Renting a dumpster in the Pine Belt? Know what you’re buying first.
Straight answers about roll-off dumpsters around Hattiesburg, Petal, Laurel and the rest of the Pine Belt — what drives the cost, which size fits the job, what the fine print does to the bill. Then tell us what you need and we’ll put it in front of local providers who can do it.
What a roll-off dumpster costs in the Pine Belt
We don’t quote prices — we’re not the hauler, and a number from us wouldn’t be worth anything to you. What we can do is tell you what the market charges and what moves it, so you can read the quotes you get and spot the one that’s actually cheap.
Ranges observed in the Pine Belt as of August 2026, gathered from published rate cards and quotes from providers serving this area. They are market information, not an offer, not a quote, and not a price from Pine Belt Dumpsters. Prices move; get a current quote before you plan around a number.
What actually drives the number
Size of the can
10, 15, 20 and 30 yard are the common sizes here. Each step up adds roughly $40-$80 to a local quote — far less than the cost of needing a second delivery, because the delivery itself is the expensive part.
Tonnage included
Quotes bundle a disposal weight allowance, usually 2 to 2.5 tons in this area. Two quotes that look $100 apart can be the same deal if one includes an extra ton. Always compare the allowance, not just the headline number.
Rental days included
Seven days is the standard local bundle; some providers quote 10 or 14, and some national bundles run 28 days at a much higher headline price. Extra days are typically billed at $10-$25 per day.
Distance from the yard
The truck's round trip is real money. Hattiesburg, Petal and Oak Grove sit in most providers' core area; Richton, New Augusta, Wiggins and Mount Olive are far enough out that some add a fee and others simply decline.
What you're throwing away
Household junk and furniture are bulky and light, so volume is your limit. Concrete, brick, dirt, tile and shingles are dense and hit the weight allowance while the can still looks half empty — overage is commonly $50-$100 per ton, billed from the landfill scale ticket. Mississippi tipping fees are among the lowest in the country, roughly $25-$45 per ton at the gate.
Who you're buying from
A local operator with its own truck quotes lower than a national booking site reselling that same truck. Both can be a fine deal; the broker is buying you the convenience of ordering online at midnight.
The charges that show up after the quote
These are the extras providers in this market commonly bill. Ask about every one of them before you book with anybody — the gap between two quotes is usually hiding in here rather than in the headline price.
- Weight over the included tonnage: commonly $50 – $100 per ton, billed from the landfill scale ticket.
- Extra rental days: commonly $10 – $25 per day.
- A wasted trip (blocked driveway, locked gate, car parked over the spot): commonly $150 – $200.
- Moving the can after it has been set: commonly around $150.
- Prohibited items found in the load (tires, batteries, paint, chemicals, freon appliances): the landfill's surcharge, usually passed through at cost plus a handling fee.
The four sizes, and what each one really takes
Sizes are standard across providers here, so this is the vocabulary you’ll be quoted in. Getting the size right is worth more than shaving $50 off a quote — a second delivery costs far more than one size up.
