Maine / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Lisbon.

Since September 1, 2026, the Lisbon transfer station has taken only household waste from residents, so renovation debris, old furniture and roofing need another route. For more than a pickup load, rent a roll-off from Casella (up to 40 yards) or Riverside Disposal (15, 20 and 30 yards); neither posts prices, so get days and tonnage in a written quote. For a small load, haul it yourself to Maine Waste to Energy in Auburn and pay by the ton.

The first decision in Lisbon

Match the terms to your project.

Riverside publishes its roll-off sizes and dimensions (15, 20 and 30 yards) and its per-item extra charges for tires and freon appliances, but its Lisbon Falls page says service varies by location, so confirm it delivers to you. Casella has pages for both Lisbon and Lisbon Falls and goes up to 40 yards, but it publishes no specific sizes. Neither company posts prices, included tonnage, rental length or overage rates.

Your local checklist

Don't plan to finish a Lisbon job at the Capital Avenue transfer station: since September 1, 2026 it refuses construction and demolition debris, bulky items and all contractor waste, so size the roll-off to hold everything.
Before a delivery between late February and May, ask Lisbon Public Works whether your road is posted for the spring thaw (23,000-pound limit in the Town's last posting); a loaded roll-off truck may need a posted-road permit or have to wait.
In Lisbon Falls village, where many lots have short driveways, call Public Works (207-353-3000 ext. 116) before putting a container on the street; the Town's only street permit we found covers excavation, not containers.

Listings are an editorial starting point, not a complete market ranking. Supplier-published amounts are not Dumpsterly quotes. Confirm address eligibility, material acceptance, dates and the full delivered total.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Casella Waste Systems

Published sizes: Up to 40 cubic yards ("up to 16 truck loads"); the container comparison table on both the Lisbon and Lisbon Falls pages is empty, so specific sizes and dimensions are not published
Rental & weight terms: The pages say most rentals include a standard rental period and extensions can be requested, but give no length. Included weight, overage and extra-day rates are not published; request a written quote.
Price basis: Not published; Casella quotes one flat rate covering the container, delivery, pickup and support, based on size, location and rental length. Phone 800-227-3552 (page header); customer care 802-683-3984, weekdays 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Casella has separate pages headed Dumpster Rental in Lisbon, ME and Dumpster Rental in Lisbon Falls, ME with the same content. Placement guidance: 3 feet of clearance on each side, 22 feet overhead and 34 feet of straight approach; no soft ground or grass; do not block sidewalks, driveways or hydrants; clear snow and ice first. Hazardous materials are not accepted. The Town's September 2026 transfer station notice names Casella as an example of a private hauler offering residential dumpster rentals; that is a Town pointer, not an endorsement.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Riverside Disposal and Recycling

Published sizes: Roll-offs of 15 yards (16' x 8' x 5'), 20 yards (20' x 8' x 4') and 30 yards (22' x 8' x 6'); smaller front-load dumpsters of 2 to 10 yards are also listed. Dimensions are approximate.
Rental & weight terms: Rental period, included weight, overage and extra-day rates are not published; request a written quote.
Price basis: Not published; quote by phone (207-623-2577) or the online quote form.

Riverside, based at 700 River Road in Chelsea and in business since 1986, has a Lisbon Falls town page that lists Dumpsters and Rolloffs among its services, with a note that offerings vary by location and should be confirmed. Its roll-off page says material must be loaded over the top (no door), bans hazardous liquids such as gas, oil, paint and household chemicals, and charges extra per item for freon appliances, tires, TVs and computers. Riverside has no separate page for Lisbon outside the Falls; ask whether it delivers to your address.

Lisbon's street permits cover excavation and posted roads; we found no dumpster-specific rule

Lisbon Public Works issues a Street Opening Permit ($150) for any excavation within the Town right-of-way, including outside the pavement, and does not issue one between November 1 and March 15 except in an emergency. That permit is written for digging, not for setting a container on the road. We found no Lisbon permit, fee or time limit that addresses a roll-off on a Town street, shoulder or sidewalk, so treat this as unknown, not as permission. Most Lisbon homes outside the Falls village have room in the driveway; keep the container there. If it must sit in the road, especially on the narrow streets of Lisbon Falls village, ask Public Works first (Director Pat Maloy, 14 Capital Avenue, Lisbon Falls; 207-353-3000 ext. 116) and get any approval in writing. Lisbon also posts some roads to a 23,000-pound gross weight limit during spring thaw, and heavy trucks need a Town posted-road permit then. Routes 9, 125 and 196 are state highways under MaineDOT.

What matters locally

The Lisbon transfer station stopped taking construction debris on September 1, 2026

A Lisbon Department of Public Works notice dated July 2026 says the Transfer Station moved to a residential household-waste-only model when new permits were issued on September 1, 2026. It still takes household trash, cardboard, mixed paper, recyclable plastics and glass, food waste for compost, scrap metal, grass and leaves, and brush up to 12 feet long. It no longer takes construction and demolition debris, couches, mattresses and upholstered furniture, refrigerators and air conditioners, electronics, tires, waste oil and other bulky items. Everything must come from a residential household; commercial and contractor waste is refused. The Town's Permits page lists the residential and temporary permits at $104 for the first vehicle and $15 for each additional vehicle as of September 1, 2026. The station is at 14 Capital Avenue, Lisbon Falls, open Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Older Town fee pages still show bulky-waste and shingle prices from FY2026; the September 2026 notice replaces them.

Maine Waste to Energy in Auburn takes the bulky waste Lisbon no longer accepts

The same Town notice lists Maine Waste to Energy at 110 Goldthwaite Road, Auburn (207-783-8805; Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday 7 a.m. to noon) for household and bulky waste, construction debris, brush, mattresses, tires, freon appliances, electronics and propane bottles. It charges tipping fees by the ton or by item and takes major credit cards; general waste must be under 3 feet long, and bulky items are priced separately. For household hazardous waste such as paint, solvents, pool chemicals and fluorescent bulbs, the notice lists the AVCOG Environmental Depot at 424 River Road, Lewiston, open the third Saturday of the month from May to October, 8 to 11:45 a.m., at $45 per unit for residents of non-participating towns. Call ahead; the Town says hours, fees and accepted items can change.

Questions about renting in Lisbon.

Can I still take renovation debris to the Lisbon transfer station?

Not since September 1, 2026. A Lisbon Public Works notice says the station on Capital Avenue in Lisbon Falls now accepts only residential household waste: trash, recyclables, food waste, scrap metal, grass, leaves and brush up to 12 feet. Construction and demolition debris, furniture, mattresses, appliances, tires and other bulky items are no longer taken, and contractor or commercial waste is refused. The notice sends those materials to Maine Waste to Energy at 110 Goldthwaite Road in Auburn, which charges by the ton or by the item, or to a private dumpster rental.

Do I need a Town permit to put a dumpster on a Lisbon street?

We could not find one. Lisbon Public Works lists a Street Opening Permit ($150, not issued from November 1 to March 15), but it covers excavation in the right-of-way, not containers. Public Works also issues permits for heavy trucks on posted roads during spring thaw. No Town page or form we read sets a dumpster permit, fee or time limit, so that is unknown rather than a sign that no approval is needed. Keep the container on your property if you can, and otherwise ask Public Works at 207-353-3000 ext. 116 before it arrives.
