Storage container rental in Yakima runs by size and length of stay, not by a flat rate. A 20ft storage container typically books at $100 to $250 a month depending on delivery distance and site access, while a 40ft storage container unit sits toward the higher end of that band. Yakima Porta Pros delivers both sizes across the valley, and also handles storage container rental cost planning for construction site services.
Monthly pricing is the standard for storage container rental in Yakima, and it lands between $100 and $250 depending on size, term length and drop location. Most renters comparing a rental storage container against a mobile office trailer rental find the container cheaper per month once you factor in setup. Delivery is billed separately and depends on distance from our yard and how much clearance the truck needs on site.

Check the full breakdown on our storage container rental cost page if you are pricing out a longer project. If you're also renting a portable toilet rental or a roll-off dumpster rental for the same job, ask about bundling delivery to cut down on separate trips.
We stock 20ft storage container and 40ft storage container units, and that covers most jobsite and residential moves in Yakima. The 20ft box handles tools, fixtures and pallet freight for a single-crew renovation. The 40ft unit is built for general contractors staging materials across a whole build, or a business clearing out a warehouse floor before a lease turnover. Both are weathertight steel boxes with lockable doors, delivered on a tilt-bed truck straight to your driveway or lot.
If you're not sure which size fits, think about what you're storing and for how long. A homeowner doing a kitchen remodel usually only needs the 20ft box for a few months. A commercial buildout in Yakima that's staging cabinetry, flooring and fixtures over a longer schedule usually goes with the 40ft. We also rent mobile office trailer rental units if you need a jobsite office alongside the storage box, which is common on active construction sites already running construction site services like temporary fence rental and roll-off dumpster rental.
Placement in the public right of way or on a street frontage needs confirming with the city before delivery. Municipal rules on where a container can sit, how long it can stay on a residential lot, and whether it needs a driveway permit vary by parcel and zoning, and we have not verified a specific Yakima ordinance number for this page. Call the city planning or permits desk before you schedule delivery if the container will sit anywhere near a curb, sidewalk or shared access lane, and check our porta potty permit requirements page if you are coordinating placement with a portable toilet rental on the same lot. For a jobsite already pulling permits for a temporary fence rental or a roll-off dumpster rental, it's worth asking the same desk about container placement at the same time, since they may review the site plan together.
Yakima Porta Pros delivers self storage container rental units across Yakima and into the nearby towns we already service regularly. That includes Ahtanum, about 5.4 miles southwest of Yakima, Summitview at 5.9 miles west, Gleed at 6.5 miles northwest, Terrace Heights at 6.7 miles east, and Selah at 7.5 miles north. A roll-off delivery, and container delivery works the same way, needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck so the driver can back in and set the box down level. If your driveway or lot is tight, tell us before the truck shows up so we can plan the approach, the same way we ask before delivering a restroom trailer rental or setting up a light tower rental on a crowded lot.
See our service areas page for the full list of towns we cover, or check porta potty rental in Yakima if you need sanitation on the same site. Customers near Selah often pair a storage container with a portable restroom rental for a multi-week home renovation porta potty project, since both deliver on the same trip.
Pod storage container rental units, ours included, are meant to be dropped once and picked up once, not shuffled around a lot repeatedly. If you need the box relocated within the same property, we can usually arrange a reposition for an added trip fee, similar to how a second delivery fee applies on a job requiring multiple drops. If you're planning a phased project, like clearing one side of a building before starting the next, it's cheaper to plan the final spot up front than to pay for a mid-job move. This is worth discussing with our dispatcher when you book, especially on commercial sites in Yakima where a paving or landscaping phase might come after the container's first placement, right alongside decisions about a temporary power pole or crowd control barrier rental for the same lot.
For jobs that also need staged waste removal, our dumpster sizes and dimensions guide can help you time a dumpster swap around the same schedule, and our 10 yard dumpster rental or 20 yard dumpster rental pages break down what fits a smaller residential cleanup versus a full construction tear-out.
A portable storage container rental unit is for keeping things, a dumpster is for throwing things away. That's the whole distinction, but it matters when you're planning a jobsite in Yakima with both moving and demolition happening at once. Storage containers stay locked and weathertight for tools, inventory, or materials you'll use again. Dumpsters get filled, hauled, and swapped, and they're billed by pull rather than by month, much like how a dumpster rental cost breakdown differs from the flat monthly rate on a storage container rental. If you're renovating a property and need both, it's common to have a 20ft storage container on one side of the lot and a 30 yard dumpster rental or 40 yard dumpster rental on the other.
Before either one shows up, check our dumpster permit requirements and what cannot go in a dumpster pages, since debris rules differ from storage placement rules. And if the site also needs sanitation for a crew, our construction site services page covers toilets, fencing and dumpsters together, referencing OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) for toilet counts on active jobsites with more than a handful of workers, and our how many porta potties do i need guide walks through the math for a full crew.
There's no fixed maximum. Most renters keep a container for a single month during a move or a short remodel, but longer commercial projects in Yakima often run the rental for several months straight through. Monthly billing means you're only committed to 30-day blocks at a time, so you can extend or end the rental without a long-term lease, similar to how monthly porta potty rental works for sanitation on the same site.
No, delivery is billed separately from the monthly container rate. Delivery fees run from around $120 to $420 a month depending on distance and site conditions, or a flat day-rate delivery charge if it's a one-time drop. Ask us for an exact quote once we know your address and whether the drop site has tight access, the same details we need for a porta potty rental per day quote or a porta potty rental cost estimate.
Usually yes, but placement on or near the street still needs confirming with the city. A container fully inside your driveway, away from the sidewalk and curb, is typically the simplest placement. If any part of the box would sit in the right of way, call Yakima's permits office first.
Tools, furniture, inventory, fixtures, and general household or jobsite goods are all fine. We don't recommend storing anything requiring climate control, since these are steel boxes without heating or cooling, and if your project needs winter-ready sanitation too, see our porta potty in winter guide. For anything flammable or hazardous, check with us before loading it in.
