Roll-Off Dumpster Rental
When the job runs longer than a visit, a roll-off in the driveway is the cheaper answer: a remodel over a week, a house cleared room by room, a roof replacement, a landscaping overhaul. We deliver a 10, 15 or 20-yard container set on boards to protect the concrete, and pull it when you call.

Furniture and Appliance Removal
The sofa that will not make the turn on the stairs, the mattress from the spare room, the freezer in the basement that quit: the everyday work in Chattanooga. Two people and a truck, carried out from wherever it sits, including the basements and split levels the hills produce, hauled the same day when the schedule allows.

House, Estate and Hoarding Cleanouts
Clearing a parent's house in Brainerd, a rental in East Ridge after a tenant left, or a home on Signal Mountain that filled up over forty years is planning work first. The crew goes through it with you or your agent and marks each pile: keep, family, donate, sell, dispose. Whatever is left after that goes on the truck, and the house is swept broom-clean for the listing photos or the next tenant.

Storm and Yard Debris Cleanup
The Tennessee Valley gets its storms from March to May and again in the fall, and the morning after there are limbs in the yard, a fence on the ground and shingles in the beds. We haul it. The everyday yard mess goes too: brush cleared off a lot line, rotted landscaping timbers, shrubs that died, the heap that grew behind the shed.
Storm and Yard Debris Cleanup detailsTwo ways to do it. The truck: the crew loads it and leaves, for anything from one couch to a full house. The dumpster: a 10, 15 or 20-yard roll-off on your driveway for the remodel, the roof or the room-by-room cleanout, pulled when you call. Both are on offer, so you get whichever is cheaper for the job.
A local crew with a 423 number, not a national call center. The quote is the price, the driveway is swept, and the truck knows the difference between Hixson Pike and Brainerd Road.
Junk removal pricing in Chattanooga
The load pays for the labor, the haul and the landfill fee in one number, and the number is set from a photo before anything is lifted. These are the ranges a local crew charges across Hamilton County in 2026; the carry, the weight and the day of the week move a job inside them.
| Share of the truck | Price range | What it usually is |
|---|---|---|
| One item, carried out | $99–$175 | a mattress from upstairs, a fridge from the garage, a couch off the porch |
| Quarter truck | $240–$325 | one bedroom's furniture, a bay of the garage, a storm's worth of fence panels |
| Half truck | $375–$490 | a one-bedroom turnover, a garage front to back, a deck's worth of old boards |
| Three-quarter truck | $540–$650 | one floor of an estate house, a basement that filled up over decades |
| Full truck | $650–$800 | a whole-house cleanout load, a fence line and a shed in pieces, day one of a hoarding job |

Call (423) 558-2667Hauling for how this city lives
Chattanooga is a city of ridges and river: the old neighborhoods on the flats, Highland Park, Ridgedale, St. Elmo, Alton Park, full of houses lived in for generations, the North Shore and Riverview where the bungalows are being remodeled one at a time, the postwar streets of Brainerd and East Ridge, and the growth out East Brainerd Road to Ooltewah and Collegedale where a garage full of moving boxes is the standard condition. Each produces its own kind of job: estate cleanouts downtown, renovation debris on the North Shore, garage cleanouts in Ooltewah.
The city collects household garbage and runs a brush and bulky-item collection for single-family homes on a scheduled week, with a cap of twelve bulky pickups per address a year and a refused list that covers building materials, lumber, drywall, tile, concrete and tires. The crew handles everything outside that: appliances and furniture that cannot wait, whole rooms, construction debris, anything heavy, apartments and businesses the program does not serve, and the mountain streets where a city truck does not fit.
Storms come off the Cumberland Plateau hard. The Easter 2020 tornado tore through East Brainerd and Ooltewah, and every spring brings a night of straight-line wind somewhere in the county. The crew hauls limbs, fence panels, roofing and shed pieces the day after, and tells you what the brush route will take for free before you pay for it.
Junk removal across Hamilton County and the Chattanooga area

Why call Scenic City Dumpsters & Junk Removal
- A crew based in the county. The number rings a crew that works between the river and the ridges every day, not a call center routing to whoever is free.
- No surprise on the invoice. The figure quoted from your photo is the figure charged, and heavy material is named as heavy before the truck arrives.
- Both tools, one quote. Truck for what fits in a visit, roll-off for what does not; you are told which is cheaper instead of being sold one.
- Same day when it is small. A couch, a fridge or a blocked driveway in Chattanooga often goes the day you call.
- Accountable by design. One crew per area, and a crew that shows up late or leaves a mess is dropped from the line.

Junk removal questions from Chattanooga, answered
How is junk removal priced here?
By how much of the truck your load takes up, and the labor, the haul and the landfill fee all sit inside that one figure. The scale starts at a single piece of furniture and tops out at a truck packed to the tailgate. Send a photo for a firm quote or get it on the spot before anything is lifted. Dumpsters are quoted by size and rental period with a tonnage allowance included.
What size dumpster do I need?
A 10-yard for a garage, a bathroom or a small roof; a 15-yard for a kitchen remodel or a two-bedroom cleanout; a 20-yard for a whole house, a large roof or a big landscaping job. Say what the project is and the crew sizes it with you; oversizing costs money and undersizing costs a second delivery.
How soon can a truck get here?
For one item or a small load inside the city limits, often today. A whole-house cleanout or a dumpster drop normally lands on the calendar within a day or two.
What can't go in the truck or the dumpster?
Hazardous material: oil-based paint, chemicals, fuel, pesticides, asbestos, medical waste, and tires in the dumpster. The city's household hazardous waste facility takes most of that free from Tennessee residents, Tuesday to Saturday, up to fifteen gallons or 150 pounds per household, and Hamilton County's tire center takes tires. Nearly everything else is fine.
Do I have to be home?
No. Leave the items in the garage or the driveway and pay by card after a photo of the cleared space. Dumpsters are placed where you mark the spot. For estate cleanouts the crew meets a family member or an agent with the key.
What happens to things that can still be used?
Usable furniture and working appliances go to donation partners in the area where they accept them; metal and cardboard are recycled; refrigerant is recovered from appliances before they are scrapped; the rest goes to the landfill or the construction and demolition site.
