Medford Porta Pros delivers 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard roll-off dumpsters across Medford, usually next-day. A 20 yard box, the size most homeowners and contractors land on, runs from about 91 to 500 dollars a month depending on term and haul frequency. Same truck handles a kitchen gut job or a full roof tear-off.
Size comes down to what you are throwing out, not square footage of the job site. A 10 yard roll off dumpster suits a garage cleanout or a small bathroom demo, and it fits in a tight driveway. Step up to a 20 yard dumpster rental for a kitchen remodel, a deck tear-off, or a couple rooms of flooring. A 30 yard dumpster rental covers a whole-house declutter or new construction debris on a modest build. The 40 yard dumpster rental is for commercial teardown and big renovation jobs generating a lot of light debris. Check dumpster sizes and dimensions before you commit, because footprint on the ground matters as much as capacity when the truck has to back onto a Medford street. If you are still not sure, our how many porta potties do I need style guide logic applies here too: estimate by volume of debris, not by guessing. We also run roll-off dumpster rental drops for construction dumpster rental accounts that need multiple boxes rotating on one site. Renting the wrong size costs more in overage fees than just going up a size from the start.
Tires, batteries, paint, solvents, refrigerants and anything flammable are off limits in a standard roll off, and most haulers will not touch asbestos or medical waste either. Full details live on what cannot go in a dumpster, and it is worth a read before the truck shows up, since a banned item found at the transfer station can mean a rejected load and a redelivery fee. Painting contractors working with coatings or solvents on site should also know that OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where employees apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, so pair the dumpster with a handwashing station rental if that is the scope of work. Construction debris, drywall, wood, shingles and packaging are all fine. If your load is close to the line, call before loading rather than after. We would rather tell you no over the phone than charge you for a bin the landfill sends back.
Pricing depends on size and how long you keep the box, and the table below covers the day, week and month rates we see across the market.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| Week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| Month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Delivery is usually billed separately, and that fee ranges from about 100 to 500 dollars depending on distance and access. A weekend rental, common for a one-day cleanout or a yard sale purge, tends to land in the 390 to 497 dollar range. For a deeper breakdown by size and term, see dumpster rental cost and dumpster permit requirements if the box needs to sit in the street rather than a driveway.
Maybe, and it depends entirely on where the dumpster sits. If it stays on private property, a driveway or a yard, most jobs need nothing from the city. Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or the curb strip, is a different matter and that needs confirming directly with the City of Medford before delivery. We have not verified a specific ordinance number for this, so do not take our word for it. Ask the city, then call us with the answer and we will schedule around it. Full guidance is on dumpster permit requirements, and the same right-of-way question comes up for temporary fence rental and storage container rental when either sits outside the property line.
Every size has a weight limit built into the rental price, and going over it triggers an overage charge per ton at pickup. Heavy debris like concrete, dirt, roofing shingles and brick fills a bin's weight capacity long before it fills the visual space, so a 20 yard box of shingles might hit its limit at a fraction full. Light debris like framing lumber, cardboard and drywall scraps runs the other way, filling the box before weight is a concern. Dumpster weight limits breaks down the ton allowance by size so you are not surprised on the invoice. If your project is mixed, heavy tear-out plus lighter finish debris, talk to us about splitting it across two smaller boxes instead of one big one. It is often cheaper than paying overage on a single 40 yarder.
A roll-off truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point to place the box, so a long driveway or open lot makes delivery simple. Tight urban lots in Medford, especially near denser residential blocks, sometimes require the box to sit partway in the street, which loops back to the permit question above. Surface matters too. The truck is heavy and a soft lawn or fresh asphalt can rut or crack under the load, so gravel, pavement or packed dirt is the safer landing spot. If you are unsure about clearance or grade, send us a photo of the spot before delivery day and we will tell you if it works. The same clearance logic applies whether you are getting a dumpster, a restroom trailer rental, or a mobile office trailer rental dropped on site.
For most residential and light commercial jobs, a 20 or 30 yard box is plenty. Larger commercial demolition or multi-unit builds sometimes call for continuous swap-out service, where a full box is picked up and an empty one dropped same day, keeping the site moving without a gap in capacity. That kind of rotation is common on active construction site services accounts that also need temporary fence rental around the perimeter and a light tower rental for early or late work. On any active jobsite, OSHA 1926.25 requires scrap and debris to be cleared from work areas, and 1926.252 covers proper disposal including chutes and enclosures where waste volume is high. A dumpster on site is often the easiest way to stay compliant with both. Crews also lean on handwashing station requirements guidance to keep sanitation squared away alongside debris management.
Yes, and the day rate in the table above is built for exactly that: garage cleanouts, estate cleanouts, or a single afternoon of yard debris. If the job is closer to a weekend project, the weekend band tends to run higher per day than a full week rental because it is a short-term premium rate, not a discount. Same principle applies across our other short-term gear, from temporary fence cost to porta potty rental per day. If your one-day job turns into a two-week job, we can usually convert the rental on the spot rather than starting a new contract. Just call before the original term runs out so there is no gap in coverage or a late fee tacked on.
Medford sits close to several towns we also serve directly. Winchester is about 3.7 miles northwest, Woburn about 6.0 miles northwest, and Everett about 4.3 miles southeast, so if your job straddles a town line, a dumpster booked out of Medford still covers you. We run the same truck fleet into Melrose, roughly 5.0 miles northeast, and Chelsea, about 5.7 miles southeast, without a change in rate structure. Full coverage details live on service areas, along with dedicated pages for porta potty rental in Winchester, porta potty rental in Everett, porta potty rental in Melrose, porta potty rental in Chelsea, and porta potty rental in Woburn if you need toilets alongside the dumpster.
Dumpsters are one piece of most site setups. Renovation and demo jobs in Medford often pair a roll-off with a portable toilet rental or a standard porta potty rental for the crew, plus a handwashing station rental to round out sanitation. If the project involves a septic line or grease trap near the work zone, take a look at septic pumping service or grease trap pumping before digging starts. For a full rundown of what a job site typically needs beyond the dumpster, construction site services covers fencing, lighting and power together. You can also start from home renovation porta potty if the dumpster is just one line item on a bigger remodel. When you are ready, request a quote and we will size the box and the delivery window together, or check porta potty rental in Medford for the toilet side of the same job.
Most rentals run by the week or month, and both are in the price table above. There is no fixed cap. If you need it longer than planned, call before the term ends and we will extend it, usually without a new delivery fee.
Rarely, if the surface is solid pavement or packed gravel. Soft lawns, fresh asphalt or loose dirt are more at risk under the weight of a loaded box. Tell us the surface type when booking and we can plan placement to protect it.
An overfilled box, meaning debris stacked above the rim, usually cannot be hauled safely and the driver may refuse pickup. Dumpster weight limits covers both the fill line and the tonnage cap so you can plan the load before it gets there.
Only with confirmation from the City of Medford, since placement in the public right of way is not something we can approve on our end. Keep it on private property and you generally skip this question entirely. See dumpster permit requirements for more.
Next-day delivery is typical for most sizes. Tight timelines, same-day cleanouts or jobs starting within hours, are worth a direct call rather than an online form, since availability shifts by day.
A 10 yard roll off dumpster suits small cleanouts and fits tight driveways. A 20 yard dumpster rental roughly doubles capacity and covers most kitchen or bathroom remodels. Check dumpster sizes and dimensions for exact footprint before choosing.
Yes, for active construction sites generating steady debris. A full box gets picked up and an empty one dropped the same visit, so the job never stalls waiting on haul-away. Ask about this when you request a quote.
Usually not, if it stays fully on your lot. Right-of-way placement is the trigger for permit questions, not private driveway use. Confirm specifics with the City of Medford if you are unsure which category your spot falls into.
