DIY Home Renovation? Here's Your Dumpster Rental Guide

Tackling a DIY home renovation in Portland? From kitchen remodels to bathroom overhauls, these projects generate a lot of debris. PDX Dumpster simplifies your cleanup with our convenient and affordable dumpster rental services. This guide will walk you through the process.

Planning Your Dumpster Rental

  • Timing: Coordinate your dumpster delivery with your project timeline. Have it arrive when you anticipate generating the most debris.

  • Placement: Choose a level, accessible location for the dumpster. Consider driveway access, street placement (check for permit requirements), and any potential obstacles like trees or power lines.

  • Permits: In some cases, you may need a permit to place a dumpster on the street. Check with the City of Portland to determine if a permit is required for your location. We can also help guide you through the process.

Choosing the Right Size for Your DIY Project

  • Small Projects (Bathroom Remodel, Deck Repair): A 10-yard dumpster is often sufficient.

  • Medium Projects (Kitchen Remodel, Roof Replacement): A 15- or 20-yard dumpster is usually the best choice.

  • Large Projects (Whole-House Renovation, Major Addition): A 20-yard or larger dumpster may be necessary. Consult with us to determine the best size.

Loading Your Dumpster Safely and Efficiently

  • Safety First: Always wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves and closed-toe shoes, when loading a dumpster.

  • Break It Down: Disassemble large items like furniture and appliances before loading them to maximize space.

  • Even Distribution: Distribute the weight of your debris evenly across the dumpster floor to prevent shifting and potential damage.

  • Don't Overfill: Never overfill the dumpster. Keep debris below the fill line to ensure safe transportation and avoid extra charges.

  • Prohibited Items: Do not dispose of hazardous materials, paint, tires, or other prohibited items in the dumpster. Contact us for information on proper disposal of these materials.
