Dumpster rental
in Hudson.

Hudson's Town curbside service is an optional cart subscription, and cart trash excludes brick, concrete, appliances and yard waste, so renovation debris or a large cleanout usually means renting a roll-off. Unlike many towns, Hudson's Board of Health requires a Dumpster Permit for every dumpster, issued to the property owner; a temporary permit runs up to 30 days and can be renewed, and the older posted fee for a home with up to 4 units is $25. Temporary bins do not need lids unless the Board orders a cover, but in a Zone A or Zone II water-protection area the bin must sit on pavement or another impervious surface. A bin in the street needs a separate DPW permit. Bin There Dump That posts Hudson prices from $395 to $700 (20 yards, 3 tons included); Casella quotes by phone.

The first decision in Hudson

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That publishes Hudson prices, bin dimensions, included tonnage (1 to 3 tons) and a 7-day busy-season or 14-day off-season term, and it offers small 4- and 6-yard bins limited to masonry, but its largest bin is 20 yards. Casella offers containers up to 40 yards but posts no Hudson price, weight allowance or rental length. Neither company says on its page whether it handles Hudson's Board of Health dumpster permit, so ask each one.

Your local checklist

Before delivery, get a Temporary Dumpster Permit in the property owner's name through the Town's OpenGov portal; it lasts up to 30 days, so ask about renewal if the job will run longer (Health Department 978-562-2020).
Check the Town's GIS maps or ask the Health Department whether your lot is in a Zone A or Zone II water-supply area; if so, the bin must sit on pavement or another impervious surface, not gravel or lawn.
Keep the bin on your driveway if you can; a roll-off in a Hudson street needs a DPW permit under General By-Law Article VI, Section 20, with lights from sunset to sunrise (DPW 978-562-9333).

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Bin There Dump That (Central Massachusetts franchise)

Published sizes: 4-yard (10' x 5.5' x 2'), 6-yard (10' x 5.5' x 3'), 10-yard (10' x 7' x 4'), 15-yard (11' x 8' x 4.5') and 20-yard (11' x 8' x 6') bins. The 4- and 6-yard bins are for masonry materials only (brick, concrete, asphalt, pavers, gravel and similar).
Rental & weight terms: Included disposal weight is 1 ton for the 10-yard, 2 tons for the 15-yard and 3 tons for the 20-yard; none is listed for the masonry-only 4- and 6-yard bins. The Central Massachusetts rates page gives a typical rental of 7 days in the busy season and 14 days in the slower season, with longer rentals on request. No per-ton overage or extra-day rate is published; request a written quote. Mattresses ($150 each), tires and TVs carry extra fees, and hazardous waste, liquids, paint, asbestos and soil are not accepted.
Price basis: $395 (4-yard), $425 (6-yard), $445 (10-yard), $555 (15-yard), $700 (20-yard), as listed on the Hudson page and the Central Massachusetts rates page, which also say pricing varies with location and contents. Residential service includes delivery, pickup and driveway protection. Phone 978-582-1176.

The page is headed "Dumpster Rentals in Hudson by Bin There Dump That" (one sub-heading mistakenly says Acton). The Central Massachusetts franchise page lists Hudson under Areas Served and gives a Fitchburg address (615 South St.). Hudson's Board of Health requires every commercial solid waste hauler to hold an annual permit but does not post a hauler list; ask the company whether it holds a current Hudson permit, or call the Health Department at 978-562-2020.

Every Hudson dumpster needs a permit in the property owner's name; a bin in the street also needs a DPW permit

Section 7 of the Board of Health's Solid Waste Disposal Regulation #10-1 says no dumpster may be used or kept in Hudson unless the Board has issued a Dumpster Permit to the owner of the property where it sits. The regulation defines a temporary dumpster as one used for temporary collection of solid waste, such as construction or demolition waste, for up to 30 consecutive days; a Temporary Dumpster Permit is valid for up to 30 days and may be renewed. The property owner is responsible for placement and upkeep, and the bin must not affect vehicular traffic and must meet state fire-prevention rules. Permanent dumpsters need tight-fitting lids, but temporary dumpsters only have to be covered when the Board or its agent decides it is necessary. The Board may require an enclosure or screening when it deems it necessary, and every dumpster in a Zone A or Zone II water-supply protection area must sit on an impervious surface such as a paved driveway. The Health Department's Solid Waste page says the dumpster application is made online through the Town's OpenGov permitting portal and describes the Hudson Fire Department as the office that licenses temporary and permanent dumpsters; the regulation itself names the Board of Health. The Health Department's posted fee schedule (an older spreadsheet dated 2015) lists a $25 dumpster permit for a residential property with up to 4 units; confirm the current fee and which office signs off by calling the Health Department at 978-562-2020. For the street, General By-Law Article VI, Section 20 says anyone altering, repairing or taking down a building who wants to place building materials or rubbish in a street must notify the Director of Public Works, who may grant a permit of up to 60 days with conditions, security and lights from sunset to sunrise. Call the DPW at 978-562-9333 (1 Municipal Drive) before asking for street placement.

What matters locally

Town curbside service is an optional B-P Trucking subscription for carts only

The Town contracts B-P Trucking, Inc. for curbside trash and recycling, but only property owners of single-family and 2- to 3-unit homes who register with the DPW get it. Service is two 65-gallon carts, one for trash and one for single-stream recycling, collected weekly, and costs $110 a quarter on the water and sewer bill. The Town's prohibited-items page bars asphalt, brick and concrete, appliances, tires, yard waste, mattresses and box springs, CRT televisions and monitors, mercury devices and textiles from the trash. A renovation or big cleanout does not fit in a cart, so it needs a roll-off or a private hauler. Curbside questions go to 978-562-9333 ext. 349 or B-P Trucking at 508-881-0972.

Cox Street Transfer Station takes household waste and recycling with a $10 tag; hazardous waste goes to twice-yearly events

B-P Trucking runs the Town's Transfer Station at 300 Cox Street under contract. It is open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and recycling there is free for all Hudson residents. Entry requires a Transfer Station tag ($10 a year at the DPW, 1 Municipal Drive, or online; free for residents 65 and older and veterans). Mattresses and box springs cost $30 each by voucher. The Town posts its current price list (effective December 1, 2025) only as an image, so this guide could not read rates for bulky items or debris; ask B-P Trucking (508-231-1000). Household hazardous waste is not accepted there; Hudson and Marlborough hold free spring and fall collection days for Hudson residents, and NEDT in Sutton takes household hazardous waste for a fee between events.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Hudson.

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

Yes. Section 7 of the Board of Health's Solid Waste Disposal Regulation #10-1 says no dumpster may be used or kept in Hudson without a Dumpster Permit issued to the owner of the property where it sits. A Temporary Dumpster Permit, for bins kept up to 30 consecutive days, is valid for up to 30 days and can be renewed. The Town's Solid Waste page links the application on the OpenGov permitting portal. The Health Department's posted fee schedule, which dates from 2015, lists $25 for a residential property with up to 4 units, so confirm the current fee at 978-562-2020.

Does a temporary dumpster in Hudson need a lid or a fence?

Not automatically. The Board of Health regulation requires tight-fitting lids on dumpsters but makes an exception for temporary dumpsters, which must be covered only when the Board or its agent decides it is necessary, and it lets the Board order an enclosure or screening only when it deems one necessary. A tarp is a sensible way to be ready for a cover order, though the regulation does not mention tarps. The zoning by-law asks for screened waste receptacles only on site plans for development projects. One rule does apply to every dumpster: in a Zone A or Zone II water-supply protection area it must be placed on an impervious surface.
