Dumpster Rental in
Carthage, MS
Roll-off dumpsters delivered anywhere in Carthage and the rest of Leake County. Sizes run 10 to 40 yards, and a 10 yard is $750-$891 for a 10-day rental — real local figures, not a teaser rate.
Mon–Fri 7am–7pm CT
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
No quote-chasing: the numbers for Mississippi 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.
A container set on the driveway outside one of Carthage's in-town homes near McMillian Park usually needs to hold nothing heavier than furniture and mixed junk from a household cleanout — light enough for a 10 or 20 yard. Carthage is a small county seat with more spread-out properties toward Baptist Medical Center Leake. A renovation or a property clearing an old outbuilding runs heavier if concrete, brick, or old flooring is involved — that's the material that decides size, not how big the house looks from the street.
Deliveries along MS 35 are usually straightforward, with enough shoulder and pavement for the truck to line up. Off the main road, driveways run more to gravel, and that's fine as long as the ground underneath is firm — a soft spot after rain is the real risk, not the surface itself. Near Carthage-Leake County Airport, addresses can be easy to mix up from the road, so give the driver a clear description of the drop point. Check overhead for low limbs or lines before the truck arrives, since the bed tilts high to set the container down.
Dumpster Sizes in Carthage
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Carthage, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
Smallest of the fleet, the 10 yard takes a bathroom gut or one room's flooring without wasting driveway. $750 to $891, and it leaves space for a car beside it.
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.
Renovation debris — cabinets, drywall, subfloor, trim — is what the 20 yard is built around, at $855 to $1005. When two sizes both look right, this is the safer middle.
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.
Commercial jobs and full demolitions book the 40 yard, $1040 to $1195. If the approach bends or slopes, ask about running two smaller containers instead.
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 carries the awkward loads: couches, cabinets, forty bags from an attic. Taller than the 10, no longer, so the truck places it anywhere a 10 goes.
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, $910 to $1040, is for volume: full-house clearouts, siding jobs, framing scrap. Bulky and light is its business; dense material belongs in a smaller size.
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 Carthage, MS
For homeowners
House projects throw out more shapes than pounds — mattresses, shelving, bagged clothes, torn-out cabinets. A 10 or 20 yard takes most of them. The exception is tile or plaster work, which runs heavy for its size; mention it when you order and the right container follows.
For contractors
Contractors mostly need two things: a container that matches the phase and a swap that shows up before the full one blocks the next trade. Demolition and roofing run heavy, so those loads go in smaller containers loaded level; framing and finish stages fill big containers with light scrap.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Carthage
- 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 Carthage, MS?
Dumpster rental pricing in Carthage 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 Carthage
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $750 – $891 | — | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $855 – $1005 | $270 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $910 – $1040 | $225 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $1040 – $1195 | $270 | 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 Carthage 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 (833) 974-8378 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 Carthage
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
Carthage dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Carthage dumpster costs range from $750 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1195 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.
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 Carthage 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 standard window is 10 days, counted from delivery. Most renovations and cleanouts finish well inside it.
The period is not rigid in either direction. A job that runs long can be extended by phone for an additional daily fee, and a container that fills up fast can be collected early if the pickup schedule has room. Either way, one call settles it.
Start with what is leaving the building. A 10 covers one bathroom or one room of flooring. A 20 handles a kitchen. Several rooms at once, or an outbuilding full of old storage, is where the 30 earns its keep.
Roofing throws off the usual math because shingles are dense, and the load hits its tonnage cap while the container still looks half empty. The same goes for concrete, brick and dirt. Say so at booking and the right size follows. If you are stuck between two sizes, the price gap is smaller than the cost of a second haul.
No permit is typically required to place a dumpster on your own driveway or private property in Carthage. If it needs to sit on the street or right-of-way, especially along North State Highway 35, check with the city first since that space is handled case by case.
Preparation is mostly about the truck. It needs a firm, level surface, a straight run at the spot, and clear air above it, because the bed rises well above the container height during the drop.
Beyond that: cars off the driveway before the window opens, gates unlocked, and the spot marked if nobody will be home. If the driveway surface is decorative or freshly sealed, lay plywood where the rails will land. A blocked delivery usually costs a trip charge, so five minutes of prep pays for itself.
The landfill sets the rules, and the short version is: nothing hazardous. Paint, solvents and other liquids, motor oil, fuel, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, medical waste, and appliances still holding refrigerant all stay out.
Ordinary demolition and cleanout debris is fine. Concrete, brick and dirt can go in, but they are billed by weight, so flag them when you book. When in doubt about an item, ask first; it beats paying to have it pulled back out.
