Construction dumpster rental in Portland runs from a compact 10 yard box for a garage cleanout to a 40 yard unit for a full teardown, with day rentals starting around $51 and week-long jobs typically landing between $426 and $778. Portland Porta Pros delivers to active job sites across the city, not just drop-and-go.
Price depends on size, how long you keep it, and what's going in it. A small construction dumpster rental for a bathroom remodel costs less than a 30 yard box sitting on a commercial teardown for three weeks. Portland Porta Pros prices by the day, week, or month, so a weekend patio demo doesn't get billed like a month-long framing job. Check the dumpster rental cost breakdown before you call, and compare it against 10 yard dumpster rental pricing if your job is small. Delivery is a separate line item, and it moves depending on distance and scheduling. Jobs in Milwaukie, 8.3 miles south of Portland, or out toward Lake Oswego, 12.5 miles south, still fall inside our delivery zone. If your project needs both a dumpster and a toilet on site, bundling with portable restroom rental often saves a trip charge.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| dumpster | $51-$112 | $426-$778 | $780-$1200 |
Weekend rates for a quick demo run $390 to $497. If you're not sure which size fits, the dumpster sizes and dimensions page walks through footprint and yardage before you commit to a container that's too big for the driveway.
Most remodel and small-build jobs in Portland run fine on a 10 yard construction dumpster; bigger teardowns need 20 or 30 yard boxes. A 10 yard construction dumpster rental fits a bathroom gut, a deck removal, or a garage cleanout. Step up to a 20 yard dumpster rental for a kitchen remodel with cabinetry and drywall, or a 30 yard dumpster rental for a full room addition. Full commercial demolition or a multi-unit build usually calls for a 40 yard dumpster rental. Whatever size you land on, the truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to set the container down without dragging it across landscaping or a curb. That matters on narrow lots in older Portland neighborhoods where the alley or driveway is tight. Before ordering, check what cannot go in a dumpster and review dumpster weight limits, because concrete, dirt, and shingles fill weight capacity fast even when the box still looks half empty. Overloading past the fill line or the rated weight usually means a return trip and an extra charge.
Placement in the street or public right of way needs confirming with the City of Portland before delivery. If the dumpster sits entirely on private property, on your own driveway or job lot, permitting is generally simpler than if it has to sit at the curb or partly in the street. Because permit rules and fees vary by placement and haven't been verified against a specific ordinance here, don't assume; call the city and confirm before the truck shows up. Portland Porta Pros can talk through where the container will sit and flag if it looks like a right-of-way situation. Full detail on what to ask and who to ask is on the dumpster permit requirements page. This step matters more than people think: a container blocking a sidewalk or parking lane without the right paperwork can get tagged, and that delays the whole job. If your project already needs temporary fence rental around the site, get both approvals sorted in the same call, since site plans usually cover both.
Rentals run by the day, the week, or the month, and Portland Porta Pros scales the rate to match. A one-day rental works for a single cleanout crew finishing in an afternoon. A week fits most remodel timelines, and construction dumpster rental companies across Portland generally price week-long swaps the same way, mid-project, once the box fills. Month-to-month makes sense for a longer build, where the container stays parked through framing, drywall, and finish work, and you're paying the monthly rate instead of restarting a weekly one. Longer jobs also tend to pair a dumpster with other site gear, like a temporary power pole or a light tower rental for crews working early or late. If the site also needs storage container rental for tools or a mobile office trailer rental for the super, Portland Porta Pros can schedule all of it around the same delivery window instead of separate trips. For active builds needing full sanitation too, see construction site services for how it all fits together, including OSHA-driven toilet counts under OSHA 1926.51(c).
A 10 yard box runs inside the same day-rate band as other dumpster sizes, generally $51 to $112 per day depending on rental length and haul distance. Week-long rentals cost more than a single day but less per day overall. Confirm delivery fees separately.
Construction dumpsters are built for heavier debris: concrete, lumber, drywall, shingles. Regular household dumpsters handle lighter household waste. Weight limits differ, so check dumpster weight limits before loading tile or masonry into either one.
Only with the right approval. Street and right-of-way placement needs confirming with the City of Portland first. Driveway or private-lot placement is usually simpler. Ask before delivery, not after the box is dropped.
Book as soon as you have a start date, especially for larger sizes like 30 or 40 yard boxes. Same-day delivery sometimes works for smaller jobs. Rush requests near weekends or holidays run tighter.
Yes, hauling and disposal are part of the base rental. Extra weight beyond the included limit, or prohibited materials found in the load, can add charges. Ask Portland Porta Pros for the fill line and weight cap on your specific box.
