At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Oregon City, Oregon, and the surrounding Clackamas County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. A deep stock of pre-war houses on the bluff and in the McLoughlin neighborhood, steady new construction on the Beavercreek and Holcomb sides of town, and commercial work along Molalla Avenue keep roll-off containers busy here.
Your cost reflects the container size, the weight and type of debris, how long you keep it, and the per-ton charge at the regional transfer station. Below you'll find price ranges, the City permit that applies in the right-of-way, the local collection rules worth knowing before you book, and where Oregon City debris is weighed.

Four factors set an Oregon City quote, and the regional tipping rate is the heaviest of them.
Container size is the starting point. A size up costs less than a second haul, and much less than the overage on a container that leaves over its weight allowance.
Debris weight does the rest of the work. Plaster, brick, and old concrete from a pre-war house fill the weight allowance while the container still looks half empty, which is why small containers suit demolition.
Disposal here is expensive and published. Metro, the elected regional government for the Portland area, charges $176.70 per ton for garbage with a $51 minimum at its Oregon City transfer station. Clean untreated lumber separated from everything else is handled on its own schedule, which is a real saving on a framing job.
Local collection rules are the fourth factor. Oregon City runs solid waste service through an exclusive franchise, and the City's rules reach construction containers as well as household service. Your account manager will confirm how that applies at your address before anything is scheduled.

Pick on volume, then check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries 10 through 40 yard containers across Oregon City.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest and the densest. It is the right container for brick, concrete, and soil, and for a single-room project like a bathroom or a small porch teardown.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the sensible middle for a packed garage, a basement clearing, or plaster and lath from a couple of rooms.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common pick for Oregon City houses. A whole-house cleanout, a kitchen and bath together, or a standard roof tear-off all fit without crowding, and it still sits on a typical bluff-lot driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles gut renovations, additions, and new construction, where mixed debris keeps arriving over weeks.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and belongs on commercial sites and larger demolition jobs.
If two sizes look close, describe the job to your account manager. With a per-ton rate this high, separating the clean wood is often worth more than the size you choose.
On private property, including your own driveway, Oregon City does not require a right-of-way permit for a container.
In the public right-of-way it does, and the City names containers specifically. Its permit page lists temporary obstructions such as moving containers and debris dumpsters among the things that need a Right-of-Way permit. The application goes to the Public Works counter at City Hall on Fir Street, with a site plan and, where it applies, a traffic control plan. Inspections need 72 hours of notice, not counting weekends and holidays, and anything on a Saturday or a holiday needs the City's approval 72 hours ahead.
There is a second layer here that matters more than the permit. Oregon City collects solid waste under an exclusive franchise, and the City's rules give the franchise holder the exclusive right to use the city's public rights-of-way for that service. The City's own definition of solid waste includes demolition and construction debris, and the narrow exception for a construction contractor is capped at small volumes carried in the contractor's own equipment.
That is a genuine local complication, and it is not one you should have to untangle. For the permit itself, phone Oregon City Public Works at 971-204-4601; the counter runs Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For how the City's collection rules apply at your address, let your account manager confirm it with the City before you commit to a date.
Before you book, confirm with the city that a container can be placed for your job at your address. Rules differ from city to city and they change. Your Prime Dumpster account manager will help you check, and will tell you plainly what your options are here.
Most construction and household debris is fine. The limits come from Oregon law and from the regional transfer station that weighs the load.
Oregon runs a real ban list. The state says it is illegal to dispose of these at a solid waste disposal site: discarded or abandoned vehicles, large home or industrial appliances, used oil, tires, lead acid batteries, and computers, monitors, and televisions. The appliance category covers water heaters, refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, washers, and dryers.
Metro's own refusal list is the one that catches roofers. The transfer station cannot accept asbestos-containing material, flat or built-up roofing, burned material or wildfire ash, loads of liquids, petroleum-contaminated soil, radioactive metals, electric vehicle batteries, or vehicles. Metro warns that anything left at the site becomes the customer's responsibility and that asbestos testing and removal costs can run into the thousands.
There is also a sorting point worth money. Clean wood means raw dimensional lumber, pallets, and packing crates, free of paint, stain, or varnish and free of strapping and labels. Plywood, strand board, particle board, laminated wood, and paneling are all billed as garbage instead.
If something on the job is borderline, 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.
Oregon City is unusual in having the region's transfer station inside the city. The Metro South transfer station at 2001 Washington St., Oregon City, OR 97045 is run by Metro, the elected regional government for the Portland area, and it takes garbage, recycling, food waste, and other debris for transport on to landfills and recyclers.
The hours are split. The general public can use it from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day, while commercial account customers get in from 3 a.m. on weekdays and from 8 a.m. at weekends. All Metro facilities close to the public on the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.
Every load is weighed, minimum charges apply to anything up to 240 pounds, and a transaction charge is added on top of the per-ton rate. Because the rate depends on how the material is classified, your account manager can confirm what your load will be billed as, and what the disposal will cost, before the container is delivered.
2001 Washington St., Oregon City, OR 97045
Run by Metro, the regional government for the Portland area. Open to the general public 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, with earlier weekday hours for commercial accounts.
Most Oregon City orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A driveway placement is the quick case. Anything in the right-of-way needs the City permit approved first, so leave extra time.
Five things make delivery day go smoothly:
Holiday timing is the other thing to plan for. Metro closes to the public on four holidays a year, and a container filled the day before one of them waits.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Oregon City, from the McLoughlin and Canemah neighborhoods below the bluff up to the Hilltop, Beavercreek, and Holcomb areas and the commercial stretch along Molalla Avenue, and we run the same routes across the river and north into the rest of Clackamas County. The south end of the Portland metro runs together without a break, so a container ordered here usually joins a run already passing through West Linn, Milwaukie, or Happy Valley.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, check how the City's permit and collection rules apply at your address, and give you a clear number before anything is scheduled.
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.
Oregon City rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day period. Regional disposal is charged by the ton, so load weight moves the number more than anything else. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For anything past a couple of pickup loads, the container wins. The transfer station charges a minimum on every visit plus a transaction fee on top of the per-ton rate, and you unload each time. One container absorbs the whole project in a single pull.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than dense, so you run out of room long before the weight allowance becomes an issue.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Oregon also bans appliances, used oil, tires, lead acid batteries, and computers, monitors, and televisions from disposal sites, and the regional station refuses flat roofing and burned material. Ask your account manager about anything unusual.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. Cheapest to rent is not always cheapest to finish. Plaster, brick, and concrete from an older Oregon City house are heavy, so keeping dense material in its own small load usually costs less overall.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the price covers delivery, pickup, and disposal rather than calendar days. Weight is what moves the bill. Ask your account manager how much tonnage is included and what each extra ton adds before the container arrives.
Nearly all job debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, plaster, lath, flooring, siding, cabinets, doors, windows, furniture, and general cleanout material. Clean concrete and brick are accepted too, and untreated lumber kept separate is billed more cheaply. Check borderline items with your account manager first.
