About PDX Dumpster
PDX Dumpster is a locally owned, woman-owned dumpster rental company focused on dependable service, careful placement, straightforward communication, and practical equipment for residential and contractor projects.
Dumpster Service Built Around Real Jobsite Experience
PDX Dumpster grew out of hands-on experience working around demolition, cleanup, remodeling, construction debris, and residential properties. We saw how important dumpster placement becomes when you're working around finished concrete, narrow driveways, landscaping, gates, slopes, and occupied homes.
That experience shaped the type of equipment we use. Instead of relying on large traditional roll-off containers for every project, our trailer-style dumpsters ride on rubber tires and can be positioned carefully in places where property protection and access matter.
Today, our focus is simple: provide dependable service, place the container carefully, communicate clearly, and make it easy for customers to get the right dumpster for the project.
What Makes Our Service Different
Our equipment and operating approach are designed around the kinds of residential and contractor projects we work with every day.
Driveway-Friendly Equipment
Our trailer-style dumpsters use rubber tires and driveway protection boards to help reduce the risk of scraping or damaging residential surfaces.
Careful Placement
Narrow approaches, gates, slopes, landscaping, and limited turning space can all affect placement. We consider those details before dropping the bin.
Direct Communication
Customers can call or text us directly with access questions, project details, scheduling needs, swaps, and pickup requests.
Real Project Experience
We understand the difference between remodeling debris, roofing, household junk, landscaping material, and heavy materials such as concrete or dirt.
Three Practical Sizes
Our 7-, 15-, and 20-yard dumpsters give homeowners and contractors options for everything from dense heavy material to larger renovation projects.
Actual Disposal Cost
Disposal is billed separately at the actual disposal facility cost based on material type and weight. PDX Dumpster does not mark up disposal fees.
Choosing the Right Dumpster
Material type is just as important as volume. We can help you determine which dumpster makes the most sense for the project before delivery.

Portland Project Playbook: Pro Tips
Get the most value from your rental with local advice on rain, access, and materials.
Tame the Weather
It’s Portland—rain happens. Cover your load with a tarp overnight to avoid paying for water weight. Keep drywall and cardboard off the bottom to prevent moisture wicking.
Tight Space Experts
Whether it's a West Hills slope or a narrow SE Portland alley, we use protective boards and trailer-style equipment to protect your pavers and curb appeal.
Sorted for Savings
Inert loads (clean concrete, dirt, or sod) in our 7-yard dumpster often see better rates. Avoid mixing in trash to keep your disposal costs as low as possible.
Smart Load Plan: Fit More, Pay Less
Maximizing your dumpster space isn't just about Tetris—it's about weight distribution and safety. Follow these four steps to avoid overage fees.
Stage First
Break down boxes and stack flat panels vertically.
Heavy Low
Load dense debris first and spread it evenly across the floor.
Clean Streams
No hazardous waste or liquids. One bad item can flag a whole load.
Mind the Line
Stay below the top rail. We cannot safely transport "top-heavy" loads.
Portland-Specific FAQ
Can you place in older Portland alleys or steep drives? +
Often, yes. Our trailer-style equipment is much more maneuverable than a 30-ton roll-off truck. Text us photos of the grade—we’ll confirm placement before we dispatch.
Do I need a permit for street placement? +
Requirements vary by jurisdiction. In many Portland residential zones, a Right-of-Way permit is required for curb placement. We recommend driveway placement whenever possible to save you time and fees.
How do you handle local recycling? +
We route materials to the appropriate regional transfer stations. Clean concrete, scrap metal, and yard debris are prioritized for recovery rather than the landfill.
