Massachusetts / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Burlington.

Burlington's Republic Services curbside program refuses construction and demolition debris, and the Town has no transfer station, so a renovation or large cleanout usually means a roll-off. The Board of Health has no dumpster or hauler rules, but the Fire Department's fee sheet lists a dumpster permit ($25 under 6 yards, $50 over), so call Fire Prevention before delivery. A bin in the street needs a Select Board permit and liability insurance. Bin There Dump That posts prices from $445 for a 10-yard (1 ton) to $700 for a 20-yard (3 tons). Casella (up to 40 yards) and Redbox+ North Boston (10 to 40 yards) quote by phone.

The first decision in Burlington

Match the terms to your project.

Bin There Dump That is the only one of the three that publishes Burlington prices, bin dimensions, included tonnage (1 to 3 tons) and a 7- or 14-day term, but it stops at 20 yards and ships from Fitchburg. Casella and Redbox+ North Boston both go up to 40 yards for bigger tear-outs but post no prices, weight allowances or rental lengths. Redbox+ is listed in nearby Lowell, while Bin There Dump That's Central Massachusetts franchise is based in Fitchburg, so delivery lead times may differ.

Your local checklist

Call the Burlington Fire Department (781-270-1600 or fire@burlington.org) before delivery to ask whether your roll-off needs its dumpster permit ($25 under 6 yards, $50 over 6 yards on the posted fee sheet) and whether you or the rental company applies.
Keep the bin on your driveway if possible; General Bylaw XIII §1.4 requires a Select Board permit and public liability insurance to place any object in a Burlington street, so ask Town Hall before booking a street drop.
Tarp the roll-off between loads, since Bylaw XIV §2.12 requires stored rubbish to be in a covered container, and schedule delivery and swaps within construction hours (7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays).

The franchise rates page says rentals typically run 7 days in the busy season and 14 days in the slower season, with longer periods on request. No per-ton overage or extra-day rate is published; request a written quote. Mattresses and box springs are $150 each, and the page lists other surcharges (tires, TVs, monitors, Freon appliances) with two conflicting amounts for tires and Freon appliances. Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, asbestos, batteries and dirt are not accepted; fill only to the top edge.
Price basis: $395 (4-yard), $425 (6-yard), $445 (10-yard), $555 (15-yard), $700 (20-yard), as listed on the Burlington page and the Central Massachusetts rates page. The company says prices vary with location, contents and size. Phone 978-582-1176.

The Burlington page is headed 'Dumpster Rentals in Burlington by Bin There Dump That' and its browser title names Burlington, MA, but two of its sections mention Acton instead of Burlington. The franchise page lists Burlington under Areas Served and gives a Fitchburg address (615 South St.), about 35 miles from Burlington, so confirm delivery timing. Burlington publishes no licensed hauler list to check it against.

Casella Waste Systems

Published sizes: Up to 40 cubic yards ("about 16 truck loads"); the page's container comparison table lists no individual sizes.
Rental & weight terms: The page says most rentals include a standard period that can be extended on request, but doesn't give its length. Included weight, overage and extra-day rates are not published; request a written quote.
Price basis: Not published. Casella quotes based on size, location and rental length, with one flat rate covering the container, delivery, pickup and support. Phone 800-227-3552; questions 802-683-3984 (weekdays 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

Rental & weight terms: Rental length, included weight, overage and extra-day rates are not published; request a written quote.
Price basis: Not published; the page promises transparent pricing but gives no figures. Phone 617-340-5694.

Redbox+ North Boston is a franchise listed in Lowell, MA, and its page is headed 'Renting a Local Dumpster in the Burlington Area.' The page does not spell out Burlington, MA, but it is the North Boston franchise's page, and it is the only one of the three suppliers based in Middlesex County. It sizes its bins by bags and pickup loads rather than tonnage, so ask what weight each size includes.

Burlington's Fire Department lists a dumpster permit fee; a bin in the street needs a Select Board obstruction permit

The Burlington Fire Department's posted Permit Fees sheet (a scanned, undated page) lists a Dumpster permit at $25 for containers under 6 yards and $50 for containers over 6 yards. General Bylaw Article XIII §1.33.2.1 also refers to the permittee of a commercial solid waste container 'issued by the Fire Department'. The Town does not post a dumpster application, a duration or a rule saying who must apply, so call Fire Prevention (Town Hall 781-270-1600, fire@burlington.org) before delivery to confirm whether a residential roll-off on a driveway needs this permit and whether you or the rental company files it. The Board of Health's March 2024 regulation compilation (amended January 28, 2025) contains no dumpster permit, lid, enclosure, pad or setback rule. In the street the rule is clearer: General Bylaw Article XIII §1.4 says no person shall obstruct a street by placing any object or structure in it without public liability insurance and a permit from the Select Board, and §1.7 bars leaving garbage, stones, dirt or metal in a street. The DPW/Engineering street opening permits are for licensed utility contractors and excavation, not dumpsters. Keep the bin on your own driveway if you can, and if it must go in the road, ask the Select Board's office at Town Hall how to apply.

What matters locally

Construction debris is barred from Burlington's curbside trash

The Town's 2026/2027 trash, recycling and yard waste guide (July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027) says construction and demolition debris is not allowed in trash. It lists treated and untreated wood, toilets, sinks, windows, doors, brick, concrete and asphalt, and tells residents to contact a licensed C&D disposal company or donate reusable materials. Orange overflow bags ($10 for five) are for occasional extra trash, not major cleanouts. Bulk items, white goods, TVs, tires and large metal go through Republic Services' paid special pickup (1-800-442-9006). Mattresses and box springs are collected by UTEC for $40 each (978-856-3997). General Bylaw Article XIV §2.5 also makes the owner or contractor on a construction or demolition site keep adequate waste containers there and take the debris to an authorized facility.

Yard waste is collected at the curb in set weeks; there is no Town transfer station

Burlington has no Town drop-off for household debris; yard waste goes out at the curb during set weeks. For 2026/2027 those weeks are July 27, August 24, September 21, October 19 through December 4, April 19 through May 28 and June 21, 2027. Put paper bags or barrels marked Yard Waste out by 7 a.m. Monday. Branches may be no more than 4 inches thick and must be bundled no larger than 30 inches by 3 feet, and no bag, bundle or barrel may weigh over 50 pounds. Dirt, sod, rocks and treated wood are refused, and plastic bags are not picked up. For household hazardous waste, the guide says to call the Board of Health at 781-270-1955. The DPW (781-270-1670) sells compost bins for $40.

Questions about renting in Burlington.

Can I put renovation debris out with Burlington's curbside trash or use overflow bags instead of renting a dumpster?

No. The Town's 2026/2027 collection guide says construction and demolition debris is not allowed in trash, naming wood, toilets, sinks, windows, doors, brick, concrete and asphalt, and tells residents to contact a licensed C&D disposal company. Overflow bags ($10 for five) are meant for occasional extra household trash, not major cleanouts. Republic Services' paid special pickup (1-800-442-9006) handles bulk items, appliances, TVs, tires and large metal, and UTEC takes mattresses for $40 each. A kitchen or bath tear-out needs a roll-off or a private hauler.

Does a Burlington homeowner need a permit for a roll-off in the driveway?

Possibly, from the Fire Department rather than the Board of Health. The Board of Health's regulation compilation (adopted March 26, 2024, amended January 28, 2025) and its permit list contain no dumpster permit or rule. The Fire Department's posted Permit Fees sheet lists a Dumpster permit at $25 under 6 yards and $50 over 6 yards, and the General Bylaws refer to commercial container permits issued by the Fire Department. The Town posts no dumpster application or written rule, so it is unclear whether a short residential rental needs the permit. Ask Fire Prevention before delivery. The zoning bylaw's dumpster screening rule (§7.4.4.4) applies only to nonresidential and multifamily properties (§7.4.2).
