Construction Debris Removal in Nashville

Bungalow pop-ups in 12 South, teardowns in Sylvan Park, East Nashville kitchens coming down to the studs — construction debris removal in Nashville is priced from a photo of the pile, before anyone loads it.

“Had a plan AND morning confirmation with [another junk remover] and they canceled last minute, an hour before. I was in a bind, and I called & texted the folks at JunkRabbit. They were fast, courteous and available on short notice.”

Ways to Get Rid of Renovation Debris in Nashville

Metro draws hard lines around construction waste, and the free options leave out most of what a real remodel produces.

Sheriff’s Bulk Pickup

Construction debris is on the accepted list, but drywall and anything bagged are not. It all has to be at the front curb by 6:30 a.m., with up to seven business days before collection.

Convenience Center

Metro takes construction debris from residents at the Omohundro site only, and only up to two cubic yards per load, for a fee.

Brush Pickup

Metro’s brush collection comes around four times a year, and debris generated by a contractor is never collected.

JunkRabbit

Drywall, bags, cabinets and tubs, collected from the job site or garage on a day that fits the project.

Tornado and Flood Debris in Middle Tennessee

Nashville’s big cleanups have come from two directions: wind and water.

March 3, 2020

An EF3 tornado tracked from North Nashville through Germantown, East Nashville and Five Points, then on through Donelson, Hermitage and Mt. Juliet. It ranks as the eighth-costliest tornado on record in the U.S.

May 1–2, 2010

More than 13 inches of rain fell in two days. The Cumberland crested near 52 feet, the Harpeth set record crests in Bellevue and Kingston Springs, and Mill Creek flooded I-24 in Antioch.

What Metro Collects

After ordinary storms, Metro’s brush rounds handle limbs under four inches across. Soaked furniture, carpet and drywall fall back on the Sheriff’s curbside program — minus the drywall and anything bagged.

What We Take

Water-damaged furniture, carpet and pad, drywall, bagged debris and ruined appliances, carried out and loaded so the drying and repairs can start.

Storm work comes in bursts, so book as soon as you know what’s ruined — the same flat catalog prices apply.

Construction Debris FAQs

How much does construction debris removal cost in Nashville?

Drywall is $37 per sheet or small bundle, a contractor bag $41, and loose debris $120 per cubic yard. Bigger loads go by truck-fill, $241 for a quarter and $732 for a full truck.

Will the Sheriff’s bulk pickup take drywall?

No. Drywall and bagged items are both on its refused list, which is why so much renovation waste ends up needing a private hauler.

Can I drop construction debris at a Metro convenience center?

Only at the Omohundro site, only up to two cubic yards per load, and only with a Davidson County ID. You’ll pay a fee and do the hauling yourself.

Do you take plaster and lath from old houses?

Yes. It’s heavy, so bigger amounts usually price by truck-fill; bagged plaster is fine.

Can you remove a cast-iron bathtub?

Yes — a cast-iron tub is $185, and a fiberglass one $90. Disconnecting the plumbing is up to your contractor.

Do you haul concrete and brick?

Yes. Masonry is sold by the quarter truck, $219, since weight fills a truck long before volume does. For a whole patio or foundation, a rented container can make more sense — ask and we’ll say which.

Can you clear flood-damaged contents after heavy rain?

Yes. Soaked furniture, carpet, pad and drywall are carried out at the usual catalog prices on the first open window.

Do you work with contractors on active job sites?

Yes. Schedule a pickup at the end of demo or between phases, and each load is quoted from a photo.

Clear the Job Site

A photo of the debris gets you the flat price — drywall and bags included.
