What customers say

Real reviews from Portland customers

Spotless Dumpster was so easy to work with! They explained everything clearly and answered questions (texts) quickly. They had fewer restrictions than other companies about what they were able to take care of disposing, which made the job of cleaning out an entire house so much easier!

I really appreciated that these guys post their prices on their website, not many in this space do. They were super easy to work with, scheduling and comms were easy and convenient, and they showed up on time and got the job done quickly with no surprises. Would recommend!

Great service! Very reasonable price. Showed up on time, clearly estimated the cost after looking at all of the stuff we needed them to take and quickly loaded it all up. And super nice guys! Definitely will use them again and recommend them highly!

Roofing Projects

A typical Portland roof tear-off generates 3–5 tons of shingles and underlayment. A 20–30 yard dumpster handles most single-layer residential roofs, but go with a 30 if you have a multi-layer strip or architectural shingles. Ask your hauler about weight limits — asphalt shingles are heavy and overweight fees in Oregoncan add $75–$150 per extra ton.

Kitchen Remodels

Kitchen gut-outs produce cabinets, countertops, flooring, and drywall — bulky but relatively light. A 10–15 yard dumpster is usually enough for a standard kitchen demo in Portland. If you're removing tile flooring or concrete countertops, size up to a 20 yard to stay under the weight cap.

Estate Cleanouts

Clearing an entire home in Portlandtypically requires a 20–30 yard dumpster. Furniture, mattresses, clothing, and household items fill space fast. Plan for 2–3 loads if the property has a garage, attic, and basement. Schedule a 7–14 day rental so you can sort donations from trash without rushing.

Garage Cleanouts

Most Portlandgarage cleanouts fit comfortably in a 10–15 yard dumpster. That covers accumulated tools, storage bins, old furniture, and miscellaneous junk. If you're also tearing out shelving, drywall, or a workbench, bump up to a 20 yard to be safe.

Construction Projects

New builds, additions, and major renovations in Portland generate heavy mixed debris — concrete, lumber, drywall, and metal. A 30–40 yard dumpster is standard for active job sites. Most contractors in Oregon keep a roll-off on site for the full project duration and swap it out when full.
