Dumpster rental
in Falmouth.

Falmouth's curbside service and Transfer Station both stop short of renovation waste: the Casella collection contract excludes construction debris, and the Woods Road station refuses shingles, sheetrock and other building material. For a remodel or roof, you will need a private roll-off. Bin There Dump That posts prices for three sizes; Casella quotes on request. Get rental days and included tonnage in writing, and keep the container off Town roads unless Public Works approves it, since the only posted street permit covers excavation.

The first decision in Falmouth

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That lists flat prices for 10-, 15- and 20-yard containers ($525 to $725) with driveway protection, but no rental length or weight allowance. Casella goes larger (up to 40 yards) and publishes clearance requirements, but no sizes table, prices or terms, so it can only be compared on a written quote.

Your local checklist

Ask Bin There Dump That and Casella whether they hold a current Falmouth waste hauler license (Town Code 13-14) and get the rental period, included tons and per-ton overage in writing; neither publishes them on its Falmouth page.
Call Falmouth Public Works (207-699-5370) before a container goes in a Town road; the posted Excavation Permit covers digging only, and no dumpster rule is published. Between November 15 and April 15, ask how the overnight winter parking ban applies.
Separate the loads: shingles, sheetrock and other construction debris go in the roll-off because the Transfer Station refuses them, while appliances ($10), tires ($5) and furniture ($5 or $10) can go to the Transfer Station on green tickets with a resident sticker.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Bin There Dump That (Portland)

Published sizes: 10, 15 and 20 yards (10' x 7' x 4', 11' x 8' x 4.5' and 11' x 8' x 6'); the body text calls the 15-yard a 14-yard and mentions a 4-to-20-yard range, but no 4-yard size is listed
Rental & weight terms: Rental period, included weight, overage and extra-day rates not published; request a written quote.
Price basis: $525 (10-yard), $625 (15-yard) and $725 (20-yard), with delivery, pickup and driveway protection listed as included for residential rentals. Phone 207-805-5505.

Franchise with a Falmouth, ME service-area page run from its Portland location; no Falmouth street address. The page claims no hidden fees but publishes no fee schedule, and it says nothing about permits, street placement or prohibited items.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Casella Waste Systems

Published sizes: Up to 40 cubic yards ("up to 16 truck loads"); the container comparison table on the page is empty, so specific sizes and dimensions are not published
Rental & weight terms: The page says most rentals include a standard period and that it is flexible, without giving a length. Included weight, overage and extra-day rates not published; request a written quote.
Price basis: Not published; priced by size, location and rental length. Phone 800-227-3552 in the header (the page also lists 802-683-3984 for support).

Page headed Dumpster Rental in Falmouth, ME, with generic Maine content and no local yard address. Its placement guide asks for 3 feet of clearance on each side, 22 feet of overhead clearance and 34 feet of straight approach, and says not to block sidewalks, driveways or hydrants. Hazardous materials are prohibited. Casella is also the Town's contracted curbside hauler, but that contract excludes construction debris, so a roll-off rental is a separate private arrangement.

Ask for delivery, pickup, included tons and days, per-ton overage, extra-day charges, fuel, tax, prohibited-item fees, swaps and blocked-trip charges. “Quote required” means the reviewed source did not establish a usable fixed total.

Falmouth posts an excavation permit, not a dumpster permit

The Public Works Permits & Forms page lists an Excavation Permit, a Residential Street Entrance (Driveway) Permit, a Utility Location Permit and a Drainage Connection Form. The Excavation Permit form cites Division II-14-2-4 (Excavations) of the Town Code and covers digging in the right-of-way: fees are charged for pavement restoration at $25 per square yard, the permit lapses 30 days after issuance, Public Works needs 24 hours' notice before work begins, a certificate of insurance is required under Section 14-89, and non-emergency excavation is limited to March 31 through December 1. Nothing on the permits page or the form mentions dumpsters, containers or other temporary obstructions, so we found no published Falmouth rule on whether a roll-off may sit in a Town road, for how long, or at what cost. That does not mean no permit is needed. Plan on driveway or private-lot placement, and call Falmouth Public Works (101 Woods Road, 207-699-5370) before a box goes in the street. In winter, also keep in mind that the Town bans parking on Town roads from midnight to 6 a.m., November 15 to April 15, and can remove vehicles that interfere with plowing; ask Public Works how that applies to a container.

What matters locally

The Transfer Station takes bulky items on tickets but refuses construction debris

Falmouth's Transfer Station on Woods Road, on the former landfill site, is for residents with a 2026 Transfer Station/Parking sticker ($15, valid January 1 to December 31, sold at Town Hall and the Public Works office with proof of residency). Some items need green $5 disposal tickets, sold at Town Hall, Public Works, Hannaford and Shaw's in Falmouth, Town Landing Market and Waldo's General Store, but not at the station: bulky waste is one ticket under 35 pounds and two over, appliances two, tires one, and commercial brush or leaves two per pickup load. Residential leaves and brush are free. The station does not accept construction debris, concrete, bricks, shingles, sheetrock, stumps or pressure-treated wood. Hours are Tuesday and Thursday noon to 4 p.m., Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. A couch or old washer can go here for $10, but tear-out material from a renovation has to go in a rented container or to a private facility.

Curbside PAYT bags and carts cover household trash only

Casella collects Falmouth's curbside trash and single-sort recycling under a Town contract. Each home has two numbered Town carts, and trash must be in yellow Town bags: as of July 1, 2026, $5.54 for a 33-gallon bag and $3.58 for a 13-gallon bag (or $55.40 and $35.80 for ten). Anything that does not fit in a yellow bag goes to the Transfer Station, and extra bags or boxes set beside the carts are not collected. The Town's 2022 agreement with Pine Tree Waste, a Casella subsidiary, limits the contractor to household trash and recyclables from homes of three units or fewer and expressly excludes construction and demolition debris, bulky waste, white goods and commercial waste. Missed pickups go to Casella Customer Care at 207-883-9777.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Falmouth.

Will Falmouth's curbside hauler or Transfer Station take my renovation debris?

No. The Town's agreement with Pine Tree Waste (Casella) covers household trash in yellow Town bags and recyclables in Town carts, and expressly excludes construction and demolition debris, bulky waste, white goods and commercial waste. The Transfer Station on Woods Road lists all construction debris, concrete, bricks, shingles, sheetrock, stumps and pressure-treated wood as not accepted. Renovation waste needs a private container or a private disposal facility. Section 13-14 of the Town Code also requires anyone in the business of hauling solid waste generated in Falmouth to hold a Town license from the Public Works Director, so ask the rental company to confirm it is licensed.

Do I need a permit to put a dumpster on a Falmouth street?

Falmouth does not publish a dumpster rule. The Public Works permits page offers an Excavation Permit (pavement restoration at $25 per square yard, 30-day term, 24 hours' notice, certificate of insurance) for digging in the right-of-way, plus driveway, utility-location and drainage forms. None of them mentions dumpsters or containers. Call Public Works at 207-699-5370 before booking street placement.
