How Much Does a 40 Yard Dumpster Cost in Tempe?
Pricing for a 40 yard roll-off dumpster rental depends on rental length and what you are hauling. Most Tempe customers booking through dumpster rental cost in Tempe compare day rates against week-long jobs before deciding. Check the table below, then confirm your total against roll-off dumpster rental options if a smaller bin might work instead.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Delivery is usually a separate line item, and weekly delivery fees in the Tempe market run $50 to $150 depending on distance and access. If your site is tight on room, look at dumpster sizes and dimensions before you commit, since a 40 yard unit needs more clearance than a 20 or 30 yard box.
What Are the Dimensions of a 40 Yard Dumpster?
These 40-yard dumpster dimensions run about 22 feet by 8 feet by 8 feet, the largest standard size most Tempe haulers stock, and the roll off dumpster 40 yard box is the one to ask for by name when you call. That footprint means the truck needs a straight approach of about 60 feet to set it down without dragging the frame across a curb or landscaping. Tempe driveways and alley access vary block to block, so we walk the site first if there is any doubt.
This size is common on jobs bigger than a garage cleanout: full roof tear-offs, whole-house renovations, or clearing out a warehouse near Tempe before a lease turnover. If your project is smaller, a 10 yard dumpster rental or 20 yard dumpster rental often costs less and still gets the job done. For mid-size demolition or roofing loads, 30 yard dumpster rental sits between the two. Weight matters too. Heavy debris like concrete or shingles fills the weight limit long before the box looks full, so check dumpster weight limits before you load it.
Do I Need a Permit for a 40 Yard Dumpster in Tempe?
Placement in the public right of way, like a street or sidewalk in front of the property, needs confirming with the City of Tempe before delivery. If the dumpster sits entirely on a private driveway or lot, permitting is usually simpler, but rules differ by parcel and we cannot state a blanket answer here. Review dumpster permit requirements for what to check with the city, and if you are running a larger job with fencing or portable restrooms on site, construction site services covers the full setup.
Not everything can go in the box either. Paint, batteries, tires and certain electronics are commonly excluded from roll-off loads, and what cannot go in a dumpster breaks down what to keep out before the truck arrives. Getting this wrong can mean a rejected load at the transfer station, which costs you a second trip.
How long can I keep a 40 yard dumpster?
Most rentals run by the day, week or month, with weekly rates built for jobs lasting several days to a week. Longer renovation jobs in Tempe often book monthly to avoid repeated swap fees. Confirm your timeline before delivery since extending mid-rental can add cost.
Is a 40 yard dumpster too big for a home project?
Sometimes. A full house cleanout or major remodel fills one fast, but a single-room renovation usually does not need 22 feet of container. Compare against 20 yard dumpster rental or 10 yard dumpster rental sizing first.
Can I place the dumpster on the street in Tempe?
Only after confirming placement with the City of Tempe, since street and right-of-way rules apply and are not something we can guess at. Driveway placement is typically more straightforward. See dumpster permit requirements for details on what to ask.
What cannot go in a 40 yard dumpster?
Paint cans, tires, batteries, certain appliances and hazardous chemicals are commonly restricted. Loading them anyway risks a rejected load at disposal. Full detail is on what cannot go in a dumpster.
How far in advance should I book?
Book as soon as you have a delivery date, especially for weekend drops. Tempe Porta Pros can often accommodate short notice, but larger jobs near Guadalupe, 3.5 miles southwest, or Paradise Valley, 15.8 miles north, book easier with lead time through request a quote.
