Where a Byram delivery comes from

Byram is priced off two supplier depots: New Orleans, LA (about 180 road miles, I-10 / I-59 east into Hancock and Pearl River counties) and Memphis, TN (about 226 miles). The order goes against whichever has your grade in stock; the delivered price is the same either way. Published lead time is 3–7 business days from the day we confirm the order with you.

Placement and permits in Byram

Byram's Official Zoning Ordinance (adopted May 23, 2019) defines a 'Portable Storage Unit' as a portable above-ground container for short-term storage that 'shall not exceed 130 square feet' — storage pods — and requires a building permit before an accessory building is placed on any lot. A 20ft container is 160 sq ft, so it is an accessory building, not a PSU. We could not read the full ordinance text online, so the setbacks are the city's to state: Planning and Zoning / Building Inspection in Public Works (550 Executive Blvd, 601-372-7791, Mon–Fri 7–4; inspector Eric Munden, ext. 404) issues the permit and answers for the district.

Will the truck make it in? Byram lots

Tilt-bed truck sliding a 20ft container onto a gravel pad — the truck backs in, tilts, and the box slides off the back

Byram is a city of newer cul-de-sac subdivisions and ball fields with river-bottom land on the east side: the subdivisions give a tilt-bed little room to turn and the lots are modest, so a 20ft to the rear yard is the realistic residential order; the acreage tracts between Hinds Parkway and Siwell Road are easy 40ft drops. The east side toward the Pearl is in the 2020 and 2022 flood footprint — residents were sandbagging in August 2022 and houses flooded in 2020 — so check the parcel's flood status before you place anything there.

The non-negotiables are the same everywhere: a straight run of about 60 ft for a 20ft and 100 ft for a 40ft, 14 ft of clear overhead the whole way, and level, firm ground where the box lands. A truck that cannot complete the drop is a billable trip.

Byram questions

Does Byram allow a shipping container on my lot?
As an accessory building with a building permit — the city's 130 sq ft 'portable storage unit' definition does not cover a 20ft or 40ft container. Planning and Zoning (601-372-7791) tells you the setbacks for your district and issues the permit.
What does a container delivered to Byram cost?
The prices above are delivered to ZIP 39272 and include the truck. Byram is the metro's closest point to New Orleans (about 180 road miles down I-55), so its 20ft prices are the lowest in the metro; its 40ft boxes come from Memphis, about 226 miles.
