Container Man LLC is a locally owned business based in Elizabethton, TN, which means the person answering your call actually knows the driveways, streets, and neighborhoods of Northeast Tennessee – not a national call center reading from a script. That local knowledge matters most at delivery. Home dumpster rentals come with tighter placement constraints than a commercial jobsite: narrow driveways, sloped yards, low tree limbs, septic lines, and landscaping you don’t want crushed under a 20-yard container.
We treat driveway-safe placement as a specific part of the job, not an afterthought. Before your dumpster ever leaves the truck, we talk through where you want it – on the driveway, at the curb, on a gravel pad, or in the yard – and we place it carefully to protect asphalt, concrete, and pavers. If your driveway needs extra protection or the container has to sit somewhere unconventional, we confirm the plan with you before delivery so there are no surprises when the truck shows up.
Pricing is just as straightforward. Our flat 7-day rental rates mean you know the cost before we deliver, with no per-day fees creeping in while you sort through a garage full of decades of stuff.
Most residential projects fall into a few common categories, and each one tends to line up with a specific dumpster size:
Not sure which size fits your project? Our full dumpster sizes guide breaks down capacity and typical uses for every option we offer, from 10 all the way up to 40-yard.
Homeowners choose Container Man LLC for a few consistent reasons. First is transparent, flat-rate pricing: $195 for a 10- or 15-yard container, $295 for a 20-yard container, plus a $225 haul fee, all for a full 7-day rental window. There’s no guessing about what the final invoice will look like.
Second is local accountability. As a business based in Elizabethton, TN, we serve the Tri-Cities communities we’re part of, including Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, Blountville, Bluff City, Piney Flats, Gray, and Erwin. When you call, you’re reaching a company that shows up, communicates clearly, and treats your property the way we’d want ours treated.
Third is flexibility for a homeowner’s schedule. A week is enough time for most residential projects to go from “overwhelming pile” to “done,” and if your project needs more time or a different size than you initially booked, just give us a call to talk through it.
Getting a dumpster to your home is a straightforward process:
1. Call us at (423) 431-9267 and describe your project – cleanout, renovation, yard debris, or something else. We’ll help you pick the right size.
2. Confirm placement. We’ll ask where you’d like the container and go over any driveway or yard considerations so delivery goes smoothly and your property is protected.
3. We deliver. Container Man LLC brings the dumpster to your Elizabethton or Tri-Cities-area address and places it exactly where you agreed.
4. You load at your pace over the 7-day rental period, filling it with household junk, renovation debris, or yard waste as you go.
5. We haul it away. Once you’re finished, call us, and we’ll pick up the container promptly – no need to track down another crew.
Specific weight limits and any local permit requirements (for containers placed in a street or right-of-way, for example) are confirmed at the time of booking, since these can vary by property and municipality.

For a room-by-room clear-out a 15-yard at $195 is usually enough. For a full house, including furniture and the garage, most people take the 20-yard at $295, which holds around 6-8 pickup loads.
Usually yes. Allow around 60 feet of straight clearance and 12 feet of width, with clear overhead room for the truck to lift the container. If your driveway is tight, tell us when you book and we will advise on the size that fits.
The flat rate covers seven days, so a weekend project is comfortably inside it. We deliver and collect Monday to Friday, so book delivery for the Friday and we will collect the following week.
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 the Tri-Cities 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 the Tri-Cities. 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.
