Professional service start to finish
Good experience thanks to easy scheduling of both the delivery and the pickup of the dumpster. The delivery driver was very careful to not hit any of the roofline of the house even though the space was tight. Professional, and a competitive price as well. Will use again when it's time to finish the cleanout.

How soon can I get a dumpster delivered?
We try to get you a dumpster within five business days. When you call to set up your rental, we'll let you know when our next available delivery date is. We recommend calling a few days before starting your project to ensure we have the container you need when you need it.
Why do dumpster prices vary?
Our dumpster prices are based on several factors which can cause them to fluctuate, including:
Location: Local fuel costs, area disposal fees and regional regulations around sorting and recycling can affect pricing.
Debris Type: Disposal costs also vary based on what you’re throwing out and the landfills or processing facilities in your area.
Availability: Container availability varies throughout the year due to demand, which may cause prices to change.
Rental Period: Rental periods are generally 7-10 days, but this can vary by location. If you need to hang on to your container longer, let us know and you’ll receive a low daily rate for each additional day.
Weight: Though landfill charges are usually based on total weight, our bundled rates include a set weight limit for your rental, so you won’t need to know exactly how heavy your trash is when you place your order.
Facility Fees: Disposal facilities can charge a variety of extra costs, from standard taxes to other fees assessed by the landfill.
Is any debris prohibited in Boston?
Regardless of location, flammable, toxic and hazardous waste are prohibited. There may be additional restrictions depending on where you need service and the type of container you rent. We'll go over any specific guidelines when you call.
However, we do offer various roll off and commercial dumpsters for a variety of debris types, including:

Where does dumpster trash go?
Much of the trash disposed of in Boston is taken to the Fitchburg City Landfill, located at 101 Fitchburg Road. The next closest landfill is Crapo Hill Landfill.
Do I need any permits to rent a dumpster?
A permit is usually required if you want to place the container in a public right-of-way, such as the street or sidewalk. Contact the city of Boston to apply for a permit.
How can I avoid overage charges?
Your rental agreement includes a generous tonnage. However, if you exceed that weight, the landfill typically charges a rate per ton. We’ll help you choose the right dumpster size to handle your debris when you call.
How do I know what my debris weighs?
We'll ask questions about what you're tossing to help gauge the weight of your debris. This lets us suggest the right bin size. You can also use our dumpster weight calculators to get an estimate.
