When you need a dumpster in Tyler, you need it fast, you need it to fit your project, and you need it from people who actually answer the phone. That’s exactly what we’ve been doing at Hawley Disposal Service since 2008; delivering clean, reliable roll-off dumpsters to homeowners, contractors, and businesses across Smith County with the kind of service that keeps our neighbors coming back.
Whether you’re cleaning out your garage, tearing down a deck, managing a multi-unit renovation, or hauling off debris from a commercial demolition, we’ve got the right size dumpster and the experience to make your project easier. We offer same-day delivery when you need it, transparent pricing with no surprise fees, and a team that’s available around the clock to answer your questions.
We’re not a national franchise. We’re Tyler-born, Texas-proud, and we’ve spent the last 15+ years becoming the name contractors trust and homeowners recommend. Let us show you why.
Ready to rent a dumpster today? Give us a call and we’ll get you scheduled.
Hawley Disposal Service started in 2008 when our founder, a third-generation Texan with roots in construction and waste management, saw a problem in Tyler: too many people were getting stuck with unreliable dumpster companies, surprise fees, and equipment that looked like it had been through a war zone. He knew there was a better way.
So we started small; just a couple of trucks, a handful of clean dumpsters, and a simple promise: show up when we say we will, charge what we quote, and treat every customer like a neighbor. That approach worked. Today, we’re proud to be one of Smith County’s most trusted names in roll-off dumpster rental, serving everyone from DIY homeowners tackling weekend projects to general contractors managing million-dollar builds.
Our mission hasn’t changed. We’re here to make residential cleanouts, construction jobs, and commercial projects easier by providing the right equipment, the right service, and the right support every single time. We believe in reliability, transparency, and doing right by our community; and our team brings decades of combined experience in waste management and customer service to every rental.
We’re locally owned and operated, and we’re not going anywhere. Tyler is home, and we’re honored to serve it.
No two projects are alike, and that’s why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Whether you’re a homeowner clearing out years of clutter or a contractor on a tight deadline, we’ve got the dumpster rental services to match your needs.
We work with homeowners across Tyler and Smith County on projects big and small:
If you’re wondering whether your project is too small or too big, the answer is no. We handle everything from single-room cleanouts to whole-house demolitions.
Contractors and builders rely on us because we understand the pace of your job. We deliver on time, we pick up when you’re ready, and we don’t slow you down:
We work with framers, roofers, landscapers, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors. If you need a dumpster on-site tomorrow, we’ll make it happen.
Property managers and commercial clients trust us for ongoing service and emergency response:
We’re available 24/7 because we know emergencies don’t wait for business hours.
Not sure what size you need? Don’t worry; we help customers figure this out every single day. Here’s a breakdown of our available sizes and what they’re best for. When in doubt, give us a call and we’ll walk you through it.
Our smallest option, perfect for light cleanouts and small-scale projects.
A step up from the 10-yard, great for medium-sized home projects.
A versatile size for residential and light commercial use.
Our most popular size; it handles the majority of home and contractor jobs.
For larger residential projects and commercial jobs.
Our largest roll-off container, built for serious work.
We also offer a 10-yard lowboy dumpster with lower sides for easier loading of heavy materials like concrete, dirt, or stone.
Still not sure? Call us. We’ll ask a few questions about your project and recommend the right size; no guesswork required.
We know that when you’re ready to start, you’re ready to start. That’s why we’ve built our entire operation around fast, reliable delivery.
Same-day delivery is available when you place your order before noon. Need it tomorrow? We guarantee next-day delivery on all orders placed by 5 PM. Working on an emergency project; storm damage, burst pipe cleanup, unexpected tenant move-out? We offer emergency and urgent rental options because we understand that life doesn’t always give you advance notice.
Our drivers are professional, experienced, and careful. We’ll place your dumpster exactly where you need it (as long as it’s safe and accessible), and we’ll do it without tearing up your driveway or lawn. Flexible scheduling means we can work around your timeline, including weekend delivery when you need it.
Here’s what the process looks like from start to finish: you call or book online, we confirm your size and delivery window, we deliver your dumpster and place it where you want it, you fill it up on your schedule, and when you’re done, we pick it up and haul everything away. Simple as that.
Some projects take a weekend. Some take a month. We don’t believe in rushing you.
Our standard rental periods are flexible; most customers keep their dumpster for 7 to 14 days, but you’re not locked into that. Need it for just a weekend? We offer weekend dumpster rentals for quick turnarounds. Got a short-term project with a hard deadline? Our short-term rental options give you exactly the time you need. Working on a long-term build or a multi-phase renovation? We provide long-term and monthly dumpster rental plans that keep a container on-site as long as you need it.
There’s no rush and no hassle. Keep the dumpster until your project is complete, and if you need more time, extending your rental is as easy as a phone call. We’re here to work on your schedule, not ours.
Let’s talk about pricing, because this is where a lot of companies lose your trust.
We believe in transparent, upfront pricing; period. When we give you a quote, that quote includes delivery, pickup, disposal, and your rental period. No hidden charges. No surprise fees when we come to pick it up. No gotcha moments.
Our rates are competitive, and we’re confident we offer the best price in Tyler for the quality and service you get. Every quote is free, and we’re happy to walk you through exactly what affects your cost: the size of the dumpster, how long you keep it, and the type of debris you’re disposing of (some materials cost more to process; we’ll explain all of that upfront).
We also offer volume discounts for contractors and repeat customers, and we’re willing to work with you on pricing if you’re managing multiple rentals or long-term projects. If you’re price shopping, we encourage it; just make sure you’re comparing apples to apples. A cheaper price doesn’t mean much if the dumpster shows up late, looks like a rust bucket, or comes with extra fees you didn’t see coming.
Call us for a free quote, and we’ll give you a number you can count on.
We’ve streamlined our process so renting a dumpster is as simple as possible:
That’s it. Three steps, zero stress.

| Answers to Common Customer Questions & Concerns | ||
| How do I select the right dumpster size? | Start by estimating the volume of debris you'll generate. As a rule of thumb, each 10 cubic yards holds about 3-4 pickup truck loads. If you're unsure, our team is happy to help you choose based on your project type and scope. It's usually better to size up slightly than to run out of space mid-project. We offer Flexible Scheduling and can swap sizes if your needs change. | |
| What happens if I overload the dumpster? | Every dumpster has a fill line marked on the inside; please don't load materials above this line, as overfilled dumpsters can't be safely transported. Additionally, each size has a weight limit based on included tonnage (listed above). If you exceed the weight limit, additional tonnage fees will apply at a per-ton rate. We'll let you know upfront what's included so there are no surprises. Our Transparent Pricing means you always know what you're paying for. | |
| What items are prohibited in dumpsters? | We cannot accept hazardous waste including paint, chemicals, oil, gasoline, batteries, tires, asbestos, medical waste, or electronics. Most household junk, construction debris, furniture, appliances (without refrigerants), yard waste, and general trash are perfectly fine. If you have specific items you're unsure about, just ask; we're here to help and can suggest proper disposal alternatives for prohibited materials. | |
| Do I need a permit to place a dumpster? | If the dumpster is placed on your private property (like your driveway or yard), you typically don't need a permit. However, if you need to place it on a public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way, you may need a permit from your city or county. We're familiar with local Tyler and Smith County regulations and can guide you through the permit process if needed. | |
| Where should I place the dumpster on my property? | The best location is a flat, stable surface with easy access for our delivery truck; typically your driveway. Make sure there's clear overhead clearance (at least 15-20 feet) for power lines, tree branches, and other obstacles. We use protective boards under the dumpster to prevent damage to driveways and lawns. Let us know if you have any placement concerns and we'll work with you to find the best spot. | |
| How long can I keep the rental dumpster? | Our standard rental periods are typically 7 or 14 days, but we offer daily, weekly, and monthly rentals to fit your specific timeline. Need to keep it longer? No problem; just let us know and we can arrange an extension. Our Flexible Scheduling approach means we work around your needs, not the other way around. There's no rush to fill it overnight; work at your own pace. | |
| How quickly can you deliver and pick up? | We pride ourselves on Fast and Reliable Delivery; same-day delivery is often available for orders placed early in the day, and next-day delivery is guaranteed. When you're done with the dumpster, we typically pick it up within 24-48 hours of your call, though same-day pickup may be possible depending on our route schedule. Just give us a call when you're ready. | |
| Will the dumpster damage my driveway or property? | We take great care to protect your property. Our delivery team uses protective wooden boards or mats under the dumpster to distribute weight and prevent damage to concrete, asphalt, or pavers. That said, very old or already cracked driveways may be at higher risk. If you have concerns about your surface, let us know in advance and we can discuss the best placement strategy or alternative locations on your property. | |
| What happens to the waste after you pick it up? | As part of our commitment to Eco-Friendly Disposal Practices, we partner with local recycling facilities to sort and recycle materials whenever possible. Construction debris, metals, wood, and other recyclables are diverted from landfills. We handle all waste disposal responsibly and in full compliance with Tyler, Smith County, and Texas environmental regulations, so you can feel good about choosing a sustainable option. | |
