Who we are
A local team, not a national franchise
JK Dumpster Rental runs roll-off dumpster rental for homeowners, contractors and businesses across Washington County — straight, flat-rate pricing and a container delivered by the same company you talked to on the phone. When you call (423) 740-6063, you're booking directly with the company that stands behind your delivery — our truck, our team, our yard, start to finish. There's no outside crew or subcontracted driver in someone else's paint, and no third-party referral network standing between you and the people running the truck.
Our regular route stays focused on Johnson City and the communities around it that make up the core of Washington County and the Tri-Cities region — Jonesborough, Elizabethton, Kingsport, Bristol and Unicoi. It's the same ground our drivers cover every week, which is exactly why we can tell you plainly what a delivery to your street actually involves instead of reading it off a script.
How we run
A small team, not a call center
Every call to (423) 740-6063 rings a real desk connected to our 2303 S Greenwood Dr yard, not a national dispatch queue reading off a script. It's a small team on purpose — people who know a downtown Johnson City block or a steep drive near Buffalo Mountain when they hear it described, can size a container over the phone without guessing, and are still there the next time you call. We'd rather stay small and know the ground we cover than grow past the point of actually knowing it.
The team
The people behind every delivery
Jason Keller
CEO/Owner
Leads JK Dumpster Rental out of our 2303 S Greenwood Dr yard, setting the standard every job runs to — our truck, our team, our yard, start to finish.
Randy Osborne
Operations Manager
Runs day-to-day operations across Johnson City — routing, crew scheduling and every moving piece between a call coming in and a container hitting the ground.
Tyler Buchanan
Lead Driver
Sets more containers on Johnson City driveways and jobsites than anyone else on the crew — careful placement, every time, on every route from 2303 S Greenwood Dr out into Washington County.
Deb Whitson
HR Manager
Keeps the crew staffed, trained and accounted for — the person behind the scenes making sure the right people show up for the right job.
Cheryl Ann Bowers
Fleet & Yard Manager
Manages the fleet and yard out of our 2303 S Greenwood Dr lot, keeping every truck and container ready to roll the same day it's called in.
Amber Sizemore
Office Administrator
Handles the day-to-day office work that keeps orders, invoices and schedules moving without a hitch — usually the first voice you hear when you call.
Doing right by Washington County
We route clean concrete, metal, unpainted wood and other recoverable material toward recovery wherever a job allows it. Tennessee bans whole waste tires, lead-acid batteries and used oil from ordinary landfill disposal outright (Tenn. Code Ann. Sec. 68-211-866(a)), and we handle appliances containing refrigerant the way federal law requires — Clean Air Act Section 608 — rather than dumping them in with everything else. We keep those items out of the regular load and point you to the right drop-off instead of guessing.
Licensed, insured, accountable
Licensed to operate in Tennessee and carrying general liability and commercial auto coverage. Documentation is available the same day for contractors and property managers who need one on file before we come on site.
What we stand on
Things we will not trade away
Local, not a call center
You reach a real Johnson City team, not a national dispatch queue. The person who answers knows which Washington County streets a loaded roll-off can actually turn onto and which local rules apply that day.
Flat-rate pricing, no surprises
Delivery, the rental period, pickup and disposal rolled into one flat-rate price based on the size you book, the debris type and how long you keep it. If something would push you over, we tell you before the truck ever leaves the yard.
Same-day when you need it
Call early and most Johnson City and Washington County orders go out the same or next day. Live jobsite swap-outs get priority over everything else on the schedule.
Run by Jason Keller
Founder & CEO Jason Keller and the JK Dumpster Rental team coordinate every delivery out of our 2303 S Greenwood Dr yard — not a national dispatch desk. We know which Washington County roads a loaded roll-off can actually reach.
The right box, not the biggest
Weight fills a container long before volume does. We will talk you into the smaller can if that is the honest answer for your job.
Loads sorted the right way
Metals, masonry, unpainted wood, drywall, carpet and clean concrete all get routed for recovery instead of buried wherever's easiest — we will tell you what has to come out of the box before it ever reaches the scale.
Where we work
Johnson City, Tennessee
Johnson City takes its name from Henry Johnson, a local merchant, postmaster and railroad-depot founder — not President Andrew Johnson, whose home is a National Historic Site in nearby Greeneville, TN, a common mix-up we're happy to clear up. The settlement traces its roots to the mid-1850s, when Henry Johnson established a store, rail depot and post office at the junction of the planned East Tennessee & Virginia Railroad and an existing stage road — early on, trains stopping to take on water for their boilers gave the spot the nickname "Johnson's Tank." The town received its official Tennessee state charter as "Johnson City" on December 1, 1869, with Henry Johnson serving as its first mayor — the one date in that early story every source agrees on.
We sit primarily in northeastern Washington County, the largest of the three "Tri-Cities" — Johnson City, Kingsport and Bristol — in the Tri-Cities region of East Tennessee, close to both the North Carolina and Virginia state lines. Buffalo Mountain rises more than 2,700 feet just south of downtown, and the Tweetsie Trail — a rail-trail built along the old East Tennessee & Western North Carolina Railroad corridor — runs from Johnson City out to Elizabethton, a stretch a lot of our yard-waste and renovation-cleanup calls come from. East Tennessee State University, founded in 1911, and the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center anchor a good part of the local economy alongside the building and remodeling work that keeps our trucks moving.
As of the 2020 Census, Johnson City counted 71,046 residents — a 2025 Census Bureau estimate, not a fresh headcount, puts that figure higher, at 74,943. Our sitting valley climate is mild and Appalachian rather than coastal, so the season that shapes our own scheduling most is spring: the National Weather Service's Morristown forecast office tracks this region's severe-thunderstorm and tornado risk as peaking in April, with a smaller secondary peak in November, and notes that the immediate mountain terrain around Johnson City tends to blunt the very worst supercell activity compared to the more open Cumberland Plateau farther west. In late September 2024, the remnants of Hurricane Helene brought serious flooding to Southern Appalachia — the worst documented damage close to home landed in neighboring Unicoi County and Carter County, not confirmed as severe direct flooding within Johnson City's own city limits, but it's exactly the kind of regional event that keeps storm-debris cleanup on our radar every fall. On the growth side, the City Commission adopted the Horizon 2045 growth management plan around September 2025, a 20-year framework for capital projects, land use and downtown connectivity — recent, fast-moving news worth knowing as background if a project of yours sits near a piece of it.

Common questions
About JK Dumpster Rental
Who runs JK Dumpster Rental?
Jason Keller, our founder & ceo, leads the company out of our 2303 S Greenwood Dr yard in Johnson City, alongside a small team that books, schedules, drives and follows up on every job across Washington County. There's no national call center between you and the people running your delivery — you're talking to the company itself.
Is it really your own truck and your own crew on every job?
Yes. JK Dumpster Rental runs your rental directly — our truck, our team, our yard, start to finish. We don't pass your job off to another company or a stranger driving a truck in someone else's paint. The person who answers the phone at (423) 740-6063 is the same company that shows up with the container.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — licensed to operate in Tennessee and carrying general liability and commercial auto coverage. Contractors and property managers who need documentation on file before we come on site can ask when they call.
What areas do you cover?
Johnson City and out to Jonesborough, Elizabethton, Kingsport, Bristol and Unicoi — that's our regular run out of the 2303 S Greenwood Dr yard, covering ground across Washington County and into the Tri-Cities region. If your address sits just outside that list, call anyway — we cover a lot of ground beyond it, too.
Do I need a permit for my dumpster?
In most cases, no — a container that sits entirely on your own driveway or property generally does not trigger a placement permit. Curb or right-of-way placement is a different matter and runs through the City of Johnson City's permitting office or Washington County's, depending on your address — see our permit guide below, or just ask when you call and we'll tell you plainly what applies to your address.
My street is narrow, or I'm not sure a container will fit. Can you still deliver?
Almost always, yes. Some of the older blocks around downtown Johnson City, the hillier streets closer to Buffalo Mountain, and tighter drives we cover across Washington County, are something we size and place around regularly. Curb-lane placement, a different driveway angle, or a smaller container set differently are all normal answers. Describe the spot when you call — a two-minute conversation up front beats a failed delivery on the day.
Do you work with contractors and property managers on ongoing accounts?
We do, and a good share of our week is repeat trade with builders, remodeling contractors and property managers running more than one site across Washington County. Accounts get priority scheduling on swap-outs, consistent handling across every site, and one line to call instead of a different vendor for every job.
Roughly what does a dumpster rental cost in Johnson City?
Pricing depends on dumpster size, debris type, and rental period. We keep affordable dumpster rental front and center with flat-rate options — one number covering delivery, the rental period, pickup and disposal. There's no published price list because job specifics genuinely change the number — call and we'll give you a straight, specific quote for your job, free, before anything is scheduled.
Where does the debris actually go?
Loads get routed to appropriate disposal and recycling facilities serving Johnson City and Washington County, including the Iris Glen Environmental Center on E. Main St. Where a job allows it, clean concrete, metal and unpainted wood get routed toward recovery instead of straight disposal, and Tennessee's own landfill ban on whole tires, lead-acid batteries and used oil (Tenn. Code Ann. Sec. 68-211-866(a)) keeps those items out of the regular load — we'll tell you plainly when something needs to be handled separately.
