A 20 yard roll-off is the size Saint Paul Porta Pros books most, handling about 4 to 6 pickup truck loads of mixed debris, and it typically rents in the 91 to 500 dollar month range depending on term and hauling distance. Ten, thirty and forty yard boxes are also available for smaller cleanouts or full teardown jobs, and if your project also needs a porta john rental on site, that pairing is common.
Day rates for a roll-off run from 51 to 112 dollars, weekly rentals land between 426 and 778 dollars, and a full month typically falls between 91 and 500 dollars depending on size and how long you keep the box. Weekend rentals, common for garage cleanouts around Saint Paul, run 390 to 497 dollars. Most quotes also carry a delivery fee, generally 100 to 500 dollars for a single-day drop, or 50 to 150 dollars if it is bundled into a weekly term, similar in structure to how a porta potty rental per day quote gets built out. For exact numbers by size, check dumpster rental cost and compare against roll-off dumpster rental availability before you commit to a date. If you are only doing a bathroom tear-out or a small deck demo, the 10 yard dumpster rental page breaks down whether that size even makes sense for your load.

Most Saint Paul homeowners land on a 10 or 20 yard box; contractors doing full renovations usually need 30 or 40. A 10 yard roll off dumpster suits a single-room cleanout, old carpet, or a small fence teardown. Step up to a 20 yard dumpster rental for a garage purge, roof tear-off on a mid-size home, or a basement remodel. A 30 yard dumpster rental handles new construction debris, large additions, or whole-house flooring replacement. The 40 yard dumpster rental is built for commercial demolition and major renovation projects generating heavy volume over several weeks. Not sure which one fits your pile? The dumpster sizes and dimensions page lays out length, width and height for each box side by side, and it is worth five minutes before you call. Guessing small costs more in the end, since swapping a box mid-job means a second delivery fee, and guessing big just wastes yard space you did not need to give up, the same reasoning that applies when picking between a standard porta potty rental and a deluxe flushable porta potty for a jobsite crew.
Every roll-off has a weight cap built into the rental agreement, and going over it triggers an overage charge billed per ton at the yard's disposal rate. Heavy materials like shingles, concrete, dirt and brick fill the weight limit long before they fill the box visually, so a "half-full" 20 yard dumpster can already be at its ceiling. This trips up more first-time renters in Saint Paul than any other part of the rental. The dumpster weight limits page walks through typical caps by size and what the overage math looks like, so you are not surprised on pickup day. If your project is mostly roofing tear-off or masonry debris, mention that up front when you book, because Saint Paul Porta Pros can steer you toward a size that matches the weight, not just the volume, of what you are hauling, and the same crew can quote a light tower rental or temporary power pole if the job runs past daylight hours.
Paint, tires, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, refrigerants, and anything flammable or hazardous cannot go in a standard roll-off, and most yards also reject wet paint cans and full propane tanks outright. Electronics and appliances containing refrigerant usually need separate handling too. Loading prohibited items is not a minor inconvenience; it can hold up the entire container at the disposal facility and add fees back to your invoice. The full breakdown, including what counts as hazardous versus what is just heavy, lives on what cannot go in a dumpster. If you are clearing out a garage full of old cans of stain and thinner along with your regular debris, sort that pile separately before the box arrives. It saves a phone call later and keeps your project moving instead of stuck waiting on a rejected load, the same way sorting ahead helps when you are also booking septic pumping service or grease trap pumping for the same site visit.
Permit rules depend on where the container sits, and placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. If the dumpster sits entirely on a driveway or private lot, permitting is typically simpler than if it needs to sit on the street. Because this varies by exact location and by project type, do not assume; check with the city ahead of your delivery date, and the porta potty placement guide covers similar clearance thinking for toilet units. The dumpster permit requirements page covers what documentation to have ready and when to start that conversation, and porta potty permit requirements is worth a look too if you are pairing a dumpster with a portable toilet on a jobsite. Saint Paul Porta Pros can tell you what clearance and placement we need on our end regardless of permit status, since a roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set the box down safely.
Rental terms run from a single day up to a full month, and the price table above scales accordingly: a day rental starts at 51 dollars, a week runs 426 to 778 dollars, and a month falls between 91 and 500 dollars. Weekend rates, useful for a Saturday cleanout that wraps by Monday morning, run 390 to 497 dollars. Longer construction jobs in Saint Paul often start with a weekly or monthly term and extend as needed, since swapping to a longer term mid-rental is usually simpler than re-booking from scratch. If your timeline is uncertain, ask about extending rather than committing to the longest term up front, the same flexible approach covered on monthly porta potty rental for longer jobs. For active construction sites needing dumpsters alongside toilets and fencing for the full build cycle, construction dumpster rental and construction site services cover the combined setup.
Saint Paul Porta Pros delivers roll-off dumpsters across Saint Paul and into nearby communities, including West St. Paul 4.3 miles south, Maplewood 8.8 miles northeast, and Roseville 9.0 miles northwest. Before booking, know your project size, confirm your placement location has clearance, and flag any heavy materials like concrete or shingles so we can recommend the right box. Confirm your driveway or street access can handle a delivery truck, since tight urban lots in older Saint Paul neighborhoods sometimes need a different approach than a suburban driveway, similar to the access questions covered on porta potty rental in Saint Paul. The service areas page lists every community we reach, and if your address falls closer to South St. Paul, 8.1 miles southeast, or Eagan, 11.4 miles south, delivery timing may shift slightly. Waste management roll off dumpster rental through a local operator, rather than a national chain, usually means faster scheduling and someone who actually answers when your timeline changes.
Yes, and most construction and renovation projects in Saint Paul end up needing more than one service on site at once. Pairing a roll-off with a portable toilet is standard on active jobsites; OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires at least one toilet facility for crews of 20 or fewer, scaling up from there. If your crew works with paints, coatings or solvents, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that specific exposure, which is different from general toilet counts. A handwashing station rental or portable sink rental covers that requirement cleanly. Larger sites also often need temporary fence rental to secure the dumpster and materials overnight, plus a storage container rental for tools. If you are renovating a home, the home renovation porta potty page shows how dumpster and toilet rentals typically get scheduled together for a single delivery window, and the standard porta potty rental page has details on the toilet unit itself, and the ADA accessible porta potty page covers accessible options for the same jobsite, while crowd control barrier rental rounds out setup for busier sites.
