Jackson Trommel Screen Rental
Screen it on-site. Skip the haul.
On-site trommel screening in Jackson: separate topsoil, compost, aggregate, and debris without trucking raw material off-site. Two sizes available: compact loader-fed for tight spaces and production-class for high-volume jobs.
What Jackson contractors screen on-site.
Screen raw excavated soil into clean, saleable topsoil. Remove rocks, roots, and debris to meet spec for landscaping and grading.
Process finished compost into uniform particle sizes. Remove contaminants and oversized material before bagging or bulk sale.
Separate gravel, crushed stone, and recycled concrete into specific gradations for base course, drainage, and fill applications.
Clean and size sand for construction, landscaping, and fill. Remove clay, silt, and organic matter to meet project specifications.
Recover reusable aggregate and soil from mixed demolition material. Reduce disposal volume and reclaim valuable fill on-site.
Screen ground wood into consistent chip sizes for landscaping, playground surfacing, and biomass. Remove fines and oversized pieces.
Stop paying to haul unscreened material.
Processing fees at screening facilities in Tennessee average $47.5 per cubic yard. Add trucking costs and wait times, and your margins shrink fast. An on-site trommel screen lets you process material where it sits: no loading, no hauling, no facility fees.
Hauling cost based on $4.50/loaded mile, round-trip. Estimate only: your final quote uses real Jackson-area rates and your project specifics.
per project, vs. hauling to a screening facility
On-site screening vs. hauling: cost comparison for Jackson contractors.
On-site screening in Jackson eliminates the two most expensive line items on a material processing project: hauling raw material out and hauling processed material back. At $4.50/mile loaded and 25 miles to the nearest facility, a 500-yard job wastes $5,625+ on trucking alone.
A rental trommel screen processes material right where you excavated it. The screened topsoil, compost, or aggregate stays on-site for immediate use or sale. No double-handling, no facility wait times, no scheduling around someone else's production queue.
Jackson contractors who screen material regularly end up buying a trommel screen through our main site for better long-term economics.
What trommel screens process. Feed size matters.
Trommel screens handle a wide range of materials, but not everything. Oversized or wet material needs pre-processing before it hits the drum. Matching the right screen panel size to your material is what separates a productive day from a jammed one.
Screens well
These materials flow through a trommel drum cleanly when fed at the right rate. Match your screen panel aperture to the target particle size and let the drum do the work.
Needs pre-processing
Feeding these materials directly causes drum jams, screen blinding, and excess wear. Pre-process with a crusher, grinder, or magnet before screening.
Two machines. Pick by job size.

Why Jackson screens more material than ever.
Contractors in Jackson screen topsoil near Downtown and process compost across Madison County. Clean, sized material matters on every job, but buying a screener rarely makes sense for a single project. On-site screening eliminates the cost of hauling raw material to a processing facility and back.
We connect Jackson contractors with MDS M412 MIDI and TROM 512 trommel screens delivered to your jobsite. The compact MIDI handles residential landscaping and small commercial projects. The TROM 512 runs production-scale soil screening and compost processing across Madison County. Both produce clean, graded material ready for immediate use.
Jackson's 0.5% growth rate in Madison County reflects steady healthcare and manufacturing investment in West Tennessee's regional hub. West Tennessee Healthcare campus expansion and I-40 corridor commercial development drive construction activity. Kellogg's and Stanley Black and Decker manufacturing operations maintain industrial construction demand.
Contractors working across Jackson's Downtown, North Jackson, and Old Hickory Mall Area areas need reliable equipment access. Having a trommel screen delivered to your jobsite saves the round-trip haul to the nearest disposal facility every day you are on the job.
Jackson's nearest material processing facility is Madison County Recycling Center. A trommel screen on your jobsite eliminates the haul to that facility and back. Screened material stays where you need it.
West Tennessee climate. Hot summers with tornado risk. New Madrid seismic zone proximity.
Jackson's active construction market drives demand for soil processing, material screening, and site preparation. Current and recent projects include:
- West Tennessee Healthcare campus expansion and new medical facility construction along US-45 Bypass in Madison County.
- I-40 corridor logistics and distribution center development at the US-45 interchange, requiring mass site preparation.
- Downtown Jackson revitalization projects including demolition of former commercial buildings and new construction on Main Street.
Equipment rental demand in Jackson is driven by contractors supporting West Tennessee Healthcare, Union University, and Kellogg's, along with general construction and demolition companies serving Madison County. The city's West Tennessee sandy loam over clay makes screening equipment valuable for processing excavated material into reusable fill. Healthcare facility construction, road and infrastructure improvements, and commercial development all contribute to steady demand for crushing and screening equipment.
Hauling raw material to Madison County Recycling Center for screening costs $4.50+ per loaded mile round-trip, plus processing fees at the facility. On a 1,000-yard screening job with a 25-mile haul each way, trucking alone runs $3,000-$5,000 before the facility even charges for processing.
A trommel screen on your Jackson jobsite eliminates the haul entirely. The screened material stays where you need it. No truck trips, no facility fees, no project delays waiting for processed material to come back.
Topsoil and compost demand surges as residential and commercial projects kick off.
Tennessee's mild climate keeps aggregate and soil screening running twelve months.
Post-storm debris recovery generates heavy screening demand for soil and material reclamation.
Delivered to your Jackson jobsite.
Equipment delivery to Jackson in Madison County is served by I-40, US-45, and US-70, providing efficient access for heavy equipment transport from staging yards across the region. The typical delivery radius covers Madison County and surrounding counties within a 50 to 75 mile range. Standard delivery timelines apply, though contractors should coordinate scheduling in advance during peak construction season to secure preferred delivery windows.

Yes. Trommel screens are the industry standard for compost processing. Use 3/8-inch to 1/2-inch panels for finished compost product. The tumbling action breaks up clumps without destroying the compost structure. Oversize material goes back to the windrow for further composting.
Trommel screens process topsoil, compost, gravel, sand, mulch, construction debris, and contaminated soil. The rotating drum handles both dry and wet materials. Screen panel size determines the separation point. Swap panels on-site when you change material types.
Plan for a flat pad roughly 40x60 feet for the machine, feed pile, and output stockpiles. You need room for a loader or excavator to feed the hopper. Larger jobs benefit from a bigger staging area to keep feed and output material separated.
Yes. Trommel screens separate mixed gravel into sized products. Use 3/4-inch panels to produce road base, 1/2-inch for drainage material, or 1/4-inch for fine aggregate. The three-way split (undersize, midsize, oversize) lets you produce multiple products in a single pass.
Match the panel size to your finished product: 1/4-inch for fine topsoil, 3/8-inch for premium compost, 1/2-inch for standard topsoil, 3/4-inch for road base, 1-inch+ for rough separation. When in doubt, start with a slightly larger screen and test. You can always re-screen with a finer panel.
Rental trommel screens come with interchangeable screen panels from 1/4-inch to 4-inch mesh. Fine screens for topsoil, medium for compost, coarse for aggregate separation. The drum panels swap out on-site when you need to change screen sizes mid-project.
