How this ranking works. Ordered by Index Score, out of 100: review volume 35, rating 25, published pricing 25, contactability 15. Publishing your rates moves you up, and that is the only way up. We don't sell placement. Distances are from each company's listed address, and service areas aren't confirmed with owners, so call to check they cover you. Full method.
How to read the Portland list
Two of the 11 are based in Portland itself and the other 9 run out to it from nearby towns. Pine State Hauling and Junk Removal is both the best-rated and the most-reviewed of them, at 5.0 across 610 Google reviews. Three of the 11 publish a rate on their own site; the rest quote by phone. That split is typical, and it is why the medians here are worth having.
How much does a dumpster cost in Portland, ME?
No company serving Portland publishes rates on its website, so we have no price data for this town yet. Call two or three companies from the list above and ask each for the base price, the included tonnage, the per-ton overage, and the rental period. Those four numbers determine the bill.
