How Much Does a Roll-Off Dumpster Rental Cost in Memphis?
Price comes down to three things: size, how many days you keep it, and what you're throwing away. A day rental starts at 51 dollars on the low end and tops out around 112 dollars for the same short window, based on the size you pick. Weekly rentals shift the math entirely, running 426 to 778 dollars because the company is committing the box to your job site for seven days instead of one. Monthly rates look strange at first glance, 91 to 500 dollars, but that spread reflects everything from a small 10 yard box left on a quiet residential job to a large unit sitting on a busy commercial site for weeks. Weekend rentals for cleanouts or quick renovation jobs run 390 to 497 dollars. If you're comparing a 10 yard dumpster rental against a 20 yard dumpster rental, the size difference matters more than the day count once you're past a week. Delivery is its own line item, and most delivery fees in Memphis fall between 100 and 500 dollars for a single day window. Check dumpster sizes and dimensions before you commit to a number, because guessing wrong on size costs more than guessing wrong on days.
What Affects 10 Yard Dumpster Rental Prices Near Me?
A 10 yard box is the cheapest option per day, but "cheapest" doesn't mean the same thing across every job. Distance from the yard, how long the box sits, and what's going into it all move the price. Memphis Porta Pros prices day rentals starting at 51 dollars, with the upper end near 112 dollars depending on tonnage and location. If your job is in Germantown, 11.4 miles east of Memphis, or out toward Collierville at 20.9 miles east, expect the delivery fee to reflect that extra mileage. A 10 yard box works for a single bathroom gut job or a garage cleanout. It does not work for a full roof tear-off or a whole-house renovation, where debris volume climbs fast. Weight matters too. Roofing shingles and concrete debris weigh far more per cubic yard than drywall or furniture, and overweight loads can trigger extra charges. Read dumpster weight limits before you load the box, and check what cannot go in a dumpster so you're not stuck sorting hazardous material back out. For most Memphis homeowners doing a single-room job, a day or weekend rental on a 10 yard box beats paying for a week you don't need.
Why Do 20 Yard Dumpster Rental Prices Near Me Run Higher?
A 20 yard box holds roughly double the debris of a 10 yard unit, and the price reflects that jump in both size and hauling weight. Contractors doing a kitchen remodel, a flooring tear-out, or a mid-size demo job typically land on 20 yard as the sweet spot. Standard-size day rentals in Memphis run 100 to 350 dollars, and the same size on a week-long rental climbs to 130 to 500 dollars because the company loses the ability to turn that unit for another customer during that stretch. Monthly rentals for a standard box run 125 to 325 dollars, which sounds cheaper than weekly at first read but usually applies to lower-volume, longer-duration jobs where the box isn't filling and dumping repeatedly. If you're running a construction dumpster rental on an active build site in Memphis, you'll likely need the box longer than a weekend, and a week or month rate makes more financial sense than daily rebooking. Compare against a 30 yard dumpster rental if your job produces heavier debris loads, since the per-yard cost narrows as size goes up.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | 51 | 75 | 112 |
| week | 426 | 600 | 778 |
| month | 91 | 108 | 500 |
Is Delivery Included in the Dumpster Rental Cost?
Delivery is almost never bundled into the base rental price. Expect a separate delivery fee running 100 to 500 dollars for a single day window, or 50 to 150 dollars if it's folded into a weekly agreement. A roll-off truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to place the box safely, so tight driveways or narrow alleys in older Memphis neighborhoods can complicate placement. If your site sits in a right-of-way or blocks a sidewalk, placement rules need confirming with the city before delivery day; that's not something to guess at. Some jobs near West Memphis, 14.6 miles west across the river, or Marion at 18.6 miles northwest, may see slightly different delivery windows depending on route and traffic. Ask your provider to quote delivery and pickup as a single number so there's no surprise add-on. For active job sites needing more than one waste stream, pair the dumpster with temporary fence rental or a light tower rental to keep the site secure and lit after hours.
Does Job Type Change What I Pay for a Roll-Off?
Yes. A quiet residential cleanout costs less than an active commercial demo, mostly because of debris weight and how long the box needs to stay. Home renovation jobs, covered in more detail on home renovation porta potty planning pages, usually pair a dumpster with a portable toilet since crews are on-site for days or weeks. Construction crews juggling OSHA rules should also plan sanitation alongside waste. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets toilet counts by crew size on construction sites, separate from dumpster planning but relevant if you're running a multi-week job in Memphis with a crew on-site daily. Housekeeping rules under OSHA 1926.25 require scrap and debris cleared from work areas regularly, which is part of why contractors size their dumpster to match the pace of demo rather than guessing low. If your project involves paint stripping or chemical coatings, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that specific work, and a handwashing station rental alongside your dumpster covers that requirement. Larger commercial jobs, including full teardown work, often need a 40 yard dumpster rental instead of stepping up from 20 to 30.
How much does a 10 yard dumpster cost for a weekend?
A weekend rental on a standard-size box typically runs 125 to 400 dollars depending on debris type and delivery distance. That's usually enough for a garage cleanout or small demo job without needing a full week.
Do I need a permit for a roll-off dumpster in Memphis?
Placement in the street or right-of-way needs confirming with the city before delivery. See dumpster permit requirements and porta potty permit requirements for related placement questions on the same job site.
What size dumpster do I need for a kitchen remodel?
Most kitchen remodels fit a 20 yard box, though heavier debris like tile or cabinetry may push you toward 30 yard. Check dumpster sizes and dimensions against your project scope first.
Can I keep a dumpster longer than a week?
Yes, most providers offer monthly terms for active job sites. Monthly rates for standard boxes run 125 to 325 dollars, often cheaper per day than repeated weekly bookings for slow-fill jobs.
What can't go in a roll-off dumpster?
Hazardous materials, tires, and certain electronics are typically excluded. Full details are on what cannot go in a dumpster, worth checking before your first load goes in.
