Vermont / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Colchester.

Colchester has no Town trash pickup, so a cleanout or remodel needs a private roll-off or trips to Myers Recycling off Rathe Road or the CSWD Essex Drop-Off Center. Bin There Dump That publishes Colchester prices from $499 to $949 with set tonnage and a 7-day rental. Casella quotes containers up to 40 yards. Confirm that the hauler holds both a Town carter's license and a CSWD hauler licence. Keep the bin off Town streets unless Public Works has issued an obstruction permit.

The first decision in Colchester

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That is the only one of the two that publishes Colchester numbers: four bin sizes, 0.25 to 1.5 tons included, $275 per ton over, a fuel surcharge of $15 to $50, and a franchise address in town. Casella offers larger containers, up to 40 yards, but publishes no price, rental length or weight allowance. Get a written Colchester total, rental days and overage rate from Casella to compare.

Your local checklist

Ask the rental company to confirm it holds a current Town of Colchester carter's license (Chapter 5; licences expire each June 1) as well as its CSWD hauler licence.
If the bin must sit in a Town street or on a sidewalk, call Public Works at 802-264-5620 for the § 13-29 obstruction permit: $40 per week, insurance certificate required, 30 days at most.
Check the included tonnage against your debris. Bin There Dump That's 6-yard bin includes only a quarter ton, and shingles or plaster can exceed that quickly at $275 per extra ton.

A container in a Colchester street or on a sidewalk needs a Public Works obstruction permit ($40 per week, 30 days at most)

Section 13-29 of the Colchester Code of Ordinances (Chapter 13, Streets and Sidewalks) makes it unlawful to temporarily obstruct a street or sidewalk without a written permit from the Director of Public Works or the Director's designee. The section covers temporary obstacles that hinder pedestrians or vehicles. It does not name dumpsters, but a roll-off in the roadway or on a sidewalk fits that description. Under § 13-30, a permit may not run longer than 30 days unless the Selectboard approves; the Director may extend it week by week. Before the permit is issued, the applicant must provide a liability insurance certificate ($100,000/$300,000/$100,000), agree to hold the Town harmless, and show any other state or Town permits required. The permittee must repair or pay for any damage. Fee Ordinance § 6½-11, unchanged in the version effective September 1, 2026, sets the fee at $40 for each week or part of a week. No online application form, lead time or dumpster-specific guidance was found. Call Public Works (781 Blakely Road, 802-264-5620) before booking a street placement. Otherwise keep the bin on your own driveway, out of the sidewalk and away from hydrants. Unpermitted obstructions can draw Judicial Bureau fines starting at $200 (§ 13-43).

What matters locally

No Town trash pickup; Myers Recycling Center off Rathe Road takes C&D debris

The Town's FAQ says Colchester does not provide trash or recycling pickup and points residents to the Myers Recycling Center on Rathe Road and to CSWD. CSWD's 2025 Large Loads flyer lists Myers Recycling Center at Red Can Drive (off Rathe Road, 802-655-4312), open weekdays 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. to noon. It accepts wood, plywood, drywall, metal, shingles and C&D waste. Rates are by phone, bulky items cost extra, and paint, liquids, electronics and tires are refused. The same flyer lists two Colchester sites for heavy inert material, both call-ahead: Parsons Stump Dump (Parsons Road) for stumps, concrete, brick and clean fill, and Ranger Asphalt & Concrete (1607 Malletts Bay Avenue) for asphalt, brick, concrete and clean fill. Loads must be secured; Town Code § 9-1 also requires covered loads on public highways.

CSWD Essex Drop-Off Center charges C&D by volume ($8 up to $96 per cubic yard)

The nearest CSWD Drop-Off Center is at 218 Colchester Road in neighbouring Essex, open Tuesday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. It takes bagged and loose trash, bulky items and construction and demolition debris, as well as recycling, scrap metal, appliances, tires and some household hazardous items. Dense C&D costs more than household trash and is priced by volume: $8 up to 18 gallons, $48 for half a cubic yard and $96 for 151 to 200 gallons (about one cubic yard). Every visit also carries a $1 facility fee (as of July 1, 2026). Trailers are allowed but dump bodies are not, and staff do not unload. For more than a couple of cubic yards, a roll-off is usually simpler.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Colchester.

Does the Town of Colchester pick up construction debris or bulky trash?

No. The Town says it does not provide trash or recycling pickup. For debris you haul yourself, Myers Recycling Center on Red Can Drive off Rathe Road accepts wood, drywall, shingles, metal and C&D waste by quote (802-655-4312), and CSWD's Essex Drop-Off Center at 218 Colchester Road charges C&D by volume, up to $96 for about a cubic yard, plus a $1 visit fee.

What licences does a dumpster company need to work in Colchester?

Two. Chapter 5 of the Town Code requires a Selectboard carter's license to collect, transport or deliver solid waste in Colchester, valid for up to a year and expiring June 1. The Chittenden Solid Waste District separately requires a CSWD Hauler License for waste generated in the county, and haulers may deliver only to facilities named in that licence. Neither rule limits rentals to one company. CSWD's online hauler list includes both Bin There Dump That and Casella, but the Town publishes no current carter list, so ask the company.
