Dumpster Rental in Jacksonville, Florida

Whether you need a permit for your dumpster in Jacksonville depends entirely on where it will be placed. Dumpsters placed on private property — a driveway, parking lot, or construction site — require no permit. However, if your dumpster must go on a public street, sidewalk, or other right-of-way, you are required to obtain a Right-of-Way (ROW) permit from the City of Jacksonville.

ROW permits are submitted online through the JAXEPICS system on the City of Jacksonville's official website. You'll need to provide the dumpster dimensions, exact placement location, dates of use, and your rental company's information. Fees typically run $10–$100 per week depending on duration and location, and processing can take 24 hours to several business days — plan ahead.

For projects in HOA-governed neighborhoods, check with your association as well — some require advance notice or placement restrictions beyond what the city mandates.

Jacksonville's dumpster rental market is competitive, with local providers offering flat-rate pricing that covers delivery, pickup, disposal, and a standard rental period (typically 5–7 days). Here's what you can expect to pay:

• 10-yard dumpster: $275–$350 — ideal for small bathroom remodels, single-room cleanouts, or yard debris
• 15-yard dumpster: $325–$400 — good for mid-size cleanouts or a small roofing project
• 20-yard dumpster: $375–$475 — the most popular choice for home renovations and Duval County contractors
• 30-yard dumpster: $475–$575 — suited for whole-home cleanouts, large remodels, and multi-room demolition
• 40-yard dumpster: $550–$700 — for major construction, commercial projects, and large demolition jobs

Overage fees apply when debris exceeds the included weight limit, which typically ranges from 1–3 tons depending on the container size. Concrete, dirt, brick, and roofing shingles are heavy — loading a 20-yard container with nothing but asphalt shingles can easily push you over the limit. Overage charges in Jacksonville generally run $50–$75 per additional ton.

Extended rental periods beyond the standard window usually add $5–$15 per day. Lock in your end date when you book to avoid surprises.

The majority of debris hauled from Jacksonville roll-off dumpsters is processed at Trail Ridge Landfill, located at 5110 US Hwy 301 S in Baldwin, approximately 4.5 miles south of I-10. The facility is owned by the City of Jacksonville and operated under contract by WM (formerly Waste Management).

Trail Ridge hours of operation:

• Monday–Friday: 6:00 AM – 7:00 PM
• Saturday: 6:00 AM – 1:00 PM
• Sunday: Closed

The tipping rate for regular waste — including household garbage and building materials — is $30.30 per ton. Tires must be declared at the scalehouse; undeclared tires incur an additional surcharge. Appliances containing refrigerants must have those refrigerants evacuated by a certified technician before being accepted.

Florida DEP prohibits hazardous waste, batteries, electronics, asbestos-containing materials, and medical waste from standard roll-off containers. If you're unsure about a specific item, contact your rental provider before loading — improperly disposed materials can result in refused pickup or additional fees.

Jacksonville's combination of aging housing stock, year-round construction weather, and rapid population growth makes it one of Florida's busiest dumpster rental markets. The most common project types include:

• Roofing replacement: Jacksonville's hurricane exposure means frequent roof replacements. A 20-yard container handles most residential roofing tear-offs comfortably.
• Kitchen and bathroom remodels: Older homes in neighborhoods like Murray Hill, Avondale, and San Marco regularly undergo full gut renovations. A 10- or 15-yard dumpster covers most single-room demos.
• Estate and property cleanouts: With a large senior population in the metro, full-property cleanouts are common. A 30-yard container gives you room to clear everything in one pull.
• New construction and framing waste: Jacksonville's growth corridors in the Westside, Northside, and St. Johns County line generate constant construction debris. Contractors typically keep a 40-yard on-site throughout the build.
• Flood and storm damage cleanup: Following hurricane seasons, demand for dumpsters spikes citywide. Book early during named storm recovery periods — containers fill up fast.
• Deck, fence, and landscaping removal: Outdoor demolition projects are common in Jacksonville's sprawling suburban neighborhoods. A 10-yard container is typically sufficient for fence and deck removal on a standard residential lot.

Choosing the right container size saves money and avoids the cost of a second delivery. Here's a practical guide for Jacksonville-area projects:

• 10 Yard (~$275–$350): Single-room remodel, garage cleanout, small fence removal, yard debris. Fits roughly 3 pickup truck loads.
• 15 Yard (~$325–$400): Two-room renovation, small roofing project, medium cleanout. Good middle ground when a 10 feels too tight.
• 20 Yard (~$375–$475): Kitchen or bathroom gut renovation, full attic cleanout, standard roofing job on a single-family home. The most rented size in Duval County.
• 30 Yard (~$475–$575): Whole-home interior cleanout, large landscaping overhaul, multi-room demolition. Fits roughly 9 pickup truck loads.
• 40 Yard (~$550–$700): Commercial projects, major demolition, new construction sites, large multi-family cleanouts. Maximum capacity for most Jacksonville providers.
