What customers say

Real reviews from Knoxville customers

Had an amazing experience with the company. We will be doing more business in the future. If all their employees are like Quentin the delivery driver then this company is doing something right! Quentin communicated perfectly. If I could give him a rating as it would be 10 stars! Amazing employee!

I have used Hard Knox Dumpsters a couple of times. They have always been courteous, prompt and very easy to work with. The owner made away to have a dumpster dropped off early the next day so I could start right away. If I have any need in the future I will be sure to contact them again.

These guys did a good job when I rented a bin for yard work. They dropped it off on time and the container was easy to load. Pickup was quick and they even called ahead to let me know they were on the way, which was helpful. The service was reliable and made the cleanup a lot easier.

What size dumpster do you need in Knoxville?

Roofing Projects

A typical Knoxville 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 Knoxville. 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 Knoxvilletypically 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 Knoxvillegarage 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 Knoxville 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.
