 14 days with the standard rental. If you need it longer than that, you’ll be charged $20 for each extra day you keep the dumpster. If you know you’ll need it for a full month, you can also rent it at a monthly rate, which might save you money compared to paying for each extra day.

Same-day and weekend delivery are available for roll off dumpster rentals, depending on scheduling and current availability. It’s best to call or book online early to lock in your spot and confirm details. This way, the dumpster can be delivered when you need it—whether it’s a last-minute project or weekend cleanout.
Each dumpster rental includes a set amount of tonnage in the base price. If your load goes over that included weight, there’s an extra fee of $95 for every additional ton. For example, a 10-yard dumpster includes one ton, so if you go over that, you’ll be charged $95 per extra ton at final pickup. The same rate applies to overweight loads in any dumpster size. All charges for overweight tonnage are clearly outlined up front so there aren’t surprises when you get the final bill.
You’ll probably need a permit if the dumpster has to go on a public street instead of your driveway. Most local governments in Middle Tennessee require a temporary permit to place a roll-off dumpster on public property, like a street or sidewalk, to keep things safe and follow city rules. The process and cost depend on your town or city, so it’s a good idea to check with your local city or county office before your rental. Placing a dumpster on private property like your driveway usually doesn’t require a permit, but public placements almost always do.
When you’re done with your dumpster, just give us a call or send a message—either way works. Usually, giving at least one day’s notice is enough time for us to arrange your pickup, but the sooner you contact us, the better so we can fit you into the schedule that works best. If you need a quick pickup, reach out as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to get it done.
Before your roll off dumpster arrives, clear the driveway or any spot where the dumpster will be placed. Move cars, bikes, or other items so there’s plenty of room not just for the container, but also for the delivery truck to easily get in and out. Mark any low-hanging wires or tree branches that could block access. If your driveway isn’t paved, consider putting down plywood or boards to prevent lawn or dirt from getting rut marks. Make sure the ground is as flat and solid as possible so the dumpster stays level. Check that nothing blocks sidewalks or the road if the container needs to sit partly in a public area. Let everyone at your house or site know the delivery window, so nobody’s caught off guard during drop-off.
An extra delivery fee may apply if your location is outside the main service area. The amount depends on how far your address is from our standard coverage zones in Middle Tennessee. When you call or book online, you’ll get a clear answer about any extra charges before confirming your rental.
Short-term dumpster rentals usually run from 1 to 14 days and are great for quick jobs like cleaning out a garage, attic, or tackling debris from a smaller renovation. The 30-day dumpster rental is meant for bigger or longer projects—think major home remodels, slow-moving construction work, or if you just know you’ll need extra time. For a longer renovation project, the 30-day rental makes more sense because it gives you a full month without the worry of daily overage fees, so you don’t have to rush the job or worry about the dumpster being hauled off before you’re finished. The monthly rental is also a better value for extended use since it’s a flat fee for the whole month, compared to adding multiple extra days onto a short-term rental, which can really add up.
Choosing the right dumpster size usually comes down to how many pickup truck loads you need to get rid of. A 10-yard dumpster holds about 4 pickup truck loads, a 15-yard fits close to 6 loads, a 20-yard handles about 8 loads, and a 30-yard dumpster can take around 12 loads. Take a look at what you’re tossing—if it would fill up, say, 8 pickup beds, the 20-yard option is likely your best bet. If you’re not sure how your project stacks up, give us a call and we can help match you to the right size, so you don’t end up with a container that’s too small or way bigger than you need.
