Tennessee
For facilities, procurement, and project managers with sites in Tennessee. Local providers do the work. Detritus holds one agreement and sends one invoice. This page is about the state. It is not a city rental page.
Last reviewed October 26, 2026.
Detritus does not own a yard. A provider with trucks in the market delivers the roll-off or services the portable toilet. Detritus quotes the work, keeps the service record, pays the provider, and bills the customer. The same agreement can hold roll-offs, portable toilets, and restroom trailers. How a hauler, a broker, and a managed network differ is the longer comparison. Multi-site facilities is the page for a portfolio that crosses more than one state.
Roll-off containers are on dumpster rental. Portable toilets are on portable toilet rental. Restroom trailers are on restroom trailer rental. A single container in one city is a different request. Dumpster Rental Dogs and Porta Potty Dogs quote that work.
Approved accounts can be offered Net 30, 60 or 90 payment terms. Payment terms are available to approved accounts only and are subject to credit review and approval. Detritus may require a deposit, prepayment or a credit card on file, and may set, change or withdraw terms at its discretion. Terms offered to any customer are set in the written agreement or quote; nothing on this page is an offer of credit. See the terms of use.
These figures are work Detritus coordinated, as of October 2026. They are rounded down. Providers in our network that completed at least one roll-off or portable toilet delivery in the past two years, from October 26, 2024 through October 26, 2026. The count is companies we work with in that state. It is not a promise that every address in the state is covered. Jobs are deliveries in that same period at sites in the state. Each portable toilet figure is one unit placed, not one order.
| At Tennessee job sites, October 26, 2024 through October 26, 2026 | Rounded down |
|---|---|
| Roll-off jobs | 1,000+ |
| Portable toilet units placed | 1,000+ |
| Customer accounts | 1,000+ |
Counts of 1,000 or more are rounded down to the previous thousand. Counts of at least 100, and below 1,000, are rounded down to the previous hundred. Smaller counts of at least ten are rounded down to the previous ten. A provider can be in both the roll-off and the portable toilet figures. These are companies we work with in Tennessee, not a promise that every address in the state is covered. Some providers based outside Tennessee have delivered inside the state. These figures cover roll-off containers and portable toilets. Front-load service, compactors, and balers are not in this count. How coverage works across the country is in the coverage whitepaper.
This is a buyer’s briefing. It is not legal advice, and it is not a compliance certificate. Read the current text, and the ordinance that applies to the site, before you rely on it.
Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation rule 0400-11-01 defines construction/demolition wastes as wastes, other than special wastes, from construction, remodeling, repair, and demolition of structures and from road building, including bricks, concrete and other masonry, soil, rock, lumber, road spoils, rebar, and paving material. A Class IV landfill is used for demolition/construction wastes, shredded automotive tires, and certain similar wastes approved in writing by the Department. A Class I landfill may also take construction/demolition wastes. Except where the rule provides otherwise, no facility can lawfully store, process, or dispose of solid waste unless the operator has a permit. One exception is disposal of construction/demolition wastes on the site of generation when the completed fill area is less than one acre. The facility’s permit can be narrower than the rule, and a landfill can refuse a waste the rule would allow. Confirm acceptance with the facility before the haul.
Rule 0400-48-01 defines domestic septage to include liquid or solid material removed from a portable toilet, or from a similar treatment works that receives only domestic sewage. Rule 0400-48-01-.20 says a person engaged in removing and disposing of domestic septage from portable toilets shall obtain an annual permit from the Commissioner. The permit is the pumper’s, not a permit for the customer’s site. The rule does not set how many toilets a crew needs. Construction crew counts under the federal standard are on the OSHA portable toilet requirements guide.
A container on a city street is that city’s question. This page does not list city ordinances. On a county road, Tennessee Code Annotated section 54-7-109 charges the chief administrative officer of county highways with supervision of construction, repair, and maintenance. A container on a county road is that county’s question. This page does not list county ordinances. A state highway right-of-way is a separate permit.
The solid waste rules describe which wastes a Class I or Class IV landfill may take, and they set permit and program fees. They do not print a statewide gate rate, so this page does not state a Tennessee tipping fee. Regional landfill averages from a public study are on the commercial dumpster cost guide. That guide does not assign a region to Tennessee, and neither does this page. A gate rate is not a container price. Only a written Detritus quote is binding.
No. 100+ is the rounded count of providers in our network in Tennessee, as of October 2026. Providers in our network that completed at least one roll-off or portable toilet delivery in the past two years, from October 26, 2024 through October 26, 2026. That count is not a promise that every address in the state is covered. Send the site list for a coverage answer on a specific address.
In the two years ending October 26, 2026, jobs at Tennessee sites round down to 3,000+. That includes 1,000+ roll-off jobs and 1,000+ portable toilet units placed. Customer accounts with a Tennessee job site round down to 1,000+. A portable toilet count is units placed, not orders. These figures are rounded down from work Detritus coordinated.
Yes. Local providers perform the service. Detritus holds the customer agreement, the service record, and the invoice. Approved accounts can be offered Net 30, 60 or 90 payment terms, subject to credit approval. Payment terms are available to approved accounts only and are subject to credit review and approval. Nothing on this page is an offer of credit.
A container on a city street is that city’s question. This page does not list city ordinances. On a county road, Tennessee Code Annotated section 54-7-109 charges the chief administrative officer of county highways with supervision of construction, repair, and maintenance. Placement in a state highway right-of-way is a separate permit.
No. This page does not publish a Detritus price. It also does not publish a Tennessee landfill tipping fee, because the solid waste rules reviewed do not print a statewide gate rate. Only a written Detritus quote is binding.
The site list, the service each address needs, and how billing should split if the portfolio is more than one entity. The quote form opens with roll-off dumpsters, portable restrooms, and restroom trailers checked. Change the list if the sites need something else.
No customer names and no provider names are used. No Detritus price is stated.
