Dumpster Rental in Jackson, Tennessee

Dumpster rental prices in Jackson are in line with the broader West Tennessee market. Here's a realistic breakdown of what you'll pay in 2026:

• 10-yard dumpster — $280–$340, good for single-room cleanouts, small bathroom demos, or yard debris
• 15-yard dumpster — $320–$390, ideal for two-room renovations, deck tearoffs, or mid-size junk removal
• 20-yard dumpster — $370–$450, the most popular size for whole-house cleanouts and kitchen or flooring remodels
• 30-yard dumpster — $440–$510, suited for large renovation projects, commercial site cleanups, and roofing jobs on larger structures
• 40-yard dumpster — $500–$580, used for major construction, full demolitions, and multi-unit projects

Standard rental periods run 7–14 days, and most containers come with a 1–2 ton weight allowance. Overage fees in Jackson typically run $55–$80 per additional ton — concrete, brick, and roofing shingles add up fast, so ask about weight limits before you load heavy materials.

If your dumpster lands on private property — your driveway, a jobsite, or a commercial lot — no permit is required in Jackson. The permit requirement kicks in only when you need to place the container on a public street, sidewalk, or city right-of-way.

For street placements, contact the City of Jackson's Permits & Licenses Department through the Revenue Department at Jackson City Hall. The city's public works and code enforcement offices handle right-of-way requests. Allow 2–3 business days before your intended delivery date to avoid delays.

• Containers on public roadways must use reflective cones or markers for nighttime visibility
• The container cannot block fire hydrants, ADA curb ramps, or building emergency access points
• Commercial job sites with street-adjacent containers typically need a permit even for short-term placements
• Properties in older downtown Jackson neighborhoods (38301) may have narrower streets — smaller 10–15 yard containers often work better than a full 30 or 40-yard in these areas

For residential driveways, ask the driver to place wood planks or plywood boards under the container's wheels if you have older concrete or asphalt — the weight of a loaded 20-yard container can crack brittle surfaces.

The primary disposal site for roll-off loads originating in Jackson and Madison County is the Republic Services Jackson Madison County Landfill, located at 550 Aaron Long Rd, Jackson, TN 38301 — reachable at (731) 424-6404. The facility is a non-hazardous solid waste landfill accepting construction and demolition debris, household waste, and recyclable material. Hours run Monday–Friday 8 AM–5 PM and Saturday 8 AM–12 PM. Disposal fees run approximately $75 per ton with a $40 minimum for loads under 1,000 lbs.

Madison County also operates solid waste convenience centers at Pipkin, Passmore, and Oakfield locations for county residents disposing of smaller loads. LRS (Logistics Recycling Solutions) also operates a transfer station in Jackson for recyclable and general waste streams.

Tennessee DEA regulations apply statewide and prohibit these materials from roll-off containers:

• Tires, lead-acid batteries, and consumer electronics
• Hazardous chemicals, paint, solvents, and motor oil
• Asbestos-containing materials (common in pre-1980 Jackson construction)
• Medical and biohazardous waste
• Refrigerant-containing appliances — must be evacuated by a certified technician before disposal
• Flammable liquids and propane tanks

Jackson and Madison County periodically hold household hazardous waste collection events for residents needing to dispose of paint, chemicals, and electronics. Contact Madison County Solid Waste (madisoncountytn.gov) for the current schedule.

Jackson is West Tennessee's largest city and the economic hub of a 17-county region. The city's mix of healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and residential development generates consistent demand for roll-off containers across a range of project types:

• Home renovations in established neighborhoods — Midtown Jackson, the Old Hickory Boulevard corridor, and the historic Lambuth area see steady kitchen, bathroom, and whole-house remodels that generate heavy debris loads
• Roofing tearoffs — West Tennessee's spring storm season drives significant roofing demand. A 20-yard dumpster handles a standard residential shingle tearoff; larger homes and commercial roofs often need 30-yard containers
• Estate and full-house cleanouts — Jackson's older housing stock in the 38301 and 38302 ZIP codes produces consistent estate cleanout demand throughout the year
• Commercial buildouts near Old Hickory Boulevard and US-45 — Jackson's retail and commercial corridors along Old Hickory Blvd and the US-45 bypass see frequent tenant improvements and construction cleanups requiring 30–40 yard containers
• Rental property turnovers — Jackson's rental market, fed in part by Union University and the Jackson State Community College student population, creates seasonal cleanout demand, particularly in late spring and late summer
• Landscaping and brush removal — North Jackson residential neighborhoods and Madison County suburban areas generate significant yard waste in spring, filling 10-yard containers with stumps, brush, and storm debris
• Industrial and manufacturing cleanup — Jackson hosts a significant manufacturing base (Procter & Gamble, Pringles/Kellogg's plant) that generates periodic large-volume debris requiring commercial roll-off service

For most residential jobs, a 20-yard roll off is the smart choice — it handles the majority of renovation and cleanout loads at a manageable price point. When your project involves concrete, brick, tile, or roofing materials, choose size based on weight as much as volume.

Jackson's position at the intersection of I-40 and US-45 gives local haulers excellent access to nearly every part of the city and Madison County. Most Jackson-area providers offer same-day or next-day delivery across the metro area, with service extending into surrounding Madison County communities like Denmark, Mercer, and Bemiss.

A few delivery considerations by area:

• Downtown Jackson (38301, 38302) — Older commercial and historic residential blocks; some streets are narrow and have overhead obstructions. A 10–20 yard container is typically more practical than a 30 or 40-yard in tight alley or curbside situations. Street permit required for right-of-way placement.
• North Jackson (38305) — Predominantly residential with wide streets and large driveways; standard roll-off truck access is generally straightforward. This ZIP is one of Jackson's fastest-growing areas with new subdivision development.
• West Jackson (38304) — Healthcare and education district near Jackson-Madison County General Hospital; mix of commercial and residential. Driveway placement standard; street placement needs coordination.
• East and South Jackson (38301 outer, 38306) — Suburban residential and light industrial; good truck access and typical delivery logistics apply.

When booking, give your hauler the exact delivery address, driveway surface type (concrete, asphalt, gravel), and flag any low-clearance utility lines or tight entry points. A quick description prevents delivery delays and protects your driveway. Jackson's flat terrain makes container placement easier than in hillier East Tennessee markets.
