Per-size tables rest on two brokers (Ultimate 7-day, ZTERS 10-day — ZTERS publishes no 15-yard, so that range is Ultimate alone), which is why this page is labeled mixed. Local Blue Rose includes more tonnage than the brokers (up to 5–6 tons on a 40-yard against the brokers' 4) and another local, BC Haulers, sells 13- and 21-yard boxes by the 24-hour period with debris billed at $180/ton — a completely different model. Compare included tonnage and rental days, not just headline price. Your exact quote depends on debris type, how long you keep the bin, and how far the truck drives.
Weight overages. Go over the included tonnage and most haulers charge roughly $50–$100 per extra ton. Heavy debris (concrete, dirt, shingles) hits the limit fast — that's what the smaller 10-yard "heavy debris" bins exist for.
Extra days. The standard rental is 7 days. Extra days typically run $10–$25 per day, or a flat fee per week. Ask before you book, not after.
Debris type. Clean construction debris is cheapest. Mixed household junk is mid-range. Tires, mattresses, appliances with refrigerant, paint and anything hazardous cost extra or are refused outright.
Driveway or private property entirely off the right-of-way: no permit. On a street, parking lane or sidewalk you need a Temporary Street Use Permit (TSUP) from the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) — apply online, permits typically issue within 5–10 business days. The cost is the parking reservation: $87/day per 20-foot space in metered areas, $70/week non-metered inside the service area, $48/week outside it. You can file it yourself or have the hauler file at booking. Trap: downtown TSUP moratoriums restrict permits during the Rose Festival (late May–early June) and the holiday shopping season. Suburbs run their own programs.
Book the size you're sure about, not the size you hope for — one 20-yard bin is cheaper than two 10-yard swaps. Keep the rental inside 7 days. Load heavy material evenly and don't fill past the rim; an overloaded bin gets refused and you pay a trip fee anyway. If your project is flexible, ask about weekday delivery pricing — some haulers discount off-peak drops.
