How to read the Portsmouth list

One of the 9 is based in Portsmouth itself and the other 8 run out to it from nearby towns. On rating alone it is BPT Services at 5.0; on weight of evidence it is Dumpster Today, with 572 reviews. One of the 9 publishes 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 Portsmouth, VA?

Updated regularly. Only 1 of the 9 companies serving Portsmouth publishes a rate, too few to quote a local median, so the figures below are statewide.

Across Virginia, a 20-yard dumpster runs a median of $438, with most quotes between $400 and $475 (18 companies). Portsmouth should land near that unless it's far from a landfill, which pushes prices up. The reliable way to find out is to call two or three companies on the list above and ask each for the base price, the included tonnage, and the per-ton overage.
