When renting a dumpster you’ll want to first consider how much trash you’ll be producing and which sized dumpster would be ideal. In general, it’s a good idea to ensure you have a little room left over in your dumpster so you aren’t stuck needing it to be emptied and returned to you repeatedly. Knowing the weight limits of each dumpster is a pivotal fact as well, especially if you’re getting rid of heavy materials like asphalt or roofing. Typically, there are certain dumpster sizes that will match the typical trash removal tasks that a person will be performing, which will give you an idea of what you expect when you’re working on your own project.

The following are the most common projects our customers need a dumpster for and the recommended sizes to rent:

General Waste Removal or Remodeling Projects: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is best for remodeling a single room in your residence, or performing a general cleanup. This size dumpster can hold around six truckloads of trash, which is typically adequate, but you may need a bigger one for rooms with numerous cabinets or appliances to dispose of.

Multi-Room Remodeling: If you have more than one room you’re going to be working on, then it’s a very good idea to upgrade to a 30 cubic yard dumpster size. This allows for a greater volume of trash to be effortlessly disposed of and will guarantee you don’t need numerous trips to dispose of it.

One Room Storage Area Cleanup: Sorting through unwanted objects or debris from your storage areas is a great way to free up more living space in your home. The standard sized home storage area can be cleaned out using a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster. However, if you are disposing of large items or appliances, then a 20 cubic yard dumpster rental solution would be much better.

Complete Home Cleanout Projects: For stuff such as furniture or large appliances that you’re cleaning out of your home, a 15-20 cubic yard dumpster would be ideal for the average house. Much larger homes, however, could benefit from employing a 30 cubic yard dumpster to take care of all the unwanted items you’re getting rid of.

Landscaping or Yard Work: Landscaping, yard or gardening work typically only produce a small amount of waste materials that will not take up a substantial amount of space in a dumpster. Because of this, these sorts of projects typically only require a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster unless it involves a large amount of tree branches.

Contracting Work: For large renovation, home improvement or construction undertakings a big dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be perfect. If you have a big renovation project ahead of you, then you can bet they’ll be plenty of waste to dispose of. Keep in mind, if you will be disposing of very heavy objects such as concrete or bricks, you’ll want a specially designed dumpster to handle that.

How Much Should I Pay for Renting a Dumpster in Portland?

Generally,you can expect to pay around $180 to $1,000 for a roll-off container rental in Portland. Dumpsters for rent in Portland can vary in cost based on different things.

One of the biggest factors you need to think about is the size of the bin. You must plan which type of bin to get so you can avoid paying extra rental fees. For small types of bins, you can expect to pay around $200. If you get a larger dumpster, you may spend close to $1000. Most rental services include the travel costs into the final bill without you even knowing. Always verify the final rates with the provider before handing over your credit card information.

The first step in deciding the cost of your dumpster rental is to decide on the size you’ll need to have. As the size of the dumpster you’re renting increases, as does the price. The other determining factor is how long, or how many days, you’ll be renting the dumpster for. However, if the dumpster you rented fills up before the job is finished, you can always arrange to have it taken away before the rental period ends. There are a few other factors besides just the dumpster’s size and rental length that may affect the total cost.

Also be aware of the following guidelines that could factor into the price of your dumpster rental:

– How heavy the waste items are.
– Waste that would be regarded as hazardous materials.
– Landfill fees on certain items such as appliances or large furniture.
– Charges for going over the dumpster’s weight limitation.
– Any permits that must be acquired.
