Roll off dumpster rental in Nashville runs from about $51 a day for a small container up to $500 a month on the high end, depending on size and how long you keep it. A 10 yard box typically lands near $75 a day, and weekly rentals average $600. Most homeowners land in the middle of that range.
Roll off dumpster rental prices in Nashville depend on three things: size, rental length, and what's going in the box. Nashville Porta Pros prices dumpsters by the day, week, or month, and the math is not linear. A day rate looks cheap until you need the container for eight days. At that point the weekly rate almost always wins. Cleanout jobs, roof tear-offs, and small remodels tend to fit the day or weekend window. Full renovations and new builds usually need the box for weeks, which is why construction dumpster rental customers book monthly more often than not. If you're not sure which size fits your pile of debris, the dumpster sizes and dimensions guide breaks down yardage against typical loads. And before anything gets hauled off, check what cannot go in a dumpster, because contaminated loads can trigger extra fees that aren't part of the base rental price.
A 10 yard dumpster rental in Nashville costs around $75 a day on average, with day rates ranging from $51 to $112. Weekly rentals for the same size run $426 to $778, averaging about $600. That's the container most homeowners pick for a garage cleanout, a small bathroom demo, or yard debris after storm cleanup. If your job is bigger, step up to the 20 yard dumpster rental or 30 yard dumpster rental options, both scaled for kitchen remodels and roofing tear-offs. Monthly rates for the 10 yard size average $108, which sounds low next to the weekly number, but that reflects long-term commercial accounts rather than a short home project. For most residential jobs in Nashville, day or week pricing fits better. See the full breakdown on the 10 yard dumpster rental page, and compare it against the bigger 40 yard dumpster rental if you're clearing an entire structure.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| Week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| Month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
| Weekend | $390 | $440 | $497 |
Delivery is billed separately in most cases. A day delivery fee averages $150, a weekend delivery fee averages $200, and monthly delivery averages $172. Roll-off trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the unit to place the container safely, so tight driveways or alley access in older Nashville neighborhoods sometimes call for a site visit first. For full delivery logic and permit context, the roll-off dumpster rental page is the cluster hub for this topic, and it links out to placement details you won't find repeated here.
Permit rules for placing a dumpster in the public right of way vary by property and street, and that detail needs confirming directly with the city before delivery. Nashville Porta Pros can flag when a job looks like it needs one, but we don't guess at ordinance numbers. If your dumpster sits entirely on private property, in a driveway or yard, permitting usually isn't a factor at all. Street placement is a different story. Check the dumpster permit requirements page for how to confirm this before your delivery date, and plan a few extra days if your project sits close to a sidewalk or curb lane. Weight limits matter too. Overloaded containers get flagged at the landfill and can trigger reweigh fees, so review dumpster weight limits before you start tossing concrete or shingles into a box sized for household junk.
Distance from Nashville is one factor. Nashville Porta Pros serves the metro core plus towns like Berry Hill, 4.4 miles south, and Brentwood, 15.3 miles south, and delivery pricing can shift with drive time on longer routes. Franklin sits 21.4 miles south, and Gallatin is 27.4 miles northeast, both far enough that delivery fees lean toward the higher end of the measured band rather than the low end. Rental length is the bigger driver, though. A weekend rate averages $440 for a standard dumpster, cheaper per day than a single day rental stretched across four days. If your project runs past your original window, ask about extending rather than returning and rebooking, since a fresh delivery fee applies every time a truck rolls out. For side-by-side cost comparisons across dumpster and portable toilet rentals, the dumpster rental cost guide sits inside our broader porta potty rental cost resources, and both link back to the main porta potty rental in Nashville hub.
Pricing for a 20 yard box follows the same day, week, and month structure as the 10 yard size, just scaled up for volume. Check the 20 yard dumpster rental page for size-specific numbers, since 20 yard rates sit above the 10 yard figures shown in the table above.
Weekly rates almost always beat stacking day rates back to back. A standard dumpster averages $75 a day but $600 a week, so anything past five or six days should move to the weekly rate automatically.
Most single-room renovations fit a 10 or 20 yard container. Full-home renovations or additions usually need 30 yard or larger. The dumpster sizes and dimensions page matches project type to yardage.
No, delivery is billed separately from the rental rate. Day delivery averages $150, and monthly delivery averages $172, on top of whatever duration rate applies to the dumpster itself.
Usually yes, if you call before the pickup date. Extending an existing rental avoids a second delivery fee, which is cheaper than returning the box and booking a new one later.
