Local pricing anchor: TrashHelp North Florida (15 yd with 2 tons, 20 yd with 3, 30 yd with 4, overage $95/ton, extra days $20/day). Broker ranges (ZTERS, 10-day) set the high ends. Angi puts Jacksonville's overall average dumpster cost at $300–$700 across all sizes. Your exact quote depends on debris type, how long you keep the bin, and how far the truck drives.
Weight overages. Go over the included tonnage and most haulers charge roughly $50–$100 per extra ton. Heavy debris (concrete, dirt, shingles) hits the limit fast — that's what the smaller 10-yard "heavy debris" bins exist for.
Extra days. The standard rental is 7 days. Extra days typically run $10–$25 per day, or a flat fee per week. Ask before you book, not after.
Debris type. Clean construction debris is cheapest. Mixed household junk is mid-range. Tires, mattresses, appliances with refrigerant, paint and anything hazardous cost extra or are refused outright.
Driveway or private property: no permit. On a street, sidewalk, alley — or in the grassy swale between sidewalk and street, which counts as right-of-way in Jacksonville — you need a Right-of-Way Use Permit from Public Works (apply at coj.net or the Ed Ball Building, 214 N Hogan St). Fees start around $50–$100 depending on duration. Heads-up: Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach run their own permits — a city permit does not cover the Beaches.
Book the size you're sure about, not the size you hope for — one 20-yard bin is cheaper than two 10-yard swaps. Keep the rental inside 7 days. Load heavy material evenly and don't fill past the rim; an overloaded bin gets refused and you pay a trip fee anyway. If your project is flexible, ask about weekday delivery pricing — some haulers discount off-peak drops.
