At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Portland, Texas, and the nearby San Patricio County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Portland sits on the north shore of Nueces Bay, across from Corpus Christi. Storm cleanups, roof replacements, garage and move-out cleanouts, and steady home and commercial construction keep containers in demand.
Your cost comes down to the container size, the debris type, the length of the rental, and the disposal fees where the load is dumped. Below, you'll find our price ranges, Portland's own roll-off rule, what Texas landfills won't take, and where local debris ends up.

Here's what moves the price of a dumpster in Portland.
Size is the first factor, and Portland adds a twist. The City's solid waste customer guide says residents may rent a roll-off of 20 cubic yards or smaller from a licensed company that holds a City permit. So most home projects here top out at a 20-yard container.
Weight is the second. Shingles, tile, and wet drywall are heavy and eat into your included tonnage. Couches and boxes are bulky but light.
Disposal fees are the third. Texas landfills set their own prices. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's 2024 statewide report put the average landfill fee at $45.15 per ton. That's a state average, not a local price, but it shows why heavy loads cost more.
City pickup has limits too. The City's bulk collection takes piles up to 12 cubic yards, and it doesn't accept construction materials like drywall or flooring. For a remodel, a dumpster is the simpler choice.
Perfect For:
Weight Limit: Up to 2 tons (4,000 lbs)
Bags of Trash: Approximately 50-70 large trash bags.
Truck Loads: Roughly 3 pickup truck loads.

Pick a size by how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers five sizes, though the City limits household rentals to 20 cubic yards or smaller.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is right for a bathroom remodel, a single-room cleanout, or a small load of broken concrete. It holds a bit less than the City's 12 cubic yard bulk pile, and heavy debris fills its weight limit fast.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a garage cleanout, carpet and tile removal, or a small roof tear-off after a storm.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the largest size most Portland homeowners can rent. It handles whole-house cleanouts and remodels across several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for commercial jobs and new construction where the City's residential limit doesn't apply. Your account manager can confirm whether your project qualifies.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, meant for commercial construction, demolition, and big industrial cleanouts.
Tell your account manager about the job and the property, and they'll match you with a size the City allows.
For a dumpster on private property, like your driveway, you won't usually pull a permit yourself in Portland. The City's rule puts the permit on the company instead. Residents may rent a roll-off of 20 cubic yards or smaller from a licensed disposal company that holds a City permit.
Placing a container in a City street is a separate question. The City doesn't post a container fee or a street placement rule online, so call before anything goes past the curb.
Building and Development Services handles City permits from the City of Portland Annex at 601 Moore Avenue. The office is open Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The City's permits page says most permits other than new construction take two to five business days. Call Building and Development Services at 361-777-4550 with questions.
Your account manager will confirm the permit and the size rule before your delivery, and can help you reach the right City contact.
Most construction and household debris is allowed. The limits come from Texas landfill rules and from the facilities that serve Portland.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's waste acceptance form lists what landfills can't take. That includes lead-acid batteries, used motor oil and oil filters, and whole or scrap tires. Appliances with refrigerant that hasn't been properly removed are banned too, along with bulk liquids and regulated hazardous waste.
Portland's own drop-off turns away tires, batteries, pesticides, wet paint, paint thinner, fluorescent lights, pool chemicals, antifreeze, oils, and fuels. A fridge or freezer needs its refrigerant removed and tagged by a licensed technician first.
Solvents and asbestos also stay out of a standard dumpster. If you're unsure about something, ask your account manager before loading it.
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.
Portland runs its own Citizen Collection Center at 1109 Moore Ave, Portland, TX 78374, behind the Animal Care Services building. The center's page lists hours of Tuesday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. It's free for Portland residents with proof of address and takes household trash, furniture, appliances, and brush. The phone number is 361-777-4601.
Items the center refuses go to the J.C. Elliott Transfer Station, at 7001 Ayers St, Corpus Christi, TX 78415, about 10 miles away. It's run by the City of Corpus Christi and open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Portland lists its number as 361-857-1631, and fees apply for Portland residents. The Corpus Christi landfill page says it takes household construction debris but not rock, concrete, or brick.
Roll-off loads from Portland go to a permitted facility that accepts the material in your container. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and explain any fees before delivery.
1109 Moore Ave, Portland, TX 78374
Free for Portland residents; Tuesday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m.
7001 Ayers St, Corpus Christi, TX 78415
City of Corpus Christi site, open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; fees apply.
Most Portland dumpster rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking early gives you time to confirm the size rule and prepare the drop spot.
Keep these tips in mind:
The J.C. Elliott Transfer Station is closed on Sundays, and Portland's collection center is closed Sundays and Mondays. Plan weekend cleanups with that in mind.

Our Portland prices run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard dumpster to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. Most homes here are limited to 20 yards or less. Debris weight and landfill fees shape the final price, and your account manager confirms tonnage when you book.
For household junk and brush, Portland's Citizen Collection Center is free for residents, so hauling it yourself can save money. For remodel debris, a dumpster usually wins, since the center doesn't take construction materials. One container saves you many trips across the bay.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a mattress, a table, chairs, and a pile of boxes. Furniture is light for its size, so you'll fill the space before you get near the weight limit.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, oil, batteries, tires, and asbestos. Texas landfills also refuse appliances with refrigerant that hasn't been removed. Portland's collection center refuses pool chemicals and fluorescent lights too. Ask your account manager about anything you're unsure of.
The 10-yard dumpster is our lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. Your debris still decides the final bill. A small container full of shingles or tile can go over its weight limit fast, so keep heavy material in its own load when you can.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as a five-day rental. We price by the job, not by the day, and weight affects the bill more than the number of days. Ask your account manager what's included and what extra days or extra tons would cost.
Most construction and household debris is allowed. That includes lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, storm debris, and general junk. Concrete and brick can go too, but they're heavy, and some local sites won't take them. Your account manager can confirm any item before you load it.
