Choosing the right Size Dumpster in Portland, ME

When you are getting ready to rent a dumpster in Portland, the first step is determining which size suits your needs the best. You will need to estimate how much waste you need to dump, which can be done my measuring your pile of debris by the length and width and dividing by 27 to get the cubic yards of waste.

It's important that you have enough space, so if you are on the border between two different sizes you should choose the larger one, or you may have to order another dumpster, or pay for it to be hauled to the junk yard in Portland and back to your property, which will cost more than just getting the right sized roll off right from the start.

Can I get a roll off container delivered today?

In some cases you can get a same day delivery, but not always. If you know that you will need a dumpster delivered in Portland on a certain day, it's always a good idea to schedule it a few weeks in advance to make sure there is availability.

How much does it cost to rent a dumpster in Portland?

Is there a delivery fee?

Deliver is often included in the quoted Portland dumpster cost, but in some cases it's in addition, so it's important to ask what the quote includes. If it's added on it usually costs about $100.

Does the estimate include all fees?

This is important to ask, as additional fees can really tack on a lot of unexpected expenses. Such possible fees include going over the weight capacity, delivery and pick-up fees, and disposal fees.

Do I need a permit to keep a roll-off dumpster on my property in Portland?

Depending on where you plan to keep your dumpster, you may need to obtain a permit from the city of Portland. When you obtain an estimate from local Portland dumpster companies they'll let you know if you need a permit or not, and if there are any fees associated with it.

You can keep the dumpster at your property for as little as one day up to 28 days. If you are working on a project and need to have weekly hauling, your local Portland dumpster company can set that up for you.
