Dumpster Rental in
Jellico, TN
Roll-off rental for Jellico homes, storefronts and job sites. Pick from 10 to 40 yards — a 10 yard costs $645-$750 and the standard rental runs 10 days, the same process for a one-off cleanout or a repeat contractor.
Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
ZTERS keeps the rental simple. You see the price before you call, you talk to one person instead of a queue, and the container lands on the day you booked. The same goes for homeowners, storefronts and crews.
A 30-yard container is the size that fits most full-house work in Jellico: a cleanout in one of the older coal-town houses, a roof tear-off in the Indian Mountain area, or a remodel where the old drywall and framing come out together. A 20-yard works when the load is lighter—kitchen cabinets, furniture, carpet—and a 10-yard is the short container for one room or a small garage. In hillside houses the debris is often heavier than it looks, so let the weight, not the pile size, pick the container.
Drop-off timing in Jellico is set when you book, so the truck comes on the agreed day and you know the window before delivery. Access from US 25W is usually straightforward, and the same goes for North Main Street; the variable is the last few feet onto the property. Check the approach a loaded truck will take: a paved drive or firm gravel yard is no problem, but a narrow side lot leaves less room to swing the container off the bed. Walk it once before delivery day and look up, because low limbs and service lines stop more drops than anything at ground level.
Dumpster Sizes in Jellico
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Jellico, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
Smallest of the fleet, the 10 yard takes a bathroom gut or one room's flooring without wasting driveway. $645 to $750, and it leaves space for a car beside it.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
Renovation debris — cabinets, drywall, subfloor, trim — is what the 20 yard is built around, at $725 to $840. When two sizes both look right, this is the safer middle.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
The 40 yard is the largest we place, $865 to $980. Demolition volume. Check the approach before you order one, because it needs a long straight run.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
Cleanouts that outgrow a 10 usually land here. The 15 yard adds a third more space without a longer footprint, so a normal driveway still takes it.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
The 30 yard, $765 to $866, is for volume: full-house clearouts, siding jobs, framing scrap. Bulky and light is its business; dense material belongs in a smaller size.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Jellico, TN
For homeowners
For a homeowner, the container usually lands on the driveway and holds a cleanout or a remodel: old furniture, drywall, flooring, the contents of a packed garage. Light, awkward material fills space long before it hits a weight limit, so pick the size by volume and load the big pieces flat.
For contractors
Jobsite debris runs heavier. Shingles, plaster, tile and the mortar bed under it reach the weight allowance while the container still looks half full. Crews on longer builds often run a smaller size and swap it more than once rather than push one load past its allowance, and they stage it where the truck can make a straight approach.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Jellico
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Jellico, TN?
Dumpster rental pricing in Jellico varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Jellico
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $645 – $750 | $295 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $725 – $840 | $480 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $765 – $866 | $505 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $865 – $980 | $610 | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Jellico address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (866) 583-4023 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Jellico
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Jellico dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Jellico dumpster costs range from $645 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $980 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
There is no fixed answer, because the trucks work routes. A delivery lands in Jellico when a truck is already headed that way with room on its schedule, so the honest window shifts week to week.
The reliable move is to call with your start date and ask what the current window looks like. Book a day or two ahead of when you want to start loading and the timing takes care of itself.
Start with what is leaving the building. A 10 covers one bathroom or one room of flooring. A 20 handles a kitchen. Several rooms at once, or an outbuilding full of old storage, is where the 30 earns its keep.
Roofing throws off the usual math because shingles are dense, and the load hits its tonnage cap while the container still looks half empty. The same goes for concrete, brick and dirt. Say so at booking and the right size follows. If you are stuck between two sizes, the price gap is smaller than the cost of a second haul.
You get 10 days from the day it is dropped, which covers nearly every single-project rental with room to spare. Nobody is standing over the clock.
Need longer? Call before the window closes and add days for an additional daily fee. Done early? Call and the pickup moves up, as long as the truck has not already been routed for the day.
As long as the container sits on your own driveway or yard and stays out of the right-of-way, Jellico generally doesn't require a permit. Street placement is what triggers one, so if the dumpster will be on a public street or along the edge of US 25W, check with the City of Jellico before delivery. The city office can tell you the fee and any conditions.
Preparation is mostly about the truck. It needs a firm, level surface, a straight run at the spot, and clear air above it, because the bed rises well above the container height during the drop.
Beyond that: cars off the driveway before the window opens, gates unlocked, and the spot marked if nobody will be home. If the driveway surface is decorative or freshly sealed, lay plywood where the rails will land. A blocked delivery usually costs a trip charge, so five minutes of prep pays for itself.
Your best chance for street placement in Jellico is a quiet residential street rather than US 25W, where trucks and through traffic make approval unlikely. The city will still want the dumpster close to the curb, out of the travel lane, and visible to drivers; you may need to add cones or reflectors and move it for scheduled street cleaning. Approval comes through the City of Jellico office, so check on the street placement before delivery day.
