At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Jackson, Tennessee, and the surrounding Madison County area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older housing stock around the downtown grid, steady remodeling along the North Highland and Vann Drive corridors, and new construction out toward the 45 Bypass all keep containers moving for homeowners and contractors here.
Your cost tracks four things: the size you pick, how heavy the debris is, how long you keep the container, and what the receiving landfill charges to take the load. Below you will find price ranges, the city's street rules, what the county sites will and will not accept, and how quickly we can get a container to your address.

Size is the first lever, and in Jackson it is worth getting right the first time. A container that runs out of room mid-project means a second haul, and a second haul costs more than stepping up one size at the start.
Weight is the second lever, and it bites harder here than most people expect. Shingles, brick, mortar and poured concrete fill a weight allowance long before they fill the walls of a container. If your Vann Drive roof tear-off and your driveway demolition are both on the schedule, keeping the dense material in its own container usually comes out cheaper than mixing it.
Where the load lands is the third lever. Container loads from Jackson go to the Jackson-Madison County Landfill, and the fees there are set at the gate rather than by us. Jackson's own refuse rules tell you a lot about who handles what: the City arranges commercial container service through a contractor and bills those accounts itself, while a container you rent for a short project sits outside that arrangement entirely.
The fourth lever is local timing. The City requires every home and business to be on its collection service, so a container is additional to the monthly utility charge rather than a replacement for it. The City also includes twelve bulk pickups per calendar year for one and two-family homes, covering items over fifty pounds or larger than a city cart, and every one of them has to be scheduled in advance. A single renovation will use that allowance up fast, which is usually the point where a container becomes the cheaper answer. Your account manager can walk through the arithmetic with you before you commit to a size.

Work from the volume of the Jackson job, then test it against the weight. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards, and the right one depends on what you are tearing out.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one to reach for when the material is dense rather than bulky. A bathroom gut, a small patio removal, or a load of brick and block will hit the weight ceiling with room still showing above the load line, and that is normal.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a two-car garage cleanout, a single-room flooring pull, or a small roof section. It gives you breathing room over the smallest size without a big jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the workhorse for Jackson households. Whole-house cleanouts, kitchen and bath projects running at the same time, and multi-room carpet and drywall removal all fit comfortably.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is sized for additions, new builds and heavier demolition, where mixed debris piles up quickly and you would rather not stop to swap containers.
The 40-Yard Dumpster handles the biggest jobs we take on in Madison County, including commercial tear-downs and industrial cleanouts that produce a high volume of light, bulky material.
Describe the job to your account manager and they will match the size to your debris and your access.
On private property, including your own driveway or a fenced job site, Jackson publishes no permit for a container, and that is where most of our deliveries go.
A street or sidewalk placement is a different matter, and Jackson's rule is tighter than most. The city code makes it unlawful to place or pile building material such as lumber, brick, stone, plaster or cement in a street or on a sidewalk unless a permit has been obtained from the building inspector. The code then adds two conditions that have to be met together: the permit may be issued only in connection with the construction, remodeling or repair of a building, and only where the building site does not reasonably allow the material to be stored on it and no other alternative storage site is reasonably available.
Read plainly, that means a street placement in Jackson has to be a necessity rather than a convenience. If your lot has usable driveway or yard space, expect to be pointed back to it. The city's separate obstruction rule also bars leaving any object on an alley, sidewalk, walkway, street or parkway, with unloading allowed only for as long as the unloading actually takes.
Driveway cuts, street cuts and temporary road closures run through a different office. The City of Jackson Engineering Department is at 117 East Main Street, Suite 206, on the second floor of City Hall, and the department's own permits and regulations page lists those along with its hours of 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. You can reach Engineering at 731-425-8220. If you are not sure whether your spot counts as city right-of-way, your account manager will help you find the right desk before your delivery date.
Tennessee publishes no single statewide list of banned materials, so the limits that matter in Jackson come from the city's own rules and from what the receiving site will accept.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos stay out of a standard container everywhere, and Jackson's code says so in its own words. The city defines unacceptable waste to include hazardous waste, untreated medical waste and material that would put its crews, its contractor's equipment or the public at risk. Asbestos and other non-friable material fall under a separate special waste category that needs clearance from the state environmental department before anyone moves it.
A few local details are easy to trip over. Dead animals cannot go in a container, cart or bag. Yard waste limbs thicker than twelve inches or longer than eight feet are excluded from normal collection. Oil-based paints and stains are taken only by appointment, at 112 Union Street behind the Farmers' Market, through the City of Jackson Health and Sanitation Department on 731-425-8545.
Tires, large appliances and electronics are the three that most often surprise people, because one of them in an otherwise clean load can change how the whole load is handled. Flag them to your account manager when you book and they will sort the destination out in advance.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Container loads from Jackson are taken to the Jackson-Madison County Landfill, which is run under private operation. Disposal there is charged at the gate by weight and by material type, and those charges flow into your quote rather than being set by us.
Madison County also runs a network of Solid Waste Convenience Centers, and it is worth knowing what they are for before anyone drives out to one. The county's own listing is blunt about the limits: the centers are for Madison County residents and household waste only, no commercial waste, no business loads and no large trailers, and the county directs commercial waste and large trailer loads to the landfill instead. Two of the busier sites are the Madison County Solid Waste Convenience Center at 21 Overpass View, on the corner of Pipkin Road, and the Madison County Solid Waste Convenience Center at 130 H.O. Forgy Drive. Both run Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., and every county site closes an hour earlier through November, December and January.
So a container is not a substitute for a county site, and a county site is not a substitute for a container. Your account manager confirms the destination for your particular load before the truck is dispatched, so the cost at the gate is clear up front.
21 Overpass View, Jackson, TN
Open Monday to Saturday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. County residents and household waste only, so it takes no commercial or trailer loads.
130 H.O. Forgy Drive, Jackson, TN
Same hours as the other county sites, closing an hour earlier through November, December and January.
Most Jackson rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days out is worth it here, because a street placement needs the building inspector's sign-off first and that is not a same-day conversation.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
Keep the landfill's own schedule in mind too. A container filled late on a Saturday in Jackson may not be hauled until the following week, so plan the last load of a weekend project accordingly.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery across Jackson and the wider Madison County area, from the downtown grid and the Vann Drive and North Highland corridors out to the smaller communities along the 45 Bypass and Interstate 40. Prime Dumpster also coordinates dumpster rentals in these Tennessee cities: Beech Bluff, 15 miles east · Bartlett, 69 miles southwest · Germantown, 74 miles southwest · Collierville, 79 miles southwest · Memphis, 90 miles southwest. West Tennessee is a thin market for container pages, so several of those sit a little over an hour out. For service elsewhere in the state, visit our Tennessee state page.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, settle where the load is going, and give you a firm number on the call.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
Jackson rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day period. The material you load and the landfill's gate charge move the final number more than anything else. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before delivery.
For most Jackson projects, renting works out cheaper. Self-hauling means paying at the gate on every trip, plus fuel and your own hours, and the county convenience centers will not take a commercial or trailer load at all. Past about two loads, one container usually wins on both cost and time.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving plenty of space for a mattress, a dresser and a stack of boxes. With furniture you will almost always run out of room before you run out of weight allowance.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil and asbestos have no place in a Madison County load. Jackson also keeps dead animals out of any container, and oil-based paints and stains go only to the city's appointment-only drop-off. Tires, appliances and electronics need to be mentioned at booking so the destination can be arranged.
Of the five Jackson sizes the 10-yard container opens cheapest, at $399 to $499. Cheapest on paper is not always cheapest in practice, though: load it with concrete or tile and you can pass the weight allowance while the container still looks half empty. Separating dense material protects the price.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as the five-day period our ranges are built on, because we price by the job rather than by the day. Weight drives your bill far more than calendar days do. Your account manager will tell you the included tonnage and the per-ton overage before the container is delivered.
Most household and construction debris is fine: lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout material. Clean concrete, brick and asphalt are accepted too, and keeping them in a load of their own often costs less to dispose of. When an item is borderline, ask your account manager before it goes in.
