Nashville, Tennessee
Metro Nashville permits each truck and each roll-off box, not just the company. A street drop needs its own NDOT permit on top of that. Here is what Metro publishes.
City rules are from October 2026, from NDOT: Temporary street closure and dumpster permits and 3 other sources. Rules and fees change, so confirm with the city before you place a can in the street.
With a $12 permit and a decal on each container, Metro expects you to know your fleet box by box. A $50-a-day fine on a missing one adds up. DumpTracker asks the driver for the container number at every drop and pickup, so the office knows which box sits at which address.
News reports in 2022 and 2023 said Southern Services Landfill in Bordeaux, then Davidson County's only C&D landfill, stopped taking outside C&D after August 31, 2022. We could not confirm its 2026 status. Longer runs mean fewer turns per truck. Logging each ticket's destination and net tons shows where the time goes.
Infill jobs often mean a narrow lot or a street drop. Mark the can's real footprint and door side on the satellite map, and check Street View for the curb. Put any neighbor or door-hanger note in the access notes for the driver.
The rules don't change because you have software. Keeping track of them does.
Log the permit number, who issued it, and the start and end dates on the project. If the permit ends before the scheduled pickup, the project tells you before the city does.
Place the can on the satellite map at its real size, mark the door side, and add access notes. The driver sees the same thing on their next stop.
Yes. NDOT issues a Trailer / Dumpster permit for any dumpster in the Metro right-of-way, through ePermits. The posted fee is $10 a day up to $2,000, but new fees took effect July 1, 2026, so check the current rate. Metro does not publish a lead time or a time limit.
Yes. Metro Code 10.20.100 requires an annual permit for each mobile waste container of 2 cu yd or more. It costs $12 a year per container, and the decal goes on the top right corner of the rear.
We could not confirm a current answer. News reports said Southern Services Landfill stopped taking outside C&D in 2022. Call the landfills you use and confirm before you quote a job.
Drivers confirm the container number at each stop, which helps when Metro permits each box. Dump tickets keep destination and net tons on the project, on Pro and Elite. Customers get texts from your own number after a one-time 10DLC registration.
