At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Morristown, Tennessee, and the rest of Hamblen County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older homes around the downtown Skywalk getting gutted and rebuilt, new construction spreading out along West Andrew Johnson Highway, and steady plant and warehouse work east of town all give homeowners and contractors here a reason to order a container.
Four things drive what you pay: the container size, the weight and type of your debris, how many days you keep it, and what the county landfill charges at the gate. Below we cover our price ranges, where a container can legally sit in Morristown, what the landfill will take, and how soon one can be in your driveway.

Several Morristown details push your total one way or the other.
Size leads. A bigger container costs more at the start, and it still tends to be the cheaper choice when the alternative is a second trip or an overage charge on a container that was too small.
Weight comes next. The Hamblen County Landfill weighs loads and charges accordingly, so a roof tear-off or a concrete patio costs more to bury than the same volume of cabinets and carpet. Tell your account manager what the debris is and they'll size the tonnage with you.
Where the container sits also matters here, more than it does in most towns. Morristown won't let a container occupy a street or sidewalk, so every job needs a workable spot on your own lot. A tight lot can mean a smaller container or a different drop point.
Finally, the city doesn't haul remodel debris at all. Its solid waste service is built around a single ninety gallon cart per home, and construction waste is written out of the bulk pickup rules. That leaves a roll-off as the practical answer for anything bigger than a cart.

Match the container to the volume first, then sanity check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries 10 through 40 yards, and the middle sizes cover most Hamblen County work.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest and shortest option. It fits a single bathroom, a shed teardown, or a small yard project. It's also the right call for brick, block, and broken concrete, because dense debris maxes out the weight before the walls are anywhere near full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a packed garage, a kitchen gut, or a single layer of shingles off an average roof. You get noticeably more room than the 10-yard for a modest step up in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most Morristown homeowners end up with. A whole house cleanout, a basement finish, or a remodel covering several rooms generally fits in one.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for additions, new home construction, and light demolition. Choose it when the debris is mixed and the volume keeps climbing.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It's for commercial construction, plant and warehouse cleanouts, and demolition jobs that run for weeks.
Caught between two sizes? Describe the project to your account manager and let them make the call.
On private property, like your driveway, your yard, or a job site lot, you don't need any permit in Morristown. Plan on that spot, because it's the only one the city allows.
Morristown doesn't issue a street permit for containers. The city code makes it unlawful to use or occupy any part of a public street, alley, sidewalk, or right-of-way to store goods or materials, and the city can have anything left there removed at the owner's cost. There's a narrow allowance downtown for displaying goods, and it still requires four feet of clear sidewalk, so it won't cover a roll-off container.
That makes placement the first question on a Morristown order, not the last. A narrow lot, a shared alley, or a steep drive can all change which container works.
For help with a tight site or a question about where your property line ends, call the City of Morristown Public Works Department at 423-585-4658. The Engineering Division inside Public Works manages the city right-of-way. Your account manager can also walk the options with you and reach the right city contact on your behalf.
Most of what comes out of a remodel or a cleanout is fine. The limits come from Tennessee's disposal rules and from what the county site will take.
Tennessee keeps whole tires out of landfills. The state's Department of Environment and Conservation says they have to go to a permitted processing facility or a county collection site instead, and every county has to run at least one. In Hamblen County that site is the same Sublett Road location, so pull tires out of the load and tell us about them.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos are out of a standard container everywhere. The county landfill does take paint, auto batteries, used motor oil, and scrap metal when they arrive separately.
Hamblen County also keeps a short list away from its curbside carts, including paint, oil, dirt, yard trimmings, and building materials. That list is a good preview of what needs its own handling rather than a spot in your mixed load.
If something has you second guessing, ask your account manager before it goes over the side.
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.
Debris from Morristown jobs goes to the Hamblen County Landfill at 3849 Sublett Road, Morristown, TN 37813. The state lists the same site as the Hamblen County and Morristown Solid Waste Department, and it doubles as the county's tire collection point. Call 423-581-8784 for the gate.
The county doesn't publish gate hours or per-ton pricing online, so plan around that. Your account manager will confirm the current schedule with the site before your pickup is set, which keeps a full container from sitting over a closed day.
The Hamblen County Highway and Garbage Department, which runs curbside service for homes outside the city, sits separately at 3373 Herbert Harville Drive, Morristown, TN 37813. Its office is open Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Friday mornings until 11 a.m. Call 423-586-3273. It handles household carts and brush, not remodel debris.
Every load is weighed, and the type of material changes how it's handled. Your account manager can tell you what's included and what an extra ton costs before the truck leaves.
3849 Sublett Road, Morristown, TN 37813
Run by Hamblen County and the City of Morristown. Gate hours are not published, so call ahead.
3373 Herbert Harville Drive, Morristown, TN 37813
County office for curbside carts and brush. Open Monday-Thursday, 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and Friday until 11:00 AM.
Most Morristown orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A little lead time still helps, mostly so the drop spot is settled before the truck is loaded. Booking ahead can also lower what you pay.
Five things make the day go smoothly:
Weekend timing is worth a thought too. The county site keeps limited hours and isn't open around the clock, so a container filled late on a Saturday may not be emptied until the following week.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster delivers across Morristown and the surrounding Hamblen County communities, including Russellville, Whitesburg, Talbott, Alpha, Lowland, and the lake neighborhoods out toward Cherokee Reservoir. Projects downtown, along the US-11E corridor, or out past the bypass all get the same delivery, pickup, and disposal coordination.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll pick the size, settle on a legal spot in your driveway or lot, and give you a firm price on the call.
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 Morristown a 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both based on a five-day rental. Debris type and the county landfill's per-ton charge move your total within that spread. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For most projects, renting wins. Hauling it yourself means repeated runs out to Sublett Road, a gate charge on each one, and a pickup bed that holds a fraction of a roll-off. Add fuel and a couple of lost Saturdays and the math tips quickly toward one container and one haul.
Yes, easily. A standard three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container. You'll still have space for a recliner, a mattress, and several bags of smaller items. Furniture takes up volume rather than weight, so you'll run out of room first.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Whole tires can't be landfilled in Tennessee, so they go to the county collection site instead. Auto batteries, used motor oil, and scrap metal also need separate handling. Mention any of these when you book so we can plan for them.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price, $399 to $499. The cheapest listing isn't always the cheapest outcome, though. Heavy debris like tile or concrete fills the weight allowance long before the container is full, and overage charges follow. Keeping dense material in its own load usually saves money.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as five days. We price the job, not the calendar, so finishing early doesn't lower the rate. Weight is where your bill actually moves. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each additional ton costs before delivery day.
Nearly all household and jobsite debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, doors, furniture, and cardboard. Clean brick, block, and concrete are welcome too, and they often cost less when they travel as one clean load. Not sure about an item? Your account manager will check first.
