Dumpster rental
in Gorham.

Gorham's new Casella carts serve single-family homes and duplexes only and take no bulky items, so a renovation or cleanout needs a private roll-off. The Town licenses every refuse hauler, so ask whichever company you book to confirm it holds a current Gorham license. Bin There Dump That is the only one posting prices; Casella and WM quote on request. Keep the box on your own property unless Public Works tells you otherwise.

The first decision in Gorham

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That posts $525 to $725 for 10- to 20-yard boxes, and one of its two Gorham pages adds 1 to 2 tons included, but neither gives a rental length. Casella and WM publish no prices or terms; Casella goes up to 40 yards and WM lists 10, 20 and 30, so they are the options for larger jobs once you have written quotes.

Your local checklist
  1. Ask the rental company to confirm it holds a current Gorham refuse hauler license under Chapter 245 and that its container will carry its name, address and phone number on both long sides.
  2. Fill the box with one waste stream only: Gorham's ordinance does not allow construction and demolition debris to be mixed with household-type trash in the same roll-off.
  3. If the job needs a Gorham building or demolition permit, ask Code Enforcement whether a construction and demolition debris disposal permit is required with it, and call Public Works at (207) 222-4950 before any container goes in a Town street.

Gorham regulates how roll-offs are marked and loaded, but we found no street-placement rule

Section 245-11(G) of Gorham's solid waste ordinance, as reprinted in the order the Town Council adopted on August 4, 2026, requires every roll-on roll-off container that hauls waste, construction and demolition debris or recyclables generated in Gorham to show the hauler's company name, address and phone number on its two largest sides, and allows only one type of waste in a container at a time: household-type trash, construction and demolition debris and unacceptable waste may not be mixed. We could not find a Gorham rule on putting a dumpster in a Town street or right-of-way, such as a permit, fee, time limit or lead time. Public Works' Street Openings page lists a Street Opening Permit, a street-opening ordinance packet and an excavator's license, which cover digging in the road (applications move to the SmartGov online system after October 31, 2026). Not finding a rule does not mean no permit is needed. Plan to keep the box on your driveway or lot, and call Gorham Public Works at (207) 222-4950 before a container goes in a Town street.

What matters locally

Building or demolition permits come with a debris disposal permit

Chapter 245 designates ecomaine as Gorham's disposal facility and says solid waste generated in Gorham may only go to a designated facility. Section 245-12 says that once a construction and demolition debris facility is operating under the Town's arrangement, anyone who gets a Gorham building or demolition permit must obtain a construction and demolition debris disposal facility permit at the same time, after the Building Inspector or Code Enforcement Officer checks the site for hazardous or special wastes, and the disposal facility is to turn away debris from people without one. The same chapter fines residents $50 to $250 per violation and licensed haulers $1,000 to $5,000. If your project needs a building or demolition permit, ask Code Enforcement at that stage whether a debris disposal permit applies, and make sure your hauler takes the box to the facility the Town designates.

No curbside bulky pickup; brush days at Public Works and self-haul to ecomaine

The amended Chapter 245 defines bulky waste, such as furniture and appliances that cannot go in a cart, as material to be handled through special collection events or at approved facilities, and the carts take only what fits with the lid closed. Gorham Public Works at 80 Huston Road has held resident-only brush drop-off on two spring and two fall Saturdays (in spring 2025, April 26 and May 10, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.), with no commercial loads or stumps; leaves and grass clippings were taken through the season. Residents can also self-haul to ecomaine at 64 Blueberry Road in Portland, but only in a pickup or other truck or with a trailer; every load is weighed at the scale house and charged minimum, tonnage and special-material fees that ecomaine's page does not list, so call (207) 523-3131 first.

Questions about renting in Gorham.

Now that Gorham has Casella carts, can I still hire any company for a dumpster?

Yes, as long as the company is licensed by the Town. The amended Chapter 245 makes the Town's contracted provider the exclusive collector of residential curbside trash and recycling, and limits that service to single-family homes and two-family homes using Town-owned carts. Section 245-11 separately requires every commercial or residential refuse collector hauling Gorham waste to hold an annual license from the Town Clerk, with an ecomaine disposal agreement and insurance, and sets rules for roll-off containers. Collectors moving under 10 tons of Gorham waste a year are exempt from the license. The Council adopted the amendment 7-0 on August 4, 2026.

Will Gorham's new carts take renovation debris or furniture?

No. Each eligible home gets one 65-gallon trash cart and one 65-gallon recycling cart, emptied by an automated arm, and only what fits inside with the lid closed is collected. The ordinance sends bulky items such as furniture and appliances to special collection events or approved facilities rather than the curb. For renovation debris, a licensed roll-off or a self-haul trip to ecomaine in Portland (pickups and trailers only, weighed and charged at the scale) are the options.
