Heavy material
7 Yard Heavy Material
A separate product priced on weight from the start. The walls are low so you can load over the side, the tonnage is part of the price, and the rule on what goes in is strict.
- 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. Drop one sack of household waste in and the whole load is refused at the tip, which is the reason this size is arranged over the phone rather than online.
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 | One room stripped out, a small bathroom pulled apart. 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 | A kitchen remodel, or the garage and attic cleared 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 | A full house reset, a roof tear off, a top to bottom 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. |
Read the 7 yard as its own line, not a smaller version of the rest. It carries real tonnage because dense fill is weighed from the first load, and it books by phone so the contents get confirmed before a truck rolls.
| Variable | Rate | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | $140 per ton | On the 10, 15 and 20 yard, each ton carries this rate. The container is weighed on a certified scale and that ticket rides along on your invoice. |
| Extra days | Quoted when you ask | Beyond the days listed above. Phone ahead of the pickup date, not once it has passed. |
| Restricted items | Tires $15, wet paint $10 per gallon, large electronics and televisions $30 | These are allowed in the container but each carries a disposal fee. The whole list sits on what can go in a dumpster. |
| Wasted trip | Quoted before we dispatch | When the truck reaches you but cannot set down or lift the container, say a parked car in the path or a gate left locked. |
This second table is the tell. A booking site cannot publish a ton rate of its own, because it hands the work to a pool of haulers who each price differently. A single operator on its own trucks can put the number in writing.
Four Things That Decide Your Bill
Plenty of the results above are middlemen. They take the booking, hold back a margin, and pass the job along. The name that answers the phone is seldom the name on the truck that shows up.
You pay for what you throw away
Weight is charged by the ton instead of buried in a headline figure. A lighter load costs less, and you are never quietly covering the cost of somebody else’s heavy one.
Schedule changes, same day
Move a date or add a day with one call, not a support ticket. When a crew is standing on a Smyrna driveway that difference is the whole morning.
Every rate is published
The ton price, the fees, the days: all of it is on this page. Nothing appears for the first time after you have already agreed to book.
From Booking To Collection
Four steps, and only the first one asks anything of you.
-
Pick a size
Not certain which fits? Tell us the job and we will say when the smaller box will do. All four sit side by side on the sizes page.
-
Book and pay online
A couple of minutes, at whatever hour suits you. The 7 yard is the one exception and goes through the phone, since fill loads get checked first.
-
We place it
Usually the driveway, and being the home town this is the drop our drivers know best. Boards go under the rails and the position is talked through rather than guessed at.
-
Fill it, we collect
Call for the pickup when the job is done. Every load crosses a certified scale and the printed ticket lands on your invoice, so the weight line can be checked.
The Weight Nobody Warns You About
Room and weight rarely give out together. Heavy material reaches the tonnage well before it reaches the top rail, so the question that actually matters is what you are throwing in.
Garage and attic clearout
10 yard
usually well under a ton
Bulky, light and awkward to stack. Boxes, old furniture and retired equipment fill the space long before they bother the scale. Our own 10 yard runs about 0.73 tons on average, which is exactly the load per ton pricing was built around.
Kitchen or bathroom remodel
15 yard
2 to 3 tons, and more once tile or plaster is involved
Heavier than it looks going in. Ceramic tile on its own is 4 to 5 lb per square foot before you count the mortar bed and backer, and older plaster comes in at about 11 lb per square foot, well past modern drywall.
Roof tear off
20 yard
2 to 4 tons for a single layer on a typical 2,000 sq ft roof
The heaviest ordinary job, and it is not close. Three tab shingle is 230 to 250 lb a square and architectural 375 to 430 lb, so a 2,000 sq ft roof works out at 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 anything else. A second layer doubles the number, and on a bigger roof that can mean a second haul whatever size you begin with. Sorting that out early is the gap between a booked return trip and a driver having to leave the load behind. These are published industry weights rather than our own tickets, so treat them as planning figures and call if your job sits near a line.

Jobs We Run Around Smyrna
Each job type keeps its own page, laying out the right sizes and the weights to expect.
Smyrna is home base, so placement is rarely the sticking point here: the yard is on Old Jefferson Pike and most drops go straight onto a driveway. A container on your own property needs no permit. If the only spot is the public right of way, the Town of Smyrna Building Safety Department at 315 South Lowry Street is the office that reviews it, and we will confirm what is needed before the truck is booked.

The same trucks and the same rates reach every one of them, and an address on a county line changes nothing.
Smyrna is where the yard lives, which makes it the quickest turnaround on the map and the reason same day is realistic more often than not. The full list of towns we reach is on the service areas page, and the main site walks through how the whole operation is run.
Smyrna Questions, Answered
Tap a question to open it. The first is already open as a prompt.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Smyrna?
No permit is needed while the container sits on your own property, and that covers the driveway, the lawn and the back yard. A permit only comes into it when the container has to sit on the public right of way, meaning the street or the curb. Commercial addresses can carry extra conditions.
Inside the town limits that review sits with the Town of Smyrna Building Safety Department at 315 South Lowry Street. Being the home yard, almost every drop we make in Smyrna is a driveway placement anyway. If the street is your only option, say so when you book and we will confirm with the town first.
How much does dumpster rental cost in Smyrna?
A 10, 15 or 20 yard is $200 to deliver, then $140 for each ton that ends up inside. Weighed out, a normal 20 yard job comes to about about $421. No tonnage is bundled in, so a lighter load genuinely lands lower.
The 7 yard heavy material container runs on a different basis at $350 with 5.5 tons included, because dense fill is priced by weight from the first pound. The full arithmetic is on the cost page.
How fast can you deliver a dumpster in Smyrna?
Smyrna gets the quickest turnaround we run, because the yard is right here in town, so same day is on the table more often than anywhere else we serve. It still depends on what is already loaded that morning, and next day is rarely a problem.
Call rather than use the form if you need it today, since the phone settles it in a minute. We do not advertise a cutoff time, because none has been fixed and a deadline with quiet exceptions is worse than an honest maybe.
What size dumpster do I need for a roof in Smyrna?
A 20 yard handles most single layer tear offs on a typical Smyrna house. Shingle weight runs 230 to 250 lb to 375 to 430 lb per square, which puts a 2,000 square foot roof somewhere between 2.5 and 4.3 tons. Two layers change the picture completely.
If two courses of shingle show at the edge, plan for double the weight. More detail is on roofing dumpster rental.
What if my job runs longer than one day?
One day is included with the 10, 15 and 20 yard. If the work overruns, phone before the collection date and the extra days are quoted at that point. Holding the container always works out cheaper than a pickup followed by a fresh delivery, so an early call is the one that saves money.
Where does my debris go after it is collected?
Smyrna loads stay in Rutherford County and go to the construction and demolition facilities here rather than making the trip up to Nashville. Each one is weighed over a certified scale as it arrives, and that printed ticket is the figure your invoice is built on.
It also means the weight line is something you can question and check back against, not a number you simply have to take on trust.
