Dumpster Rental Memphis, TN — Coast to Coast Disposal

What Size Dumpster Do I Need in Memphis?

Choosing the right dumpster size for your Memphis project depends on the volume and type of debris. Most Memphis homeowners doing a room renovation or garage cleanout are well-served by a 10 or 20-yard container, while roofing tear-offs and full-house cleanouts typically require a 20 or 30-yard unit. Construction contractors handling demolition debris, concrete, or multi-story projects typically use 30 or 40-yard roll-offs.

Dumpster Size	Dimensions (approx.)	Weight Limit	Best For
10-Yard	12 ft × 8 ft × 4 ft	2–3 tons	Small cleanouts, single-room remodels, garage cleanouts
15-Yard	16 ft × 8 ft × 4.5 ft	2–3.5 tons	Bathroom/kitchen remodels, small roofing projects
20-Yard	22 ft × 8 ft × 4.5 ft	3–4 tons	Whole-home cleanouts, deck demolition, mid-size roofing
30-Yard	22 ft × 8 ft × 6 ft	4–5 tons	New construction, major renovations, estate cleanouts
40-Yard	22 ft × 8 ft × 8 ft	5–7 tons	Large commercial builds, full demolition, land clearing

How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Memphis?

Dumpster rental in Memphis, Tennessee is priced based on container size, rental duration, and debris weight. Coast to Coast Disposal uses flat-rate pricing — you receive an all-in quote upfront that includes delivery, pickup, and disposal up to your included weight limit. Overage charges apply per ton if debris exceeds the allowance.

Factors that affect your final cost include:

• Container size — larger dumpsters carry a higher base rate
• Rental duration — standard periods run 7–14 days; extended rentals are available
• Debris type — heavy materials like concrete, brick, and dirt may require a dedicated heavy-debris container
• Placement location — street placement requires a City of Memphis ROW Obstruction Permit (see below)

Do I Need a Permit to Rent a Dumpster in Memphis?

No permit is required to place a dumpster on private property in Memphis, Tennessee. Dumpsters placed entirely on your driveway or within your property lines can be delivered without any city paperwork. However, if the dumpster needs to sit on a public street or sidewalk, the City of Memphis requires a Right-of-Way (ROW) Obstruction Permit from the Memphis Engineering Division before placement.^[2]

• Private property (driveway, lot): No permit required
• Public street or sidewalk: ROW Obstruction Permit required — allow 1–5 business days
• Permit fees: Vary by location and duration; contact Memphis City Hall to confirm current rates
• HOA communities: Many neighborhoods in Germantown, Collierville, and Bartlett have their own container placement policies — check with your HOA before booking^[3]

Our team can help you determine whether your project location requires a permit. Call 901-300-9806 before scheduling if you have any questions about placement.
