Maine / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Lewiston.

Lewiston's Cart2Curb carts take bagged household trash only, and the City never collects bulky items or renovation debris, so a cleanout or remodel means a roll-off or trips to the River Road facility. Bin There Dump That is the only one of the three companies that posts prices. Casella and WM quote on request. If the box has to sit in the street, file a Street Occupancy Permit at City Hall at least 48 hours ahead, with proof of insurance.

The first decision in Lewiston

Match the terms to your project.

Bin There Dump That posts flat prices ($525 to $725) and dimensions for 10- to 20-yard boxes but no rental length or weight allowance. Casella goes up to 40 yards and spells out its truck clearance needs, and WM lists 10, 20 and 30 yards. Both quote by phone. None of the three posts included tonnage, so ask each for it in writing before choosing on price.

Your local checklist

Get the rental days, included tons and per-ton overage in writing from Bin There Dump That, Casella and WM; none of them posts these for Lewiston.
For a container in the street, on the sidewalk or in a parking space, file the Street Occupancy Permit at City Hall (27 Pine Street) at least 48 hours ahead, with liability insurance and a traffic plan. Budget for $75 plus $5 a day per space, and arrange a police detail on Lisbon, Main, Sabattus or Russell Street.
Before renting for a small job, check your EZCard balance: the first 1,000 pounds a year at 420 River Road are free for card holders. Bring a copy of the contractor permit with any construction debris, because the facility asks for it under Section 62-19.

Casella is also the City's curbside cart contractor under Cart2Curb; that contract does not make it the required roll-off provider.

A street or sidewalk spot needs a City Street Occupancy Permit, filed at City Hall 48 hours ahead

Section 66-76 of the Lewiston Code bars obstructing any street or sidewalk with construction work or obstructions of any kind without a written permit from the Director of Public Works, and Section 66-71 bars placing rubbish or any obstruction on a sidewalk unless the chapter allows it. The City's Street and Sidewalk Occupancy Policy (updated May 16, 2023) is how that permit is issued. It covers contractors, businesses and residents who occupy a street, shoulder, parking space, alley or sidewalk. It does not mention dumpsters by name, but a roll-off in the street falls within that scope. You file the Occupancy Permit Application at the Business Office in City Hall, 27 Pine Street, at least 48 hours before the start date. Public Works, Police and Fire review it, and you pick up the approved permit in person. You need proof of liability insurance ($500,000 bodily injury and $100,000 property damage, combined single limit) and a traffic or pedestrian control plan that meets the MUTCD and keeps a 48-inch accessible path. Fees are a one-time origination fee plus a daily charge: $75 plus $5 a day per space for the street (with shoulder or non-metered parking), $75 plus $10 a day per metered space, $40 plus $2.50 a day for a sidewalk or road shoulder alone, and $50 plus $5 a day for an alley, capped at $325 a month. Work on Lisbon, Main, Sabattus and Russell Streets and part of East Avenue needs a police detail, and occupying the right-of-way without a permit draws fines starting at $100. In winter the City declares a parking ban for each plowable storm and tows vehicles left in the street, so ask Public Works how a permitted container is handled during a ban. Questions go to 207-513-3000 or PlanningCode@lewistonmaine.gov.

What matters locally

The City's River Road facility takes renovation debris, and EZCard holders get 1,000 pounds a year at no charge

Lewiston's Solid Waste Facility at 420 River Road is open Monday to Friday 7:15 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and Saturday 8 to 11:50 a.m. The City's EZCard page lists construction and demolition waste, kitchen appliances, furniture and bedding, carpeting and yard debris among the materials residents bring there. Owner-occupants of Lewiston homes who are current on taxes and fees get a free EZCard each year, and tenants (and multi-unit owners on City collection) can buy one for $25. The card covers disposal fees on up to 1,000 pounds a year. Anything over that is paid at the scale by debit or credit card only, and the City does not post its per-ton rate online, so call 207-513-3006 first. The facility accepts only waste generated in Lewiston (Section 62-16). Under Section 62-19, a hauler bringing construction and demolition debris must show a copy of the contractor permit for the project each time. Loads must be covered or tied down, and an unsecured load is charged double the disposal fee (Section 62-20).

No curbside bulky pickup; household hazardous waste goes through the AVCOG depot

The Cart2Curb resource guide says bulky items have never been allowed at the curb and must go to the Solid Waste Facility. Casella will not take anything left beside a cart or sticking out from under the lid, and Section 62-13(d) says the City will not collect bulky waste, construction and demolition debris, scrap metal or wood at any time. For household hazardous waste such as pesticides, fuels, pool chemicals and solvent-based cleaners, Lewiston pays for a resident's first two units (up to 5 gallons of liquid or 20 pounds of dry waste each) at the regional depot run with the Androscoggin Valley Council of Governments. Each extra unit costs $37.50, cash or check only, and businesses are not accepted. Call AVCOG at 783-9186 for depot dates. The City sends old paint to Sherwin-Williams at 1168 Lisbon Street.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Lewiston.

Will Lewiston's Cart2Curb trash pickup take furniture or renovation debris?

No. Cart2Curb collects only bagged household trash inside the Casella-provided cart with the lid closed, and Casella leaves anything beside or on top of the cart. Section 62-13(d) of the City Code says the City will not collect bulky waste, construction and demolition debris, scrap metal or wood at any time, and the Cart2Curb guide sends bulky items to the Solid Waste Facility at 420 River Road. Section 62-3 reserves curbside pickup of household garbage to the City's designated contractor. Section 62-4 lets residents use the facility or a private hauler, and the City repealed its private-collector licensing article in 2016, so a renovation roll-off from a private company does not conflict with the City's cart contract.

Do I need a permit to put a dumpster on a Lewiston street?

Yes, if it sits anywhere in the public right-of-way. Section 66-76 requires a written permit from the Director of Public Works before anyone obstructs a street or sidewalk, and the City issues it as a Street Occupancy Permit through the Business Office at City Hall. File at least 48 hours ahead with proof of insurance and a traffic or pedestrian control plan. Fees start at $75 plus $5 a day per parking space for street occupancy, or $40 plus $2.50 a day for a sidewalk alone, capped at $325 a month. The policy does not name dumpsters specifically, so confirm the permit type with Public Works or Planning and Code Enforcement (207-513-3000). Budget Dumpster's Lewiston page also tells customers to check with Public Works about street placement.
