Why We Started T5
We’re Thomas and Taylor, two lifelong Nashvillians who met during our freshman year of high school and have been great friends ever since. More than a decade later, our dream of starting a business together is now a reality, T5 Environmental.
Our goal is simple: provide reliable dumpster rentals backed by QUICK communication, attention to detail, and the kind of service we’d want to receive ourselves.
As owner-operators, we’re involved in every part of the business. We answer the calls, execute the deliveries, and work directly with our customers throughout the rental process.
At the end of the day, we’re building the type of company we’re proud to put our name on. One that reflects our values, serves our community well, and leaves customers feeling confident recommending us to their friends, neighbors, and coworkers.
Born and raised in Nashville. Proud to serve the city we call home.A Few Things About Us
The quick backstory on how two friends from Nashville ended up building a dumpster company together.
The “T” in T5 stands for Taylor and Thomas, and the “5” comes from the jersey number Taylor wore in football and Thomas wore in basketball.
Taylor and Thomas met in their freshman year of high school while playing football and basketball together in Nashville.
During high school and college, Taylor and Thomas spent summers working together at Alexander Metals.
We chose “Environmental” to reflect our commitment to our community and the environment. Even in the early stages of building T5, we commit a portion of our proceeds toward initiatives that help remove CO₂ from the atmosphere.
Our two-tone blue color scheme matches the colors of our favorite team (and soon to be Super Bowl champions), the Tennessee Titans.

What Makes T5 Different
Anybody can drop a metal box in your driveway. Here’s what’s different when the people who own the company are the ones running it.
Personal, Hands-On Service
Call and you get Thomas or Taylor, not a queue and a hold song. The two of them quote it, schedule it, and run the route themselves.
Honest Size Advice
We’d rather send the right dumpster than the biggest one. Tell us the project and we’ll keep you from paying for space you won’t fill.
Same-Day & Emergency Rentals
Caught in a bind? Call early and we’ll do everything we can to get one to you today, including the after-hours and weekend calls others let ring.
Specialty Heavy-Debris Dumpsters
Concrete, dirt, and heavy material need their own dumpster, and we’ve got it. Flag it when you book and we’ll bring the right one.
Our Core Values
These aren’t poster slogans. They’re the rules we actually run on, every call and every pickup, whether anyone’s watching or not.
Communication & Transparency
Honest communication builds trust. If something changes, you hear it from us first, with clear expectations from start to finish.
Service Beyond Expectations
On-time delivery and pickup is just the baseline. Clean dumpsters, protected property, and a smooth job every step of the way.
Friendly & Personable
First-time homeowner or repeat contractor, every call is handled with patience, positivity, and a real willingness to help.
Community Focused
Nashville is our home. We care about this city and the people in it, and we treat every project like a neighbor’s, because most of the time it is.
Serving Nashville & Davidson County
Home base is Nashville, and we run dumpsters about ten miles out across Davidson County. If you’re nearby, there’s a good chance we already cover you.
We also cover Hendersonville and Bellevue, plus the surrounding Davidson County communities. Not sure if we reach you? Send us a message and we’ll confirm before you book.
