Dumpster Rental in Jonesboro, Arkansas

Dumpster rental in Jonesboro typically runs $220–$450 for a standard 7–10 day rental, reflecting Arkansas's generally competitive pricing market. Here's a rough breakdown by container size:

• 10-yard dumpster: $220–$320 — small cleanouts, single-room remodels, light landscaping debris
• 20-yard dumpster: $290–$390 — kitchen or bath remodels, flooring tear-outs, medium estate cleanouts
• 30-yard dumpster: $360–$450 — whole-home cleanouts, roofing jobs, larger renovation projects
• 40-yard dumpster: $400–$520 — commercial builds, large demolition, multi-unit cleanouts

Weight limits matter here. Most 20-yard containers include a 2-ton allowance. Heavy materials like concrete, brick, and asphalt shingles eat into that fast. Ask your provider about per-ton overage fees before you start loading — they typically run $50–$85 per additional ton in Craighead County.

For residential projects where the container stays entirely on your driveway or private property, no permit is required in Jonesboro. The rules change if you need to place the dumpster on a city street or public right-of-way.

Street placement in Jonesboro requires a permit from the City Clerk's Office. The permit process involves providing the placement location, container dimensions, and expected duration. Residential street permits are relatively easy to obtain, but commercial placements — especially anything lasting more than a few days on a public road — require advance coordination with the city.

Practically speaking, most homeowners in neighborhoods like Brookfield (72404), Stone Creek (72401), and older subdivisions off Parker Road (72404) have driveways wide enough to accommodate a 20-yard container without touching the street. If your driveway is narrow or shared, plan ahead and call the city about permit timing.

Roll-off container contents collected in Jonesboro are hauled to Legacy Landfill, located at 238 County Road 476, Jonesboro, AR 72404. The landfill is operated by the Craighead County Solid Waste Disposal Authority and is the primary disposal destination for all solid waste generated within Craighead County.

The facility is open Monday–Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to noon. Current tipping fees run $44.75 per ton plus sales tax, with a $10 minimum for loads under 420 lbs. One important note: Craighead County waste must stay in Craighead County — roll-off loads cannot be exported to neighboring counties, and out-of-county waste is not accepted at the landfill.

For hazardous materials that can't go in a standard roll-off — paints, solvents, motor oil, propane tanks — Jonesboro residents can contact the Arkansas DEQ Household Hazardous Waste program for drop-off events and disposal options. Never put hazardous materials in a rented dumpster; it creates legal liability and your provider will charge a contamination fee.

Jonesboro is the largest city in northeast Arkansas, with a mix of established residential neighborhoods, active university-area rentals around ASU, and steady commercial development along Stadium Boulevard and Highland Drive. That mix keeps roll-off demand strong year-round.

• Estate cleanouts and foreclosure cleanups — Jonesboro's older housing stock in the 72401 ZIP produces steady demand for full-home cleanout dumpsters
• Roof replacements — storm damage and aging shingles drive roofing jobs; a 20 or 30-yard container handles most residential roofs
• Kitchen and bathroom remodels — cabinetry, tile, drywall, and fixture removal fill a 10 or 20-yard bin quickly
• Student move-outs — landlords near Arkansas State University (ZIP 72467) often rent dumpsters between lease terms to clear out abandoned furniture and junk
• Commercial construction — ongoing retail and medical development along Caraway Road and Race Street generates large ongoing roll-off needs
• Yard debris and landscaping — tree removal and heavy landscaping work; note that dirt and brush are heavy, so size down if you're filling with soil or sod

Standard household and construction debris is generally fine: furniture, appliances (drained of fluids), lumber, drywall, flooring, roofing shingles, concrete (within weight limits), and general junk. Arkansas DEQ regulations and Craighead County rules prohibit the following from roll-off containers:

• Tires — Legacy Landfill does not accept tires; take to a licensed tire retailer or county tire collection event
• Batteries — car batteries and lithium batteries require separate disposal
• Electronics (e-waste) — computers, TVs, monitors
• Hazardous chemicals — paints, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, motor oil
• Medical waste and sharps
• Asbestos-containing materials — requires specialized abatement and licensed disposal
• Flammable liquids and propane tanks
• Refrigerant-containing appliances — must have refrigerants evacuated by a certified technician first

If you're unsure about a specific item, call your rental company before tossing it in. Contaminated loads get flagged at the landfill and can result in extra fees — typically $100–$250 — added to your final bill at pickup.
