Excavation and clean fill dumpsters for soil, rock and gravel from foundation, trench and landscaping work, with low-side containers and weight guidance.
Digging a foundation, trenching for pipe or regrading a yard leaves behind piles of soil and rock, and moving it out is a weight problem more than a space problem. A low-side dumpster is built for this job. In Nashville, clay, rock and fill dirt show up on many sites, and getting the container choice right keeps trucks safe and the schedule realistic.
Dirt is dense, so a ten-yard container is often the most that can be filled safely, and a fill line keeps loads in check. Clean fill with no trash is easier to process, so keep it separate from other debris. Before digging, call Tennessee 811 so buried utilities are marked. We also remind customers that wet soil is heavier than dry, and that a firm base helps the truck lift and haul without damage. Keep roots, trash and broken pavement out of a clean fill load, and place the container on solid ground that can carry the weight of a loaded truck. If the soil is wet or muddy, tell us before delivery so we can plan the best spot, since wet ground is hard on trucks and on lawns.

You get a plain written quote with the size, the rental days, the weight allowance and the terms before anything is scheduled.
The truck sets the container where we agreed, on plywood when needed, and we confirm the placement with you.
Load heavy items first, spread the weight, keep prohibited items out and stay below the fill line. Call if you need a swap or more days.
Call when you are done and we schedule the pickup, haul the container and leave the site ready for the next step.
A ten-yard low-side container is the most common because of weight.
Mixed loads are harder to process, so keep clean fill separate.
Yes. Rock is heavy, so tell us how much you have.
Yes. Contact Tennessee 811 before any excavation.
Water adds weight, so a wet load can exceed limits quickly.
