Guides & advice
Six guides written by the people who run the containers, for Jackson-area homeowners and contractors. Sizing math, Jackson permits, real costs, what can and cannot go in, and where the debris ends up.
All guides
No filler. Every rule quoted comes from the city, town, county or state that wrote it, with the department to confirm.
Sizing
Quick answer: a 20 yard fits most Jackson remodels and cleanouts. How to pick between 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 yards by volume, weight and driveway space — and why the city truck will not take the job.
Read the guidePermits
No Jackson permit written for a driveway roll-off; written authorization for the street. Across the 21 places we serve the rules run from hauler permits and bonds to a flow-control law in Canton. Every city, from its own code.
Read the guideCost
Jackson-area dumpster rentals typically run $350–$750. What is inside that number — the disposal gate, the weight allowance, the days, the drive — the public rates that are published, and the fees that are not.

Everything in one place: how a roll-off rental works in Jackson, sizes and weights, what the City collects and what it will not, placement and permits, the demolition paperwork, the towns around the city, and what goes in the box.
Read the guideGuidelines
The yes list, the Mississippi and MDEQ rules behind the no list, what the local disposal sites refuse, and where every banned item actually goes — tires, batteries, oil, paint, fridges and asbestos.
Read the guideDisposal
The City of Jackson rubbish site in Byram, Little Dixie in Ridgeland, Canton's flow-control landfill, the Pearl compactor, Richland's residents-only dump — and why Brandon has none. What each takes, what it charges, and what is not published.
