Real reviews from Chattanooga customers
“We really would have liked for our tarp to have been left as we asked. The driver said he couldn't remove it . My son and husband could have removed it. We bought it brand new on Saturday to prevent everything from becoming rain weighted. We just lost $36. But we will recommend your company.”
“A fantastic company to rent a dumpster from is Value Roll Offs. We use them pretty frequently in Chattanooga for our area of work, and I can attest to the fact that they outperformed their rivals in terms of speed, responsiveness, professionalism, and cost. I would absolutely recommend them.”

Roofing Projects
A typical Chattanooga roof tear-off generates 3–5 tons of shingles and underlayment. A 20–30 yard dumpster handles most single-layer residential roofs, but go with a 30 if you have a multi-layer strip or architectural shingles. Ask your hauler about weight limits — asphalt shingles are heavy and overweight fees in Tennesseecan add $75–$150 per extra ton.
Kitchen Remodels
Kitchen gut-outs produce cabinets, countertops, flooring, and drywall — bulky but relatively light. A 10–15 yard dumpster is usually enough for a standard kitchen demo in Chattanooga. If you're removing tile flooring or concrete countertops, size up to a 20 yard to stay under the weight cap.
Estate Cleanouts
Clearing an entire home in Chattanoogatypically requires a 20–30 yard dumpster. Furniture, mattresses, clothing, and household items fill space fast. Plan for 2–3 loads if the property has a garage, attic, and basement. Schedule a 7–14 day rental so you can sort donations from trash without rushing.
Garage Cleanouts
Most Chattanoogagarage cleanouts fit comfortably in a 10–15 yard dumpster. That covers accumulated tools, storage bins, old furniture, and miscellaneous junk. If you're also tearing out shelving, drywall, or a workbench, bump up to a 20 yard to be safe.
Construction Projects
New builds, additions, and major renovations in Chattanooga generate heavy mixed debris — concrete, lumber, drywall, and metal. A 30–40 yard dumpster is standard for active job sites. Most contractors in Tennessee keep a roll-off on site for the full project duration and swap it out when full.
