Specialty Dumpsters for Heavy Materials in Portland: Concrete, Dirt, Asphalt & More
When you're dealing with serious weight—like concrete chunks, dirt piles, asphalt slabs, or excavation debris—not just any dumpster will do. At PDX Dumpster, we offer specialty heavy-material dumpsters designed specifically for these demanding projects across the Portland metro area.
Whether you're a contractor clearing a job site or a homeowner tackling a foundation demo, our heavy-duty bins help you dispose of dense debris efficiently, legally, and affordably.
Why You Need a Heavy-Duty Dumpster for Concrete, Dirt, and Asphalt
Most traditional dumpsters have a weight limit of 2–4 tons. But heavy materials like concrete, soil, and asphalt add up fast. Exceeding those limits can result in overweight fees or rejected hauls.
Our concrete and dirt dumpsters are:
Lower-profile for easier loading with wheelbarrows or small equipment
Weight-rated for dense debris, holding up to 10 tons (depending on size and material type)
Designated for single-material loads, which can be recycled or diverted from landfills
What Can Go in a Heavy Material Dumpster?
PDX Dumpster provides dumpsters specifically tailored for:
✅ Concrete (with or without rebar)
✅ Asphalt (driveway or road tear-outs)
✅ Dirt and soil (clean fill, excavated ground)
✅ Rock, gravel, and brick
✅ Mixed demolition debris (concrete + brick + dirt)
⚠️ Note: Hazardous materials, wet concrete slurry, treated wood, or garbage cannot be mixed into these loads.
Common Projects That Need a Heavy Debris Dumpster
Our heavy material dumpsters are ideal for:
Concrete patio, walkway, or foundation removals
Driveway demolition or asphalt replacement
Excavation and trenching for plumbing or foundation work
Landscaping and retaining wall tear-downs
Basement dig-outs or soil grading jobs
If it’s dense, heavy, and bulky—we’ve got the right dumpster for the job.
Dumpster Sizes for Heavy Materials
We typically offer:
🟩 10-Yard Dumpster – Best for tight spaces or minor demo work
🟨 15-Yard Dumpster – Ideal for mid-size concrete or dirt jobs
🟧 20-Yard Dumpster – Maximum volume allowed for heavy materials (weight limits apply)
💡 We recommend one material per dumpster to qualify for recycling rates and avoid overage charges.
