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.
The truck pulls in, the gate swings open, and in Lexington — a small county seat — what usually comes out is either a house or a farm building. In town that means kitchen and bathroom remodels, a garage cleanout, or clearing out a house after a move. Out toward the edges it's more likely an old barn or a tenant house coming down, which throws off heavier lumber and roofing than a typical remodel. A 10 or 20 yard covers most household jobs here; a torn-off roof or a demolition pushes toward a 30 or 40.
Most drops in Lexington sit on a home driveway or a gravel farm lane, and either one works as long as the truck has a straight shot in off MS 17 or Yazoo Street. Near UMMC Holmes County the streets are tighter and parking fills up during the day, so a driveway drop is easier to line up than a curbside one. Out toward Durant the lanes are longer and less traveled, which usually makes placement simpler, not harder. Either way, walk your driveway or lane once and clear anything low overhead before the truck shows up.
Dumpster Sizes in Lexington
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Lexington, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
One stripped room, a shed coming down, the end of a long-postponed cleanout: the 10 yard takes it for $760 to $960 and fits where bigger containers cannot.
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 $870 to $1070. 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.
Commercial jobs and full demolitions book the 40 yard, $1070 to $1285. 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 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, $919 to $1100. 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 Lexington, MS
For homeowners
Most household jobs are cleanouts and remodels: furniture, boxes, carpet, cabinets, the layers a house builds up over years. That debris is bulky rather than heavy, so a 10 or 20 yard on a Lexington driveway usually covers it, with room left to park beside it.
For contractors
A jobsite container earns its keep on turnaround. One account manager handles the drops and swaps, the size tracks what the phase produces, and the staging spot needs a straight approach so a loaded truck is not threading parked equipment. Heavy phases go in smaller containers loaded level.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Lexington
- 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 Lexington, MS?
Dumpster rental pricing in Lexington 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 Lexington
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $760 – $960 | $250 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $870 – $1070 | $435 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $919 – $1100 | $452 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $1070 – $1285 | $595 | 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 Lexington 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) 880-9184 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 Lexington
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
Lexington dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Lexington dumpster costs range from $760 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1285 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.
Almost everything from a renovation or cleanout is accepted. The exceptions come from the disposal facility, not from us: paint and liquids, motor oil, fuel, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, medical waste, and appliances with refrigerant still in them.
Heavy masonry, concrete and dirt are allowed but priced by weight, which is worth mentioning at booking instead of discovering at the scale. Unsure about something? Ask before it goes in.
Mississippi doesn't require a state permit for a roll-off dumpster kept on private property, and that's the case for a Lexington driveway or yard as well.
A permit only comes into play if the container needs to sit in the street or right-of-way, in which case the City of Lexington is who to ask.
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.
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 Lexington 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.
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.
For a dumpster placed on your own property in Lexington, there's nothing to apply for.
If the spot you need is in the street or on city right-of-way, contact the City of Lexington directly to check on placement there.
