A 30 yard dumpster measures roughly 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and 6 feet tall, and holds about 30 cubic yards of debris, enough for a full roof tear-off or a whole-house cleanout. Portland Porta Pros prices a 30 yard weekly rental between 426 and 778 dollars depending on load and location, and the same crews can quote a roll-off dumpster rental alongside a portable toilet rental for the same job site.
Picture a two-car garage laid on its side. That is close to the real 30 yard dumpster measurements: about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, 6 feet tall. It sits at the large end of our lineup, above the 20 yard dumpster rental and just under the 40 yard dumpster rental. If you are not sure this is the right box, the dumpster sizes and dimensions page lines up all four side by side. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind them to set the container down safely, so a driveway that curves or dead-ends short can complicate a drop in parts of Portland, especially older neighborhoods with tight lots. Crews handling additions or teardown work often pair this size with construction dumpster rental service and a 10 yard dumpster rental for the smaller finish-out phase, plus construction site services like fencing and a handwashing station rental to round out the site.
Renting a 30 yard roll-off dumpster in Portland runs by the day or by the week, and the difference adds up fast if you guess wrong on timeline.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | 51 | 75 | 112 |
| week | 426 | 600 | 778 |
| month | 91 | 108 | 500 |
Daily and weekly rates above are measured across dumpster rentals generally; a 30 yard unit sits toward the higher end of each band because of its size. Delivery is billed separately, and that fee runs from 100 to 500 dollars depending on distance and access. For a fuller breakdown by size, see dumpster rental cost or the daily-focused porta potty rental per day view, and homeowners doing a remodel may also want the home renovation porta potty page. Before you commit, check what actually cannot go in the box: the what cannot go in a dumpster page covers banned materials, and dumpster weight limits explains why overloading a 30 yard can cost more than the rental itself.
Maybe, depending on where the container sits. Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or sidewalk rather than a private driveway, needs confirming directly with the City of Portland before delivery day. We have not verified a specific fee or ordinance number for this, so do not take a guess from us or anyone else online as final. The dumpster permit requirements page walks through what to ask the city and when to ask it, and it pairs well with the porta potty permit requirements page if you are renting both. If your property line does not leave room for a driveway placement, our dispatch team can talk through options when you request a quote, or check the porta potty placement guide for similar siting logic. Renters working sites near Milwaukie, about 8.3 miles south of Portland, or out toward Lake Oswego, 12.5 miles south, should confirm local rules there too, since permit requirements are set city by city and do not carry over.
Most rentals run about a week, matching the weekly rate above, but many jobs need longer, and the monthly porta potty rental page shows how that same day-to-month logic plays out for restrooms. Extending past a week usually costs less per day than a fresh short rental. Tell us your project timeline up front and we will quote the right duration instead of defaulting to a week you do not need.
Whole-house cleanouts, large remodels, roofing tear-offs and big landscaping jobs are the usual fit. It is oversized for a single-room renovation. If your project is smaller, a 20 yard dumpster rental or 10 yard dumpster rental probably costs less and still clears the job.
Only with the right sign-off. Street placement in Portland means confirming with the city first, since we have not verified a blanket rule allowing it. Driveway or private-lot placement avoids the question entirely and is usually the faster option for delivery.
About 60 feet of straight space behind the truck, so it can back in and set the container down level. Overhead wires, low branches and tight turns near the drop site can all slow things down, so mention any obstacles when you book.
Depends on scope. If you are gutting a house or clearing a large yard, yes, and if the crew is on site for weeks, a storage container rental or mobile office trailer rental often gets added at the same time. For smaller jobs, check how many porta potties do I need style sizing logic applies here too: our roll-off dumpster rental team can size it over the phone before you pay for space you will not fill.
