At Prime Dumpster, we arrange roll-off dumpster rentals across Tualatin, Oregon, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. The city runs from the Nyberg Road and Bridgeport retail corridor through the Tualatin industrial district to the residential streets off Boones Ferry, so the work here spans warehouse fit-outs, commercial construction, and 1970s and 1980s home renovation in roughly equal measure.
Tualatin is unusual in two ways that matter before you book. It publishes a genuine street permit for storing an object on a public street, with a hard time limit. And it sits inside Metro, the elected regional government that sets the published tip fee for every load leaving the city.

Tualatin is one of the few places where you can see exactly what the disposal half of your bill is built on, because Metro publishes its own gate pricing.
Container size sets the base figure. Weight sets the rest of it, and here the weight is priced openly: Metro charges $176.70 per ton for garbage with a $51 minimum, and it resets those figures every year. Minimum charges apply to loads up to 240 pounds, and anything heavier is charged by proportion of the per-ton rate.
Sorting is where Tualatin projects actually save. On the same Metro rate table, clean wood is charged at $97.13 per ton against the garbage rate, so raw dimensional lumber, pallets, and packing crates kept in a load of their own cost barely half as much to process. Clean yard debris is lower again. Engineered wood, meaning plywood, oriented strand board, particle board, laminate, and paneling, is charged as garbage, so the saving only works if the separation is real.
Two surcharges are worth knowing about. An uncovered load is charged an extra $25 per ton on Metro's own published terms, and Metro notes it can also draw a littering fine. Loads weighed at the automated commercial scales carry a smaller transaction fee than loads weighed at the staffed public scales, which is one of several reasons a container beats a run of pickup trips. Your Tualatin account manager works all of that into one clear, upfront number before anything is scheduled.

Pick on volume, check the weight, then check where it will sit.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the shortest container in the range and the one to choose for concrete, brick, tile, and soil, since dense material reaches its weight allowance early.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage clearing, a bathroom or kitchen tear-out, or a small roof section without needing much extra length.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual choice for a whole-house cleanout or a remodel over several rooms. It wants a longer straight approach, which most Tualatin driveways from the 1970s onward can give it.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits a large renovation, an addition, or mixed demolition debris, and it is the common size on the city's commercial and multifamily work.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest in the range and is the standard container for the warehouse and distribution buildings in the Tualatin industrial area, where volume rather than density is the constraint.
One Tualatin specific worth planning around: Metro will not accept flat or built-up roofing at its transfer stations at all. A commercial re-roof here therefore needs its roofing routed separately from the rest of the debris, and that is a conversation to have with your account manager before the tear-off starts rather than after.
On private property a container needs no City permit. A driveway, a yard, a parking lot, or a fenced job site is yours to use, provided the container does not block a sidewalk, a fire lane, or anyone else's access.
A Tualatin street is different, and the City publishes a real route for it. The Storage on the Street Permit is applied for online through the Building Division, Code Enforcement reviews it against state and local rules, fees are paid before issue, and the approved permit is then good for 21 days. It can be renewed once for a further 21 days where the applicant shows a need for more time, which puts the published ceiling at 42 days on the street.
Three conditions in that permit decide where a container can actually go. The object must not sit within 50 feet of an intersection or within 10 feet of a fire hydrant, and it must not sit in a parking prohibited area or block mailboxes, sidewalks, or utilities. It must not create a visual obstruction for traffic or pedestrians. And the permit holder is responsible for warning devices, meaning cones or obvious markers placed around the object, which have to stay in place continuously for as long as the object is on the street.
The permit itself has to be posted and visible on the stored item at all times, so it travels with the container rather than staying in a folder.
The City's published examples of what this permit covers are a vehicle, a pod, and an item, and the guidelines speak of all objects. Whether it is the right instrument for your particular placement is a question for the City, and your account manager confirms it with the Building Division at 18880 SW Martinazzi Avenue on 503-692-2000 before a delivery date is fixed. Tualatin also has a separate right of way permit through Engineering for work in the street itself.
Lumber, drywall, roofing shingles, flooring, cabinets, doors, fixtures, furniture, and general cleanout debris are all fine in a roll-off container.
Oregon publishes no single statewide banned-materials table, so the real limits here come from Metro, and Metro's refusal list is specific. It will not take asbestos-containing material, burned material or wildfire ash, flat or built-up roofing, loads of liquids, petroleum-contaminated soil, radioactive metals, electric vehicle batteries, or vehicles. Metro adds a warning with teeth: customers are responsible for items left at its stations and can be fined or charged the cost of asbestos testing and removal, with those costs able to exceed $3,000.
Household hazardous material stays out as a matter of course. Paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, antifreeze, pool chemicals, pesticides, batteries, and fluorescent lamps all need a hazardous waste route rather than a container, and Metro runs separate hazardous waste hours for exactly that.
Asbestos deserves the extra sentence. Tualatin has a large stock of 1970s and 1980s housing and commercial building, which is late enough that asbestos is less common than in older cities but early enough that it still appears in floor tile, adhesive, and pipe lagging. A survey before demolition is cheaper than a refused load and an asbestos testing bill.
Anything out of the ordinary is worth naming at booking, and the separate route for it is arranged beside the container.

Tualatin has no landfill or transfer station inside the city, and it straddles two counties, Clackamas and Washington, so the authority that matters here is neither of them. It is Metro, the elected regional government for the greater Portland area.
Material from Tualatin goes to a Metro transfer station for transport onward to landfills and recyclers. The nearer of the two is Metro South, at 2001 Washington St. in Oregon City, which is open to the general public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and to commercial account customers from 3 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. Metro Central, at 6161 NW 61st Ave. in Portland, is the other. Metro answers questions on either at 503-234-3000.
Those early commercial hours are the practical reason a container often clears a site faster than self-hauling can. A hauler with a Metro account can tip from 3 a.m., while a public customer with a pickup truck cannot arrive before 8 a.m. and then queues with everyone else.
Metro also sets what the load costs to process, and it publishes the whole table rather than quoting on the day. Separated clean wood, clean yard debris, and recyclables each have their own lower rate, and recycling a sorted load earns a small rebate. That is why the sizing conversation and the sorting conversation are really the same conversation.
One thing Tualatin does not do is collect its own garbage. The City says plainly that it does not provide those services, and curbside collection for homes and businesses runs under a single City franchise agreement held by a private company. Tualatin businesses are separately required by ordinance to keep recycling separated for collection. Your Prime Dumpster account manager confirms which destination your material is going to and how the sorting should be set up before collection is scheduled.
Most Portland metro rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with a 24 to 48 hour delivery window. Tualatin is well served by the I-5 and 99W corridors, so access is rarely the constraint.
A few things keep a Tualatin delivery on track:
Allow for the permit if the container is going on the street. Code Enforcement reviews the application before the permit issues, so that step sits ahead of the delivery date rather than alongside it.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges container service throughout Tualatin. That covers the Tualatin industrial district, the Nyberg and Bridgeport corridor, Byrom, Hazelbrook, Ibach, and the neighborhoods off Boones Ferry and Martinazzi, on both the Washington County and the Clackamas County side of the city.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will work out whether the container can sit on private ground or needs the City permit, set the sorting up to suit the Metro rates, and give you a clear number on the call.
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.
Tualatin rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day rental. The Metro tip rate on your debris class moves the final figure, and a street placement adds a City permit. Your account manager confirms the tonnage allowance and the overage rate before delivery day.
Almost always the rental. A public customer at a Metro station pays a larger per-load transaction fee than a commercial account, cannot use the early morning hours, and needs several trips for what one container holds. One booking, one collection, and the sorting handled once.
Yes. Allow about a fifth of a 10-yard container for a three-seat couch, which still leaves room for a mattress, a dresser and boxes. Broken furniture counts as garbage at the Metro gate, and since it is light for its size you will fill the container before reaching the weight allowance.
No hazardous material, no liquids, no paint or solvents, no fuel, no motor oil or antifreeze, no batteries, no asbestos. Metro turns away burned material, petroleum-contaminated soil, electric vehicle batteries and flat roofing outright. Name any of them at booking and a route is arranged.
The 10-yard container opens at $399 to $499, the lowest in the range. The cheapest result still depends on the debris, because dense material can pass the weight allowance in a small container, and because a load sorted into clean wood is charged well under the garbage rate at the Metro gate.
Much the same, because the container is priced around the job and not by the calendar. In Tualatin the Metro rate on your debris class is what really moves the figure, so what is in the load matters far more than how long you keep it. Confirm the tonnage allowance with your account manager.
Most construction and household debris: lumber, drywall, shingle roofing, flooring, cabinets, doors, furniture, cardboard, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted as well, and clean wood costs less to process when it is kept out of the mixed load.
