Dumpster Rental in
Jonesboro, GA
Roll-off dumpsters delivered anywhere in Jonesboro and the rest of Clayton County. Sizes run 10 to 40 yards, and a 10 yard is $550-$615 for a 10-day rental — real local figures, not a teaser rate.
Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
No quote-chasing: the numbers for Georgia are on the page. One call books the container, one account manager owns the order until pickup, and the delivery date you set is the one the truck works to.
Your Jonesboro property usually tells you which container you need before you open a single closet. The older homes near the Jonesboro Historic District and Twin Lakes come with decades of accumulated household junk. A 20 yard fits. Remodels in Embrey Hills and Kunuga Hills throw out drywall, cabinets, and flooring. That stuff stays light. It fills a 30 quickly. Roof work around Drakes Landing brings the heavy tear-off material. A 10 or 20 loaded level is the right call there. Concrete and dirt from a foundation job should always go in the smaller sizes, no matter the volume.
Tara Boulevard runs straight through the middle of Jonesboro. Deliveries near it are the easiest in town. The commercial lots along that corridor give the truck room to line up and set a container down without much thought. The residential streets off it are different. Places like Charlotte Woods or Sussex Manor have narrower drives and more trees. The truck needs roughly 60 feet of straight approach and about 25 feet of overhead clearance. A low limb over a driveway can stop a drop that looked perfect from the front porch. Walk the route from the street to where you want the container before delivery day. Look up as well as down.
Dumpster Sizes in Jonesboro
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Jonesboro, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
The 10 yard is the short container: one room stripped out, a bathroom gut, a small shed. It runs $550 to $615 and sits on a single driveway width.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
A 20 yard holds a kitchen down to the studs and the bathroom that went with it, at $610 to $685. If the debris is mostly shingles or tile, weight decides before space does — say so when you order.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
The 40 yard, $765 to $835, is demolition scale: whole-structure teardowns, commercial cleanouts, major additions. It needs a long, straight, level approach — confirm the space before booking.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
The 15 yard adds height without adding length, so it still fits a normal drive. Good for a garage cleanout plus whatever came off the walls with it.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
The 30 yard is the clearout size: attic, basement and garage in one container, $650 to $715. Tall sides add capacity, not weight allowance, so concrete and dirt still price by weight.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Jonesboro, GA
For homeowners
Cleanouts, moves, remodels, a yard that got away — homeowner debris is mostly light and bulky, and a 10 or 20 yard handles it from the driveway. If the job includes tile, plaster or concrete, say so when you book: dense material changes which size is right.
For contractors
On a build or a gut job in Jonesboro, the debris changes by phase — framing scrap is bulky, demolition is dense, tear-offs are heavier than they look. Matching the container to the phase beats parking one big container for the whole job, and swaps keep the site clear without a second setup.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Jonesboro
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Jonesboro, GA?
Dumpster rental pricing in Jonesboro varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Jonesboro
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $550 – $615 | — | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $610 – $685 | — | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $650 – $715 | — | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $765 – $835 | — | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Jonesboro address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (888) 664-7740 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Jonesboro
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Jonesboro dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Jonesboro dumpster costs range from $550 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $835 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 is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
If the driveway cannot take a container, street placement usually comes down to whether the truck can reach it and whether there is room to block a lane safely. Jonesboro streets like Old Dixie Road and Glynn Street North see enough traffic that an unmarked container left out overnight needs to be watched. Check with the city before you plan on it. Expect that anything sitting in the right of way has to stay clear of fire hydrants and driveways.
Work from what is coming out, not from the size of the house. A single bathroom or one room of flooring fills a 10. A kitchen with cabinets and counters wants the 20. Gut work across several rooms, or a barn with decades of storage in it, is 30 yard territory.
Roofing is its own case. Shingles are heavy for the space they take, so the tonnage allowance runs out long before the walls do. If concrete, brick or dirt is going in, say so when you call, because that changes the answer completely.
When two sizes both look plausible, the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
Every corner of Jonesboro is covered. That includes the established neighborhoods like Jarrard and Thornton Estates, the lake communities around Drakes Landing and Lake Tara, and the newer developments like Barcelona Estates and Emerald Hills. Drivers regularly work through the historic district and out toward Lee Street Park and Amphitheatre. Each area has its own driveway situation. The delivery team has seen them all. If your address is in Jonesboro, it is covered.
It depends where the trucks already are that week. Containers run routes, so a drop gets grouped with other stops heading the same direction, and how quickly one reaches Jonesboro moves with how full the schedule already is.
Call with the dates you have in mind and ask for the current window. Ordering a day or two before you actually want to start loading is the habit that saves people a scramble.
The quote covers 10 days from delivery. That is enough for most single-project rentals, and the clock is not something anyone watches to the hour.
If the job runs long, call before the period ends and the rental can be extended for an additional daily fee. If you finish early, call and the container can come sooner — the pickup date moves if the truck has not been routed yet.
Jonesboro's housing stock spans from the historic homes near the downtown district to newer subdivisions. The permit rule is the same across all of it. A permit is required for a roll-off dumpster placed on public property, including the street or a sidewalk. The city's building or public works department issues it. Private driveways typically do not need one. Call the city office with your delivery date and placement plan to confirm the details.
