The totals first
Most people want the number before the explanation, so here it is. These are real averages from our own tickets, not estimates.
| Container | Delivered | Average load | Typical total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | $200 | 0.73 tons | about $302 |
| 15 yard | $200 | 0.88 tons | about $323 |
| 20 yard | $200 | 1.58 tons | about $421 |
| 7 yard, fill only | $350 | 5.5 tons included | $350 up to the allowance |
How that adds up
Delivery is $200 on the 10, 15 and 20. Same price whichever you pick, which means choosing a smaller container to save money does not work, and choosing a larger one as insurance costs nothing.
That covers the drop, 1 day on site and the collection. There is no tonnage included and none wasted. Weight is billed separately at $140 a ton.
Why the per ton rate looks high next to other quotes
Published per ton rates around Middle Tennessee tend to sit between $40 and $100, and a nearby competitor advertises $110. Ours is higher than all of them, and the reason is that it is not doing the same job.
Those companies bundle two or three tons into a higher base price. You pay for that allowance up front whether the load uses it or not. Our base is lower and includes no tonnage at all, so the per ton figure carries the whole disposal cost instead of part of it.
The only fair comparison is the total. Industry surveys put a typical roll off rental between $250 and $800, with most jobs landing around $380 to $500. A typical Trash Pandy 20 yard at about $421 sits inside that, and a light load lands well under it.
What else can appear on the invoice
Not much, and all of it is published. Extra days are $5 on the 10, 15 and 20, and $20 on the 7 yard. Certain items carry a disposal fee set by the facility rather than by us:
- Tires, $15 each
- Paint, $10 a gallon
- Electronics, $30
- Televisions, $30
Mattresses and furniture carry no extra fee. They go in with general household junk.
One price across the service area
