At Prime Dumpster, we arrange roll-off container delivery throughout Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and the rest of Rutherford County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. This is one of the fastest-growing cities in the state, so the work splits between new construction and subdivision build-out on the edges and renovation, roofing and whole-house cleanouts in the older neighborhoods around the square and out along Broad Street.
Murfreesboro is unusually straightforward on the legal side and unusually specific about where a load can go. The City bars construction debris from its own containers, which makes a rented container central to any building job here, and the county transfer station on Landfill Road is the destination that matters. Sizing, weight, disposal limits and timing are all covered below.

Four things move a Murfreesboro quote.
Weight leads, as it does everywhere. Fill a 10 or a 15 with broken concrete, brick, fill dirt or three layers of shingle and the tonnage allowance runs out while the walls are only half covered. Framing, cabinets, drywall, carpet and household clutter are light for their bulk, so a 20 or a 30 covers a lot more remodel for the money.
Haul distance is the second, and in Murfreesboro it is short. The county transfer station sits inside the city on Landfill Road with the same zip code as most of our deliveries, which keeps the round trip tight and the fuel element small. The City's own code even defines a fuel surcharge as a percentage of the base rate, so it is a real line item worth asking about rather than a surprise.
Sorting is the third. Clean concrete, clean lumber and general mixed debris handle differently once they reach the gate, so keeping them in separate containers usually costs less in total than one mixed load that has to be picked over.
The fourth is one Murfreesboro residents should know before they compare prices. The City bars construction and yard waste from its issued refuse containers, so a renovation already needs a separate arrangement. But a private resident who contracts with a private collector is still billed the City's monthly refuse service charge. Your account manager will set the container price against that so the comparison is an honest one.

Pick on the material first, then on where the truck can set it down. Newer Murfreesboro subdivisions usually have the room; the older streets near the square often do not.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is for dense material. Concrete, brick, block, tile, fill dirt and plaster go here, and its short footprint suits a narrow driveway or a tight lot.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage, a single bathroom or a small tear-off, and it is the largest unit that still fits comfortably on a short approach.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the workhorse for a kitchen and bath together, a full declutter, or a mid-sized roof, and it swallows furniture and cabinetry without trouble.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits a whole-house renovation, an addition or a new build, where the debris is mixed and mostly bulky.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is sized for commercial demolition and large construction packages and needs open ground to place and clear.
Tell your account manager the debris type and the drop spot, including gate widths and turning room, and they will match the unit to whichever limit you hit first.
On private property, no permit. A container on your driveway, your parking lot or inside a fenced construction site is not something the City asks you to apply for, and that covers the large majority of Murfreesboro deliveries.
The roadway is the part worth checking. Murfreesboro publishes no dumpster-specific street permit at all. We pulled the City's streets and sidewalks provisions in full, and the word dumpster does not appear in them, so what governs a unit in the roadway is the general rule against obstructing a public way rather than a named application you can download. That makes a conversation with the City the right step rather than a form, and it is a conversation your account manager will have for you.
The licensing side is simpler than most Tennessee cities. The City of Murfreesboro issues no solid waste collector license. We pulled its licenses chapter in full and searched it, and the words solid waste, refuse, collector, hauler, garbage and scavenger do not appear anywhere in it. The City also states in its own code that nothing prohibits a commercial establishment or a private resident from contracting with a private collector. There is no franchise standing between you and a container.
One honest caveat goes with that. The City's code also refers to a licensed collector of waste without defining or issuing such a license, so the instrument it has in mind sits somewhere outside the city code. We settle the position for your address before anything is scheduled. The main City line is 615-893-5210, and your account manager will confirm the right counter for you.
Nearly all renovation, roofing and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from the receiving facility and from the usual hazardous categories.
No liquids, and none of the paint, solvents, thinners, fuel, motor oil, antifreeze, pool chemicals or pesticides that come with them. Appliances holding refrigerant, fluorescent tubes, batteries, televisions and computer equipment all need their own route. Rutherford County accepts electronics, oil-based paint and fluorescent bulbs at its Leanna drop-off center, which is a useful free route for the small quantities a household job throws up.
Asbestos needs testing and specialist handling, not a loading decision. In Murfreesboro housing from before the 1980s it shows up in floor tile adhesive, pipe insulation and textured ceilings, so order the test before the demolition rather than after.
Tires are kept separate. Clean fill dirt, concrete and brick are all accepted but travel best in a container of their own, because a clean hard load is cheaper to handle than the same material mixed through drywall and timbering offcuts.
If an item sits between those categories, one call to your account manager settles it before loading. It takes a minute and it avoids a rejected load.
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.
Most Murfreesboro containers go to the Rutherford County Solid Waste Transfer Station at 6025 Landfill Road, Murfreesboro, TN 37130. It is operated by Rutherford County Solid Waste, a county department, and the County publishes its details on its own site. The department takes calls on 615-898-7739.
The hours are unusually generous for a public facility and they shape the working day here. The station opens at 4:00 AM and runs to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday, with a short Saturday window from 6:00 AM to noon. An early opening means a container filled late in the afternoon can be tipped first thing the next morning rather than sitting over a weekend.
One current note matters more than the hours. The County states plainly that Haley Road is closed for remodeling and that nobody should go there, with Haley Road operations halted since June 2024. If an older quote or an out-of-date map points a driver at Haley Road, it is wrong. Drivers route to Landfill Road.
The County also runs drop-off centers across Rutherford County for recycling and small household items, including the Leanna center at 4303 Sulphur Springs Rd, Murfreesboro, TN 37129, open Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:30 AM to 5 PM and Saturday and Sunday from 7:30 AM to 3 PM. Those are drop-off sites for residents rather than destinations for a container, so nobody should drive a trailer of demolition debris to one.
There is a large private landfill in the county as well. We do not name it here because it is company-run, and your account manager confirms which site your particular load is going to, and the rate that applies, before the container is delivered.
6025 Landfill Road, Murfreesboro, TN 37130
Open 4:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday and 6:00 AM to noon on Saturday.
Most Murfreesboro orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving inside a 24 to 48 hour window. The short haul to Landfill Road helps, and so do the early station hours.
Five things that keep a Murfreesboro delivery on schedule:
Watch the back end of the week too. The station closes at noon on Saturday and does not open Sunday, so a container filled on a Saturday afternoon is normally hauled on the Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Murfreesboro, from the square and the Middle Tennessee State University area out to Blackman, Siegel, Salem and the Veterans Parkway corridor, along with the surrounding Rutherford County communities. We also cover projects over toward Nashville. We work the delivery and haul dates around the transfer station's early opening and your own schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the debris, settle the driveway or roadway question, confirm the transfer station timing for your haul, and quote it 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 Murfreesboro a 10-yard is $399 to $499 and a 40-yard $699 to $899 across the standard five days. The short haul to the county transfer station helps, while weight and debris type move the final figure most. Your account manager quotes the Murfreesboro job on the call.
For a single pickup load, self-hauling can win. Past that it does not. The transfer station closes at noon on Saturday and not at all on Sunday, charges per visit, and every trip costs fuel and an afternoon. A container stays put for the whole job.
Yes. Allow about a fifth of a 10-yard unit for a three-seat couch and there is still space for a recliner, a mattress and boxes. On a Rutherford County cleanout it is nearly always volume rather than tonnage that stops you.
Liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, antifreeze, pool chemicals and pesticides are all out. So are refrigerant appliances, fluorescent tubes, batteries, televisions and computer equipment. Asbestos material needs testing and separate handling, and tires are always kept out of the main load.
The 10-yard at $399 to $499 is the lowest price on the list, and on a tight older lot near the square it may be the only unit that fits. The lowest price only wins if your material fits it, though. Loaded with fill dirt or concrete it reaches its weight allowance fast.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as five, because the price is built around the haul and the tonnage rather than the number of nights on site. Weight is what shifts the invoice. Your account manager puts the included tonnage and the overage rate on the quote itself.
Lumber, drywall, plaster, shingles, flooring, cabinets, doors, decking, siding, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout debris are all accepted. Clean concrete, brick and fill dirt are fine too and are best loaded on their own. Unusual items are worth confirming with your account manager before they go in.
