A 10 yard dumpster in Portland runs $51 to $112 a day or $426 to $778 for the week, and a 20 yard dumpster rental lands in a similar weekly range depending on the hauler and how long you keep it. Monthly rentals start around $91. Delivery is usually billed separate.
Roll off dumpster rental prices in Portland depend on three things: the size you order, how long you keep it, and where it sits once it lands. Portland Porta Pros prices by the day, the week and the month, and the gap between those tiers is real, not a rounding trick; compare it against a porta potty rental cost if you're staging both a box and toilets on the same site. A single day rental for a smaller box sits at the low end of the table below, while a full week climbs because the hauler is committing the unit to your site instead of the next customer. If you're clearing out a garage or doing a quick yard cleanup, check dumpster rental cost against a construction dumpster rental quote before you decide on size, because a 10 yard box that fills in two days costs more per ton than a properly sized 20. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to place the container without dragging it across landscaping, so measure your driveway or lot before you book, and if the same job needs a perimeter, price out temporary fence rental at the same time.
A 10 yard dumpster rental cost in Portland typically falls between $51 and $112 for a single day, with the week running $426 to $778 depinding on demand and hauler. That is the box most homeowners grab for a bathroom tear-out or a basement declutter, and it is smaller than most people expect, so check a home renovation porta potty pairing while you're at it, and check dumpster sizes and dimensions before you commit. If you are working near Milwaukie, 8.3 miles south of Portland, or out toward Happy Valley, 14.1 miles southeast, delivery time and fuel add a little to the base price, and that shows up as a separate delivery line rather than a size upcharge. Weight matters too. Construction debris like concrete and shingles hits the weight limit fast even in a small box, so read dumpster weight limits before you load it. If you are not sure a 10 is enough, the 10 yard dumpster rental page walks through what actually fits, and the porta potty rental per day page is worth a look if you're renting both by the day.
Yes, a 20 yard box costs more than a 10 because it holds roughly double the material, but the daily and weekly bands overlap more than people expect once you factor in what you're throwing away. A single-family reroof or a full room renovation is the usual case for stepping up, and the 20 yard dumpster rental page has the specifics on footprint and door swing. Bigger jobs in Portland, especially anything touching a full remodel or a small commercial strip-out, often move straight to a 30 yard dumpster rental or a 40 yard dumpster rental instead, because the labor savings from fewer hauls outweighs the size jump in cost, the same logic that pushes crews toward a monthly porta potty rental instead of daily swaps. Whichever size you land on, know what cannot go in before delivery day; the what cannot go in a dumpster page covers the items that get a load rejected at the transfer station.
Maybe, and it depends on where the container sits. If the box goes on your own driveway or private lot, you likely don't need anything from the city. If it has to sit in the street or a public right of way, that placement needs confirming with the City of Portland before delivery, since we're not going to guess at a rule that could be wrong by the time you read this. The dumpster permit requirements page lays out what to check and who to call. This matters more than people think in denser parts of Portland where curb space is tight, and it's worth sorting out before the truck shows up rather than after a ticket. For active job sites already dealing with temporary power pole hookups, restrooms and staging, folding the dumpster question into your broader construction site services plan saves a second round of phone calls.
Delivery is typically its own line item, separate from the rental price, and it covers the truck run, placement and eventual pickup. Delivery fees in Portland generally run $100 to $500 for a single day drop, with monthly arrangements landing higher because the hauler is scheduling around a longer commitment. Distance plays a role: a site in Vancouver, WA, 13.3 miles north of Portland, or Hillsboro, 17.8 miles west, costs more to reach than one inside the city core. Access matters as much as distance. OSHA 1926.25 requires job sites to keep debris and scrap cleared from work areas, and a dumpster placed too far from the work zone defeats that purpose, so plan placement the same way you'd plan a porta potty placement guide before delivery day. If your project also needs waste chutes, OSHA 1926.252 covers disposal setups involving chutes and enclosures, which is common on multi-story renovation work, right alongside needs like a light tower rental for evening shifts.

A single day rental typically runs $51 to $112 depending on size, with delivery billed separately at $100 to $500. Same-day cleanup jobs, estate clearouts, and quick renovation debris hauls are the usual reason for a one-day booking instead of a full week.
Usually, yes. A week-long rental runs $426 to $778 total, which is often less than stacking seven daily rates. Most contractors and homeowners doing multi-day projects book weekly from the start rather than renewing daily.
Generally no, if it stays entirely on private property. Placement in a street or public right of way needs confirming with the City of Portland first. Check the dumpster permit requirements page before scheduling delivery to avoid a delay, the same way you'd check porta potty permit requirements for a toilet placed curbside.
It depends on scope: a bathroom or single-room job often fits a 10 yard box, while a whole-house renovation usually needs a 20 or 30. The dumpster sizes and dimensions page breaks down what each size actually holds.
Yes, monthly rentals are available and start around $91, though the final price depends on size and how much debris you're generating. Longer commercial and remodel projects in Portland commonly use monthly terms instead of repeated weekly renewals.
