Construction dumpster rental in Medford runs from a 10 yard box for a bathroom gut job to a 40 yard unit for a full teardown, with daily rates starting around $51 and weekly rates in the $426 to $778 range. Medford Porta Pros delivers same week, sometimes same day.
Most Medford contractors start smaller than they think they need. A 10 yard dumpster rental handles a single bathroom remodel, a deck tear-off, or a small basement cleanout. Step up to a 20 yard dumpster rental for a kitchen renovation or roofing job with two or three layers of shingles coming off. Bigger additions and whole-house gut jobs usually need a 30 yard dumpster rental, and new construction or commercial demo often calls for a 40 yard dumpster rental. If you are not sure, check dumpster sizes and dimensions before you call, or just describe the job and let us size it. Every roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so tell us if your driveway is tight or your street parking is limited. That single detail decides whether the truck can drop the box where you want it or has to set it at the curb instead. Homeowners doing a renovation should also look at home renovation porta potty options, since most job sites need both a dumpster and a toilet once crews are on site for more than a day or two.
Construction dumpster rental prices depend on size, rental length, and what is going in the box. Here is the current range across our measured data:
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| Week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| Month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
A short rental for a weekend cleanup runs cheaper per day than a week-long job, but the week rate covers a lot more hauling capacity for the money. For a fuller cost breakdown by size, see dumpster rental cost. Weight matters too. Roofing debris, concrete, and dirt add up fast, and going over your box's rated weight limit adds a fee, so check dumpster weight limits before you load anything heavy. Not everything belongs in a construction dumpster either. Paint cans, batteries, tires, and certain chemicals are usually excluded, and what cannot go in a dumpster covers the full list so you are not stuck disposing of banned items separately after the truck is already loaded.
Placement in the public right of way, meaning a driveway apron, sidewalk, or street parking spot, needs confirming with the City of Medford before delivery. We are not able to state a specific permit fee or code number here because that requirement was not verified for this page, so check with the city directly or read dumpster permit requirements for the general framework contractors run into across construction dumpster rental companies in this market. If your property has room to set the dumpster fully on your own driveway or yard, you usually skip the permit question altogether. Corner lots, narrow streets, and shared driveways are where this comes up most, so flag it when you book. Medford sits close enough to a few towns that crews sometimes run jobs across town lines in the same week, with Everett about 4.3 miles southeast and Somerville-adjacent streets creating similar right-of-way rules nearby. Winchester is roughly 3.7 miles northwest if a job spans both towns, and permit rules do not carry over between cities, so each site gets checked separately.
Yes. A small construction dumpster rental, usually the 10 yard size, is built for exactly this: a single-room remodel, a fence tear-out, a small deck job, or a weekend cleanout that would otherwise mean six trips to the dump in a pickup truck. Day rates on the smaller units sit at the low end of the pricing table above, and most homeowners doing a one-day project find that cheaper than renting a truck and paying dump fees per load. If your job also involves a portable toilet, bundling both from construction site services usually saves a delivery trip compared to ordering separately. For ongoing renovation work that stretches past a few days, a standard porta potty rental on site keeps crews from driving to a gas station bathroom, and Medford Porta Pros can schedule both the box and the toilet for the same delivery window. Larger crews working multi-week jobs should also check monthly porta potty rental pricing, since a month-long rental on both dumpster and toilet tends to run more efficiently than renting week to week and re-booking each time.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Medford before you book. We don't have a specific ordinance number verified for this page, so call the city or check dumpster permit requirements for what to ask about. If the dumpster sits entirely on private property, this usually is not an issue.
Most rentals run by the day, week, or month, and the table above shows typical bands for each. Weekly rentals make sense for active renovation jobs; monthly works better for slow-moving new construction. Talk to us about your timeline and we will match the duration to the job instead of guessing.
Paint, batteries, tires, and certain chemicals are typically not allowed, and there are often separate rules for concrete and shingles depending on weight. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before loading anything questionable so you avoid a rejected pickup or an extra fee.
Yes. Every roll-off has a rated weight limit, and going over it adds a charge on pickup. Concrete, dirt, and roofing material are the usual culprits. See dumpster weight limits for how limits are typically structured by size.
