Dumpster Rental in Portland, OR

Portland's dense, eco-conscious neighborhoods often have narrow streets lined with old-growth trees, limiting overhead clearance for trucks. Driveways can be short or shared, often necessitating a street permit from PBOT. The city has strict recycling goals, so separating materials can sometimes lower your overall disposal costs.

Constant drizzle keeps debris wet; tarping your dumpster is essential to avoid paying for rainwater weight.
