Dumpster rental
in Ipswich.

Ipswich is one of the simpler North Shore towns for a roll-off, but check one thing first. The Board of Health posts no dumpster regulation and its 2026 fee schedule has no dumpster permit; still, call Public Health to confirm before the bin arrives. Bin There Dump That is the only supplier publishing Ipswich prices: $560 to $760 for 10- to 20-yard bins with 1 to 2 tons included and a typical 7-day rental. Casella (up to 40 yards) and WM quote by phone. Because the Town Farm Road Transfer Station takes no construction debris and curbside pickup excludes it, a roll-off or a paid drop-off in Georgetown or Gloucester are the realistic options for renovation waste.

The first decision in Ipswich

Match the terms to your project.

Bin There Dump That posts flat prices, bin dimensions, included tonnage and a 7-day rental for Ipswich but tops out at 20 yards and lists no overage or extra-day rate. Casella goes up to 40 yards and WM lists 10- to 30-yard containers, but neither shows an Ipswich price, rental length or weight allowance. Get the overage and extra-day rates from all of them in writing.

Your local checklist

Call the Ipswich Public Health Department (978-356-6606) to confirm that no dumpster permit is needed for your address; if one is, it will be filed through PermitEyes.
Plan for construction debris to go in the roll-off: the Town Farm Road Transfer Station does not accept it, and Ipswich curbside collection excludes demolition debris.
If the bin can't fit in your driveway, call the DPW at Town Hall before booking to ask what permit and lighting a container on a public street needs.

No Ipswich dumpster permit was found; confirm with Public Health, and ask the DPW before using the street

Research did not turn up a dumpster-specific permit in Ipswich. The Board of Health's posted Regulations and Policies list (16 documents, including septic, private wells, body art, floor drains and fees) contains no dumpster or solid-waste regulation, and the Board's Schedule of Fees (adopted June 1, 2026, effective July 1, 2026) lists permits for septage pump-and-haul and industrial wastewater haulers but none for dumpsters or rubbish haulers. All Public Health applications go through the Town's PermitEyes online system, so if a permit is required it would be filed there. The Town's trash bylaw (Chapter 180) only requires curbside material to follow the Town's disposal contract and state recycling rules and forbids dumping rubbish on public or private land; it licenses no haulers and does not say where a rented container must be emptied. A search of the code by our editors found the word 'dumpster' only in the noise chapter, which limits the hours for emptying dumpsters. The zoning bylaw's screening rules apply to new commercial, industrial and multifamily uses and to Planning Board site-plan projects, not to a temporary roll-off at a house. No Ipswich DPW page or form for placing a container on a public street (street-occupancy or obstruction permit) was found. Keep the bin in your driveway if you can, and if it has to go in the road, call the DPW at Town Hall (978-356-6600) first and ask what permit, fee and lighting it requires.

What matters locally

The Transfer Station doesn't take construction debris; the Town points to private drop-off sites

The Ipswich Transfer Station at 180 Town Farm Road is a recycling center open Wednesdays and Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., for residents with a free transfer station sticker (from the DPW office at Town Hall; bring your registration and proof of residency) or a beach sticker. It takes brush and branches under 4 inches across and 4 feet long, scrap metal including appliances that are at least 60% metal, flattened cardboard, oil-based paint, textiles and household recycling. It takes no trash, tires or electronics. The Town's flyer says construction material, including toilets and sinks, can be dropped off for a fee at Mello Disposal in Georgetown (978-352-9948) or Hiltz in Gloucester. Mattresses must be recycled ($35 drop-off or $50 curbside, paid online through Tough Stuff Recycling).

Curbside pickup is one bag a week and a $10 bulky-item sticker; demolition debris is excluded

Under the Town's Trash Policy Directive (revised May 8, 2018), curbside collection is limited to one 35-gallon bag or barrel of up to 50 pounds per dwelling unit each week, and recycling is mandatory. Demolition debris such as wood, sheetrock, plaster, shingles and windows is specifically excluded from acceptable waste. Buildings with four or more units and businesses outside Town collection must arrange their own private disposal. Bulky items like sofas, wooden furniture and rolled carpet need a $10 sticker (sold at local stores including Aubuchon, Shaw's and Tedford's), and the Town's Recycling & Trash page says G. Mello collects them on the second Thursday of each month after you call 978-352-8581 to get on the list.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Ipswich.

Do I need a Board of Health permit for a roll-off at my Ipswich house?

None was found. The Ipswich Board of Health's posted regulations list has no dumpster regulation, and its Schedule of Fees (effective July 1, 2026) lists no dumpster or rubbish-hauler permit, unlike many nearby Merrimack Valley towns. That is not a confirmation that no permit is needed, and the Town's trash bylaw (Chapter 180) does not address dumpsters. Call the Public Health Department before delivery; any Public Health application goes through the Town's PermitEyes system.

Can I take renovation debris to the Ipswich Transfer Station instead of renting a dumpster?

No. The Transfer Station at 180 Town Farm Road is a recycling center and does not take trash or construction material. The Town's flyer classifies toilets and sinks as construction material and directs it to paid drop-off at Mello Disposal in Georgetown or Hiltz in Gloucester. The Trash Policy Directive also excludes demolition debris from curbside pickup. Scrap metal, brush under 4 inches and cardboard can still go to the Transfer Station with a resident sticker.
