Torrance Porta Pros delivers 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard roll-off dumpsters, with a 20 yard box running $91 to $500 for a month depending on your terms. Most driveway cleanouts and roofing jobs only need a 20 yarder. Bigger construction teardowns need the 40, and if you're tackling a full construction dumpster rental project you may want the 40 yard dumpster rental instead.
A 10 yard box handles a small bathroom gut or a garage cleanout. A 20 yard dumpster is the workhorse for roof tear-offs, flooring jobs and mid-size cleanouts, and it's the one Torrance Porta Pros gets asked for most. A 30 yard fits new home construction debris or a full interior demo, and pairs well with a storage container rental if the job also needs secure on-site storage. A 40 yard is for commercial teardowns and large-scale construction waste. If you're not sure, our dumpster sizes and dimensions page breaks down the footprint of each box so you can check it against your driveway or lot before you commit. For a project close to a specific budget, the dumpster rental cost page walks through what drives price up or down. Renting the wrong size costs you twice, once for the box and again for the extra pickup a size upgrade requires mid-job. When Torrance homeowners call about a kitchen remodel, we usually steer them to a 20 yard roll-off dumpster rental unless they're pulling cabinets, flooring and drywall all at once, in which case the 30 makes more sense.
A 20 yard dumpster runs $51 to $112 for a single day, $426 to $778 for a full week, and $91 to $500 across a month, based on how long you keep it and what's inside. Daily rentals suit a one-day cleanout, similar in logic to how a porta potty rental per day works for short jobs. Weekly and monthly rates make more sense for active construction. The table below shows where each duration lands.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| Week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| Month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Delivery is billed separately and ranges from $100 to $500 for a single day, or $120 to $420 if the box sits for a month, much like the delivery logic covered on monthly porta potty rental. For the full breakdown by size, see 20 yard dumpster rental or compare it against the 10 yard dumpster rental and 30 yard dumpster rental options. Homeowners doing a weekend project sometimes ask about a shorter rental; that's usually still billed at the daily or weekly rate shown above, not a separate weekend price, since roll-off pricing runs on day, week and month terms.
Paint, tires, batteries, refrigerants, asbestos and most liquids can't go in a standard roll-off, and mixing them in can get your whole load rejected at the transfer station. Construction debris, furniture, drywall and general household junk are all fine, the same materials you'd expect on a typical home renovation porta potty job site. The full prohibited list, including what counts as hazardous under local rules, lives on what cannot go in a dumpster. Torrance job sites doing painting or coating work also need to think about washing facilities: OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing stations wherever workers are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, which is a different requirement from the toilet on site. If your project touches those materials, pair your dumpster order with a handwashing station rental so the crew stays compliant. Grease, food waste and liquid sludge don't belong in a roll-off either, and liquid waste in general is better handled through septic pumping service or a holding tank rental. Restaurants and commercial kitchens in Torrance dealing with that kind of waste should look at grease trap pumping instead, since a grease interceptor is typically pumped once fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth.
Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or curb strip rather than your own driveway, needs confirming with the City of Torrance before delivery. If the box sits entirely on private property, a driveway or a lot, permitting usually isn't a concern. But if there's no room on-site and the dumpster has to sit at the curb, check with the city first. We cover what to ask and how to word the request on dumpster permit requirements, and our general guide to porta potty permit requirements covers the same right-of-way question for portable restrooms if you're renting both for a job site. Getting this wrong can mean a fine or a forced relocation mid-project, so it's worth the five-minute call before the truck shows up, the same due diligence we recommend on our porta potty rental checklist.
Every roll-off has a weight limit tied to its size, and going over it means an overage charge on top of your rental. Heavy debris like concrete, dirt, roofing shingles and tile fills the weight limit long before it fills the box, so those materials often need a smaller dumpster than you'd guess by volume alone. Mixed household junk or bulky but light debris, like furniture and cardboard, tends to hit the volume limit first. The specific weight allowances for each size, along with what typically triggers an overage fee, are laid out on dumpster weight limits. If you're not sure how heavy your load will run, call before delivery, the same way you'd check unit counts on how many porta potties do i need before ordering restrooms. We'd rather size you up front than charge you for going over after the truck weighs in.
A roll-off delivery truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind where the box will sit, so a short driveway or a tight alley can rule out certain placements before the truck even shows up. Flat, stable ground matters too, similar to the footing concerns covered in porta potty in winter when frost or mud softens the ground. Torrance driveways with a slope or soft shoulder can cause the box to settle unevenly once loaded. If you're clearing space for a delivery, our porta potty placement guide covers the same ground-clearance logic that applies to dumpster drop points, even though it's written for toilets. Construction sites juggling a dumpster, a restroom trailer and a fence line all at once should look at construction site services for how the pieces fit together on one lot. If your project is in Redondo Beach, 4.2 miles northwest of Torrance, or Lomita, 4.8 miles southeast, the same clearance rule applies; distance doesn't change the truck's turning radius.
Yes, Torrance Porta Pros delivers roll-off dumpsters across Torrance and into the nearby cities we already serve, including Redondo Beach, Lawndale and Hermosa Beach. Lawndale sits about 4.5 miles north of Torrance, and Hermosa Beach is roughly 5.5 miles northwest, both well within normal delivery range. If your job is further out, in Manhattan Beach at 8.0 miles northwest or El Segundo at 8.6 miles northwest, we still cover it; the delivery fee reflects distance and scheduling more than anything else. Rancho Palos Verdes, at 12.3 miles south, is our longest regular run. Check service areas for the full list of cities we reach, or go straight to porta potty rental in Torrance if you need toilets alongside your dumpster, and see porta potty rental in Redondo Beach if that job is closer to the coast. We also serve Palos Verdes Estates, about 7.2 miles southwest of Torrance, for both dumpster and restroom orders on the same job, and porta potty rental in Lawndale covers that stretch to the north.
Yes, and most construction and renovation jobs order both at once since a crew needs somewhere to put waste and somewhere to use the bathroom. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet counts for construction sites: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, and additional fixtures as the crew grows past that. Pairing a dumpster with a standard porta potty rental or a portable restroom rental on the same delivery run usually saves a trip charge. Home renovation crews doing a kitchen or bathroom gut often combine a 20 yard box with a single unit; see home renovation porta potty for that specific setup. Bigger commercial builds tend to need a restroom trailer rental instead of a standard unit, especially once crew size climbs. If you're scoping out a full job site plan, from fencing to lighting to waste, construction site services covers how those pieces get ordered together, and temporary fence rental is worth adding if the site needs to be secured overnight, with chain link temporary fence as the most common option contractors choose.
Most rentals run by the day, week or month, and pricing scales with each. A weekend cleanout typically books at the daily rate. Extended construction jobs usually switch to a monthly rate once the project runs past a couple of weeks, since it works out cheaper per day than repeated short-term bookings.
A 20 yard box suits most residential cleanouts, roofing jobs and mid-size remodels. A 30 yard holds roughly half again as much and fits full home construction debris or a large interior demo. Check dumpster sizes and dimensions before choosing, since footprint matters as much as capacity, and the porta john rental page has similar footprint notes if you're placing both units on the same lot.
You load it yourself. Torrance Porta Pros drops the box at your site and picks it up when you're done or when the rental period ends, whichever comes first. Loading has to stay within the fill line and posted weight limit for the size you rented.
Both. Homeowners doing a garage cleanout, roof replacement or renovation rent the same 10 and 20 yard boxes that contractors use on job sites. The only real difference is duration. Residential jobs often book by the day or week; contractors tend to book monthly.
You'll be charged an overage fee based on how much you exceeded the rated limit for your box size. This gets billed after pickup once the load is weighed. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt and roofing tile are the most common cause, so ask us before loading if you're unsure.
No, placement entirely on private property, like a driveway or a lot, generally doesn't need a permit. It's only when the box sits in the street or public right of way that you need to confirm with the city first. See dumpster permit requirements for how to check.
Yes, day rentals are available and priced separately from week and month terms. A single day works well for a quick garage or attic cleanout where you're loading everything in one push rather than filling the box gradually over several days.
