Dumpster Rental Planning in East Knoxville
East Knoxville runs along Magnolia Avenue, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and Dandridge Avenue and includes Parkridge, Holston Hills, Chilhowee Park, Morningside, Five Points, and Burlington. We deliver roll-off dumpsters across East Knoxville; confirm the exact address and date when you call (865) 309-5305.
Common projects include restoring Victorian and craftsman homes in Parkridge, updating mid-century homes in Holston Hills, roof replacements, and clearing out inherited or long-held properties. Some addresses toward Strawberry Plains Pike and Asheville Highway are outside city limits, so confirm which rules apply before scheduling street placement or curb pickup.
Starting prices include 2 tons on the 10, 15, and 20-yard sizes and 3 tons on the 30-yard, with seven rental days. Weight over the allowance is $85 per ton and extra days are $15 each. If you are breaking up a concrete patio or brick steps, call first because heavy debris is quoted separately.

Permits and right-of-way
The City of Knoxville parking permit application lists dumpsters as a type of work that can reserve public parking space. If the container would sit on a street, in a parking space, or on a sidewalk, contact the City's Engineering Department or call 311 at (865) 215-4311 before delivery. A driveway placement avoids most of these questions.
For addresses outside city limits, check with Knox County Engineering & Public Works at (865) 215-5800 before anything sits in a county road.
Neighborhood context
Parkridge, off Magnolia Avenue, was developed as a streetcar suburb in the 1890s and incorporated as the separate city of Park City in 1907 before joining Knoxville. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Properties in a Knoxville historic (H-1) or neighborhood conservation (NC-1) overlay need a Certificate of Appropriateness from Knoxville-Knox County Planning in addition to a building permit for exterior work. A dumpster itself is not exterior work, but a roof, porch, or siding project in an overlay usually is.
Disposal and drop-off sites
The City of Knoxville Solid Waste Facility transfer station at 1033 Elm St takes garbage and construction or demolition debris at $70 per ton and loads with shingles at $80 per ton. It does not accept loads over 4 tons, limits rock, brick, concrete, or dirt to two wheelbarrows per trip, and takes cards only, no cash. Scale house: (865) 215-6700.
Privately owned landfills the City of Knoxville lists for fee-based disposal: Chestnut Ridge Landfill, 140 Fleenor Mill Rd, Heiskell (off Raccoon Valley Rd and I-75); Poplar View Landfill, 1730 McMillan Station Rd, Knoxville, (865) 525-7720; and Riverside C&D Landfill, 3330 Delrose Dr, Knoxville. Call ahead for fees and accepted materials.
Knox County's Carter Convenience Center, 8815 Asheville Hwy, sits just east of the Asheville Highway and Andrew Johnson Highway split for county residents.
Trash, brush, and bulk items
City of Knoxville crews collect brush every two weeks from March through October on a week-of schedule; set brush out by 7 a.m. Monday of your week. Piles must be within 5 feet of the street, no larger than 6 x 6 x 6 feet, free of construction debris, and without stumps or limbs over 12 inches across. Brush from paid tree contractors is not collected. Open burning is prohibited inside city limits.
City bulky pickup takes up to five items per week after you place a bulky alert through 311. Construction, renovation, and demolition waste, including doors, windows, toilets, cabinets, flooring, and lumber, is not eligible for bulky pickup. That material is what a roll-off dumpster is for.
Recycling and hazardous waste
The City's east recycling drop-off center is at 210 Alice St. Household hazardous waste such as paint, solvents, and pool chemicals goes to the City of Knoxville Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 1033 Elm St, which serves both city and Knox County residents. Call (865) 215-6710 for hours. Paint, liquids, and batteries are not allowed in our dumpsters.
Scrap metal can go free to the Elm St transfer station or to CMC Recycling Knoxville, 2706 Mynderse Ave NW, (865) 867-7364. Pulling metal and clean concrete out of a mixed load helps you stay inside the weight allowance.
