Roll-off dumpster rental in Terrell
Approx. 10 road miles from the yard, around 18 minutes.
Terrell is approx. 10 road miles west of the yard, around 18 minutes. It is an unincorporated community in Catawba County, not a Census place, so there is no population count for it. The County's small area plan names two post offices in the area, Terrell and Sherrills Ford, and lists the Terrell Historic District.
Outside any town, Catawba County runs an exclusive solid waste franchise. County Code lets the board grant the exclusive right to collect, transport and dispose of solid waste for pay (§32-3(a)) and makes it unlawful to do that business in the franchise areas outside a municipality without the County's licence (§32-3(l)). The franchise agreement covers construction and demolition roll-offs at County-set rates, and contractors and businesses may haul their own waste. So we check Catawba County's franchise rules before booking a container in Terrell.

What comes out of Terrell properties
Roofs in 10s and 20s, remodels in 20s, yard clean-ups in 15s and 20s, and a 10 or 15 for concrete, brick and dirt — heavy material goes in the smaller boxes because of weight limits. A clean load of concrete, brick, block, asphalt, gravel and rock counts as inert debris in North Carolina (15A NCAC 13B .0101(28)); shingles, drywall and treated lumber do not. No used oil, lead-acid batteries, whole tires, white goods or consumer computers and TVs (G.S. 130A-309.10(f)).

Sizes
Choosing a container size in Terrell
Weight is what usually decides the size, not how much room the pile takes up.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard Dumpster | about 14 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 3.5 ft high | about 3 pickup truck loads | 1–2 tons | Small bathroom and kitchen remodels, garage cleanouts, roofing tear-offs, concrete, tile and asphalt removal, and other heavy debris within the weight limit. |
| 15 Yard Dumpster | about 16 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high | about 4–5 pickup truck loads | 2–3 tons | Multi-room and garage cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, flooring and carpet removal, light-to-medium roof tear-offs, landscaping and yard cleanup, and fence or deck removal. |

Permits, placement and who may haul in Terrell
Who may haul — the rule that matters: §32-3(a) lets Catawba County grant an exclusive right to collect, transport and dispose of solid waste for pay, and §32-3(l) makes it unlawful to run that business outside any municipality, inside the franchise areas, without the County's licence. The County's franchise agreement covers construction and demolition businesses in the non-municipal areas, with fixed and variable roll-off rates; contractors and businesses keep the right to haul their own waste with their own equipment. So we check Catawba County's franchise rules before booking a container in Terrell. We're licensed and insured.
Placement: on a state road, G.S. 136-93 bars any obstruction without a written NCDOT permit, and we found no permit path for a temporary roll-off — so a container goes on the driveway or job site.
Knocking something down: the state Health Hazards Control Unit (NC DHHS) needs a DHHS 3768 notice for the demolition of a building, whether or not it contains asbestos; work may start on the tenth working day. Asbestos never goes in our containers — tell us if the survey finds any.

How it works
Booking a dumpster in Terrell
Booking a container here takes one phone call and about five minutes.
- 1
Call and tell us the job
One short conversation. We ask the location, what you are clearing — a cleanout, a renovation, a roof, a yard, a job site — roughly how much there is, and how much room the driveway or lot gives us.
- 2
We size it and quote it flat
You get one number that can cover delivery, pickup, disposal, the standard rental period and an included weight allowance. If a smaller box does the job we will say so. If it is concrete, shingles or dirt, we say up front that weight decides the size.
- 3
Delivered where you want it
The driver sets the container on the driveway, lot or job site where you asked, with protective boards under it if you want them. Often same-day or next-day, depending on availability. You do not need to be home.
- 4
Load at your own pace
Keep it level with the top rim and keep the banned items out — paint and solvents, chemicals, oil and fuel, batteries, tires, propane tanks and gas cylinders, medical waste, asbestos, large appliances, and computers or TVs. Need more time or a swap mid-job? One call.
- 5
We haul it and dispose of it right
The load is covered and goes to a facility permitted for that kind of waste, with metal, concrete, asphalt, cardboard and yard waste recycled through local facilities whenever possible. You get your driveway back the way you left it.
