The container that suits your job depends on the material far more than the address. Here is the full comparison.
| Size | Dimensions (L×W×H) | Holds about | Weight allowance | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | 12′ × 8′ × 3.5′ | 3–4 pickup loads | 1–2 tons | Bathroom remodels, small cleanouts, concrete |
| 15 Yard | 16′ × 8′ × 4′ | 5–6 pickup loads | 2–3 tons | Garage & porch clearouts, single-room renos |
| 20 Yard | 22′ × 8′ × 4.5′ | 7–8 pickup loads | 3–4 tons | Roof tear-offs, kitchen renos, big cleanouts |
| 30 Yard | 22′ × 8′ × 6′ | 10–12 pickup loads | 4–5 tons | New builds, additions, whole-home cleanouts |
Heavy material — concrete, brick, ceramic tile, stucco, wet vegetation — needs a smaller container than the volume suggests. Bulky light material like furniture, mattresses and drywall needs a bigger one. The sizing guide explains why.
How delivery works in Portsmouth
- 1
Call and describe the job
Tell us what you're clearing and where you are. Carla Furtado or a dispatcher will size it with you in about three minutes — no forms, no waiting on an email quote.
- 2
Lock in a flat rate
You get one number that covers delivery, the rental period, pickup, and disposal up to your weight allowance. We tell you the overage rate up front so nothing lands on your invoice later.
- 3
We deliver and protect
Our driver calls ahead, lays boards under the rails on driveways and pavers, and sets the can exactly where you want it — doors facing the work.
- 4
Fill it, we haul it
Load to the fill line, call when you're done, and we pull it. Worth knowing: Massachusetts bans a long list of materials from disposal outright — and the City’s bulky program will not take construction debris at all. Knowing which is which is most of the job.

Dumpster rental in Portsmouth — your questions
⚠️ Which state's rules apply here?
Rhode Island's. Portsmouth is in Newport County, Rhode Island, and the Massachusetts waste bans stop at the state line. It is a genuinely different disposal system and we handle the difference for you.
Is this the Portsmouth in New Hampshire?
No — Portsmouth, Rhode Island, on the north end of Aquidneck Island, about twenty minutes south of the city over the Sakonnet River bridge. The name causes real confusion.
Do you handle coastal storm damage?
Yes. With water on three sides this is exposed ground, and nor'easters do most of the damage. Tell us if material is saturated, because water weight is substantial.
How quickly can you deliver a dumpster to Portsmouth?
Portsmouth is 20 minutes south from our yard on Stevens Street. Same-day delivery is frequently available if you call before mid-morning, and next-day is close to guaranteed. We call ahead before the driver arrives.
What sizes do you bring to Portsmouth?
All four — 10, 15, 20 and 30 yard. Which one suits depends far more on what you are throwing away than on where you live. Describe the material on the phone and we will size it properly.
Nearby communities we also serve
If you are on the edge of Portsmouth or working across a boundary, we very likely cover both sides.
