Dumpsters for Athens and the Lake Athens Side
About 35 Miles West of TylerAthens calls itself the Black-Eyed Pea Capital of the World, and it's the seat of Henderson County. It sits about 35 miles west of Tyler, out SH-31 past Chandler. The town had 12,710 people in 2010 and 12,857 in 2020, and the median house there went up in 1978. Lake Athens takes up about 1,800 acres on the east side of town, and Cedar Creek Reservoir lies off to the northwest. This is our longest regular run, so ask about the delivery day when you book.

County Dump Sites vs. a Roll-Off in Athens
Henderson County keeps a dump site on FM 314 north, just south of Brownsboro. It's open Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Precinct 4 station quit taking brush and tires in August 2023.
For one trailer of junk, that's fine. A kitchen tear-out takes a lot of Saturdays in a pickup. One can does it.

Types of Dumpster Rentals We Offer in Athens
Athens mixes lake homes, older houses in town and new building out on the edges. These are the jobs we book most.
Lake House and Weekend Home Cleanouts
Cedar Creek Reservoir is a popular weekend spot for Dallas-Fort Worth families, and Lake Athens has its own shoreline homes. When a lake place sells, years of furniture, mattresses, rugs and patio gear come out. A 20 or 30 yard handles most of them.
We've cleared weekend places for families who drive in from the Metroplex once a month. Cody's advice to them: "Have the can dropped the Thursday before, fill it over the weekend, and we'll grab it Monday." Nobody has to wait around for the truck.
Roofing Dumpsters
Architectural shingles weigh about 400 to 430 pounds per square. A 30-square roof can top 6 tons, so we send the right size can and talk tonnage before delivery.
Tonnage check: 30 squares at 400 pounds a square is 12,000 pounds. That's 6 tons. On a roof that big we'd honestly rather send two smaller cans than one big can with a heavy overage.
Remodeling Dumpsters
Homes from the 1970s are due for new kitchens, baths and floors. Old cabinets, tile, carpet and drywall fill a 20 yard. Drywall weighs about 467 pounds per cubic yard.
Construction Dumpsters
New homes and additions around Athens produce lumber offcuts, packaging and drywall scraps. A 40 yard with up to 5 tons fits most framing stages.
Brush and Storm Debris
With the Precinct 4 station not taking brush, big limb piles need another route. A 30 yard roll-off holds a full yard of storm limbs, and green wood weighs about 473 pounds per cubic yard.
Cody's rule for brush: "Big end toward the back wall, branches pointing to the door." Laid one way like that, a 30 yard holds about twice what it holds when limbs are tossed in any which way.
What Does a Dumpster Cost in Athens?

Planning a Delivery 35 Miles Out
Athens is our longest regular run, about 35 miles west of Tyler on SH-31 through Chandler. We plan Athens drops a few days out when we can, so call early.
We think a long run is worth planning right, not rushing. On a job last fall near Lake Athens, we booked the drop for a Tuesday, the customer filled it in four days, and the pull and the next drop went out on one trip. Back on the scale by noon.
Send a photo of the spot and tell us about gates or a shared lake road. The driver calls ahead.
If you need a swap, let us know when the can is close to full so we can line up the truck. A roll-off dumpster in Athens gets the same boards and the same call-ahead as one in Tyler.
North of Tyler on US-69, we also serve dumpster rental in Lindale.
What Stays Out of an Athens Dumpster
Tires, paint, chemicals, batteries, fuel tanks and hazardous waste can't go in. Lake properties often have old boat batteries and gas cans, so set those aside. Fridges and freezers need the freon pulled first.
Older Homes in Town and Near TVCC
Trinity Valley Community College was founded in Athens in 1946, and the streets around it have plenty of rentals. Athens had about 5,408 housing units in recent census estimates, and about 9.6% stood empty in 2020. Empty rentals mean move-out cleanouts and quick remodels between tenants.
The median house in Athens dates from 1978. Homes that age are ready for new roofs, new floors and new kitchens, often all three within a few years of a sale.
We've seen a lot of landlords try to stretch one can over two move-outs. Honestly, it works if the units are close together and you book the pickup the day the second one is done.
About 8% of Athens homes are manufactured homes. Clearing one before a move or a sale usually fits a 20 yard.

What Tyler Customers Say
Athens Lake Home Questions
Can You Deliver to Cedar Creek Lake Homes?
Ask us when you call. Homes on the Athens side of the lake are usually inside our range, and we will tell you the delivery day.
Can I Fill the Dumpster Over a Weekend Visit?
Yes. We can drop it before you arrive and pick it up after you leave, so the can is ready when you are.

Dumpster Rental in Athens FAQs
Do you deliver dumpsters to Athens, TX from Tyler?
Yes. Athens is about 35 miles west of Tyler on SH-31, and the posted prices are the same as in town. Because it is our longest regular run, ask about the delivery day when you book. Calling a few days ahead gives you the best choice.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Athens?
Not on private property like a driveway or a lake lot. For a spot on a public street, check with Athens City Hall before booking. The truck needs about 60 feet of straight room and clear space above to set the can, and we lay boards under the rails.
Can I take brush to the Henderson County dump instead?
Check first. The Precinct 4 solid waste station stopped taking brush and tires in August 2023, and the notice said until further notice. The FM 314 site near Brownsboro keeps limited hours. For a big brush pile, a 30 yard roll-off is often simpler.
What size dumpster do I need to clean out a lake house?
A 20 yard fits most small lake cabins, and a 30 yard fits a full house with a garage or boathouse. The 30 yard has 6-foot walls and 3 tons included. Boat batteries, gas cans and old paint have to come out first.
How long can I keep a dumpster in Athens?
The standard rental is 7 days, and extra days can be added when you book. Weekend homeowners often book a drop before a visit and a pickup after. If the can fills early, call and we will plan a pickup or a swap.
