How to read the New Orleans list
Five of the 14 are based in New Orleans itself and the other 9 run out to it from nearby towns. Metairie Junk Removal is both the best-rated and the most-reviewed of them, at 5.0 across 156 Google reviews. One of the 14 publishes a rate on their own site; the rest quote by phone. That split is typical, and it is why the medians here are worth having.
How much does a dumpster cost in New Orleans, LA?
Updated regularly. Only 1 of the 14 companies serving New Orleans publishes a rate, too few to quote a local median, so the figures below are statewide.
Across Louisiana, a 20-yard dumpster runs a median of $495, with most quotes between $395 and $525 (27 companies). New Orleans should land near that unless it's far from a landfill, which pushes prices up. The reliable way to find out is to call two or three companies on the list above and ask each for the base price, the included tonnage, and the per-ton overage.
