How much does a 20ft storage container weigh?
Weight varies by manufacturer and floor type, so we won't quote a number we can't stand behind here, but empty units are heavy enough that placement matters. Boynton Beach Porta Pros checks your driveway, lot or job site before delivery to confirm the ground can take the load without settling or cracking pavement. If you're pairing storage with a construction dumpster rental or a 30 yard dumpster rental on the same site, we plan both drops together so trucks aren't fighting for the same access point. Soft ground, slopes and low tree limbs all affect where the container can actually sit, and that's worth sorting out before the truck shows up in Boynton Beach.
What are the dimensions and what fits inside?
Twenty feet long, about eight feet wide, roughly eight and a half feet tall inside. That's enough room for a one-bedroom household move, a kitchen remodel's worth of cabinets and appliances, or a contractor's tools and materials for a multi-week job. Compare that to the larger footprint of a 40ft storage container if you're clearing out a whole house or stocking a bigger crew. Renovation crews near Boynton Beach often pair a 20ft box with a home renovation porta potty so the crew has both waste storage and a restroom on the same site visit. If you need a place to work rather than just store, look at a mobile office trailer rental instead, sometimes described locally as a 20ft mobile office container with trailer setup for a jobsite that needs a desk and a door.
Do I need a cold storage option or a permit?
Standard dry containers cover most jobs, but if you're storing perishables, a 20ft cold storage container with refrigeration is worth asking about when you request a quote, since not every yard stocks them and availability runs tighter than dry units. On permits, placement in the public right of way or on a public street in Boynton Beach needs confirming with the city before delivery; we don't guess at local ordinance numbers, so check with the city or see our dumpster permit requirements page for the kind of questions to ask. If the container sits fully on your private driveway or lot, you're usually in simpler territory, but verify before committing.
Pricing
| Duration | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Monthly rental | $100 to $250, typical around $125 |
Delivery is billed separately and typically runs $120 to $420 for the month, depending on distance and access. For shorter jobs, compare against a storage container rental cost breakdown or ask about a 20ft storage container versus 40ft pricing directly.
How far in advance should I book?
Book at least a week out if you can, especially during busy renovation seasons. Boynton Beach Porta Pros can sometimes turn around faster, but guaranteed placement and the right unit type depend on what's in the yard that week. Pair it with a temporary fence rental if the site needs security too.
Can I keep the container on the street?
Only with confirmation from the city first. Public right-of-way placement in Boynton Beach isn't something we'll assume is fine without you checking, so ask before the truck rolls. Driveway or private lot placement avoids that question entirely for most residential jobs.
What's the difference between a 20ft and 40ft unit?
Length and capacity, mainly. The 40ft storage container roughly doubles interior space, which matters for whole-house moves or larger construction jobs. See dumpster sizes and dimensions for a broader size comparison if you're also renting a dumpster.
Do you deliver outside Boynton Beach?
Yes. We regularly serve Lake Worth Beach, about 7.6 miles north, and Palm Springs, roughly 9.8 miles north. Check our service areas page or the porta potty rental in Boynton Beach hub for the full coverage map.
Can I rent storage and a restroom together?
Yes, and many customers do for renovation and event jobs. Ask about combining with a portable restroom rental or a restroom trailer rental when you request a quote, since bundling delivery often simplifies scheduling.
