Heavy material
7 Yard Heavy Material
A different product, not a smaller version of the others. Low walls so you can load dense material over the side, and real tonnage included because weight is the whole point.
- 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 household trash and the whole load is turned away at the tip, which is why this one is checked before it is scheduled.
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. |

The 7 yard is a different product rather than a smaller version of the others. It carries real included tonnage because heavy material is priced by weight from the start, and it is booked by phone so the load can be checked first.
| 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. |
Publishing this table is the point. A national booking site cannot give you a per ton rate, because it brokers for thousands of independent haulers with different costs. One company with one rate can.
What You Get That A Booking Desk Cannot Sell You
Most results for this search are brokers. They collect your booking, keep a slice, and pass the work to whichever hauler answers first. The company on the invoice is rarely the company on the truck.
You pay for what you throw away
Weight is billed per ton rather than bundled, so a light load costs less. Nobody subsidises anybody else’s remodel.
Schedule changes, same day
A slipped date or an extra day is settled in one call, not a support ticket. On an active site that is the difference between a crew working and a crew standing around.
Every rate is published
The per ton figure, the fees and the days included are all on this page. Nothing is quoted only after you have committed.
Booked In Two Minutes, Gone When You Are Done
Four steps, and only the first one needs any thought.
-
Pick a size
Describe the job on the phone if you are unsure and you will be told when a smaller container covers it, which is the opposite of what a commission-based desk does. Compare them on the sizes page.
-
Book and pay online
Two minutes, any hour of the day. The 7 yard is the exception and goes through the phone, since fill loads get checked before dispatch.
-
We place it
Usually on the driveway, which avoids the street placement question entirely. Drivers use boards to protect the surface and will talk placement through rather than guess.
-
Fill it, we collect
Book the collection whenever the job wraps up. Every load crosses a certified scale and the ticket lands on your invoice, so the weight charge is auditable rather than asserted.
What These Jobs Actually Weigh
Volume fills a container, weight is what you pay for, and the two are not the same. Dense material hits the weight long before it fills the space, which is why the honest answer to “what size” starts with what you are throwing away rather than how big the pile looks.
Garage and attic clearout
10 yard
usually well under a ton
Bulky, light and awkward. Furniture, boxes and old sports gear fill the volume long before they trouble the scale. Our own average 10 yard load runs 0.73 tons, which is exactly the job per ton pricing suits.
Kitchen or bathroom remodel
15 yard
2 to 3 tons, and more once tile or plaster is involved
Heavier than people expect. Ceramic tile alone runs 4 to 5 lb per square foot before you count the mortar bed and backer board, and older plaster is about 11 lb per square foot, two to three times modern drywall. A container half full of tile can already be at weight.
Roof tear off
20 yard
2 to 4 tons for a single layer on a typical 2,000 sq ft roof
The heaviest common job by a distance. Three tab shingles are 230 to 250 lb per square and architectural are 375 to 430 lb, so a 2,000 sq ft roof is 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 in architectural. 5 to 8 tons once there are two layers.
Check the eaves before you book. Two layers means double the weight, and on a bigger roof that is more than one haul whatever container it starts in. Knowing that beforehand is the difference between planning a second collection and having a driver refuse the load on the day. These are industry figures from published material weights rather than our own scale tickets, so treat them as planning numbers and call if your job sits near a boundary.
Our Containers On Real Jobs
Every photograph is one of our own containers on a customer site. Useful if you are trying to picture how much driveway one of these actually takes up before you book.
Murfreesboro Jobs We Run Most
Each has its own page with the sizes and weights for that work.
One thing worth knowing before you plan a haul of your own: the Rutherford County Landfill on Landfill Road here in Murfreesboro stopped accepting construction and demolition material in 2018, and now takes brush and off-the-rim tires only. Turning up with a trailer of remodel debris is a wasted afternoon.
Placement matters more on some sides of town than others. Blackman, on the northwest side, is where most of the newer subdivision building has gone, and on a newer lot the driveway is usually the only placement that works. That is not a problem: a container on your own driveway sits outside the public right of way, which is the thing permits govern.

Murfreesboro Questions, Answered
Tap any question to open it. The first one is open already so you can see how it works.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Murfreesboro?
No permit is needed when the container sits on your own property, which covers the driveway, lawn or back yard. Permits exist to govern the public right of way, so you only need one if the container goes on the street or the curb. Commercial sites can carry extra requirements.
That is why almost every delivery we make is a driveway placement. Murfreesboro handles street and sidewalk work under Chapter 28, Article III of the city code, administered by Building and Codes at City Hall on West Vine Street. If your only option is the street, tell us when you book and we will confirm what is needed before the truck is scheduled. Background on dumpster permits.
How much does dumpster rental cost in Murfreesboro?
A 10, 15 or 20 yard container costs $200 to deliver, plus $140 per ton for whatever you put in it. A typical 20 yard load runs about $421 once the weight is added. There is no bundled tonnage, so a light load costs less than a heavy one.
The 7 yard heavy material container is priced differently at $350 with 5.5 tons included, because concrete and dirt are charged by weight from the start. Every rate is in the table above, and the full arithmetic is on the cost page.
How fast can you deliver a dumpster in Murfreesboro?
Same day delivery is often available in Murfreesboro, though it depends on what is already booked and what is on the truck that morning. Next day is usually straightforward. Call rather than book online if you need it today, because the phone gets you a real answer immediately.
No cutoff time is published because none has been set, and a promised deadline that cannot always be met is worse than an honest maybe. More on same day rental in Murfreesboro.
What size dumpster do I need for a roof in Murfreesboro?
A 20 yard handles most single layer tear offs on a typical home here. Shingles run 230 to 250 lb to 375 to 430 lb per square, so a 2,000 square foot roof lands between 2.5 and 4.3 tons. Two layers usually means a second haul whatever size you start with.
Check the eaves before you book. If you can see two courses of shingles at the edge, plan for double. Detail on roofing dumpster rental.
What if my job runs longer than one day?
The base price covers one day on the 10, 15 and 20 yard. If the job runs longer, call before the collection date and the extra days are quoted then. Extending is cheaper than having the container collected and redelivered, so ring early rather than late.
Where does my debris go after it is collected?
Loads from Murfreesboro stay inside Rutherford County at the construction and demolition facilities here. Nothing goes to Nashville. Every load crosses a certified scale on the way in, and that weight ticket is exactly what your per ton charge is calculated from.
It is also why the weight line on your invoice is checkable rather than something you have to take on trust.
