Heavy material
7 Yard Heavy Material
A different container entirely. Low sides, included tonnage, and a strict limit on what it will accept.
- 5.5 tons included
- 3 days included
- 14 ft long by 7.5 ft wide by 1.5 ft high
- Booked by phone
Takes fill material only: concrete, dirt, sod and asphalt and nothing else. One bag of ordinary waste and the tip refuses the lot. On a run this long that is an expensive mistake, so we book it by phone.
Call (615) 200-0865 Full 7 yard detail| Size | Base price | Days included | Tonnage included | Typical job |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | $200 | 1 | no tonnage included and none wasted | Single room clearout, small bathroom strip out. Roughly about 4 pickup truck loads, based on a standard 2.5 cubic yard bed. |
| 15 yard | $200 | 1 | no tonnage included and none wasted | Kitchen remodel, garage and attic together. Roughly about 6 pickup truck loads, based on a standard 2.5 cubic yard bed. |
| 20 yard | $200 | 1 | no tonnage included and none wasted | Whole house clearout, roof tear off, full renovation. Roughly about 8 pickup truck loads, based on a standard 2.5 cubic yard bed. |
| 7 yard heavy | $350 | 3 | 5.5 tons included | fill material only: concrete, dirt, sod and asphalt. Booked by phone, not online. |
The 7 yard is a distinct product. Tonnage is included because heavy fill is weighed from the beginning, and phone booking allows the load to be checked.
| Variable | Rate | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | $140 per ton | On the 10, 15 and 20 yard, every ton is billed at this rate. The load is weighed on a certified scale and the ticket goes on your invoice. |
| Extra days | Quoted when you ask | Past the days included above. Ring before the collection date rather than after it. |
| Restricted items | Tires $15, wet paint $10 per gallon, large electronics and televisions $30 | These go in the container but carry a disposal fee. Full list on what can go in a dumpster. |
| Wasted trip | Quoted before we dispatch | If the truck arrives and cannot place or collect the container, for example a car in the way or a locked gate. |
This is published on purpose. Brokers cannot name a ton rate because the cost varies with whoever picks the job up.
Straight Pricing In A Rural County
Most of what ranks here are brokers. Booking in, margin out, job forwarded. On a route this long that matters more, not less.
You pay for what you throw away
You pay the ton rate on what you actually threw out. There is no pooled average subsidising heavier jobs.
Schedule changes, same day
A slipped date is a two minute conversation. Given the distances involved here, early notice makes the rescheduling straightforward.
Every rate is published
Nothing is held back for a phone call. The ton rate, the fees and the included days are all here.
Booked, Delivered, Collected
Four steps. Getting the first right matters most on a longer route.
-
Pick a size
Getting this right first time matters on a longer run. Talk it through, or compare them on the sizes page.
-
Book and pay online
Roughly two minutes online. Heavy material is phone only, because the contents have to be confirmed in advance.
-
We place it
Nearly always the driveway. Lots are generous around here so the position is rarely contested, and boards go down before the container does.
-
Fill it, we collect
Call for collection once you have finished. A certified scale sets the weight, and the ticket is attached to what you pay.
Reading A Load Before It Is Loaded
Volume and tonnage fill at different speeds. Heavy material hits the weight first, which matters more when a second haul is a long round trip.
Garage and attic clearout
10 yard
usually well under a ton
Plenty of bulk, very little weight. This is the classic case for paying by the ton. Our own 10 yard mean is 0.73 tons.
Kitchen or bathroom remodel
15 yard
2 to 3 tons, and more once tile or plaster is involved
Weight arrives quietly on these. Tile is 4 to 5 lb per square foot before mortar and backer, plaster about 11 lb per square foot, and a half full container can be at its limit.
Roof tear off
20 yard
2 to 4 tons for a single layer on a typical 2,000 sq ft roof
Weight, not volume, decides this one. Three tab at 230 to 250 lb and architectural at 375 to 430 lb per square give 20 squares x 250 lb = 5,000 lb, about 2.5 tons or 20 squares x 430 lb = 8,600 lb, about 4.3 tons for 20 squares. 5 to 8 tons once there are two layers.
Check the layers before ordering, because a second one doubles the tonnage and on this route a second haul is a longer trip than most. These figures are published material weights rather than our tickets, so use them to plan and phone if it is marginal.

Shelbyville Work We Cover
Each job type has its own page covering sizes and typical weights.
Shelbyville is the furthest point south we cover, which makes planning worth a little more than usual. Bedford County lots tend to be generous, so space for the container is rarely the constraint. Getting the size right first time matters more here, because a second delivery is a longer trip than it would be closer in.

The same rates apply across the area, boundary or not.
Shelbyville is the southern limit of the service area, a longer run than anywhere else on the list. The rest of the route is set out under service areas, and the home page covers what a booking involves.
Questions From Bedford County
Choose a question to open it. The first one is expanded already.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Shelbyville?
No permit is required while the container sits on your own land, which includes the driveway, the lawn and the rear of the property. Permits govern the public right of way, so only a street placement calls for one. Commercial sites can have additional requirements.
City permits are handled by the Shelbyville Building and Codes Department at 100 North Cannon Boulevard. We settle the question before dispatch rather than at the curb. More at dumpster permits.
How much does dumpster rental cost in Shelbyville?
A 10, 15 or 20 yard is $200 to deliver, with $140 a ton on top for the load. Weighed, a normal 20 yard job runs about about $421. No tonnage is folded in, meaning a light load is cheaper in reality.
The 7 yard heavy material container sits outside this structure at $350 including 5.5 tons included, because dense fill is weight priced from the beginning. The breakdown is on the cost page.
How fast can you deliver a dumpster in Shelbyville?
Shelbyville is the longest run we make, so same day is possible but less routine than it is closer to the yard. Next day is usually fine with a little notice. Call if the timing is tight and you will get a realistic answer rather than an optimistic one.
We publish no cutoff time. None is set, and on a route this long an advertised deadline would be a promise with too many exceptions.
What size dumpster do I need for a roof in Shelbyville?
The 20 yard covers most single layer tear offs around Shelbyville. Shingle weight decides it: 230 to 250 lb per square for three tab and 375 to 430 lb for architectural, so a 20 square roof works out at 2.5 to 4.3 tons.
Two courses visible at the eaves doubles it, and out here a second haul is a long trip. See roofing dumpster rental.
What if my job runs longer than one day?
The three standard containers each come with a day. Given the distance involved, call early if the job is running long so the extra days can be quoted and the collection rescheduled properly rather than at short notice.
Where does my debris go after it is collected?
Loads from Shelbyville are tipped at construction and demolition facilities and weighed on a certified scale on arrival. That weight ticket is the figure your per ton charge comes from, so there is a document behind the number rather than an estimate.
So the number behind the charge exists on paper and can be produced on request.
