A 40ft storage container gives you roughly double the space of a 20-foot box, and it rents on a monthly cycle here in Yakima for $100 to $250 depending on term and site access. Most contractors and property managers pair it with construction site services or a roll-off dumpster rental for a full job-site setup.
Pricing runs on a monthly basis, and the table below shows where 40ft units typically land next to the 20-foot option. If you need a fast comparison before requesting a storage container rental, start here.
| unit | duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| storage | month | 100 | 125 | 250 |
That range covers both the 20ft storage container and the 40-foot version, since length affects placement more than the monthly rate itself. Delivery adds a separate charge, and that fee scales with distance from Yakima. If your job sits out past Selah, about 7.5 miles north, or Terrace Heights, 6.7 miles east, factor that mileage into your quote. For a broader cost breakdown across container sizes, see storage container rental cost.
Placement depends on ground stability and clearance, not just square footage. A 40-foot unit needs a flat, firm surface, and the same stability standard used for accessible routes, ADA Standards section 302.1, requires stable, firm, slip-resistant ground, which is a reasonable bar for any heavy container placement. If you are staging it alongside a roll-off dumpster rental, remember a roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and your 40-foot container will need comparable room to maneuver during drop-off.
Yakima property lines and easements vary by lot, so confirm placement setbacks with the city before delivery. If the container sits anywhere near a public right of way, that placement needs confirming with the city directly, since we cannot state a citywide rule here. Crews running a bigger footprint often add temporary fence rental around the storage area, and pair it with chain link temporary fence panels to keep the yard secured overnight. A mobile office trailer rental sits well next to a 40ft box if you need both storage and a job-site office in one spot.
Yes, and delivery reach covers the towns around Yakima along with longer hauls for regional contractors. Local drops go out to Ahtanum, 5.4 miles southwest, Summitview, 5.9 miles west, and Gleed, 6.5 miles northwest, all inside a short delivery window. Full service area coverage extends further for larger projects.
For contractors managing multi-state jobs, a 40 foot storage container rental near California or a 40 foot storage container rental near Texas usually means coordinating with a regional partner network rather than a single truck route from Yakima. If your project spans state lines, ask about lead time when you request a quote, since long-haul delivery windows run longer than local ones. For jobs staying local, most Yakima deliveries fall within the standard delivery fee band, and the same crew that drops your container can also handle a portable restroom rental or temporary power pole setup on the same trip.
Most renters keep units for a full month minimum, since pricing is structured on a monthly cycle. Extended rentals across several months are common on longer builds. Ask about your specific timeline when you request a quote, since term length affects total cost.
Permit rules depend on placement and duration, and city requirements vary by lot and zoning. Confirm with Yakima's permitting department before delivery, especially if the container sits near a sidewalk or street. See dumpster permit requirements for a related permit process.
A 40-foot box roughly doubles the capacity of a 20ft storage container, making it suited to full households, large equipment loads, or overflow inventory. It is not sized for perishable or hazardous storage.
Yes. Many Yakima job sites pair storage with a temporary fence rental, a light tower rental, and a portable toilet rental to cover security, lighting, and crew needs in one delivery.
