Vermont / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Burlington.

In Burlington, private haulers already collect the trash and the small Pine Street drop-off center turns away large loads and trailers. That makes a roll-off the practical choice for most remodels and cleanouts. Bin There Dump That publishes $499 to $949 for 6- to 20-yard bins with set tonnage and a $275-per-ton overage, and Casella quotes up to 40 yards. Keep the bin on your own property unless you or the hauler have a DPW right-of-way permit.

The first decision in Burlington

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That is the only one of the two that publishes Burlington prices, included tonnage (0.25 to 1.5 tons) and an overage rate, though its smaller bins include very little weight. Casella publishes no price, rental length or weight allowance but offers containers up to 40 yards. Both appear in CSWD's licensed-hauler directory. Only Casella, through its All Cycle Waste division, is on the City's January 2023 hauler list.

Your local checklist

Ask the company to confirm it holds a current CSWD Hauler's License and is registered with Burlington DPW under Chapter 14, which the City's licence form requires of every solid-waste collection service working within city limits.
If the bin can't fit on your driveway or lot, have the right-of-way Obstruction permit approved through the City's OpenGov portal before delivery; DPW requires insurance, a permit bond and plans with the application.
With Bin There Dump That's 6- and 10-yard bins including only 0.25 and 0.5 ton, estimate the weight of plaster, tile or shingles before booking, since each extra ton costs $275.

A bin on a Burlington street, sidewalk or greenbelt needs a DPW right-of-way (Obstruction) permit

Burlington DPW's right-of-way permits page says the City Code requires a permit for any person, firm or corporation to block or disturb the ground or pavement in the right-of-way, which includes streets, sidewalks, greenbelts and curbs. Applicants must supply insurance, a permit bond and plans. Every form and plan has to be complete and attached before you may occupy City property. The page lists an Obstruction permit among its right-of-way permits, along with separate encumbrance permits for long-term and construction use. Applications go through the City's OpenGov portal. The page does not mention dumpsters, and it publishes fees only for excavation permits, not for obstructions. City Code Sec. 27-32 limits an obstruction permit to 60 days (extended week to week by Public Works), charges $20 for the first week or part of a week and $5 for each additional week, and requires a certificate of insurance before the permit is issued; the page gives no lead time. The simplest course is to keep the roll-off on your own driveway or lot. If it has to sit in the street or on the sidewalk, ask the rental company whether it will get the Obstruction permit, or call City Hall (802-865-7000) for DPW before booking.

What matters locally

CSWD's Pine Street drop-off is small: no trailers, no large loads, and C&D carries a higher rate

The Chittenden Solid Waste District runs a Drop-Off Center at 339 Pine Street in Burlington. It is open Tuesday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and CSWD calls it its smallest site. It takes bagged household trash, blue-bin recycling, food scraps and some special items, but not trailers, oversized furniture or large loads. Construction and demolition debris is not on its accepted list. Every visit costs a $1 facility fee. CSWD's drop-off price list charges trash by volume, from $1 for up to 5 gallons to $48 for about a cubic yard. Construction and demolition debris costs about double, from $8 for up to 18 gallons to $96 for 151 to 200 gallons, because it tends to be bulky and heavy. The South Burlington, Essex, Milton and Williston drop-off centers are the other nearby CSWD sites, and only Essex, Milton and Williston take trailers. Check CSWD's A-Z list before bringing renovation debris to a particular site.

Yard debris goes to the McNeil depot on Intervale Road or a CSWD drop-off

Burlington's recycling and solid-waste FAQs say residents and businesses can bring limited amounts of yard debris to the McNeil Wood and Yard Waste Depot at 111 Intervale Road, with seasonal hours, or to CSWD drop-off centers. CSWD's price list shows residential yard-waste drop-off of up to 30 gallons at no charge. The same FAQs confirm that DPW collects residential recycling with City trucks and that private haulers collect trash. The recycling programme is paid for by a solid-waste generation tax that haulers collect on each residential unit. For a large landscaping cleanup, compare a roll-off with a few trips to the depot.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Burlington.

Can I bring renovation debris to the Burlington drop-off center on Pine Street instead of renting a dumpster?

Only in small amounts, and possibly not there at all. CSWD's Pine Street Drop-Off Center (open Tuesday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) is its smallest site. It bars trailers and large loads, and it does not list construction and demolition debris among the materials it accepts. CSWD's drop-off price list charges C&D by volume, from $8 for up to 18 gallons to $96 for 151 to 200 gallons, plus a $1 facility fee per visit. Essex, Milton and Williston are the CSWD sites that allow trailers. Check CSWD's A-Z list for the site that takes your material.

Does the City's 2027 recycling contract with Casella mean I have to rent a dumpster from Casella?

No source read for this guide says so. In March 2026 the City Council approved a seven-year Casella contract for residential recycling collection starting January 1, 2027, plus a study of consolidating residential collection. The City's page does not mention dumpsters or roll-offs. Trash in Burlington is still collected by private haulers. The CSWD ordinance licenses haulers district-wide, and each licence names the facilities the hauler may use. It does not tie roll-off rentals to one company.
