How the process works

No sign-ups, no online portal, no sitting around for an email reply. You'll have the container size and delivery window nailed down before you get off the phone.

1

Schedule it

Call (931) 544-8340 or tap any button on this page. Describe the project and your preferred date — we lock in the size and placement while you're still on the phone.

2

We drop it off

We place the container exactly where you want it, boards underneath, door oriented the way you requested. You don't have to be there.

3

We take it away

Give us a call or text once you're finished. We come get it and haul everything out, typically the following business day.

Six reasons Cookeville relies on us

Correct size from the start

Describe your project and we'll recommend the right container, including when a smaller one is all you need.

Licensed and insured

Fully covered for residential and commercial projects in TN. We'll send you a certificate if you need one.

Same-day delivery for morning orders

Place your order before 1pm and we can typically have a container in your driveway that same afternoon.

Family-run, never a middleman

You speak directly with the people who own the equipment — not a booking desk in another state.

Your driveway stays protected

Every driver places boards beneath the rails before the container makes contact with your surface.

Full week included

Every dumpster comes with seven days on site, and pickup is a single text message away.

Accepted items — and what stays out

General household clutter and furniture

Asphalt and composition shingles
Boards, plywood and molding
Sheetrock and plaster

Note: yard waste, soil, concrete and brick are too heavy to mix with other debris and require a dedicated heavy-load container — Call (931) 544-8340 and we'll bring the right one.

Family-operated, never a middleman

Gail Highfield has been moving debris around Cookeville for 11 years — first behind someone else's wheel, now running their own operation. When you dial (931) 544-8340, you reach the family that owns the containers, drives the routes and picks up the phone on a Saturday morning.

A lot of dumpster websites are middlemen who hand your job off to the nearest available hauler. We're the crew that actually pulls up.

Straight from our neighbors

“They walked me through exactly where to shift my vehicles so the truck had room to back in, and the container dropped right on the marks we drew.”
Mike T. · Kitchen remodel
“Hired them for a roofing job and came back a month later for a cleanout. Same team both times, same person answering the phone who actually remembers you.”
Angela P. · Roof tear-off
“Sent a text Thursday evening and the container was picked up by Friday afternoon. Simplest part of the entire renovation.”
Sam K. · Whole-home cleanout

Frequently asked questions

How many days can I keep the container?
Every size comes with seven days. If you need more time, call or text us before your scheduled pickup and we'll extend it.
Which size do most homeowners go with?
The 20 yard. It handles a kitchen renovation or a full-home cleanout, and it's the container we drop off most often in Cookeville. If your project calls for less, we'll tell you and bring a 10 or 15 instead.
Is same-day delivery possible?
In most cases, yes — order before 1pm on a weekday and we'll fit you into that afternoon's route. After 1pm you'll be on the earliest run the following morning.
Will I need a permit in Cookeville?
Not if the container sits on your own driveway. If it has to go on a public street, Cookeville requires a right-of-way permit — we'll point you to the right office.
What materials are allowed in the dumpster?
Household junk, furniture, renovation debris, shingles, decking, flooring and drywall. No paint, fuel, tires, batteries or freon-containing appliances. Yard waste, dirt and concrete go in a separate heavy-debris container.
