How Much Does a Roll-Off Dumpster Rental Cost?
Roll-off dumpster rental prices in Shreveport depend on three things: how long you keep the box, how big it is, and what's in it. A day rate covers a quick cleanout, a week rate suits most construction dumpster rental jobs, and a month rate makes sense for a remodel that drags on. Most homeowners doing a garage purge or yard cleanup land in the day-rate range, while contractors on multi-week jobs usually book by the week because it costs less per day than renting daily over and over. Delivery adds a separate fee, and that fee moves with distance. A driveway job in Shreveport proper costs less to deliver than a site out toward Haughton, 20.5 miles east, or Gloster, 22.4 miles south. Check dumpster sizes and dimensions before you book so the box that shows up actually fits the debris you have. If you're not sure which duration fits your project, our dumpster rental cost breakdown below by size gives a clearer starting point than guessing.
What's the Price for a 10 Yard Dumpster?
A 10 yard dumpster rental is the smallest box we roll out, and it's priced for day, week or month use depending on your job. Day pricing on a 10 yarder in Shreveport falls between 51 and 112 dollars, which covers small demo work, a bathroom gut, or a single-room cleanout. Weekly pricing runs 426 to 778 dollars, useful when the job stretches past a weekend. Monthly rates start at 91 dollars on the low end and top out near 500 for heavier or longer commitments. Homeowners near Lakeview, 6.8 miles northwest of Shreveport, often choose the 10 yard for deck teardowns or attic cleanouts because it's easier to place in a tight driveway than a 20 or 30 yard box. Before you order, glance at what cannot go in a dumpster, since certain materials get flagged and pulled at the landfill, which can add cost you didn't plan for.
What's the Price for a 20 Yard Dumpster?
A 20 yard dumpster rental sits in the same measured price bands as the 10 yard, but you'll typically pay toward the higher end of each band because of the added volume and weight it can carry. It's the size most Shreveport contractors reach for on a kitchen remodel, a roofing tear-off, or a multi-room renovation. If your project runs long, a 30 yard dumpster rental or 40 yard dumpster rental might actually cost less per cubic yard than swapping out a 20 yard twice. Weight matters here too. Roofing shingles and concrete debris add up fast, and going over your contracted weight limit adds a fee on pickup, so read dumpster weight limits before you load it. Delivery for any size needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so measure your driveway or street access ahead of time, especially on older Shreveport lots with mature trees near the curb.
Do I Need a Permit for a Dumpster in Shreveport?
Placement in the public right of way, meaning a street or sidewalk instead of your own driveway, needs confirming with the city before delivery. We can't quote a specific fee or ordinance number here because that detail varies and hasn't been verified for Shreveport specifically. If your box has to sit at the curb rather than on private property, call the city first. For a fuller walkthrough of what to check before delivery day, see dumpster permit requirements. This step gets skipped more than any other, and it's the one most likely to cause a delivery delay or a returned truck. Job sites out near Greenwood, 11.0 miles west, or Blanchard, 13.7 miles northwest, tend to have more driveway room and fewer right-of-way questions than tighter lots inside city limits, but it's still worth a quick call either way.
Why Does Delivery Distance Change the Price?
Delivery fees run separately from the dumpster rate itself, and they scale with drive time and route difficulty, not just straight-line mileage. Our measured delivery fee bands run from 100 dollars on a single day trip up to 500 dollars for harder or farther jobs, with weekly delivery typically cheaper per trip than a one-off day delivery. A job near Eastwood, 16.6 miles northeast of Shreveport, or Red Chute, 15.4 miles northeast, costs more to service than a downtown Shreveport address simply because the truck spends more time on the road. Frierson, 22.6 miles south, sits at the far edge of what we'd call a standard delivery zone. If you're comparing roll-off dumpster rental quotes from different companies, ask whether delivery is bundled into the quoted price or billed separately, because that's where a lot of sticker shock comes from later.
| unit | duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| dumpster | day | 51 | 75 | 112 |
| dumpster | week | 426 | 600 | 778 |
| dumpster | weekend | 390 | 440 | 497 |
| dumpster | month | 91 | 108 | 500 |
| delivery_fee | day | 100 | 150 | 500 |
| delivery_fee | week | 50 | 100 | 150 |
Weight limits, permit questions and site access all factor into a final number, so a request a quote conversation with actual job details beats trying to nail down a price from a table alone. If your project also needs sanitation, portable toilet rental or a temporary fence rental around the work zone often gets bundled into the same delivery run, which can trim the total delivery fee.
How much is a 10 yard dumpster rental for a weekend project?
A weekend rental typically falls into the weekend price band rather than the day rate, and for a 10 yard box in Shreveport that runs higher than a single weekday but less than a full week rental. Confirm the exact weekend window with your quote since pickup timing varies by job.
What size dumpster do I need for a garage cleanout?
Most garage cleanouts fit a 10 yard dumpster rental, especially if you're clearing furniture, boxes and yard debris rather than construction material. If you're also tearing out drywall or flooring, size up to a 20 yard to avoid a second trip.
Does the dumpster price include the landfill fee?
Landfill and disposal costs are typically part of the quoted rate, but weight overages beyond your contracted limit get billed separately. Check dumpster weight limits before loading heavy debris like shingles or concrete so you're not surprised at pickup.
How long can I keep a rented dumpster?
Rental length is flexible: day, week and month options all exist, and pricing scales with duration. A week rental costs less per day than booking single days back to back, so match the term to your actual project timeline.
Is delivery included in the dumpster rental price?
Delivery is usually a separate line item, priced by distance and trip frequency, not bundled into the base rental rate. Ask for a combined total upfront so you're comparing full costs, not just the box rate, against other Shreveport quotes.
