Real reviews from Nashville customers

Bin There Dump That, is amazing. We got their largest dumpster for a garage clean out. They were very professional and helpful! They were available when I had questions after the fact and quite frankly some of the nicest people I’ve worked with in a long time. We will definitely use them again.

We had a great experience with Mobile Attic. The dumpster was delivered right on time and placed exactly where we needed it. The whole process was smooth from start to finish. The team was friendly and professional throughout. Highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable dumpster service!

What size dumpster do you need in Nashville?

Roofing Projects

A typical Nashville 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 Nashville. 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 Nashvilletypically 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 Nashvillegarage 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 Nashville 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.
