What does a dumpster rental cost in the Hattiesburg area?
As of August 2026, local independent haulers around Hattiesburg quote roughly $400 to $600 for a 10 to 30 yard roll-off with about a week's rental and around 2 tons of disposal included, while national booking sites serving the same area quote roughly $595 to $895 for the same job. Those are market ranges, not a price from us — we are not a hauler and do not quote.
What 'all-in' usually means — and what it hides
Most quotes here bundle delivery, pickup, a rental period and a disposal weight allowance into one number. The charges that commonly sit outside it: weight over the included tonnage at $50 to $100 per ton, extra rental days at $10 to $25 per day, a wasted trip for a blocked or inaccessible spot at $150 to $200, moving the can after it has been set at around $150, and prohibited items passed through at the landfill's surcharge plus a handling fee.
Overage is normally billed from the landfill scale ticket, so it is not a number anyone is guessing at — ask for the ticket. Mississippi tipping fees are among the lowest in the country, roughly $25 to $45 per ton at the gate, which is part of why local quotes here sit below the national broker cards.
What makes a job cost more
Heavy material is the main one. Concrete, dirt, brick and shingles weigh far more than household junk, so a half-full can of shingles can outweigh a full can of furniture and blow through the tonnage allowance.
Then distance from the provider's yard, keeping the can longer than the included period, and prohibited items that have to be pulled out and disposed of separately.
How to compare two quotes properly
Line up three things before you look at the headline number: the size in yards, the tonnage included, and the number of rental days. Two quotes $100 apart are often the same deal with a different weight allowance.
Then ask each provider what a ton over costs, what an extra day costs, and what happens if the truck arrives and cannot set the can. That is where a cheap-looking quote stops being cheap.
