A straightforward guide for Knoxville homeowners — pick the right size the first time.
The most common question we get: "Which size do I need?" The honest answer — most people overestimate. Here's a simple breakdown so you don't pay for more dumpster than you need (or end up with one that's too small).
The 10-yard is the smallest roll-off we offer and the right call for contained, single-space projects. Think of it as a "one room at a time" dumpster.
Best for:
Starting at $275. Footprint: roughly 12 feet long — fits in most standard driveways.
The 20-yard hits the sweet spot for most residential projects in Knoxville. It's big enough for a full home cleanout but doesn't dominate your entire driveway.
Best for:
Starting at $375. Footprint: roughly 22 feet long — plan accordingly for driveway space.
If you're doing a roofing job, a major addition, or clearing out an entire property, the 30-yard is your dumpster. It's large — make sure you have the space and the project to fill it.
Best for:
Starting at $475. Footprint: roughly 22 feet long and 6 feet tall — the tallest option we offer.
When in doubt, go one size up. A dumpster that's slightly too big costs $50–$100 more. A dumpster that's too small means a second delivery, which costs far more. Most people who call us wishing they'd sized up — nobody calls wishing they'd gone smaller.
If you're disposing of heavy materials — concrete, brick, dirt, tile — weight limits matter more than volume. These materials are dense and can hit the weight cap before the dumpster is visually full. Call us before booking if your project involves mostly heavy debris and we'll help you pick the right size and avoid overage charges.
Tell us what you're working on and we'll tell you exactly which size you need. No pressure, no upselling — just a straight answer.
