Dumpster Rentals in
Jackson, MS

In most cases, no. If the dumpster sits entirely on private property, such as a driveway, yard, or private parking lot, the City of Jackson does not require a permit, and this covers the majority of residential rentals. A permit is required when any portion of the container occupies the public right-of-way, including the street, curb, or sidewalk.

Those placements are handled by the City of Jackson Department of Public Works, Engineering Division, at 219 S. President Street, Jackson, MS 39201, reachable at (601) 960-0794. If you are unsure whether your placement crosses into the right-of-way, contact your ZTERS representative before scheduling and we can confirm the requirements for you.

Jackson dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and other factors. Jackson dumpster costs range from $389 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $664 for a 40 yard dumpster.

Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery costs average about $135 depending on distance, dumpster size, and current fuel prices. Here is an estimate of ZTERS Jackson dumpster prices by size:

For most renters, the most efficient approach is to have your dumpster company handle the permit. If your placement requires a right-of-way permit because the bin will sit on a street, curb, or sidewalk, ZTERS can coordinate the application, include the cost in your rental, and align approval with your delivery date.

Property owners who prefer to file directly apply through the City of Jackson Department of Public Works, Engineering Division, at 219 S. President Street, Jackson, MS 39201; the department can be reached at (601) 960-0794 and is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you are unsure which permit applies to your project, contact your ZTERS representative before scheduling, and a brief consultation can confirm the requirements and, in many cases, let the permit be handled at booking.

Yes, with a permit. Any time a roll-off occupies the public right-of-way, including the street, curb, or sidewalk, the City of Jackson requires authorization in advance so the container does not impede traffic, emergency vehicles, or pedestrian access. Those placements are coordinated through the City of Jackson Department of Public Works, Engineering Division, at 219 S. President Street, reachable at (601) 960-0794.

As a general rule, the container should be kept clear of fire hydrants, storm drains, driveways, intersections, and crosswalks, and visible markings such as reflective tape or cones are commonly required. For most renters, the most efficient option is to have ZTERS coordinate the permit at booking, so the cost is included in the rental and approval is timed to delivery.

ZTERS provides service throughout the City of Jackson and the surrounding metro. Inside the city, this includes Belhaven and the Belhaven Heights historic district, Fondren, Eastover, Broadmoor, Sherwood Forest, Woodland Hills, Galloway, and the rest of Northeast Jackson, along with downtown, Midtown, West Jackson, South Jackson, and the Presidential Hills and Washington Addition areas.

Coverage extends across the metro to Ridgeland, Madison, Pearl, Flowood, Brandon, Clinton, Byram, Richland, Florence, and Raymond. If your project falls within a Jackson-area zip code, ZTERS can almost certainly arrange delivery; for addresses at the edges of the metro, a brief call with a ZTERS representative will confirm coverage and pricing.

Delivery timing depends on when the order is placed and the current capacity of local haulers. Same-day delivery is generally possible when an order is placed before 10 a.m. and the customer is flexible on size. Next-day delivery is more typical for orders placed later in the day. For routine planning, 2 to 3 business days is the safer estimate. During peak remodeling and roofing seasons, and in the days following severe spring storms across central Mississippi, 3 to 5 days of lead time is more realistic given high demand.

Booking three to four days ahead provides the most flexibility on size, time window, and placement. Same-day requests are subject to remaining route capacity, which may mean accepting a different size or scheduling for the following day. For unexpected situations such as storm cleanup or an accelerated contractor schedule, contact ZTERS directly and we will find the fastest available option.

The right size depends on the scope of the project and the density of the debris. A single bathroom remodel typically fits in a 10 or 15 yard, with the 10 yard preferred when heavy tile or concrete backer board is involved, since dense material hits the weight cap before it fills the bin. A master bath or full kitchen remodel calls for a 20 yard. Multi-room renovations and additions move to a 25 or 30 yard, and whole-house renovations or major demolitions fall in the 30 to 40 yard range. For roof tear-offs, a 20 yard handles roughly 2,500 to 3,000 square feet of single-layer asphalt shingles, which covers most Jackson homes; larger homes or multiple layers usually need a 30 yard.

Because central Mississippi sees heavy rain, keep debris below the rim so standing water does not add weight; a load that hit the weight cap from soaked debris can trigger overage fees. When choosing between two sizes, sizing up is usually the better value, since the price difference is typically far smaller than the cost of a second haul.
