At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Bartlett, Tennessee, and the wider Shelby County suburbs in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Brick ranch houses from the 1970s and 1980s being opened up and re-roofed, new building along the Appling Road and Stage Road corridors, and commercial construction and tenant work around Bartlett Station all keep roll-off containers in steady demand here.
Your cost follows four things: which size you take, the weight and type of the debris, how long the container stays, and what the receiving site charges for the material. The sections below cover our price ranges, how Bartlett and Shelby County handle containers, what has to stay out of the load, and how soon we can have one dropped.

The prices below reflect average ranges for a standard five-day rental period. Your account manager will confirm tonnage, overage rates, and other project specifics during your free, custom quote.
| Size | Average Price Range | Approximate Dimensions | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Yard Dumpster | $399–$499 | 12' L × 8' W × 3.5' H | Concrete, brick, and heavy debris; small cleanouts; single-room remodels |
| 15-Yard Dumpster | $449–$569 | 16' L × 7.5' W × 4–5' H | Garage cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, small roof tear-offs |
| 20-Yard Dumpster | $499–$649 | 22' L × 7.5' W × 4.5' H | Whole-home cleanouts, multi-room renovations, flooring removal, roofing |
| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |
| 40-Yard Dumpster | $699–$899 | 22–24' L × 8' W × 8' H | Commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts, large-scale construction |
Size drives the quote, and in Bartlett most residential drives and most commercial pads will take anything we carry, so the choice really is about the job rather than about access.
Weight is where a Bartlett quote changes shape. A full re-roof puts several tons of shingles in a small footprint, and brick, mortar and concrete from a patio or a chimney do the same. Dense material belongs in a 10-yard or 15-yard container, and telling us what it is keeps overage charges off your invoice.
The third factor is that the City takes none of this at the curb. Bartlett's Solid Waste Division collects household carts and heavy household items, and it does not run container service of any kind, so a remodel or a tear-down has to be handled privately from the start. That is not a hurdle, it is simply how the City has set things up.
The fourth is disposal. Shelby County's public drop-off sites are written for households, and a contractor load goes to a permitted private disposal site instead. What that site charges for your particular material is part of the price, and your account manager will have it confirmed before you commit.

Think in two steps: how much space the debris will fill, then how much it will weigh. We can arrange all five sizes into Bartlett.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest and the right home for heavy material. Brick, block, concrete, soil and a single bathroom tear-out all suit it.
The 15-Yard Dumpster takes a cleared garage, a kitchen gut, or a shingle tear-off on a modest roof, and it sits easily on a suburban driveway.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Bartlett homeowners end up with. A whole-house cleanout or a remodel across several rooms goes in one container.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for an addition, a major renovation, or demolition that mixes framing, drywall, roofing and insulation.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest. Commercial construction, large-scale demolition and industrial cleanouts are where it earns its keep.
When the right answer sits between two sizes, describe the project to your account manager and let them choose.
On private property you are clear. A container on your own driveway, in your yard or inside a fenced site needs no City permit in Bartlett, and the City's published list of projects that do require one covers fences, detached structures, swimming pools, additions, siding, windows, concrete work and the usual trades, with no mention of containers.
A placement that touches a street, an alley or a sidewalk is a different question, and Bartlett publishes no container permit for the right of way either way. Because nothing is published, treat the street as a conversation with the City rather than an assumption. Start with the Bartlett Public Works Department at 3585 Altruria Road on 901-385-5570, open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. For anything involving a roadway, drainage or a construction inspection, the Engineering Department on Stage Road answers on 901-385-6499 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Tennessee adds nothing on top. The state's own list of waste permits covers landfills, hazardous waste, special waste approvals, compost sites, used oil handlers and processing facilities, and carries no permit reaching a collection vehicle or the act of setting a container down.
Your account manager will put a street question to the right Bartlett office for you and, in most cases, work out a placement on your own ground so the question never arises.
Framing, drywall, shingles, siding, flooring, cabinets, doors, carpet, fencing, furniture and ordinary cleanout junk can all go in the container.
Tennessee controls disposal through what a permitted landfill may accept rather than through a single statewide banned list, and anything classed as special waste needs its own approval from the state before a landfill can take it. In practice that means the usual exclusions apply to every container: no hazardous waste, no liquids, no paint, solvents or fuel, no asbestos and no medical waste.
The City is specific about the household items it will not take in a cart, and the same items cannot ride in a container: gasoline, liquid paint, pool chlorine, batteries, motor oil, antifreeze, pesticides and transmission fluid. Those belong at the Memphis and Shelby County household hazardous waste site instead.
Tires and large appliances need separate handling and their own charge, so mention them when you book. Anything you are unsure about is worth a quick word with your account manager before it goes in.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Bartlett runs no landfill, so a container filled here is tipped at a permitted disposal site elsewhere in Shelby County, and the material in the load decides which one.
What the City does run is a set of drop-off sites for households. Bartlett Recycles I sits at the City's Solid Waste Complex, 5250 Shelter Run Lane, north of Rivercrest Elementary School along Guffin Road, and is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. A second site at 5890 Stage Road, just east of the Bartlett Station Municipal Center, stays open around the clock with staff on hand Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and a third sits at 7662 Highway 70. None of them is set up for a contractor load.
For the material no landfill will accept, the public route is the Memphis and Shelby County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility at 6305 Haley Road, off Farm Road between Walnut Grove and Mullins Station. It opens Tuesdays and Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and costs Shelby County residents nothing, because the City of Bartlett contributes to the operating cost each year. It takes residential material only and turns away commercial and business waste, which is worth knowing before anyone loads a truck and drives over.
The practical upshot is that a Bartlett remodel has no public counter to use and a container is the whole answer. Your account manager confirms the receiving site for your load, and what it will charge for your material, before the delivery is booked.

Most Bartlett rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A couple of days of notice gives us the pick of arrival times and gives you time to clear the drop spot.
Five things that make for a clean delivery:
Plan around the weekend at the end of a job. Disposal sites in the county keep shorter Saturday hours and close on Sunday, so a container loaded late on a Saturday normally travels on Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves the whole City of Bartlett, from the older streets off Stage Road and the neighborhoods around Freeman Park out to the newer building near Appling and the Wolf River bottoms, and we cover the surrounding Shelby County suburbs on the same routes. One bathroom or a commercial build, we fit delivery, swaps and disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will match the size to the debris, settle the drop spot, and give you a firm price before the call ends.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
In Bartlett a 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard container runs $699 to $899 on a five-day rental. The material and the disposal charge fill in the rest. Your account manager confirms the tonnage included and the rate for each additional ton before delivery.
For most Bartlett jobs renting costs less. The County's public sites take household material only, so self-hauling a remodel means a commercial gate, a charge per trip, fuel and your own labor. One container handles the lot in a single pickup.
Yes. A three-seat couch occupies roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, so there is still space for a mattress, a dresser and boxes. With household furniture the volume gives out well ahead of the weight limit.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, antifreeze, pesticides, pool chemicals, batteries and asbestos all have to stay out. Medical waste is excluded as well. Tires and large appliances need their own arrangement, so flag them when you book.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. The cheapest total is another matter, because brick, concrete and shingles can take a small container past its weight allowance. Giving dense material its own load is usually the better buy.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as a five-day one, because our pricing follows the job rather than the calendar. What moves your bill is weight. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs.
Most construction and household debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, shingles, siding, flooring, cabinets, doors, carpet, furniture and general junk. Clean concrete, brick and asphalt are accepted and often cost less in a separate load. Check unusual items with your account manager first.
