Scenic City Dumpsters & Junk Removal is a local hauling crew for Chattanooga and Hamilton County: the North Shore, Highland Park, St. Elmo, East Brainerd, Hixson, Red Bank, East Ridge, Ooltewah and Collegedale, up Signal Mountain and Lookout Mountain, and out to Soddy-Daisy. Send a photo of what has to go, get a firm price, and it is gone, usually within a day or two, often the same day for a single item.
Two ways to do it. The truck: we load it and leave, 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. We do both, so you get whichever is cheaper for the job.
A local crew with a 423 number, not a national call centre. The quote is the price, the driveway is swept, and the truck knows the difference between Hixson Pike and Brainerd Road.

Hauling for how Chattanooga lives
Chattanooga is a city of ridges and river: the old neighbourhoods 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 remodelled 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 its own brush and bulky-item pickups on a schedule; the city's page (linked under Local resources) says what the trucks will take. We handle everything outside that: appliances, mattresses, whole rooms, construction debris, anything heavy, anything that has to go today, and everything on 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. We haul limbs, fence panels, roofing and shed pieces the day after, and tell you what the city's debris pickups will take for free before you pay us for it.

Questions people in Chattanooga ask
How is junk removal priced in Chattanooga?
By the share of the truck your load fills, with labour, hauling and landfill fees in one number. A single item is the smallest job, a full truck the largest. Send a photo for a firm quote or get it on the spot before we lift. 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 we size it with you; oversizing costs money and undersizing costs a second delivery.
Can you come today?
Often, for single items and small loads inside the city. Full cleanouts and dumpster deliveries are usually scheduled within one to two days.
What can't go in the truck or the dumpster?
Hazardous material: paint, chemicals, fuel, asbestos, medical waste, and tires in the dumpster. Hamilton County and the state list the drop-off options for those (see Local resources). 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 we meet a family member or an agent with the key.
Do you donate or recycle?
Usable furniture and working appliances go to donation partners in Chattanooga where they accept them; metal and cardboard are recycled; the rest goes to the licensed facility.
