Testimonials
What our clients say about us:
“When we started our kitchen and bathroom remodel, the debris piled up faster than expected. RRS delivered a clean dumpster the very next morning and placed it exactly where we needed. Pickup was on time, pricing was clear, and there were no surprise fees. The whole process was smooth and stress‑free which made a messy project so much easier to manage.”
James R.
(Homeowner)
“Our warehouse had years of old pallets, bulk cardboard, and scrap materials stacked up. We scheduled one drop‑off with RRS, and they handled everything in a single haul. Their drivers were professional, quick to respond, and worked around our operating hours so we didn’t lose production time. The service was affordable and far more reliable than the larger waste companies we’ve dealt with before.”
Sarah M.
(Operations Manager)
“As a contractor, we’re constantly dealing with demolition debris, concrete, and wood scraps. RRS has been the most dependable roll‑off service we’ve used. Their dumpsters arrive on schedule, the drivers know how to place them without blocking access, and the pickup process is just as smooth. We can count on them to keep our job sites clean and compliant, which saves us both time and money.”
Tyler K.
(General Contractor)
Frequently Asked Questions
How long can I keep a dumpster?
Our standard rental period is 5 calendar days, which works well for most home and jobsite projects. If you need more time, you can extend the rental for $75 per additional day. Just let us know in advance and we’ll adjust the schedule to fit your needs.
What size dumpsters do you offer?
We provide roll‑off boxes from 10 to 40 yards. The 10‑yard box is great for concrete or small clean‑outs, while our 30‑ and 40‑yard options are popular with contractors and warehouses. No matter the job, we’ll help you choose the right size.
What materials can go in the dumpster?
Most common debris is accepted: wood, drywall, cardboard, roofing, metal, dirt, and more. We also recycle concrete, wood, and cardboard at reduced rates to help you save money. If you’re unsure about a specific item, give us a call before loading.
What materials are prohibited?
Due to state regulations, certain items cannot go in our boxes—like asbestos, paint, chemicals, batteries, propane tanks, and appliances with Freon. We’ll provide you with a full list and resources for proper disposal so you stay compliant and avoid fines.
How much weight can I put in a dumpster?
Our maximum load limit is 10 tons. Overloading can create safety issues and extra charges at the landfill, so we recommend discussing your project with our team first. We’ll guide you to the right box size for the debris you expect.
Do you offer same‑day or next‑day delivery?
Yes! When you need a dumpster fast, our local team is ready to deliver. In most cases, we can provide next‑day drop‑off across Portland and surrounding areas. For urgent requests, call (503) 256‑8865 and we’ll do our best to accommodate same‑day service.
Do you recycle the materials collected?
Yes—RRS hauls directly to Environmentally Conscious Recycling (ECR) in NE Portland. Cardboard, wood, concrete, and other materials are separated and recycled, helping you reduce disposal costs and stay eco‑compliant.
How far in advance should I order?
We recommend booking at least 24–48 hours in advance to guarantee the size you want. For larger jobs or multiple dumpsters, it’s best to schedule earlier. Same‑day delivery may be available depending on location and truck routes.
What if I need multiple dumpsters?
No problem! Many contractors and clean‑outs require swap‑outs. We can deliver a fresh box as soon as the first is hauled away, keeping your project on schedule without downtime.
What services does RRS offer?
RRS specializes in roll-off dumpster rentals, hauling, and recycling services across Portland and the surrounding areas.

We’re family-owned, local, and faster to respond. Plus, we beat the big guys on flexibility, pricing, and service reliability.
