The most common question we get. Here is what we would send for the jobs we run most often around Elizabethton and the Tri-Cities. Full dimensions are on the dumpster sizes page, every rate is on the pricing page, and the prohibited items list covers what cannot go in. Planning guides are in our resources section.
Shingles are heavy for their volume, so a smaller container is the right call on most residential roofs – you reach the weight allowance long before you run out of space. More on roofing dumpster rental.
The 15-yard is the same $195 as the 10 but gives you more room, so unless access is tight it is the better choice for boxes, furniture and general junk.
Our most requested size at $295. A 20-yard holds about 6–8 pickup loads, which covers a full house – see residential dumpster rental.
A 20-yard suits a renovation confined to a few rooms. Step up to the 30-yard at $395 once you are stripping walls, floors and ceilings across a whole floor.
Timber, drywall, roofing and general build waste go in together – see construction dumpster rental. The 30-yard measures 22ft x 8ft x 6ft and takes roughly 9–12 pickup loads.
Heavy material is limited by weight, not space, so a 10-yard is usually correct even on a large job. See concrete & heavy debris dumpsters.
The largest we run, at $495 and 22ft x 8ft x 8ft – about 12–16 pickup loads. Right for major construction and for commercial and contractor jobs.
Container Man offers five core services, and most projects only need one call to cover them all.
Roll-off dumpsters in 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40-yard sizes for cleanouts, renovations, roofing jobs and construction debris.
Site prep, grading and digging for building pads, drainage, driveways and general property work, quoted on scope.
Tear-down and haul-off for houses, garages, barns and outbuildings, plus removal of concrete slabs and heavy debris.
Delivered fill dirt for grading low spots, building up a pad site, or backfilling after excavation work.
Shale and driveway gravel delivered and installed, including regrading a gravel driveway that's washed out or rutted.
Container Man is not only a dumpster company. The same crew and the same trucks handle the dirt work, which is why one call can cover both the container and the excavation. See all services, or read the frequently asked questions.
Digging, grading, land clearing and site preparation across Northeast Tennessee, Southwest Virginia and Western North Carolina. We run our own trucks, so spoil is hauled off as the job goes rather than left in a pile. If a site needs building up afterwards we can bring in fill dirt or shale on the same visit. See excavation & grading.
Houses, garages, barns, outbuildings and concrete removal, including partial demolition where you take down one part of a building and keep the rest. On a full tear-down the material goes straight onto our trucks; on a partial job a container on site is usually better. See demolition services.
Fill dirt delivered in our own trucks for building up low spots, backfilling and site prep. Give us the rough dimensions and the depth and we will work out the quantity with you rather than have you over-order. The same crew can spread and grade it. See fill dirt delivery.
Shale for driveway and access-track bases, with gravel over the top. Building a new driveway or repairing one that has washed out? Tell us what the ground is like and we will talk through what it needs, and we can grade it first. See shale & gravel delivery.
Most property owners in the Tri-Cities do not want to spend an afternoon calling around for quotes from a dumpster rental company near them, then a separate excavation contractor, then a gravel supplier. Container Man consolidates that into a single operation that is locally owned and based in Elizabethton.
We run roll-off dumpster rental in 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40-yard sizes on a flat seven-day rate, alongside excavation, grading, land clearing, demolition, and fill dirt, shale and driveway gravel delivery. It all moves on our own trucks, across 19 towns and 10 counties in Northeast Tennessee, Southwest Virginia and Western North Carolina – from Elizabethton and Johnson City through Kingsport, Bristol, Erwin and Greeneville.
A 10 or 15-yard is $195, a 20-yard $295, a 30-yard $395 and a 40-yard $495 – each a flat seven-day rate plus a $225 haul fee covering delivery and pickup. No separate dump fee and no surprise line items after collection.
Roll-off dumpsters, excavation, grading, land clearing, demolition and delivery of fill dirt, shale and driveway gravel – all from the same company, on our own trucks. One call covers the container and the dirt work.
10, 15, 20, 30 and 40-yard roll-off dumpsters, so you are not paying for space you will not fill. Tell us whether it is a roof tear-off, a garage clear-out, a full renovation or construction debris and we will send the right size.
Based in Elizabethton, TN and working daily across Carter, Sullivan, Washington and Unicoi counties. You get a crew that knows the steep drives, tight lots and back roads here – not a national call centre dispatching out-of-town trucks.
Dumpster rental and dirt work across Northeast Tennessee, Southwest Virginia and Western North Carolina, including Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, Erwin, Greeneville, Rogersville, Abingdon and Newland.
Call (423) 431-9267 Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm and speak to someone who can price a dumpster on the spot. Most containers in our primary area are on site within one to two business days.
Tell us the dumpster size, or the scope of the excavation, demolition, fill dirt or gravel work you need.
Dumpster rentals are flat-rate, so pricing is immediate. Other work is quoted on your specific scope.
We work with your timeline as closely as possible across the Tri-Cities service area.
Fill your dumpster over the 7-day period, or let our crew handle the digging, tear-down or delivery.
We return for pickup once you're finished, with the haul fee included in your quote.
Recent work includes excavation and demolition at the Riptide car wash in Elizabethton, tearing down the old Fatz restaurant, and grade work at Weigel’s.
Container Man serves Elizabethton and the entire Tri-Cities region, covering Northeast Tennessee, Southwest Virginia and Western North Carolina.
We deliver to 19 towns across 10 counties. If you are searching for dumpster rental near you, the nearest Container Man container is usually one to two business days away. The region is not uniform – county lines, state lines and mountain access all change how a job runs. Browse every town on the service areas page, or see what customers say.
Our base. Elizabethton is the county seat and the shortest run we make, so this is where we turn containers around fastest – along with Roan Mountain further up the valley.
Johnson City sits across three counties, which is why an address there can fall in Washington, Carter or Sullivan County. Give us the ZIP code and we will confirm it rather than guess. We also cover Gray.
Erwin, Roan Mountain, Mountain City and Newland involve steeper grades and tighter access than a town lot. Tell us about the drive when you book – it changes which container we send.
Part of our wider service area to the west, along with Greeneville and Fall Branch, which straddles the Washington and Greene county line.
We cross into Washington and Scott counties in Virginia regularly – Abingdon, Gate City and Weber City. The flat rates and the $225 haul fee are identical there; crossing a state line does not change your price.

From a single roll-off dumpster to a full excavation and grading job, Container Man is ready to help homeowners and contractors across Elizabethton, TN, and the greater Tri-Cities region. Call Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, to get your quote and get on the schedule.
Elizabethton is in Carter County.
Yes. Alongside Elizabethton we cover Roan Mountain in the same area, and 19 towns across 10 counties in Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina in total. If your address is not listed, call (423) 431-9267 with the ZIP code.
On your own driveway or private property, generally not. For a container placed on a public street the requirements differ by municipality, so call (423) 431-9267 before you book and we will talk it through with you.
The 20-yard at $295 is our most requested size. It suits a full home renovation or a large clean-out and holds roughly 6-8 pickup loads. For a single room or a roof tear-off a 10 or 15-yard at $195 is usually enough.
A 10 or 15-yard is $195, a 20-yard is $295, a 30-yard is $395 and a 40-yard is $495. Each is a flat rate for a full seven-day rental, plus a $225 haul fee that covers delivery and pickup. There is no separate dump fee on top. A standard weight allowance is included in the flat rate and we confirm it with you when you book.
Most containers are on site within one to two business days. Call (423) 431-9267 with your dates and we will tell you honestly what we can make work. We deliver Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm.
The haul fee covers both the delivery of the container to your site in Elizabethton and the pickup once you are finished. It applies to every rental and is quoted up front, so the price you are told is the price you pay.
A standard weight allowance is included in the flat rate. Heavy material like concrete, brick, dirt and shingles adds up far faster than household junk, so tell us what you are loading when you book and we will confirm the allowance and the right size for the job.
Seven days, included in the flat rate. That is a full week from delivery, not a part-day or 48-hour window.
Call us before the seven days are up and we will work it out. It is far easier to arrange an extension in advance than to sort it out after the pickup is scheduled.
Electronics and TVs, tires, paint, batteries, chemicals and hazardous waste, refrigerators and air conditioners containing refrigerant, propane tanks, medical or biohazard waste, and asbestos. These need to go to a dedicated recycling centre or hazardous waste facility. Everything else – household junk, furniture, construction debris and yard waste – is fine.
Yes, but heavy material is usually best in a 10 or 15-yard container rather than a large one, because weight becomes the limit long before space does. Tell us it is a heavy load when you book so we send the right container.
No. The load has to sit level with the top of the container so it can be legally and safely tarped and hauled. If material is stacked above the rail we may not be able to take it that day, so keep it level as you load.
Allow roughly 60 feet of straight clearance in front of the drop spot and around 12 feet of width, plus clear overhead room – the truck lifts the container high to set it down. Low branches and power lines are the usual obstacles.
Roll-off containers are heavy and are set down on wheels and rails. If you are concerned about a finished or newly sealed driveway, tell the driver and lay plywood on the drop spot – it spreads the load and is the simplest protection.
Please do not. Once it is set it should stay where the driver placed it. Moving a loaded container risks injury and property damage, and it may not be positioned for the truck to collect it. If the spot is wrong, call us and we will sort it.
Yes. We work with homeowners doing a one-off clean-out and with contractors running ongoing jobs in Elizabethton. If you need containers swapped as a build progresses, call and we will schedule around your programme.
Yes. We also run excavation, grading, land clearing and demolition, and we deliver fill dirt, shale and driveway gravel. It is the same crew and our own trucks, so one call covers the container and the dirt work.
We deliver and collect Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm, and we are closed at the weekend. Call (423) 431-9267 during those hours and you will speak to someone who can give you a straight answer.
