How the Index Score ranks this table, and why the distances are approximate
How to read the Tacoma list

On rating alone it is Hank’s Hauling & Junk Removal LLC at 5.0; on weight of evidence it is PACIFIC DISPOSAL, with 2,890 reviews. Eight of the 37 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.

What the Tacoma dumpster market looks like
The 20-yard quotes here run from $190 at Junk Box Dumpster Rental LLC up to $695 at Dumpster Solutions NW. That is $505 of daylight between two companies covering the same town. Companies with a Tacoma address: 5 of 37. The rest cover the town from up to 25 miles away as the crow flies, so ask about the second trip before you book the first. The Tacoma market has 8,044 reviews across it, and 22 companies are sitting at 4.9 or better. PACIFIC DISPOSAL accounts for 2,890 of them.
8 of the 37 publish a price you can read without calling. That is 22% of the Tacoma market, and the quiet ones are not automatically dearer. The middle of the Tacoma market on a 20-yard is $388, 14% under the Washington median of $450. Renting here costs less than the state average. The sizes this town actually stocks are the 15-yard, the 20-yard, and the 30-yard, with 15 of the 37 carrying the 15-yard. Anything outside that is a special order somebody has to drive in.
Ratings here run from 5.0 down to 3.0. Hank’s Hauling & Junk Removal LLC is the one at the top, on 83 reviews rather than a handful. The usual rental window quoted around Tacoma is 4 days. Seattle Right Meow Dumpsters publishes a longer one, which matters if the job slips a week. Included tonnage around Tacoma lands near 1 ton, read off 5 published rates. Going over is where a cheap quote stops being cheap, so weigh the job honestly.
36 of the 37 run a website you can check before calling. The other one takes the job over the phone, which is common for the smaller yards and says nothing about the work: between them the 37 hold 8,044 reviews. The cheapest published anything in Tacoma is a 15-yard at $175, from Seattle Right Meow Dumpsters. That is the floor on this page, not the price of the size you probably need.
What Tacoma houses are made of
96,151 housing units sit in Tacoma, median build year 1967. Stock that age is drywall and engineered lumber, light for its bulk, so volume is the constraint rather than weight. The exception is a roof: shingles are heavy enough to change the answer on their own.
What the weather adds to a Tacoma dumpster bill
Tacoma gets 39.2 inches of rain in a normal year. None of that is your rubbish, but you pay to haul it, because the container is open to the sky and the load is weighed at the tip. 28 days a year drop below freezing, and a wet load that freezes is heavier and harder to tip. Tell the hauler if the container has frozen to the driveway before they send a truck. Ask for a tarp if it is going to stand through a wet week. NOAA 1991–2020 normals, from a station 2.3 miles out.

Common questions about dumpster rental in Tacoma, WA
- How much is a 20 yard dumpster in Tacoma?
- Companies serving Tacoma that publish a price list a median of $388 for a 20-yard, against $450 across Washington. That is a starting price. Weight over the included allowance is billed separately.
- Who has the cheapest dumpster in Tacoma?
- The lowest published starting price among companies serving Tacoma is $175. Booking a size down to reach a lower price usually backfires. A second haul costs more than the size you skipped.
- Who is the best dumpster rental company in Tacoma?
- Seattle Right Meow Dumpsters ranks first in Tacoma on our Index Score, at 95 out of 100 on review volume, rating, published pricing and reachability, weighted. Hank’s Hauling & Junk Removal LLC holds the highest Google rating among companies serving Tacoma, at 5.0 across 83 reviews. PACIFIC DISPOSAL has the most reviews, 2,890 at 4.9. The right yard depends on the job. A weekend cleanout and a six-week build rarely want the same company.
- Are there many dumpster companies in Tacoma?
- We list 37 independently owned companies serving Tacoma, 5 of them based in town. National carriers and brokers are not included.
- What size dumpsters are available in Tacoma?
- Companies serving Tacoma list 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 22, 25, 30, 40 yard containers. The 20-yard covers the middle of the range. Go down to a 10 for heavy material, up to a 30 or 40 when the job produces bulk instead of weight.
- Is dumpster rental expensive in Tacoma?
- The median published 20-yard price in Tacoma is $388, 14% below the $450 median across Washington. Most of the difference between towns is haul distance to the landfill and what that landfill charges per ton, so a company one town over can quote noticeably less for the same container.
- How much is a 10-yard dumpster in Tacoma?
- In Tacoma: a 10-yard runs a median of $400 (3 companies), a 15-yard runs a median of $275 (3 companies), a 30-yard runs a median of $475 (3 companies). Ordering one size up costs less than a second haul, and far less than a swap-out halfway through the job.
- How many days do you get with a dumpster in Tacoma?
- The most common listed rental period among Tacoma companies is 4 days, from the 8 that publish one. Extra days are usually billed at a daily rate. Most companies will collect early at no extra charge, so book the shorter period and call when you finish.
- Which dumpster companies are based in Tacoma?
- 5 of the 37 companies we list are based in Tacoma itself; the rest are within 25 miles and typically serve it. Companies a few towns over hold the same permits and often quote the same or less, so there is no reason to rule them out on address alone.
