Dumpster rental
in Halfway.

Halfway has no town government, so Washington County rules apply, and the County requires solid-waste haulers to hold a County licence. No County dumpster permit for houses was found, but the County removes construction materials left in its road rights-of-way, so the bin belongs on your driveway or yard. Debris you haul yourself costs $78 a ton at Forty West Landfill; the residential trash permit does not cover it.

The first decision in Halfway

Start with an eligible hauler.

J&P Dumpster Rentals runs a Hagerstown yard and publishes full prices ($300 to $525), included tonnage, 7- to 14-day rentals, $10 extra days and $99-per-ton overage, with sizes from 10 to 30 yards. Apple Valley Waste, based in Kearneysville, West Virginia, offers only 15- and 30-yard roll-offs for Washington County and publishes no prices or terms, so it needs a written quote before you can compare.

Your local checklist
  1. Check the State property record for your parcel: a Hagerstown mailing address in Halfway is usually unincorporated County land, but if the parcel is inside Hagerstown city limits the City's 14-day residential dumpster limit applies.
  2. If you live on US 11, MD 63 or another numbered State route, keep the roll-off fully on your property or contact SHA District 6 about a State permit; on a County road, call the Division of Engineering (240-313-2460) before anything touches the right-of-way.
  3. Ask each company to confirm its Washington County hauler licence, the included tons and days, overage and extra-day rates, and that the debris goes to Forty West or another approved facility; check any subdivision covenants on driveway containers.

Halfway dumpster: keep it on your lot; Washington County removes construction materials left in County rights-of-way; US 11 and MD 63 go to SHA District 6

Because Halfway is unincorporated, Washington County governs a roll-off here. No County permit for a temporary dumpster at a house was found. The County's Division of Engineering has issued a Right of Way Notice saying construction-related materials, supplies or unlicensed equipment placed or stored in County-owned and maintained rights-of-way are subject to immediate removal without further notice, at the owner's cost; questions go to the Division of Engineering, 80 West Baltimore Street, Hagerstown (240-313-2460). In practice, keep the bin on your driveway or yard, and call Engineering before booking if it would have to touch a County road. The County zoning ordinance's dumpster and refuse-screening standards (Division XI, § 22.11.2, and the business-district design standards) apply to development under site plan review, and § 4.11 says single-family and two-family houses do not require a site plan. For homes on a numbered State route such as US 11 or MD 63, the State Highway Administration requires a permit for activities in the State right-of-way; Washington County is in SHA District 6, 1251 Vocke Road, La Vale (301-729-8465). If your address is inside Hagerstown city limits, City Code § 117-9.1 applies instead: a dumpster at a residence is allowed only temporarily, up to 14 days (or while a valid construction permit is in effect), and not in the public right-of-way without City approval.

Any County resident may cross the scales for cash, check or card without a permit: $55 a ton for household waste, $78 a ton for construction and demolition debris, $63 a ton for yard debris, with a $10 minimum scale fee.

No County curbside pickup; mattresses, appliances and scrap metal have their own rates

Washington County residents arrange trash and curbside recycling through private haulers; the County's 2026 Citizen's Guide names Apple Valley Waste, Republic Industries and Waste Management for curbside recycling. At Forty West, mattresses and box springs are $5 each, Freon appliances $5 each, car and light-truck tires $3 each (up to five), and scrap-metal items such as washers, dryers and water heaters are taken free. The County's four convenience centers take permit trash and recyclables only, not debris.

Questions about renting in Halfway.

Does Washington County pick up trash or bulky items in Halfway?

No. Residents arrange trash and curbside recycling through private haulers; the County's Citizen's Guide lists Apple Valley Waste, Republic Industries and Waste Management for curbside recycling. You can also buy a County permit to drop off ordinary household trash, but that permit excludes construction debris, roofing, furniture, mattresses and other bulky items, so a large cleanout usually means a roll-off or a paid trip across the landfill scales.

What does it cost to take Halfway remodeling debris to the landfill myself?

Forty West Landfill, 12630 Earth Care Road, charges $78 a ton for construction and demolition debris, with a $10 minimum scale fee, and takes cash, check or card from any County resident without a permit. It is open Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., but you must be on the inbound scales by 3 p.m. County licensing rules also require hauled loads to be secured and covered.
