7-Yard Heavy Material Dumpster Rental
Small but heavy-duty. Our 7-yard unit is purpose-built for dense debris like concrete, dirt, sod, gravel, and stone. It gives Portland metro customers the right size for tough demo jobs without taking up unnecessary space on the driveway.
This is the right dumpster when the project is compact in volume but extremely heavy in material.

Best for:
- Concrete demo: old patios, walkways, stairs, and broken slabs.
- Excavation: clean fill dirt, gravel, stone, and compact heavy debris.
- Landscaping: sod, stumps, soil, and other dense yard material.
- Small cleanups: a practical choice where driveway space is tight.
The weight gap warning
Standard 15-yard and 20-yard dumpsters are not the right choice for full loads of concrete or dirt. Dense material reaches hauling limits quickly, which is why the 7-yard unit exists. It lets you load heavy material safely and appropriately without using a larger container that is built for volume instead of weight.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about quoting and using a 7-yard heavy-material dumpster.
What is a 7-yard dumpster best for?
A 7-yard dumpster is best for concrete demo, dirt, sod, gravel, stone, and other dense heavy materials.
Why can't I use a larger dumpster for concrete or dirt?
Because dense material reaches hauling limits very quickly. A larger dumpster is built for more volume, not more weight.
How much does a 7-yard dumpster rental cost?
PDX Dumpster charges $415 for a 7-yard dumpster, plus $0.13 per pound for disposal weight.
How should I get a quote for a heavy load?
Call or text photos of the project so we can help confirm whether the material is clean heavy debris and whether the 7-yard is the right fit.
