Dumpster Disposal Billed at Actual Facility Cost
PDX Dumpster separates the dumpster rental charge from the disposal charge so customers can see what they are paying for the rental and what the disposal facility charged for the load.
Disposal is based on material type and actual load weight, and PDX Dumpster does not add a markup to the disposal fee.
Rental and Disposal Are Separate
The cost of hauling debris depends on more than dumpster size. Material type and load weight affect what the disposal facility charges for a specific load.
Dumpster Delivery
We deliver the selected dumpster for your project and standard rental period.
You Load It
You fill the dumpster with approved material during your rental period.
Load Is Processed
After pickup, the material is taken to the appropriate disposal or processing facility.
Actual Disposal Charge
The disposal charge is based on the actual facility cost for that material and load weight.
Different Materials Can Have Different Disposal Costs
Household debris, construction waste, yard debris, roofing material, concrete, dirt, and other materials may be processed differently by local facilities.
That means two dumpsters with the same container size may still have different disposal charges.
Weight Matters Too
A dumpster filled with bulky lightweight debris can weigh much less than one containing dense construction material.
Billing disposal separately allows the final disposal charge to reflect the actual load rather than using a single assumed weight for every customer.
Why We Separate Disposal From the Rental
A single flat dumpster price often has to assume how much debris a customer will load and what that material will cost to dispose of.
Separating the rental and disposal charges gives customers a clearer breakdown and keeps the disposal portion tied to the actual load.

Disposal is billed separately at the actual disposal facility cost based on the material type and measured load weight. PDX Dumpster does not mark up disposal fees.
Why can disposal costs vary between dumpster loads?
Disposal facilities may charge different rates depending on material type and load weight, so two dumpsters of the same size can have different disposal costs.
Are disposal fees included in the base rental?
No. The dumpster rental and disposal charges are handled separately. Disposal is billed after the load is processed based on the actual facility cost.
