What are my options when renting a dumpster in Portland, ME?

When it comes to renting a dumpster in Portland, you can choose between a 20-yard, 30-yard and 40-yard container. Dumpsters are sized based on how many cubic yards of waste they hold. For example, a 20-yard dumpster is 8 feet wide x 22 feet long x 4 feet high. It holds 20 cubic yards of waste. A cubic yard is 3 feet wide x 3 feet long x 3 feet deep. Weight will vary for a cubic yard. For instance, a cubic yard of popcorn will weigh significantly less than a cubic yard of roofing shingles. Other options include adding wheels to your trash container which makes it easier to move between or around job sites; locking devices which help with child safety, animal control and deterring people from adding their trash to your dumpster; and rear swing doors which allow workers to carry heavy items through the rear door at ground level rather than having to lift objects high enough to toss them into the dumpster's open top.

Dumpster Rental 101 - Portland, ME

Learn the basics of renting and using temporary roll-off dumpsters for your Portland home or business.

A roll-off dumpster is a heavy-duty trash container used for big cleanup projects. This large, sturdy trash container is rectangular in shape and made of welded steel with an open top for easy, on-location loading of junk, trash and debris. Its large capacity makes it ideal for a cleanup, remodel, renovation or demolition. The industry name for these garbage containers is “roll off dumpster” because they are delivered by a truck that rolls the dumpster off the back of the truck.
There are many uses for a roll-off dumpster. They’re ideal for: manufacturers; large retailers; construction and demolition firms; land, yard or tree clearing and removal; festivals and large events; and agricultural harvests. The dumpster’s size and depth also make it the perfect solution to centrally and safely collect garbage and debris during a home or business remodeling, demolition or construction project; carpet, floor, roof or driveway replacements; and natural disaster cleanups, such as after a hurricane, fire or flood.
