Roll-off dumpster rental in Star, MS delivered by Healy and Son Dumpster Rental Jackson

If you are in Star, you are inside our core service radius — roughly 24 minutes from our yard on Greenway Drive. Star is a small, close-knit community in southern Rankin County that got its start in 1900 as a stop on the old Gulf and Ship Island Railroad, and only became an officially incorporated town in early 2026 after residents pushed for self-determination for decades. It is still very much rural Mississippi out here - modest ranch houses and older farmhouses on generous lots, newer manufactured and modular homes, and working land mixed in between, rather than subdivisions. Star is where singer Faith Hill grew up, and the town's identity is tied to its churches, its ballfields and its neighbors more than to commercial development. Dumpster jobs out here tend to be roof and storm cleanup, barn or outbuilding teardown, mobile home removal, estate and inherited-property cleanouts, and yard debris from clearing overgrown acreage - work suited to a rural homestead more than a subdivision.

Star sits rural southern Rankin County, about 15 miles southeast of the yard via I-20 East and US-49 South through Florence, in Rankin County. Star falls well within the area we serve daily from our Jackson base. No distance surcharge, and no waiting on a truck routed up from the Cities. From a single-room clear-out to a full demolition or a commercial job, the routine is identical — one call, a quoted flat rate, boards down before the box.

Dumpster delivery in Star, done properly

Most properties in Star sit on larger rural lots with long gravel or dirt driveways rather than a curb, so we plan drop spots around what a roll-off truck can actually turn around on - not every yard has a paved pad. Septic systems and well setups are common, which matters for where a bin can safely sit. A lot of calls out here involve an old farmhouse, a mobile home or a barn and outbuildings rather than a standard subdivision remodel, so loads often run heavier and mix wood, metal and old appliances together, which we plan the container size around.

  • Local dispatch. You speak to someone in Jackson who can picture Star's streets, not a call center reading a script.
  • Flat-rate quotes. Delivery, the rental window, the tonnage allowance and pickup in a single number.
  • Your driveway comes first. The driver walks the Star placement with you where possible, and the boards go down before the box does.
  • Honest sizing. If a 15 yard will do the job, we will not sell you a 30.
  • Licensed and insured in Mississippi. Certificates on request for GCs, property managers and HOA boards.

How we get there

Our drivers reach Star by one of these routes:

  • I-20 East to US-49 South through Richland and Florence, then local roads east into Star
  • I-55 South to Highway 18 East, picking up US-49 South down through Florence to Star
  • US-49 South corridor for crews already running loads to Florence or Braxton the same day

Picking the right box for a Star job

The honest answer for most Star properties is a 20 yard, with a 15 covering smaller single-room work and a 30 reserved for genuine whole-house or new-build volume. Heavy debris always goes in a 10 yard. Here is the full range:

SizeDimensionsHolds roughlyTypical use
10 Yard12 ft × 8 ft × 3.5 ftAbout 3 pickup-truck loadsSmall bathroom gut, single-room cleanout, concrete and dirt, garage purge
15 Yard16 ft × 8 ft × 4 ftAbout 4–5 pickup-truck loadsKitchen remodel, basement cleanout, small roof tear-off, deck removal
20 Yard22 ft × 8 ft × 4.5 ftAbout 6 pickup-truck loadsWhole-house cleanout, larger remodel, 20–30 square roof, flooring

40 Yard22 ft × 8 ft × 8 ftAbout 12 pickup-truck loadsCommercial fit-out, large-volume light debris, teardown, roofing at scale

Permits, placement and local rules in Star

Placement on your own driveway is the simple path and rarely involves the municipality at all. If the container has to sit on a public street, parkway or sidewalk in Star, expect to need a right-of-way or street-obstruction permit from the local authority, and allow lead time for it. Rankin County and the individual municipalities each publish their own requirements, so check with Star directly rather than assuming. State law sits on top of that: Mississippi bans yard waste, electronics, appliances and tires from ordinary landfill loads, and MDEQ is the authority to check if you are unsure about a specific item. We have written both up at length — see the permit guide and the what-goes-in guide.

FAQs

Dumpster rental in Star — your questions

Star just became its own incorporated town - do I need a permit to have a dumpster placed in my driveway?

If the dumpster sits on your own driveway or property, which is how we place the vast majority of rural jobs in Star, no permit is needed. A permit only comes into play if a container has to sit in the road or on public right-of-way, which is uncommon out here given how much driveway and yard space most properties have. Since Star's town hall and permitting processes are still coming together after incorporation, we can help you figure out whether your specific placement would need anything from the town, but for a standard residential or rural driveway drop, you can plan on a straightforward delivery with no paperwork on your end.

How quickly can you deliver a dumpster in Star?

Our yard is on Greenway Drive in Jackson, roughly 24 minutes from Star, so most orders placed before noon on a weekday go out the same day. Anything booked a day ahead we can usually schedule to a morning or afternoon window that suits you. Call (769) 246-8432 and we will tell you honestly what is achievable today rather than promising a slot we cannot hold. See our same-day dumpster service for how it works.

Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Star?

If the container sits entirely on your own driveway or private property, you generally will not need a municipal permit — that covers the large majority of our Star deliveries. Every jurisdiction in Rankin County sets its own rules, though, so confirm with Star directly if you are unsure. If the box has to sit on a public street or right-of-way, check with the local public works department first and allow lead time rather than expecting same-day approval. Our Jackson-area permit guide walks through the process.

What can I put in a dumpster in Star?

General household junk, furniture, construction and demolition debris, roofing, flooring, drywall and clean wood are all fine. What is barred is a legal question rather than a company policy: Mississippi keeps yard waste, tires, lead-acid batteries, electronics, used oil and household chemicals out of ordinary landfill loads, and MDEQ publishes the current guidance. Asbestos never goes in a container. Our Mississippi prohibited-items guide covers the full list.

Will the dumpster damage my driveway in Star?

Not if it is placed properly. Boards go under the rails and rollers on every delivery, which spreads the load rather than concentrating it on four points. Rankin County's clay-heavy soil means driveways and slabs can already be under stress from seasonal ground movement, so extra care matters here more than on newer, well-compacted pads. We walk the placement with you before the box comes off the truck. See how we handle placement and surface protection.

Do you deliver to Star after a storm?

Yes — storm and flood cleanup is a steady part of our work across the Jackson metro, and Star is no exception. What we need is a reasonably clear, level spot for the container and safe truck access; downed limbs or debris blocking the driveway can slow a delivery, so let us know if the approach needs clearing first. Full detail in our storm cleanup dumpster guide.
