A 40ft storage container gets you roughly double the space of the 20ft option, and St. Louis Porta Pros prices monthly rental between $100 and $250 depending on length of term and site access. Most contractors and homeowners doing a full remodel land in the middle of that range.
Monthly pricing for storage container rental in St. Louis runs $100 to $250, with the low end going to longer commitments and easier drop sites. A 40 foot storage container rental costs more to deliver than a 20 footer because of the extra length the truck needs to maneuver, so check your driveway or lot before booking. If you want the exact breakdown by term length, our storage container rental cost page walks through it. Delivery itself is a separate line item, and depending on distance and site conditions it can run from a flat local fee up toward the higher end of our delivery band. Sites closer to downtown St. Louis tend to book faster than jobs out toward St. Peters, 27.0 miles northwest, simply because of drive time on the delivery truck.
You need flat, stable ground and clear approach room, the same base requirement that applies to a roll-off dumpster delivery. ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for surfaces that are stable, firm and slip resistant, and while that spec is written for accessible routes, it is a good gut check for any container pad in St. Louis too. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and a 40ft container delivery needs comparable room to back in and set down level. If your lot backs up to a narrow alley or a shared driveway in University City, 7.9 miles northwest of St. Louis, or a tighter urban lot in Webster Groves, 8.6 miles southwest, measure twice. Curbside or right-of-way placement in St. Louis needs confirming with the city before delivery day, since we cannot state a specific ordinance here without verifying it. Homeowners tackling a home renovation often rent a container alongside a portable toilet for the crew, and pairing deliveries can simplify scheduling.
Some placements do, especially anything sitting in the street or public right-of-way, and St. Louis Porta Pros always recommends confirming with the city before the truck rolls. We do not carry a specific ordinance number to quote you here, so treat this as a call to make, not a box to skip. The same caution applies to dumpster permit requirements on a construction job, where placement rules can differ from a simple driveway drop. If your project also needs a 40 yard dumpster or a smaller 10 yard dumpster running alongside the storage unit, plan both deliveries around the same access constraints. Renovation jobs that stretch past a few weeks often benefit from combining a container with temporary fencing to keep the site secured between work days, and a mobile office trailer if the crew needs a place to plan the day.
Rentals run month to month, and St. Louis Porta Pros has no fixed cap on term length. Most renovation and construction jobs keep the unit three to six months, matching the pace of the construction site services already on site, then extend as needed without a new delivery fee each cycle.
It depends on driveway length and turning room for the delivery truck. A standard suburban driveway in Kirkwood, 12.5 miles west of St. Louis, or Florissant, 15.4 miles north, usually works if there is a straight approach. Narrow or curved driveways may need the truck to use street access instead, so call ahead.
Yes, and many customers do. The 20ft storage container covers about half the footprint and still handles most single-room remodels or garage cleanouts. Compare both sizes before booking so you are not paying for space you will not fill.
Storage containers hold items you are keeping. Debris and trash need a roll-off dumpster rental instead, since containers are not rated for construction waste. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before you start loading either one.
