Dumpster rental
in Leeds.

Leeds has no Town curbside pickup, and the Ridge Road transfer station opens only Wednesdays and Saturdays. Its free demolition dumpster (April to October) is limited to non-commercial loads that one person can lift, and it closes for the winter. Contractor jobs, winter projects and anything bigger than a few trips call for a roll-off. Riverside Disposal and Casella both name Leeds but post no prices. Keep the container on your own lot, since no Town road-placement rule was found.

The first decision in Leeds

Match the terms to your project.

Neither company posts a Leeds price, rental length or weight allowance, so written quotes are the only real comparison. Riverside has its own Leeds page, lists exact 15-, 20- and 30-yard dimensions and also offers curbside pickup and demolition service in town. Casella offers sizes up to 40 yards and publishes clearance needs (22 feet overhead, 34 feet of straight approach) worth checking on long rural driveways, but its Leeds page has no local detail.

Your local checklist
  1. Choose a firm, level spot on your own lot with 22 feet of overhead clearance, away from the septic field and soft lakefront or riverbank ground. Don't put it in a Town road or Route 106 without asking the Town Office or MaineDOT first.
  2. Ask Riverside and Casella for written quotes that state rental days, included tonnage, per-ton overage, per-item charges for tires and Freon appliances, and where the load will be disposed of.
  3. For a small, non-commercial cleanout between April and October, compare the free demolition dumpster at the Ridge Road station: buy the 50-cent pass at the Town Office, get a permit for each tire, and take brush and wood waste to the Lewiston or Auburn facilities instead.

Up to 40 cubic yards ("up to 16 truck loads"). The page's size comparison table shows only column headings, so individual sizes are not published.

No Leeds dumpster or road-placement permit was found; keep the roll-off on your own lot

No Leeds ordinance section, form or fee written for dumpsters or roll-offs on a Town road or right-of-way was found. The Town's Street Construction Ordinance (Article IV, last amended June 7, 2014) sets design and construction standards for new streets and common driveways and does not address placing objects or containers in a road. The Zoning Ordinance and the Article X definitions (amended April 5, 2025) do not mention dumpsters, roll-offs or containers. The one road-related permit the Town publishes is the Application for Driveway Entrance (January 2025), a $500 permit for a new entrance onto a Town road, signed off by the road foreman or public works director and the Code Enforcement Officer. Don't cut a new access just to get a container in. Not finding a dumpster rule does not mean road placement is allowed: plan to set the container in your own driveway or yard, and call the Town Office (207-524-5171) or the Highway Department (207-524-5101) before booking if it would sit on or next to a Town road. Route 106 and other numbered routes are state highways, so ask MaineDOT about those.

What matters locally

Ridge Road transfer station: free demolition dumpster April to October, residents only

The Leeds Transfer Station on Ridge Road is open Wednesdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (8 a.m. to 4 p.m. from November through March). Entry requires a Leeds Transfer Station pass, 50 cents at the Town Office and one per household, and household trash must go in Leeds bags ($2 each or $18 for ten). From April through October, weather permitting, a demolition dumpster is available at no charge for non-commercial use. Pieces must be small enough for one person to handle, nothing can be bagged or boxed, and cardboard and household trash are refused. If it is full you come back the next open day. The Town's pamphlet says furniture is taken only while that dumpster is out. The Landfill Ordinance limits the Town facility to waste generated in Leeds.

Tires need a Town Office permit; brush, wood waste and some items go to Lewiston or Auburn

Tires are accepted only with a permit bought for each tire at the Town Office, and rims must be removed. Refrigerators, freezers and other Freon items are accepted only with a sticker showing the Freon was removed, and doors must come off. The station does not take brush, oil-based paint, computer monitors, asbestos shingles, auto parts or hazardous waste. The Town's pamphlet sends Freon removal, brush, demolition wood and shingles (listed at 5 cents a pound) to Maine Waste-to-Energy at 110 Goldwaite Road in Auburn, and wood waste to KTI BioFuels at 38 Alfred A. Plourde Parkway in Lewiston (listed at about $25 a pickup load or $42 a ton). The pamphlet is undated, so confirm current prices with those facilities. Riverside charges per item for tires and Freon appliances in a roll-off, so these may be cheaper to drop off yourself.

Questions about renting in Leeds.

Can my contractor use the Leeds transfer station's demolition dumpster instead of renting one?

Not for a commercial job. The Town says the demolition dumpster, available April through October, is free but for non-commercial use only, takes only items one person can handle, and refuses bagged items, cardboard and household trash. The 1989 Landfill Ordinance also limits the Town facility to waste generated in Leeds. A contractor's remodel or demolition debris belongs in a rented roll-off or at a private disposal site.

Does Leeds require a permit or screening for a roll-off at my house?

None was found. The Zoning Ordinance and its definitions do not mention dumpsters or roll-offs. Its screening standards for exposed storage and refuse areas are site plan review standards, and Section 5.B.2 exempts detached single-family and two-family homes from site plan review. Leeds also has no hauler license that we could find. The Town does charge $500 for a new driveway entrance onto a Town road, and no rule was found that allows containers in the road, so keep the roll-off in your own driveway and call the Code Enforcement Officer (207-524-2754) if your project is under Planning Board review.
