How much does a 20ft storage container cost?
Monthly storage container rental in this size class runs from about $100 to $250 a month, depending on ground access, delivery distance and how long you need it on site. That is the pricing band Wyoming Porta Pros works within for standard 20ft boxes, not the larger 40ft units, and it fits alongside other construction dumpster rental costs on a busy site. If you are stacking a container next to other equipment, like a temporary fence rental around a Wyoming demo site or a roll-off dumpster rental for debris, ask about bundling delivery so you are not paying separate trip fees. For exact numbers tied to your address, the storage container rental cost page breaks down what changes the quote.
| item | duration | typical range |
|---|---|---|
| storage container | month | $100 - $250 |
Compare that to a 40ft storage container if your load list is bigger than tools and materials, or look at a mobile office trailer rental if you need a desk and space to sit down, not just steel walls.
What can I fit in a 20ft storage container?
Most renters use this size for tools, pallets of material, seasonal equipment or overflow inventory during a home renovation porta potty project or a larger remodel. It is a common pairing with construction site services in Wyoming, where crews need lockable storage next to a standard porta potty rental and a fenced perimeter. Some renters ask about a 20ft cold storage container for perishable goods or temperature-sensitive materials; availability depends on the unit, so confirm refrigeration needs when you request a quote. A 20ft mobile office container with trailer setup is a different product from a static storage box, closer in use to a temporary power pole and light tower rental setup than to plain storage. If you need a workspace on wheels, the mobile office trailer rental listing covers that option separately from straight storage.
Where can a 20ft container be placed on my property?
Ground has to be firm and level, similar to placement rules for a portable toilet rental, a portable restroom rental, or an ADA accessible porta potty. ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for stable, firm, slip-resistant surfaces on accessible routes, and the same logic applies to any heavy equipment set on soft or sloped ground. Placement within Wyoming city limits may involve local code, and that has not been verified here, so confirm exact setback and right-of-way rules with the city before delivery. Renters near Grandville, about 4.0 miles west, or Kentwood, roughly 6.4 miles east, should check the same local requirements, since municipal rules differ by jurisdiction even a few miles apart. See the porta potty placement guide for the general access principles that carry over to container drop points, and the service areas page for what Wyoming Porta Pros covers around Wyoming.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a 20ft storage container weigh?
Empty, a standard 20ft container weighs around 5,000 pounds. Loaded weight depends entirely on what goes inside, so plan your driveway or lot surface for the heavier figure once material is stacked. If your ground cannot support that, ask about placement alternatives before delivery day.
What are the exact 20ft storage container dimensions?
Figure roughly 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, and about 8.5 feet of interior height. Door openings vary by manufacturer, so confirm the clear opening width if you are moving pallets or equipment through it.
Do I need a permit for a storage container in Wyoming?
Possibly, depending on placement duration and location. That detail has not been verified for Wyoming specifically, so call the city before you commit to a delivery date, and check the dumpster permit requirements page too if a roll-off is going in at the same time. The porta potty permit requirements page explains how this question gets handled for other rented equipment in the same city.
Can I rent a 20ft container for just a few weeks?
Yes. Monthly is the standard billing period for containers, and shorter placements are usually prorated. Ask Wyoming Porta Pros directly if your project runs closer to two or three weeks than a full month.
Does Wyoming Porta Pros deliver containers alongside other equipment?
Yes. Many renters combine a container with a handwashing station rental, a chain link temporary fence, or a 10 yard dumpster rental for one project. Bundling delivery on the same trip often simplifies scheduling and site access for everyone involved.
