How much does a 40ft storage container cost in Memphis?
Pricing depends on how long you keep the unit and what condition you need. Storage containers in the Memphis market run in a monthly band, and a 40 foot box sits at the higher end of that range compared to a 20 foot unit. Check current numbers on our storage container rental cost page before you commit. Most customers pair a container with other construction site services like a roll-off dumpster rental or a temporary fence rental around the perimeter for security. If you are comparing sizes first, our 20ft storage container page breaks down the smaller option side by side. Delivery adds a separate charge, and that fee is billed on its own schedule regardless of how long you keep the box.

What fits inside a 40ft storage container?
A 40 foot container holds furniture from a full house, a construction crew's tools and materials, or overflow inventory for a growing business. Contractors working near Germantown, 11.4 miles east of Memphis, often rent one alongside a mobile office trailer rental to keep the job site organized. If your load is smaller, our 40ft storage container sibling page for the 20 foot size may fit better. Renovation crews frequently order a container next to a home renovation porta potty so the crew has both storage and a restroom on site from day one. For weight-heavy debris instead of storage, look at dumpster sizes and dimensions to see which roll-off fits the job. Delivery needs open ground, and a straight approach matters. A roll-off delivery truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it, and the same clearance logic applies when a container truck backs a 40 foot box onto a driveway or lot.
Can I place a container at my Memphis address without a permit?
Placement rules depend on where the container sits, and that needs confirming with the city before delivery. If the box sits fully on private property, most residential jobs move forward without incident, but anything touching a public right of way, sidewalk or street needs a call to the city first. We have not verified a specific Memphis ordinance number for container placement, so do not assume one from a neighboring city applies here. Read our dumpster permit requirements page for the same right of way logic applied to roll-offs, since the placement questions overlap closely. Customers near Southaven, 12.6 miles south, and Olive Branch, 13.6 miles southeast, should check their own municipal rules separately since Mississippi permitting differs from Memphis city code. When in doubt, request a quote and we will flag any placement concern before the truck rolls.
How long can I rent a 40ft storage container?
Rental terms run month to month, and most customers keep a container for a full renovation, move or build-out cycle. There is no fixed maximum. Some jobs run one month, others run a full year of construction. Talk to Memphis Porta Pros about a longer-term rate if your project timeline stretches past a few months.
Does Memphis Porta Pros deliver 40ft containers outside the city?
Yes. Crews near West Memphis, 14.6 miles west, and Collierville, 20.9 miles east, are within normal delivery range. Check our service areas page for the full list of nearby towns we reach, including Hernando and Marion.
Do I need a permit for a 40ft container on my property?
It depends on placement. Private driveways generally do not require anything, but right of way placement needs a direct check with the city. See porta potty permit requirements for the same right of way principle applied to portable sanitation.
What is the difference between a 20ft and 40ft container?
A 40 foot unit roughly doubles the interior space of a 20 foot box, better for full household moves, larger inventories or multi-trade job sites. Compare both directly on storage container rental.
Can I rent a container and a dumpster together?
Yes, and many Memphis contractors do exactly that. Pair a container for equipment storage with a 10 yard dumpster rental or larger for debris, keeping storage and waste hauling on separate schedules.
