A construction dumpster rental in Providence runs from a 10 yard box for a small remodel up to a 40 yard unit for a full teardown, with daily rates in the 51 to 112 dollar range and weekly rates from 426 to 778 dollars depending on size. Most contractors book by the week.
Providence crews use roll-offs for everything from a bathroom gut job to a framed-out new build. Providence Porta Pros delivers roll-off dumpster rental sized for the job, not just whatever is sitting on the lot that day. If you are stripping a kitchen or a single room, a 10 yard dumpster rental usually clears it in one haul. Bigger tear-outs, roofing jobs with a lot of shingle weight, or a whole-house renovation call for a 20 yard dumpster rental or a 30 yard dumpster rental. New construction and commercial strip-outs often need the 40 yard dumpster rental, the largest box we run. Not sure which one fits your pile? The dumpster sizes and dimensions page breaks down footprint and height for each size so you are not guessing at what will fit in the driveway or the loading zone.
Every delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set the box down without dragging it sideways across a curb or a lawn. That is not a Providence rule, that is just how a roll-off truck operates, so tell your dispatcher up front if the site is tight, has overhead wires, or backs onto a narrow alley off a triple-decker street. We serve the city core and run out to North Providence, 4.2 miles northwest, and East Providence, 4.8 miles southeast, on the same trucks.
Cost depends on size and how long you keep the box on site. Daily rentals run 51 to 112 dollars, weekly rentals run 426 to 778 dollars, and monthly rentals start around 91 dollars on the low end for smaller jobs and climb from there. Weekend rates land between 390 and 497 dollars, which matters if you are doing a two-day cleanout and don't want to pay for a full week.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| Weekend | $390 | $440 | $497 |
| Week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| Month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
These are dumpster-only figures; delivery is usually billed separately. For a full walkthrough of what drives the number up or down, see dumpster rental cost and the general construction dumpster rental cost breakdown. If you are weighing a dumpster against a pumping visit for a septic-heavy renovation, septic tank pumping cost covers that side of the job.
A 10 yard construction dumpster handles a bathroom remodel, a small deck tear-off, or a single-room gut job, and it is the size most homeowners rent for a home renovation porta potty job that also needs debris hauled. Bigger demolition, roofing tear-offs, or multi-room renovations need 20 to 30 yards. Full house builds or commercial strip-outs usually take the 40 yard box.
Weight matters more than volume on some loads. Shingles, concrete, and wet drywall fill a box fast on tonnage before it looks full, so check dumpster weight limits before you order the smallest size to save money. Every rental also has a list of banned materials, covered on what cannot go in a dumpster, and paint, solvents, and tires top that list on most jobs.
Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or sidewalk in front of a property, needs confirming with the city before delivery. We are not going to guess at a fee or an ordinance number here, because permit rules and costs vary and we would rather send you to the right desk than print something wrong. Check dumpster permit requirements before you set a delivery date, especially if the box has to sit on a public street rather than a driveway.
If the site also has more than a handful of workers, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets toilet counts by crew size, one facility for 20 workers or fewer and additional fixtures as the crew grows past that. Most general contractors pair a roll-off with a portable toilet rental and, on paint or coating-heavy jobs, a handwashing setup that meets OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) for washing after contact with paints, coatings, herbicides, or insecticides. See construction site services for how dumpsters, toilets, and fencing usually get bundled on one delivery.
Call the company that answers when the job runs long, not just the one with the lowest headline price. Ask what happens if the box needs a mid-week swap, whether delivery is a flat fee or scaled by distance, and whether weight overages get disclosed before pickup, not after. Providence Porta Pros quotes delivery separately from the box rate so there are no surprise line items on the invoice.
We also run temporary fencing, since a lot of Providence job sites need the perimeter secured the same week the dumpster lands. Temporary fence rental and chain link temporary fence both pair well with a roll-off on active demo sites, and crowd control barrier rental covers sidewalk closures near foot traffic. For storage of tools and materials between phases, storage container rental or a mobile office trailer rental keeps the site organized without a second trip to the shop.
Most rentals run by the day, weekend, week, or month, and pricing scales with duration, so a week costs more than a day but less per day than renting daily five times over. Tell us your timeline up front. We will match the box to the schedule instead of defaulting to a month rental you don't need.
Yes, but weight adds up fast with both materials. A 10 yard box is sized by volume, not by how heavy wet drywall or a stack of shingles gets, so check the load against posted dumpster weight limits before you assume it will all fit under the cap.
Often, yes, if you call before mid-morning and the size you need is on the truck that day. Same-day is easier for 10 and 20 yard boxes than for 40 yard units, since fewer of the largest size are in rotation at once.
Paint, solvents, tires, batteries, and most hazardous liquids are off-limits in a standard roll-off. Full details are on what cannot go in a dumpster, and asking before loading beats finding out at pickup when the driver has to refuse the load.
Yes. Besides Providence proper, we run to Pawtucket, 5.1 miles northeast, Johnston, 7.7 miles west, and Cranston, 8.7 miles southwest, on regular routes, plus longer hauls to Attleboro and Taunton in Massachusetts when a job needs it.
