Dumpster rental
in Jefferson.

Jefferson has no curbside pickup, and its shared transfer station is in Nobleboro, where construction debris costs 13 cents a pound ($260 a ton) on the scale. A few pickup loads are cheap to haul yourself. A gut renovation, roof tear-off or camp cleanout usually calls for a roll-off. Riverside Disposal and Casella both name Jefferson but post no prices, so get written quotes. Keep the container on your own property, and book around spring road postings.

The first decision in Jefferson

Match the terms to your project.

Neither company publishes a Jefferson price, rental length or weight allowance, so written quotes are the only way to compare. Riverside has its own Jefferson page, gives exact dimensions for 15-, 20- and 30-yard containers and lists which items cost extra. Casella goes up to 40 yards and spells out clearance needs (22 feet overhead, 34 feet of straight approach) that matter on narrow, tree-lined camp roads around Damariscotta Lake, but its Jefferson page has no local detail.

Your local checklist

Before a March to May delivery, ask the Town Office (207-549-7401) whether your road is posted, and ask the hauler whether its loaded truck is allowed on it.
Choose a firm driveway spot with 22 feet of overhead clearance under the trees, and don't cut a new entrance onto a Town road without the $50 driveway permit.
Price the self-haul option: weigh debris at the Nobleboro-Jefferson station at 13 cents a pound before 3:30 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, and drop mattresses ($10) and Freon appliances ($15) there instead of in the roll-off.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Casella Waste Systems

Published sizes: Up to 40 cubic yards ("up to 16 truck loads"). The page's container comparison table is empty, so individual sizes are not published.
Rental & weight terms: The page says most rentals include a standard period and that it is flexible, but it gives no length. Included weight, overage and extra-day rates are not published; request a written quote.
Price basis: Not published. Casella says price depends on size, location and rental length, and that one flat rate covers the container, delivery and pickup. Phone 800-227-3552; questions 802-683-3984 (weekdays 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

The page is headed Dumpster Rental in Jefferson, ME but has no Jefferson-specific details. It asks for at least 3 feet of clearance on each side, 22 feet overhead and 34 feet of straight approach. Keep the drop spot off soft ground and grass, clear of low branches and wires, and salt or sand it before a winter delivery.

No Jefferson dumpster permit was found; plan on driveway placement and check spring road postings

No Jefferson form, fee or ordinance section written for dumpsters or roll-offs on a road or right-of-way was found. The Town's ordinance list includes no street-use or public-way obstruction ordinance, so this guide cannot say whether a container may sit on a Town road. Don't take that as permission. Keep the container in your own driveway or yard. Two Town rules affect delivery. First, the Ordinance Restricting Vehicle Weight on Posted Ways (adopted March 25, 2019) lets the Select Board post weight limits on Town roads and bridges, usually in spring. While a road is posted, trucks registered over 23,000 pounds may not drive it loaded unless an exemption applies or the Select Board issues a permit, and fines run $250 to $1,000. One exemption covers two-axle trucks registered up to 34,000 pounds that carry solid waste, but many roll-off trucks have more axles, so ask your hauler whether your road is posted and whether its truck qualifies. Second, any new driveway or entrance onto a Town road needs the Town's $50 Driveway or Road Entrance application, signed off by the Road Commissioner and Code Enforcement Officer, so don't cut a new access just for the drop. Numbered routes are state highways; ask MaineDOT about those. Call the Town Office at 58 Washington Road (207-549-7401) before booking if the container would touch a Town road.

What matters locally

Construction debris at the Nobleboro-Jefferson station is weighed and priced by the pound

Jefferson residents use the Nobleboro-Jefferson Transfer Station at 25 Transfer Lane, off Center Street in Nobleboro. It is open Tuesday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The scale closes at 3:30 p.m. and the gate at 3:50 p.m. The price list effective December 1, 2025 charges 13 cents a pound for construction debris, which works out to $260 a ton. Debris from outside the five member towns is 17 cents a pound, and there is a $1 demo minimum. Demolition loads are weighed on the scale before and after unloading. Brush is 5 cents a pound, and metal is free. Charge accounts are billed through the Nobleboro Town Office. Call the station at 207-563-1610 to confirm current rates and what proof of residency it asks for.

Mattresses, furniture, tires and Freon appliances have per-item prices

The same December 2025 list sets per-item charges. A mattress is $10, a box spring $10, a couch $10 and a stuffed chair $8. A refrigerator or floor freezer, an air conditioner or a dehumidifier is $15. A tire alone is $5, $7 on a rim and $30 if oversized. A porcelain tub is $10, a fiberglass tub $4, a toilet $7, a porcelain sink $4 and a rug or carpet $6. A TV is $5. The station's 2026 brochure says the compactors are for household trash only, with no wood or metal. Gas, oil, antifreeze, pesticides and spray paint are taken only on Hazardous Waste Day. Liquid latex and oil-based paint go through the paint program; see the attendant. Roll-off companies usually charge extra for Freon items and tires, so these may cost less dropped off at the station.

Questions about renting in Jefferson.

Does debris from a Jefferson project have to go to the Nobleboro-Jefferson Transfer Station?

No such requirement was found. The Town's posted ordinance list has no solid-waste or hauler-licensing ordinance, and nothing on it sends construction debris to the station. The station's own records show commercial haulers bring loads there, but they don't make it mandatory. The station charges 13 cents a pound for construction debris from its five member towns and 17 cents for debris from elsewhere. Ask your roll-off company where it will dump your load.

Can a roll-off truck reach my house during mud season?

It depends on whether your road is posted. Jefferson's 2019 weight ordinance lets the Select Board post Town roads and bridges. While a road is posted, trucks registered over 23,000 pounds may not drive it loaded unless an exemption applies or the Select Board grants a permit, and fines run $250 to $1,000. Two-axle trucks registered up to 34,000 pounds that carry solid waste are exempt, but heavier roll-off trucks may not be, so a full container could have to wait until the posting is lifted. Check postings with the Town Office before you book.
