Dumpster Rental in
Jonesboro, AR
Whether the job is off East Highland Drive or anywhere else in Jonesboro, ZTERS delivers roll-off dumpsters in 10 to 40 yard sizes — the 10 yard at $660-$770 for a 10-day rental.
Mon–Fri 7am–7pm CT
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
The price for every size is printed on this page, the order happens in one phone call, and the container arrives on the date you set. That is the arrangement, whether it is a weekend cleanout or a job site on its third container.
Student housing turnover near Honors College and First National Bank Arena drives a good share of Jonesboro's rentals. Medical and rehab-facility work near HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Jonesboro adds even more. It's spread across clinics, offices, and the ordinary home renovation that happens everywhere in between. A rental-property cleanout tends to run bulky and light: furniture, carpet, mattresses. That's where a bigger container pays off. A bathroom or kitchen remodel goes the other way: smaller but heavier per yard.
The wider stretches of Red Wolf Boulevard make it easy for a truck to pull in and line up straight. In older residential blocks and around Greensborough Village, driveways are narrower, and the tree canopy has had years to grow in. Overhead clearance matters most. Check it before delivery day. The truck's bed tilts high to set the container down. A limb that clears a car easily can still stop a drop that looked fine from the street. Jobs out toward Bono follow the same pattern, and a quick look up before the truck arrives beats finding out at the curb.
Dumpster Sizes in Jonesboro
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Jonesboro, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
A 10 yard holds about three pickup-truck loads. That covers a closet-by-closet cleanout, a deck teardown, or the tile and mortar from one bathroom. $660 to $770.
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.
The 20 yard is the renovation workhorse, $720 to $830. Cabinets, subfloor and trim from a kitchen and a bath together fit with room to spare.
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.
The 40 yard, $895 to $1015, is demolition scale: whole-structure teardowns, commercial cleanouts, major additions. It needs a long, straight, level approach — confirm the space before booking.
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, $745 to $861, 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 Jonesboro, AR
For homeowners
A household cleanout fills a container with awkward shapes rather than heavy ones: a sleeper sofa, bagged clothing, the contents of a garage that has been closing on itself for a decade. Bathroom and kitchen remodels add cabinets and torn-out flooring. A 10 or a 20 yard usually sits on a Jonesboro driveway without blocking the garage door.
For contractors
Jobsite debris runs heavier. Shingles, plaster, tile and the mortar bed under it reach the weight allowance while the container still looks half full. Crews on longer builds often run a smaller size and swap it more than once rather than push one load past its allowance, and they stage it where the truck can make a straight approach.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Jonesboro
- 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 Jonesboro, AR?
Dumpster rental pricing in Jonesboro 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 Jonesboro
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $660 – $770 | — | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $720 – $830 | $400 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $745 – $861 | $540 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $895 – $1015 | — | 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 Jonesboro 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) 880-1694 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 Jonesboro
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
Jonesboro dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Jonesboro dumpster costs range from $660 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1015 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.
Job sites near First National Bank Arena, quieter residential streets around Greensborough Village, and everywhere across Craighead County in between: ZTERS covers Jonesboro end to end.
Coverage reaches out to Brookland and Bono as well, so a property just past the city line is handled the same way as one downtown.
Any part of the street or curb strip counts as public right-of-way in Jonesboro, and that's the rule that decides everything else: placing a dumpster there needs the same permit as any other public placement, unlike parking a container on your own driveway. So yes, it's possible, but not automatic.
On the narrower streets around neighborhoods like Greensborough Village, leaving room for traffic and trash pickup matters just as much as the permit.
The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short: paint and liquids, motor oil, fuel, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, medical waste, and appliances that still hold refrigerant.
Everything else from a normal renovation or cleanout is fine. Concrete, brick and dirt are accepted but priced by weight, so mention them when you book rather than at pickup. If you are unsure about an item, ask before it goes over the rail — it is a shorter conversation than an unloading fee.
A dumpster that stays on your own driveway or property in Jonesboro doesn't need a permit. The city's permit requirement is specific to street or public right-of-way placement.
Most residential and job-site rentals in Jonesboro have enough room to avoid that situation.
Work from what is coming out, not from the size of the house. A single bathroom or one room of flooring fills a 10. A kitchen with cabinets and counters wants the 20. Gut work across several rooms, or a barn with decades of storage in it, is 30 yard territory.
Roofing is its own case. Shingles are heavy for the space they take, so the tonnage allowance runs out long before the walls do. If concrete, brick or dirt is going in, say so when you call, because that changes the answer completely.
When two sizes both look plausible, the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
There is no fixed answer, because the trucks work routes. A delivery lands in Jonesboro when a truck is already headed that way with room on its schedule, so the honest window shifts week to week.
The reliable move is to call with your start date and ask what the current window looks like. Book a day or two ahead of when you want to start loading and the timing takes care of itself.
