How much does a 40ft storage container cost in Redwood City?
Pricing runs by the month, and length changes the number. Redwood City Porta Pros quotes the 40 foot unit at the higher end of the storage band because it holds more material and needs a bigger delivery truck to place it. Compare it against the shorter option on the 20ft storage container page before you commit, since a lot of home renovation crews in Redwood City only need the smaller box.
| unit | duration | typical low | typical high |
|---|---|---|---|
| storage | month | 100 | 250 |
Delivery is quoted separately and depends on where the container sits on your lot. If you are budgeting a full project, look at storage container rental cost for the breakdown by size, and ask about a mobile office trailer if you need a place to work, not just a place to store.
What size job needs a 40 foot container?
A 40 footer suits full home remodels, multi-room renovations and small commercial buildouts where a 20 foot box fills up in a week. It is not a good fit for tight urban lots. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set down safely, and the same clearance rule applies to a 40 foot storage container on a flatbed. Redwood City streets near older neighborhoods often do not have that much straight run, so measure your driveway and curb space before ordering.
If your site is genuinely tight, the 20ft storage container is easier to place and still handles a kitchen remodel or a garage cleanout. Pair either size with temporary fence rental if the unit sits near a sidewalk or a shared property line, since an unsecured container full of tools is an easy target.
Contractors running a full teardown in Redwood City often rent the container alongside a 30 yard dumpster for debris and a 10 yard dumpster for smaller daily loads, keeping demolition waste out of the storage box entirely.

How long can I keep a 40ft storage container on site?
Most Redwood City Porta Pros rentals run month to month with no fixed end date, so you keep the container as long as the job needs it. Long renovations often run three to six months. Ask about the 40ft storage container monthly rate before extending, since some sites require updated placement approval after 90 days.
Do I need a permit to place a container on the street?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. If the container sits fully on private property, driveway or yard, permitting usually is not an issue. Check the porta potty permit requirements page for the general logic, since container and toilet placement rules often overlap.
Can I access the container after hours?
Yes, once it is delivered and placed, it is yours to open anytime. Redwood City Porta Pros does not lock you into pickup windows during the rental term. Just keep the porta potty rental checklist habit of confirming site access with your crew lead each morning.
What is the difference between a 20ft and 40ft container?
The 40 foot unit roughly doubles the storage volume of the 20ft storage container, but needs more clearance to deliver and more yard space to park. Choose 40 feet for full renovations, 20 feet for single-room jobs or tight lots.
Can I rent a container and a dumpster together?
Yes, and most Redwood City renovation crews do exactly that. Store tools and materials in the container, throw debris in a roll-off dumpster, and keep the two streams separate so nothing usable gets hauled off by accident.
