A 10 yard construction dumpster rental in Saint Paul runs 51 to 112 dollars a day, with weekly rates between 426 and 778 dollars depending on the hauler and how long the job sits. Roofing tear-offs, garage demos and basement cleanouts all fit that range. Bigger jobs need bigger boxes, which we cover below.
Saint Paul Porta Pros delivers roll-off dumpsters for framing crews, remodelers and demo contractors across the city. If you are pricing out a full construction site services package alongside toilets and fencing, this page covers just the dumpster side. For toilets and washing stations on the same job, see construction site services or jump straight to portable toilet rental.
Most residential remodel and small demo jobs in Saint Paul use a 10 yard dumpster, while framing and roofing crews often step up to a 20 yard dumpster or a 30 yard dumpster for heavier volume. Full teardown or new-build jobs frequently need a 40 yard dumpster. Size depends on debris type as much as volume: shingles and concrete weigh far more per cubic yard than framing scrap, so a smaller box filled with dense material can hit its limit before it looks full. Check dumpster weight limits before you order if the job involves roofing, tile or masonry. If you are not sure which box fits your scope, dumpster sizes and dimensions breaks down footprint and capacity side by side, and a quick call gets you a straight answer faster than guessing. Delivery trucks need roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to place a roll-off safely, which matters on narrow Saint Paul lots with alley access or tight driveways near older housing stock.
Pricing depends on size, rental length and what you are throwing away. Here is what typical rentals look like in Saint Paul right now.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| Week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| Month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
These figures cover a standard roll-off box. Delivery is usually billed separately, and daily delivery fees in this market run from 100 to 500 dollars depending on distance and access. For a deeper breakdown of what drives the final number, see dumpster rental cost. If you are comparing daily versus weekly math on a longer renovation, construction dumpster rental cost walks through it, and general roll-off dumpster rental covers non-construction use cases like cleanouts and yard waste too.
Maybe, and it depends on where the dumpster sits. If the box goes on your own driveway or yard, you likely will not need anything from the city. If it has to sit in the street or blocks a sidewalk, placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery day. Saint Paul enforces its own right-of-way rules, and we have not verified a specific ordinance number here, so do not take a guess as fact. Call the city or ask your contractor if they have pulled permits on that block before. For a fuller rundown of what usually triggers a permit conversation, see dumpster permit requirements. This is separate from load restrictions: what cannot go in a dumpster covers banned materials like tires, paint cans and certain electronics, which apply everywhere in Saint Paul regardless of permit status.
Because size, weight and rental length all move independently. A 10 yard box for a weekend garage cleanout costs far less than a 40 yard box sitting on a job site for a month. Housekeeping matters too: OSHA 1926.25 requires scrap and debris to be cleared from work areas regularly, and OSHA 1926.252 covers disposal of waste materials including chutes and enclosures on active construction sites. Crews that keep a dumpster on-site and use it consistently, rather than letting debris pile up and calling for a rush swap, tend to spend less over the life of a project. If your site also needs sanitation, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet counts for construction crews by headcount, worth knowing if you are budgeting the whole jobsite at once through construction site services. Contractors comparing several construction dumpster rental companies should ask each one about swap fees and overage charges before signing, since those often move the total more than the base rate does.
A 10 yard box runs between 51 and 112 dollars a day in Saint Paul, with most jobs landing closer to 75 dollars. Weekly rentals land between 426 and 778 dollars. Confirm what is included in that rate. Some haulers bundle delivery and pickup, others bill them separately.
Only if the city allows it for your location. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with Saint Paul before delivery, since rules vary by street and by neighborhood. Driveway or private lot placement usually avoids the question entirely. Ask before the truck shows up, not after.
Tires, batteries, paint, solvents and certain electronics are commonly restricted, though rules vary by hauler and disposal site. See what cannot go in a dumpster for the full list before you load anything questionable. Calling ahead saves a rejected load and a second trip.
Day, week and month terms are all common, and pricing scales with length rather than dropping per day the longer you keep it. A month-long rental for an active remodel typically runs 91 to 500 dollars depending on size and swap frequency. Match the term to your actual project timeline.
Usually not, since private property placement generally sits outside right-of-way rules. Street or sidewalk placement is the trigger that requires city confirmation. When in doubt, a quick call to the city clarifies it faster than assuming either way, and it beats a fine after the fact.
