Maine / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Camden.

Camden has no Town trash pickup, so renovation debris either goes to the shared Mid-Coast Solid Waste facility on Union Street in Rockport, where clean demolition debris is weighed at 10 cents a pound, or into a rented roll-off. Casella and Chelsea-based Riverside Disposal both name Camden but publish no prices, so get written quotes. Before you order, find room on your own lot: Camden's right-of-way form says no dumpsters may be placed in the right-of-way.

The first decision in Camden

Match the terms to your project.

Neither company posts a Camden price, rental period or weight allowance, so the written quote decides it. Casella's Camden page offers containers up to 40 yards and spells out its clearance needs, which matter on narrow, wooded Camden lots. Riverside publishes exact 15-, 20- and 30-yard dimensions and lists its separate charges for freon items, tires and electronics, but it works out of Chelsea, near Augusta, and its town list does not say which services reach Camden, so ask about delivery and any distance charge.

Your local checklist

Measure a spot on your own driveway or lot before ordering, because Camden's right-of-way application says dumpsters and storage pods may not be placed in the right-of-way.
Ask Casella and Riverside for written quotes that state rental days, included tonnage, per-ton overage and any delivery charge to Camden.
For a small job, price a few sorted loads at the Mid-Coast facility at 90 Union Street, Rockport: clean demolition debris is $0.10 a pound but a mixed load is $0.17, and the gate takes cash or check only.

Published details, side by side

2 researched options.

Listings are an editorial starting point, not a complete market ranking. Supplier-published amounts are not Dumpsterly quotes. Confirm address eligibility, material acceptance, dates and the full delivered total.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Casella Waste Systems

Published sizes: Up to 40 cubic yards ("up to 16 truck loads"). The page's size comparison table has headings but no rows, so individual sizes and dimensions are not published.
Rental & weight terms: Pricing covers the dumpster with delivery and pickup; the page says most rentals include a standard rental period with flexibility to extend, but does not state its length. Included weight, overage and extra-day rates are not published; request a written quote.
Price basis: Not published. Casella says price depends on size, location and rental length and is quoted upfront. Phone 800-227-3552; customer care 802-683-3984 (weekdays 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

Page headed Dumpster Rental in Camden, ME, but it carries no Camden-specific address or details. Placement guidance: 3 feet of side clearance, 22 feet overhead and 34 feet of straight approach; keep off soft ground and grass and clear of sidewalks, driveways and hydrants; clear snow and ice before delivery. Camden's tree-lined, hilly lots make the overhead and approach clearances worth measuring before ordering.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Riverside Disposal & Recycling (Chelsea)

Published sizes: 15-yard (16' x 8' x 5'), 20-yard (20' x 8' x 4') and 30-yard (22' x 8' x 6') roll-offs, plus 2- to 10-yard dumpsters.
Rental & weight terms: Rental period, included weight, overage and extra-day rates are not published; request a written quote. Containers load over the top only (no door). Freon items, tires, TVs, computers and other universal waste are charged separately; gas, oil, paint and household chemicals are not accepted.
Price basis: Not published; quote only. Phone 207-623-2577; office at 700 River Road, Chelsea.

Camden appears on Riverside's own list of areas served, but the list does not say which services reach each town, and Chelsea is well inland from Camden. Confirm roll-off delivery to your Camden address and any distance charge when you call.

Camden's right-of-way application says no dumpsters or storage pods in the right-of-way

Camden handles temporary use of sidewalks and parking spaces through an Application to Place Temporary Structures within Town Rights-of-Way (April 2024 form). The form charges a $50 application fee plus $5 a day for a parking space or partial sidewalk encumbrance, or $20 a day where a full pedestrian detour plan is needed; it asks for a scaled plan, warns that approval can take up to a week, and needs sign-off from the Director of Public Works and the Police Chief before the Town Manager decides. The same form states that no dumpsters or storage pods may be placed in the right-of-way, so this permit cannot be used for a roll-off. Plan on placing the container on your own driveway or lot. If ladders, scaffolding or other equipment for the same project will occupy a sidewalk or parking space, that part may need this application, and the Codes and Planning Office (Code Enforcement Officer, 207-236-3353 x7114) can say whether a building permit is also required. Public Works is at 54 John Street (207-236-7901). Route 1 through Camden is a state-numbered highway; ask MaineDOT about its right-of-way.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Camden.

Can I put a rented dumpster on the street or sidewalk in front of my Camden house?

No, according to the Town's own form. Camden's Application to Place Temporary Structures within Town Rights-of-Way, used for scaffolding, ladders and other equipment on sidewalks or in parking spaces, states that no dumpsters or storage pods may be placed in the right-of-way. That application costs $50 plus $5 to $20 a day and needs Public Works and Police sign-off, but it does not cover a dumpster. Keep the container on private property, and call Public Works at 207-236-7901 with any question.

Under the 2026-2027 schedule, construction and demolition debris costs $0.10 a pound, sheetrock or a mixed load $0.17 a pound, and stumps $0.20 a pound.
