Dumpster rental
in Ellsworth.

Plan a private route for renovation debris in Ellsworth: the City Transfer Station restricts construction and demolition debris. Rent a roll-off, or haul small loads to the private C&D yard behind the station. Keep the container off City streets until Code Enforcement confirms whether a permit is needed.

The first decision in Ellsworth

Match the terms to your project.

DM&J Waste publishes the fuller size range, 10 to 50 yards with exact dimensions, and runs a debris yard on Industrial Road that also takes trailer loads. Casella's Ellsworth page caps at 40 yards and lists no individual sizes. Neither posts prices, rental days or included weight, so line up written quotes.

Your local checklist
  1. Confirm the address is inside the City of Ellsworth, then ask Code Enforcement (207-667-4910) whether a container on a City street or sidewalk needs a permit before you plan a curbside drop.
  2. Ask each company in writing how many rental days and how much weight are included, the per-ton overage rate and any relocation fee, because neither publishes them for Ellsworth.
  3. Keep remodel debris, shingles and wood out of household trash bags. The City Transfer Station restricts construction debris, so it belongs in the roll-off or at the private C&D yard on Industrial Road.

Locally owned C&D hauler with an affiliated Ellsworth yard at 15 Industrial Rd, behind the City Transfer Station. The roll-off page names Ellsworth among the areas it serves. The same yard takes construction debris, shingles and scrap metal from homeowners, so a trailer drop-off is an alternative for small jobs. Hazardous waste, sealed drums, liquids and unidentifiable waste are excluded.

Ellsworth-specific dumpster rental page from a large regional company. Casella's Pine Tree Waste division also runs the City's curbside bag collection, but that contract covers stickered household bags, not roll-offs. No restricted-materials list is given; the page says one is provided at booking. The page lists several different phone numbers.

No dumpster-specific street placement rule was found for Ellsworth

We could not find a City of Ellsworth ordinance, form or page that addresses dumpsters or roll-off containers placed on a street, sidewalk or right-of-way. The City's Code Enforcement forms page lists a Highway/Road Opening Location Application, but the form is written for excavation and surface work: it prices impacts by square yard of pavement, concrete or gravel and cites Dig Safe and trenching rules, and it never mentions containers. Treat that as a gap, not as permission. The City has also warned that placing material across a public road, right-of-way or ditch counts as an obstruction under state law (29-A M.R.S. §2396), with fines of $150 to $500. Keep the container on your own driveway or lot where you can, and before any part of it sits on a City street or sidewalk, ask Code Enforcement (207-667-4910) or Public Works (207-669-6640) whether a permit, fee or lead time applies. Route 1 and Route 1A are state-numbered highways; ask whether a state rule applies there too. These are City rules and do not cover Ellsworth mailing addresses in neighboring towns.

What matters locally

Bag stickers, pay-by-weight drop-off and a C&D yard next door

City curbside pickup is weekly and handled by Pine Tree Waste, a Casella division. Each bag needs a $4 blue sticker and must weigh 50 pounds or less. Residents may hire a private hauler instead. The City Transfer Station at 11 Industrial Road also takes trash by weight at $160 per ton, with an $8 minimum for 100 pounds or less. It is closed Sunday and Monday and opens at noon on Wednesday. The City's solid waste ordinance restricts construction and demolition debris and wood waste at the Transfer Station (a 2026 proposed amendment would extend the existing commercial-debris ban to all such debris), and the City's trash page sends residents to Ellsworth Waste Services, the privately run site just behind it, for items the City does not take. That site lists construction debris, shingles and scrap metal from contractors and homeowners. Call 207-667-4333 for rates.

Electronics fees, free recycling and a new food-scrap drop

The Transfer Station takes e-waste from Ellsworth residents only: $5 per TV or monitor from 15 to 34 inches, $10 for TVs from 35 to 100 inches, and laptops, desktop printers and cellphones free. Household hazardous waste is accepted only at an annual collection event, and the City's page gives no date. Recycling is free at the Recycling Center, which takes #1 and #2 plastics, corrugated cardboard, newsprint, cans and glass. Since September 2, 2026, a free pilot program has taken food scraps at the Transfer Station.

Questions about renting in Ellsworth.

Can I take renovation debris to the Ellsworth Transfer Station?

Plan on no. The City's solid waste ordinance prohibits green wood and wood waste at the Transfer Station and restricts construction and demolition debris; a 2026 proposed amendment would bar all such debris, not just commercial loads. Call the station (207-667-1181) to confirm. The City's trash page points residents to Ellsworth Waste Services, the private site just behind it at 15 Industrial Road, which lists construction debris, shingles and scrap metal from homeowners and contractors. Call 207-667-4333 for its rates.

Do I have to use the City's trash service?

No. Ellsworth's ordinance lets residents use the City's curbside sticker collection, take bagged trash to the Transfer Station, or hire a private hauler at their own cost. Curbside bags need a $4 sticker and must weigh 50 pounds or less, and drop-off by weight costs $160 per ton with an $8 minimum.
