How much does a 40ft storage container cost in Lakewood?
Storage container pricing is billed monthly, not daily, since most renters keep a unit for weeks or months at a stretch. Our measured range for storage container rental runs $100 to $250 a month across sizes, with the 40 foot unit sitting at the higher end of that band because of the extra square footage. A 20ft storage container costs less per month if you don't need the full length. Delivery is billed separately and depends on how far the truck has to travel and how tight the site access is. Check storage container rental cost for the full breakdown before you commit to a size. If your project is more about hauling debris than storing material, a roll-off dumpster rental or a 40 yard dumpster rental might actually be the better fit.
| unit | duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| storage | month | 100 | 125 | 250 |
What size job needs a 40 foot container?
A 40 footer suits full home renovations, commercial buildouts, warehouse overflow and multi-month construction projects where a 20 foot box just won't hold enough. Contractors running a construction site services job in Lakewood often pair a 40 foot container with a mobile office trailer rental for site staff and paperwork. If you're only clearing out a garage or a single room, look at the smaller 20ft storage container instead, since you'd be paying for space you don't use. Delivery trucks need real room to maneuver a unit this long, similar to the roughly 60 feet of straight clearance a roll-off delivery needs behind the truck. Measure your driveway or lot before booking, and if the container needs to sit anywhere near a public street, that placement should be confirmed with the City of Lakewood, since right-of-way rules aren't something we can assume from a spec sheet.
Where can I get a 40 foot storage container delivered near me?
Cornerstone Porta Potty delivers 40 foot storage containers throughout Lakewood and into nearby communities. Wheat Ridge sits about 5.8 miles north, Golden is 9.2 miles northwest, and Arvada is 11.8 miles north, so most of the metro west side is within a short haul of our yard. If you're outside city limits, our service areas page lists coverage in Englewood, Littleton, Applewood and both Pleasant View neighborhoods. Renters searching for a 40 foot storage container rental near California or Texas job sites should know we serve Lakewood, Colorado specifically, not out of state locations. For projects that also need waste removal, pair your container with a construction dumpster rental or check dumpster sizes and dimensions to compare footprints before delivery day.
Do I need a permit for a 40 foot storage container in Lakewood?
It depends on where the unit sits. If it's staying on private property, off the street, you're usually fine, but placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. We don't guess on this. Check porta potty permit requirements for how permitting questions generally work in Lakewood before you finalize a delivery spot.
How much space does a 40ft container take up on site?
A 40 foot container needs a flat, stable pad about 40 feet long plus turning room for the delivery truck. ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for stable, firm, slip-resistant surfaces on accessible routes, and that same logic applies to container pads: soft or uneven ground causes settling. Gravel or asphalt works best.
Can I keep a 40ft storage container long term?
Yes. Storage containers are billed monthly, and there's no fixed cap on how many months you can keep one. Longer rentals are common for phased construction projects. If your needs shrink partway through, ask about swapping down to a 20ft storage container instead.
What's the difference between a 40ft container and a mobile office trailer?
A 40 foot container is sealed storage for materials, tools and equipment. A mobile office trailer rental is a working space with power and a door people walk through daily. Many jobsites rent both, storage for gear and an office for staff.
Does Cornerstone Porta Potty deliver containers outside Lakewood?
Yes. Beyond Lakewood proper, we reach Wheat Ridge, Golden, Arvada, Englewood and Littleton, all listed with driving distances on our service areas page. If your address isn't listed, request a quote and we'll confirm delivery range and cost.
