Dumpster rental
in Georgetown.

Georgetown has no Town trash pickup, so a roll-off is one of the main ways to handle a cleanout or renovation here. File the Board of Health dumpster permit first: $35 for a 30-day temporary permit, with a sketch showing where the bin will sit. Bin There Dump That is the only supplier publishing Georgetown prices: $560 to $760 for 10- to 20-yard bins with 1 to 2 tons included and a typical 7-day rental. Casella quotes by phone and goes up to 40 yards. For a smaller load, call Mello's private transfer station near I-95 for its drop-off prices.

The first decision in Georgetown

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That posts flat prices, bin dimensions, included tonnage and a typical 7-day rental, but stops at 20 yards and publishes no overage or extra-day rate. Casella offers containers up to 40 yards but shows no Georgetown price, rental length or weight allowance. Ask both who files the Board of Health permit and what each extra ton and day costs, in writing.

Your local checklist

Submit the Board of Health Application for Dumpster Permit with the $35 temporary fee before delivery, including the dumpster company's name and a sketch showing the bin's distance to buildings and lot lines.
Ask the Board of Health whether your permit runs 30 days (current form) or up to 45 days (1990 regulations), and renew before it expires if the project runs long.
If the lot backs onto wetlands, keep the roll-off and any brush pile well clear of them, and ask the Highway Department before placing a bin on any Town road.

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

Bin There Dump That (Northeast Mass franchise)

Published sizes: 10-yard (10' x 7' x 4'), 15-yard (11' x 8' x 4.5') and 20-yard (11' x 8' x 6') bins.
Rental & weight terms: Included disposal weight is 1 ton (10-yard), 1.5 tons (15-yard) and 2 tons (20-yard). The Northeast Mass rates page gives a typical 7-day rental included in the price, with longer periods on request. It says overfilling can lead to additional charges but publishes no per-ton overage or extra-day rate; request a written quote. Hazardous materials and food waste are not accepted, and debris must not rise above the top edge.
Price basis: $560 (10-yard), $660 (15-yard), $760 (20-yard), as shown on the Georgetown page and the Northeast Mass rates page. Phone 866-800-2073.

The Georgetown page names Georgetown in its headings and body, but its page title and one heading still say Amesbury. Georgetown is also listed under Areas Served on the Northeast Mass page. Neither page gives a street address for the franchise. Its largest bin is 20 yards. Ask whether the company files the Board of Health dumpster permit or whether you must, and confirm it holds a Board of Health hauler license.

Get a Board of Health dumpster permit before any Georgetown roll-off arrives; no Town street-placement permit for dumpsters was found

The Georgetown Board of Health's current Application for Dumpster Permit (2026 revision) has a 30 Day Temporary option at $35 and a yearly residential/commercial permit at $100. The 2025-2026 Board of Health fee schedule (effective July 1, 2025) lists the same amounts. The full fee must be paid when you apply. The form asks for the property owner, the dumpster company and its phone number, and a pick-up schedule. On the back you sketch the lot, mark where the dumpster will go and give its distance to buildings and lot lines. The Board signs to approve or disapprove and writes in the expiration date. The Board's Dumpster Regulations (Georgetown Code Chapter 415, adopted April 25, 1990) apply to all dumpsters in town, whether residential, commercial or industrial. They require the Board to approve each location, and they allow the Board to require enclosure or screening when it deems that necessary. The 1990 text allows a temporary permit of up to 45 days for construction, demolition or similar temporary needs, renewable for another 30 days, at $5 per dumpster. The current form says 30 days and $35, so ask the Board which term applies. Georgetown's Highway Department lists only an Excavation Permit on its permits page. No Town permit for placing a dumpster in a street or right-of-way was found. That does not mean street placement is allowed: ask the Highway Department (978-352-5710) and the Board of Health before putting a bin on a Town road, or keep it on your own driveway. The Board of Health is at Town Hall, 1 Library Street (978-352-5720), Monday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to noon.

What matters locally

Georgetown has no Town curbside pickup, and the local transfer station is run by a private company

The Town FAQ says Georgetown does not have public curbside pick-up. It sends questions about transfer station hours to G. Mello Disposal (978-352-8581 or 978-352-9948) instead of listing them. Each household hires its own hauler for regular trash. The local paper, The Town Common, reported in May 2025 that Mello's new transfer station off Carleton Drive near I-95 would accept construction waste as well as household and commercial trash, and in April 2026 that the station had been open for about two months. Neither the Town nor the articles publish resident drop-off rates or C&D prices. Call Mello for current hours and per-load prices before deciding a small cleanout needs a roll-off.

Yard waste can't be dumped in Georgetown wetland areas

Georgetown has extensive wetlands along the Parker River and its tributaries. The Town FAQ says yard waste should be taken off site or composted more than 25 feet from wetland resource areas. It adds that yard waste dumped in a wetland resource area counts as fill and is strictly prohibited. Brush and leaves from a yard cleanup belong in the roll-off (if your supplier accepts them) or should go off site, not over the back edge of a wet lot. The same FAQ says used motor oil can go back to the store where you bought it.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Georgetown.

Do I need a permit for a roll-off in my own Georgetown driveway?

Yes. The Board of Health's Dumpster Regulations (Code Chapter 415) apply to all dumpsters in town, residential included, and the Board approves each location. The current Application for Dumpster Permit has a 30-day temporary option for $35. The form asks for the dumpster company, a pick-up schedule and a sketch of the lot with the bin's distance to buildings and lot lines, and the fee is due when you apply.

Will Georgetown make me fence or screen a temporary roll-off?

Not automatically. Chapter 415 lets the Board of Health require a dumpster site to be enclosed or screened only when it deems that necessary, so ask when you apply. The zoning bylaw's dumpster screening standard is part of Planning Board site plan review, which exempts single- and two-family homes. Its limit on storage containers in residential districts covers containers kept 30 days or more for storage and excludes construction containers. Keep a short-term debris bin within its permit period and tarp it to avoid nuisance complaints.
