Dumpster rental
in Gardiner.

Gardiner has no City trash service, so a roll-off is a private deal with a hauler. Bin There Dump That is the only company we found that posts Gardiner prices; Riverside Disposal in Chelsea is a City-listed hauler with larger 15- to 30-yard boxes but no posted rates. Gardiner has no published dumpster permit for streets, so keep the box on your own property or call Public Works first. For a single truckload, Hatch Hill's per-ton gate fees or the spring curbside pickup may cost less than a rental.

The first decision in Gardiner

Start with an eligible hauler.

BTDT posts flat prices ($525 to $725) for 10- to 20-yard bins with a typical 7-day rental, but it publishes no weight allowance and tops out at 20 yards. Riverside is close by in Chelsea and offers 15-, 20- and 30-yard roll-offs, but posts no prices, rental days or weight limits. Get both quotes in writing with tonnage and day limits.

Your local checklist

Confirm the property is inside the City of Gardiner. West Gardiner, Farmingdale, Pittston and Randolph are separate towns with their own rules, and Hatch Hill access paid for by the City covers Gardiner residents only.
Before a roll-off goes in a City street or on a sidewalk, call Gardiner Public Works (207-582-4200 ext. 1101). The street-opening permit on the City's forms page is for excavation, and we found no posted dumpster permit, fee or time limit.
Ask the hauler whether it holds a current City of Gardiner Solid Waste Collection license, and get the included tonnage, overage rate and extra-day charge in writing (neither company publishes them).

Franchise location of a national brand, run from Westbrook (700 Stroudwater St) with a Gardiner service-area page. For homeowners it says delivery, pickup and driveway protection are included. Its Portland page bars propane tanks, paint, batteries, tires, motor oil, ammunition and household chemicals, and warns that overfilling can cost extra. Nothing about Gardiner permits. Westbrook is a long drive from Gardiner, so confirm there is no distance charge.

Hauler based at 700 River Road in nearby Chelsea. Gardiner appears on its list of service towns, and the City's Trash & Recycling page lists Riverside among its licensed haulers. It does not take hazardous liquids such as gas, oil, paint or household chemicals, and it charges separately for universal waste and Freon items (TVs, computers, tires, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners). Its boxes have no door, so everything is loaded over the top.

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.

No dumpster-specific street permit found; Gardiner's street-opening permit is for digging, not containers

Gardiner's permits page and Code Enforcement fee schedule list no dumpster, container, obstruction or street-use permit. The closest form is the Driveway/Address/Street Opening Permit (Form 05, $25 on the form; the undated fee schedule charges street openings in the City right-of-way at $25 per square yard paved or $9 per square yard gravel). That form asks for opening dimensions, backfill, surfacing and Dig Safe numbers and is approved by Public Works, so it is written for excavation, not for parking a roll-off. Not finding a permit does not mean none is needed. Keep the container on your own driveway or lot if you can, and before anything goes in a City street or on a sidewalk, call Gardiner Public Works (207-582-4200 ext. 1101) to ask what approval, fee and time limit apply. State highways through the city fall under Maine DOT, not the City.

What matters locally

Hatch Hill in Augusta takes Gardiner residents' waste, with posted per-ton gate fees

The City pays an annual fee so Gardiner residents can use Augusta's Hatch Hill landfill. Residents who haul their own loads buy a permit (sold at Hatch Hill or Augusta City Hall) and pay a tipping fee each visit; household single-stream recycling and residential leaves and yard waste go in free. The gate-fee sheet the City posts (dated September 1, 2024) lists rubbish at $105 per ton ($12 minimum), no-sort mixed construction and demolition debris at $125 per ton ($15 minimum) plus a $5-per-ton state tax, clean lumber for recycling at $80 per ton, brush at $40 per ton, scrap metal and white goods at $30 per ton, $25 per residential refrigerant unit, and $4 each for up to seven small tires. For a small cleanout, one truckload to Hatch Hill can cost far less than a roll-off. Call Hatch Hill (207-626-2440) to confirm current fees.

Spring Clean Up tickets cover curbside bulky items, metal and brush

Each spring, Gardiner Public Works collects bulky items, metals (including appliances), paper-bagged leaves and brush under 2 inches thick from the curb. In 2026 it needed a $30 ticket from City Hall, on sale from March 23, plus $15 for each electronic item. Pickups ran by voting district from late April to late May. Tires, vehicle batteries, fluorescent bulbs, Freon appliances, liquids and hazardous waste were not taken. The City's Trash & Recycling page also points residents to an annual spring household hazardous waste day in Augusta, with registration and payment at Gardiner City Hall.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Gardiner.

Does the City of Gardiner pick up trash or rent roll-off dumpsters?

No. The City's Trash & Recycling page says Gardiner does not provide trash or recycling collection, and residents and businesses arrange it with a City-licensed hauler. Chapter 5.8 of the City Code requires anyone collecting or transporting rubbish for pay in Gardiner to hold a City license, with vehicle registration, inspection and insurance on file and a permit sticker on each truck, and sends rubbish collected in Gardiner to Hatch Hill. The license application lists the Solid Waste Collection license at $25 plus $5 per additional truck.

Can I take my own cleanout or renovation debris to the landfill instead of renting a dumpster?

Yes. Gardiner residents can use Hatch Hill in Augusta, which the City pays into each year. Self-haulers need a Hatch Hill permit and pay per visit. The September 2024 gate-fee sheet the City posts lists $105 per ton for rubbish and $125 per ton for mixed demolition debris, with $12 and $15 minimums, plus state taxes. Leaves, yard waste and household recycling are free. Confirm current rates with Hatch Hill before you load up.
