Styles across the district include Colonial Revival, American Craftsman, Tudor Revival, Mediterranean Revival, Prairie School, Queen Anne and Shingle style [1].

Streets inside the district include Central Avenue, Harbert Avenue, South McLean, Peabody Avenue, Belvedere Boulevard, Carr Avenue and South Willett Street [1].
Giving the exact street and cross street on the booking call helps the driver plan the approach.
Which projects in Central Gardens call for a roll-off?
Projects in Central Gardens that call for a roll-off are the interior updates and cleanouts that century-old houses tend to need. A home built a hundred years ago often carries several layers of past remodels.
- Removing dated kitchens and baths while keeping original trim
- Pulling plaster and lath during rewiring or plumbing upgrades
- Clearing attics and basements before a sale
- Replacing a worn roof, since shingles are accepted in a standard roll-off
- Hauling away overgrown shrubs and limbs after yard work
Do historic rules affect a dumpster in Central Gardens?
Historic rules in Central Gardens cover exterior work, which requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Memphis Landmarks Commission [1]. The neighborhood is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is one of three historic conservation zones in Memphis [1].
Design Guidelines for that exterior work are available [1]. Owners planning a porch, siding or window project should confirm approvals before demolition starts. Container placement on the street is a separate matter covered in the Memphis dumpster permit guide.
Which container size works best for a Central Gardens house?
The container size that works best for a Central Gardens house depends on how much of the home is being opened up. Plaster debris is dense and bulky, so it fills space quickly.
- Ten yard box, about three pickup beds: one bathroom or a single-room plaster job.
- Twenty yard box, about six pickup beds: a kitchen gut or a full attic and basement clearing.
- Thirty yard box, about nine pickup beds: a multi-room renovation of a foursquare.
- Forty yard box, about twelve pickup beds: whole-house restoration debris.
Old brick from a chimney or garden wall cannot ride with general debris. Brick, along with concrete, block, asphalt and dirt, needs a separate container.
How should a container be placed among mature trees?
A container should be placed where there is open sky above the spot and firm ground below. Central Gardens holds a level 3 arboretum designation from the state of Tennessee, first granted in 2008 and recertified in December 2019 [1].
That tree canopy is a draw for residents, and it also means checking for low limbs over the driveway. Describe any branches or wires during the booking call so the drop spot can be adjusted.
Which Central Gardens landmarks help with directions?
Central Gardens landmarks that help with directions include Grace-St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and Idlewild Elementary School [1]. Central High School sits just outside the neighborhood [1].
Naming a nearby landmark on the booking call gives the driver an easy reference point.
