Delivery considerations in Portland

Tight streets and multi-unit buildings

Many Portland properties — especially on the peninsula — have narrow driveways, shared lots, or no off-street space. Tell us whether the dumpster can fit on private property or would need to sit on the street.

Street placement

If the only option is a street or sidewalk, check with the City of Portland about right-of-way requirements for your specific location before your delivery date.

Older homes and heavy debris

Plaster, lath, and tile from older housing add weight quickly. List them in your request so the included 1 ton and overage can be estimated realistically.

Do I need a permit in Portland?

Usually not for placement on your own property. Street or sidewalk placement may need approval — confirm with the Portland municipal office for your location. Placement and permits guide.

Includes up to 1 ton (2,000 lbs). Additional weight is charged at $0.09 per pound over 2,000 lbs.

You only pay weight overage on the amount above the included 2,000 lbs. For example, a load weighing 2,500 lbs has 500 lbs of additional weight, resulting in a $45 overage charge. Dumpster volume and included weight are separate limits; all sizes include the same 2,000-lb allowance.
