Same-day delivery depends on cut-off timing, not luck. An order placed and confirmed early in the business day can reach most Portland addresses the same day; later orders are scheduled for next-day drop. Neighborhoods like Sellwood-Moreland, Woodstock, and Montavilla sit close to our routing, so a mid-renovation homeowner who calls in the morning often gets a bin on the driveway by afternoon.
The flat price is the whole point.
A 10-yard dumpster is $595, a 15-yard $650, a 20-yard $695, a 30-yard $795, and a 40-yard $895, each number is all-in, covering delivery, pickup, and disposal with no surprise tonnage or fuel surcharge added at the end. A 10-yard holds roughly four pickup-truck loads and fits a single-bathroom gut; a 30-yard swallows a full roof tear-off. The trade-off is driveway footprint versus debris volume: a 40-yard needs about 22 feet of clear length, while a 10-yard tucks into a tight Laurelhurst or Irvington driveway.
Here is the non-obvious part, the quoted flat rate already includes disposal, so the price you hear on the phone is the price you pay, which is unusual for fast-turnaround delivery.
Placement decides whether you need a permit. On private driveways in Hawthorne, Alberta Arts District, or Multnomah Village, no permit is required and the driver sets the bin on boards to protect the surface. A bin that must sit in the public right-of-way, common on narrow streets near St.
Johns or Hollywood, requires a street-use permit, which the Portland Bureau of Transportation administers; Multnomah County and city code govern how long debris containers may occupy a public street. Weight limits matter for heavy loads: dense material like concrete, brick, and dirt fills a small bin fast, and the federal road-weight rules cap how much a truck can legally haul, which is why heavy debris often moves best in a 10-yard even on a large job.
What goes in the bin follows disposal law. General construction and household debris are accepted; household hazardous waste such as paint, solvents, and automotive fluids is not, and the Oregon DEQ sets how those items must be handled.
Appliances with refrigerant, tires, and batteries are also excluded; local recycling drop-off options cover most of those. Mattresses and electronics (e-waste) have their own channels. Keeping prohibited items out keeps the flat price flat, because a contaminated load triggers added disposal cost under jobsite waste-handling standards and product-disposal guidance.
The delivery sequence is simple.
Step 1: call (503) 433-7112 and confirm the dumpster size and address. Step 2: choose a same-day or next-day drop window. Step 3: the driver places the bin where you direct, level and on protective boards.
Step 4: load it over your rental period. Step 5: call for pickup, and the same flat rate covers the haul-away and disposal.
Every job gets a firm, written price after an on-site visit.
