Portland-Focused FAQs
Which size dumpster do I need for a bathroom remodel in Portland?
Most bathroom remodels fit a 15-yard. For tile/concrete demo only, consider a 7-yard due to weight.
Do you handle concrete, dirt, or sod?
Yes. Book a 7-yard for dense, heavy materials to keep loads safe and cost-efficient.
How long is the rental?
The standard rental is 4 days. Need longer? Extensions are available.
How do you price dumpster rentals in Portland?
Clear rental rate + actual disposal (scale tickets). Typical disposal averages ~ $0.08 per lb, but varies by material.
Will the dumpster damage my driveway?
We use protective boards and trailer-style, driveway-friendly equipment to protect surfaces.
Do you offer same-day or next-day delivery?
Often, yes—same/next-day is available depending on schedule and location.

Access & Placement
- Clear a level spot ~1 car length; mind low limbs, lines, and steep driveways.
- Driveway-friendly placement with protective boards; curb/road placement may require a right-of-way approval depending on your city/HOA.
- Alley, cul-de-sac, West Hills slopes, and narrow streets: we’ll advise safe positioning and approach angles.
Material Sorting = Lower Costs
- Inert loads: clean concrete/asphalt/brick—keep dirt/garbage out for better rates.
- Green waste: branches, trimmings, and leaves—no plastic bags or soil clumps.
- Construction: drywall, lumber, cabinets—remove appliances/paint to avoid contamination fees.
Rain Strategy (It’s Portland!)
- Cover loads overnight with a tarp to avoid water weight.
- Keep cardboard/drywall off the ground so it doesn’t wick moisture.
- Stage debris by the door/garage when storms are forecast for faster loading windows.
Choose by Debris, Not Just Size
Dense & Heavy
Concrete, dirt, sod, gravel, asphalt → prioritize the 7-yard to stay within safe transport weights. Keep it clean (no trash/wood) for better disposal outcomes.
Mixed Household
Furniture, boxed junk, light demo → 15-yard is the Portland go-to for garage/attic cleanouts and small remodels without overpaying for air.
Renovations & Turnovers
Multi-room refresh, light demo, property turns → 20-yard helps avoid multiple hauls. Keep roofing shingles separate when possible for clearer weight estimates.
Unsure? Tell us your address, photos, and materials—we’ll recommend the most efficient option for your block and driveway.
Smart Load Plan: Fit More, Avoid Overage
Fast Answers for Portland Jobs
Can you place in older Portland alleys or steep drives?
Often, yes. Text us photos of the approach and grade—we’ll confirm safe access and placement options before dispatch.
Do I need a permit for street placement?
Sometimes. Requirements vary by jurisdiction and HOA. If curb placement is your only option, we’ll walk you through next steps.
What about recycling and sustainability?
We separate and route materials to appropriate local facilities whenever possible—clean concrete/asphalt, metals, and yard debris see better recovery outcomes than mixed loads.
How do I estimate weight without a scale?
Use density as your guide: concrete/sod are heavy (choose 7-yard and keep it clean); furniture/cardboard are light (15- or 20-yard). We’ll sanity-check based on your photos.
Tip: Weekend projects book fast during dry spells. If you can take a mid-week delivery, availability is usually better.
