30-Yard Dumpster Rental Portland

The 30-yard roll-off measures roughly 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet tall, and holds about 30 cubic yards, the equivalent of 9 to 12 pickup-truck loads. That capacity makes it the right pick for a full-house cleanout in Laurelhurst or Irvington, a two-layer roof tear-off on a Sellwood-Moreland bungalow, or a kitchen-plus-basement gut where a 20-yard would top out before the crew is done. A dumpster rental is not junk removal, the crew drops the bin and you or your contractor load it, which keeps the price flat and predictable at $795.

Choosing between sizes comes down to volume against footprint. If a single-room cleanout or a bathroom remodel is the whole job, the 10-yard at $595 or 15-yard at $650 handles it with less driveway taken up. If a garage plus attic clear-out is the plan, the 20-yard at $695 usually fits. Step up to the 30-yard when the debris is high-volume but not extremely heavy, think shingles, framing lumber, drywall, and mixed household junk. For a full structure teardown or a large commercial gut, the 40-yard at $895 gives another 10 yards of room. The trade-off is simple: more capacity means fewer swap-outs, but the 30-yard's 22-foot length needs a driveway or street stretch to sit level.

Placement matters more in some Portland neighborhoods than others. Narrow streets in Multnomah Village and Alberta Arts District often make driveway placement the cleaner call; a wide flat driveway in Woodstock or Kenton takes the 30-yard easily. When the bin has to sit on a public street, common on tight blocks in Hawthorne, Montavilla, or St. Johns, the City of Portland requires a temporary street-use permit, so give a day or two of lead time. A crucial non-obvious point: dense debris like concrete, dirt, or roofing tile has strict weight limits, so a 30-yard packed with heavy material may need to go into a smaller bin instead, say so on the call and the right size gets matched to the load.

Booking runs in three plain steps. First, call (971) 531-4171 with the property address, the neighborhood, and what's going in the bin. Second, confirm placement, driveway or street, and whether a permit is needed. Third, take delivery, load it, and call for pickup. The standard rental window covers the days most projects need; if a Laurelhurst remodel or Kenton roof job runs long, ask about added days before the haul-off so the flat price stays flat.
