A 10 yard dumpster runs about 51 to 112 dollars a day, with weekly rates landing between 426 and 778 dollars depending on debris type and rental length. Delivery fees, weight limits and how long you keep the box all move the number. Most Medford homeowners land near the middle of that range.
Roll-off dumpster rental price depends on three things: size, how long you keep it, and what's going in it. A 10 yard dumpster rental suits a garage cleanout or small remodel. A 20 yard dumpster rental handles a roof tear-off or a kitchen gut job. Bigger jobs move up to a 30 yard dumpster rental or a 40 yard dumpster rental, both suited to full renovations or new construction debris. Roll off dumpster rental costs in Medford generally track day rate, week rate, or month rate, and the delivery truck needs roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to set the box down clean. If your driveway is tight or on a hill, mention it when you book. Check dumpster sizes and dimensions before you pick a box, because guessing small means paying for a second haul. Contractors running ongoing work should look at construction dumpster rental terms instead of one-off pricing, since job-length rentals change the math.
10 yard dumpster rental cost in Medford sits at the low end of the roll-off lineup, and it's the box most people ask for first. Day rates for a 10 yarder run 51 to 112 dollars, with a typical job landing near 75 dollars a day if you're only keeping it a day or two. Weekly 10 yard dumpster rental prices climb to a 426 to 778 dollar band, and monthly runs 91 to 500 dollars depending on how much you're throwing away and how long the box sits on site. Delivery fees are separate and usually land between 100 and 500 dollars for a day rental, dropping to 50 to 150 dollars if you book by the week. Before you commit to size, walk through what cannot go in a dumpster since paint, tires and certain chemicals get rejected or charged extra. Ask about dumpster weight limits too. Concrete and shingles are heavy, and going over the line adds a surprise fee at pickup.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | 51 | 75 | 112 |
| week | 426 | 600 | 778 |
| month | 91 | 108 | 500 |
Because the price tag on a dumpster isn't really about the box, it's about the debris. A 20 yard dumpster rental full of drywall and lumber costs different than the same size full of shingles or concrete, since weight is what gets charged at the scale. Location plays in too: a job in Medford is a short haul, while a delivery out toward Woburn, 6.0 miles northwest, or Melrose, 5.0 miles northeast, adds drive time to the delivery fee. Rental length matters as much as size. A day rate exists for fast jobs, but most renovation work needs a week or more, and the per-day cost actually drops the longer you keep the box, so a weekend cleanout should never end up costing more than a full week rental. If your project needs a permit for street placement, check dumpster permit requirements with the city before delivery day, since placement in the public right of way needs confirming with Medford directly.
Placement on a driveway or private lot usually doesn't need city sign-off, but placement on the street does in most towns, and that rule needs confirming directly with Medford before delivery. Medford Porta Pros can drop the box on your property without a permit question in most cases. If there's no room and the dumpster has to sit at the curb, call the city first. Review dumpster permit requirements for what to ask about, and keep in mind OSHA housekeeping rule 1926.25 requires job sites to clear scrap and debris regularly, which is one more reason a dumpster on site, not scattered around the yard, keeps a renovation crew moving. Waste chute and enclosure rules under OSHA 1926.252 apply to larger commercial teardown work, not typical residential jobs, but a general contractor coordinating a multi-story strip-out should know that standard exists. For ongoing site cleanup during a build, pair the dumpster with broader construction site services planning so waste, water and sanitation get scheduled together instead of piecemeal.
Most Medford renovation and construction jobs need more than a dumpster, and bundling makes both scheduling and cost easier to plan. A crew on-site all day needs a toilet, and standard porta potty rental day rates run 100 to 350 dollars, with weekly terms usually the better deal for a multi-week job. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the ratio at one toilet for every 20 workers on a construction site, so a small crew is covered by one unit while a bigger crew needs more. If the job involves painting, coating, or applying herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities specifically for that exposure, which is different from a general handwashing setup, so look at a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental if that applies. Renovation projects that touch a septic line should also check septic pumping service, since a tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on household size. For material and tool storage between phases, a storage container rental keeps equipment secure and off the truck bed overnight. Use porta potty rental cost or porta potty rental per day to line up sanitation pricing next to your dumpster quote before you finalize the job budget.
A weekend rental for a 10 yard box typically falls inside the day-rate range, roughly 51 to 112 dollars per day, so a two-day weekend lands near the lower half of that band. Ask Medford Porta Pros for a flat weekend quote instead of stacking daily rates separately.
No, delivery is billed separately from the box rental. Day-rental delivery runs 100 to 500 dollars, while a week-long rental usually brings delivery down to 50 to 150 dollars, since the truck trip gets spread across a longer job.
Most bathroom remodels fit in a 10 yard dumpster, especially with tile, drywall and a single vanity. Larger gut jobs involving tubs or multiple rooms often need a 20 yard dumpster rental instead, so measure debris volume before booking.
Yes, monthly rentals are common on active job sites and the per-day cost drops compared to daily or weekend rates. Monthly 10 yard pricing runs 91 to 500 dollars depending on volume and turnover needs on site.
Usually not, since driveway placement stays on private property. Street placement is different and needs confirming directly with Medford before delivery, so call ahead if there's no room off the road for the box.
