About Trash Pandy

Family Owned
Locally Approved

A veteran owned dumpster rental company working out of Smyrna, Tennessee. Call during the day and you will get William, whose name is on the paperwork and whose face is on the door.

Why we do it

Our Mission

Renting a dumpster should be the easiest part of your project. Pick a size, know what it costs, and have it show up when somebody said it would. That is the whole job, and it is remarkable how often it goes wrong. We built this company to do that one thing properly, and to answer the phone when you call about it.

Community Focused. Born To Serve.
How it started

Our Story

Trash Pandy started with storm cleanups. William Shackelford spent years volunteering on them around Middle Tennessee, and what he kept running into was the same problem every time. Neighbours had a mess they could not move on their own, and getting a container to the property was harder and more expensive than the work of filling it.

So he bought a truck and a container and started solving that part himself. The company grew out of the cleanups rather than out of a business plan, which is why it still runs the way it does. Most days the work is a Rutherford County driveway, a garage that got away from someone, or a contractor who needs a 20 yard on site before the crew arrives.

Who you are calling

Meet William

William Shackelford is a United States Air Force veteran and the owner of Trash Pandy. He is also, most days, the person who picks up the phone, and he replies to every Google review the company gets, including the ones that arrive at ten at night.

He is not doing it alone. There is a crew, and the drivers get named in customer reviews often enough that it has become a running theme. But when something goes sideways on your job you are talking to the person who can actually move a truck, not a call centre three states away.

That is the practical version of what veteran owned means here. It is who answers, and what happens after they do. Get in touch and you will see.

What we actually do

Our Expertise

One service, done properly, in three shapes. If your job fits none of them, call and describe it.

Household And Cleanouts

Garages, basements, estates and the shed nobody has opened in years. Furniture, mattresses and general junk all go in the standard containers. A 10 yard or 15 yard covers most of them.

Construction And Remodels

Roofing tear offs, flooring, framing waste and full renovation debris on residential and commercial sites. See construction debris, roofing, or the 20 yard for bigger runs.

Heavy And Fill Material

Concrete, dirt, sod, brick and asphalt weigh several times what household waste does, so they need a low walled container and a different price. That is the 7 yard heavy material container, booked by phone.

What we hold to

Core Values

Four things we do not negotiate on, whoever is calling.

Answer The Phone During the day you get a person who knows your job, not a queue.
Price It Up Front The rate, the days and the per ton charge are published before you book. See the numbers.
Turn Up When We Said A delivery window is a commitment. If it slips, you hear it from us first.
Leave It Better The driveway looks the same after collection as it did before.
Where we started

Community Work

The storm cleanups came before the company and they are still the reason it exists. When weather goes through Middle Tennessee the debris does not sort itself out, and the people worst hit are usually the least able to pay somebody to shift it.

Trash Pandy is a member of the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce, which is a small thing but a checkable one. You can look up the listing without taking our word for it.

We serve Murfreesboro, Smyrna and the counties around them. Full list on service areas.

Tanner Glass5 reviews
I had a 5 star experience even though I did not utilize their service. Fortunately for them their business is booming so they were understandably not available for the next day delivery I was asking for. However, the person I was communicating with was so helpful in referring me to a friend of theirs business for help.
