Storage Container Rental Cost in Memphis, TN

Do I Need a Permit for a Storage Container in Memphis?

Placement rules for a storage container on a public street or right-of-way in Memphis need confirming with the city before delivery day. Memphis Porta Pros has not verified a specific ordinance number for container placement, and rather than guess, we tell every customer to check with the city if the unit will sit anywhere near a curb, sidewalk or shared driveway. If the container stays fully on private property, that conversation is usually shorter. This is the same caution we give customers asking about dumpster permit requirements, since roll-off placement runs into similar questions about right-of-way, questions we also answer on the porta potty permit requirements page. When in doubt, call the city first. It's a faster fix before delivery than after.

Storage isn't the only piece of a job site that needs planning. Crews running a renovation often pair a container with a construction dumpster rental for debris, a standard porta potty rental for the crew, and sometimes a temporary fence rental to secure the site overnight. West Memphis, AR, 14.6 miles west across the river, and Marion, AR, 18.6 miles northwest, are both within our regular delivery range for combined orders like this.

How much does a storage container rental cost per month in Memphis?

Monthly rates run $100 to $250 depending on size, with $125 as a common rate for a standard unit. A 40ft container costs more than a 20ft container. Delivery is billed separately, typically $120 to $420 depending on distance and job specifics.

What size storage container do I need?

It depends on what you're storing. A 20ft container suits tools and smaller equipment for a home renovation. A 40ft unit fits furniture, larger machinery or inventory for a longer commercial project. Ask when you request a quote and we can help size it right, whether that's a 20ft storage container or a 40ft storage container.

How long can I rent a storage container?

Most customers rent by the month, and rentals can run for a single month or extend across a multi-month project. Longer terms usually run a better monthly rate than a short one-month order. There's no fixed maximum, so let us know your project timeline.

Does the delivery fee change based on my location?

Yes. Delivery pricing depends on distance from our yard and site access. Locations closer to Memphis proper typically cost less to deliver to than sites farther out toward Hernando, MS, 20.3 miles south, or Lakeland, TN, 20.9 miles northeast.

Can I get a refrigerated storage container in Memphis?

Refrigerated units are available as a specialty request, priced separately from standard dry containers. Call ahead so we can confirm availability and delivery timing, since these units are more limited than standard 20ft or 40ft boxes.
