A few local details shape what a dumpster costs in Gresham.
The size is the first. A larger container costs more, but one that's too small can mean a second trip and more fees.
Weight is the second. Disposal in the Portland area is billed at the going rate of the facility that takes the load, and heavy debris like roofing, plaster, tile, and soil adds up quickly. Pulling out clean wood, metal, and yard debris can lower the disposal cost.
City rules are the third. Gresham licenses the companies that collect garbage and construction debris in the city, and it sets the rates they may charge for drop boxes on its haulers and rates page. That affects how a container can be supplied here, so we'll check it before you book.
Street placement is the last. A short stay at the curb may not need a permit at all, but longer ones do. The City's Master Fee Schedule lists a short-term encroachment permit at $123 and a long-term one at $306.

Your size comes down to how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for a bathroom remodel, a single room, or a small yard cleanup. It's also the best choice for concrete, brick, or soil, since heavy loads reach the weight limit before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a garage cleanout, new flooring, or a small roof. It adds room without a big jump in cost.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common size in Gresham for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that cover several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles large renovations, additions, new homes, and demolition with mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's meant for commercial projects, large demolition, and big property cleanouts.
Your account manager can help you choose the size that fits your project.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or a job site, you generally won't need a City permit in Gresham. The City's permit services page says a right-of-way permit is needed when you work or encroach in the public right-of-way, including City easements.
Gresham's code does make room for short stays at the curb. A drop box can sit in the parking area of the street, next to the property it serves, for up to seven days in a row and no more than 28 days a year. You're expected to try placing it on the property first.
If your project runs longer, or the container won't fit in the parking lane, you'll need a permit. Applications go through the City's online portal, and common requirements include proof of contractor's insurance and a bond. The fee schedule lists encroachment permits at $123 for short term and $306 for long term.
For right-of-way questions, call Haleigh Reyes at 503-618-2639. The Permit Center is at Gresham City Hall, 1333 NW Eastman Parkway, open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and you can reach it at 503-618-2845. Your account manager can also help you find the right contact before delivery.
Most debris from a remodel or cleanout can go in the container. Oregon's landfill rules and the facility that takes your load set the limits.
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality lists six things that are illegal to dispose of at a landfill or transfer station in Oregon. They are vehicles, large home or industrial appliances, used oil, tires, lead-acid batteries, and computers, monitors, and TVs. DEQ says people who haul their own trash can be held liable for dumping them.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos don't belong in a standard dumpster either. Gresham's code also asks customers to keep chemicals, corrosive materials, medical waste, and hot ashes out of drop boxes.
Most banned items still have a recycling route, often for a fee per item. Pull out appliances, tires, and electronics, or list them when you book.
If you're unsure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Gresham sits inside the Metro regional boundary. Metro's facility rules say all solid waste generated inside that boundary must go to a Metro-authorized, or designated, facility. That list includes transfer stations in the Portland area and several landfills farther away.
Commercial loads from Gresham often go through the privately run transfer station in Troutdale, about five miles northeast, which is open to commercial customers only. From there, waste moves on to a designated landfill. No public source ties a given Gresham load to one landfill, so the route can vary.
The City also regulates who collects waste here. Gresham licenses garbage haulers by service area, and anyone collecting construction debris needs a City license or registration. That means the franchise rule shapes how a container is supplied for your job.
Your account manager will confirm how the City's rules apply to your project and where the load would go before anything is booked. For questions about where to take specific materials, Metro's Recycling Information Center answers at 503-234-3000.
Most dumpster rentals in the area can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery in a 24 to 48 hour window. In Gresham, allow a little extra time so your account manager can confirm the City's hauler rules for your project.
Use these tips to keep things moving:
The Permit Center keeps weekday hours, so if you need a longer street permit, start the application early in the week.

Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
Dumpster rentals in Gresham range from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. Disposal fees, debris weight, and any street permit also affect the total. Your account manager confirms tonnage, overage rates, and the City's hauler rules.
For most projects, a dumpster is the easier and cheaper route. The transfer station closest to Gresham serves commercial customers only, so hauling it yourself means a longer drive. Curbside bulky item pickup handles a few large pieces, but a remodel or full cleanout needs a container.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving room for a mattress, chairs, and boxes. Couches are bulky but light, so you'll fill the space before you get near the weight limit.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Oregon also bans large appliances, used oil, tires, lead-acid batteries, and computers, monitors, and TVs from landfills. Pull those out or ask your account manager how to handle them.
The 10-yard dumpster is our lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. Disposal is billed by weight, though, so a small container of soil or tile can cost more than you'd expect. Keeping the container on your driveway also avoids a street permit.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, since dumpsters are priced by the job. Weight has a bigger effect on the bill than time. Ask your account manager about the included weight and what extra days would cost.
Most household and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, carpet, furniture, packaging, and yard debris. Keep out the six items Oregon bans from landfills and anything hazardous. Your account manager can confirm any item before you load it.
