Massachusetts / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Lunenburg.

The Town's trash page lists no Town transfer station, and Lunenburg's yellow-bag curbside program excludes construction and demolition debris, so a remodel or large cleanout usually means a roll-off or a paid special pickup from G.W. Shaw & Son. No Board of Health dumpster permit or lid rule was found for a bin on a private driveway. A bin on a street needs a Town license, and the DPW is the place to ask. Bin There Dump That, based in neighboring Fitchburg, posts Lunenburg prices from $445 for a 10-yard bin with 1 ton included to $700 for a 20-yard bin with 3 tons, with a typical 7-day rental in busy season and 14 days otherwise. Casella offers containers up to 40 yards and quotes by phone.

The first decision in Lunenburg

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That is the only one of the two with published Lunenburg prices, bin dimensions, included tonnage and rental length, and it has small masonry-only bins for concrete or brick, but its largest bin is 20 yards. Casella goes up to 40 yards for whole-house or new-construction jobs, but its Lunenburg page lists no sizes below that ceiling, prices, weight allowance or rental length, so every term has to come from a written quote.

Your local checklist

Ask the company whether it holds a current Lunenburg Board of Health rubbish hauler permit; the Town publishes no hauler list (Board of Health 978-582-4146 ext. 5).
Keep the roll-off on your driveway if you can. A bin on a Town street needs a license under the streets bylaw, so call the DPW at 978-582-4160 first; on Massachusetts Avenue (Route 2A), ask MassDOT.
If the job has a building permit, have the debris plan ready for the online application, since the Board of Health says construction waste falls under the building code. Haul brush and leaves separately to the fall yard-waste Saturdays off Youngs Road.

No Lunenburg dumpster permit was found for a private driveway; a bin in the street needs a Town license

The Lunenburg Board of Health Regulations posted on the Town site (last revised August 26, 2002) contain a refuse article with a Trash Removers Permit for collection companies, but no dumpster permit, and no lid, cover, enclosure, pad, screening or setback rule for any container. The Board of Health page lists only a Rubbish Hauler permit, which the company holds, not the homeowner. At its May 5, 2025 meeting the Board voted to limit its rubbish regulation to household waste, because the Town's online building-permit application had been picking up construction waste, which the Board said falls under the building code. If your project has a building permit, expect the application to ask how the debris will be handled. This guide found no rule requiring a homeowner permit for a roll-off on a private driveway, which is not the same as a confirmation that none is needed; call the Board of Health at 978-582-4146 ext. 5 to check. A bin in the road is different. Search excerpts of the Town's streets bylaw (adopted as Art. V of the Town Bylaws, amended at the 2022 Annual Town Meeting) say no one may place an obstruction or rubbish within the limits of a street without a license from the Select Board, the Town Manager or the DPW Director, but this guide could not open the code page to confirm the current wording, a fee or a time limit. The DPW posts only a Trench & Road Opening permit and a Driveway permit online, with nothing written for dumpsters. Call the DPW at 520 Chase Road (978-582-4160) before putting a bin on any Town road. Massachusetts Avenue (Route 2A) is a state road; the DPW page lists MassDOT (857-368-4636 ext. 2) for it.

What matters locally

Construction debris is barred from Lunenburg's yellow-bag pickup

The Town's Recycling & Trash Program page says construction and demolition debris may not go in the yellow PAYT bags; residents must book a special pickup with G.W. Shaw & Son for it, as they must for yard waste. G.W. Shaw also collects bulky items for an extra fee, with the Town page listing appliances and furniture at $40 to $100 each, large metal at $15 per barrel and tires from $15 to $300. G.W. Shaw may refuse items at its discretion. Bag prices rose about 5.5 percent from October 15, 2025, because disposal costs had outrun bag revenue. Household hazardous waste goes to the Devens Regional Household Hazardous Products Collection Center. A remodel or a full-house cleanout will usually be cheaper in a roll-off than item by item.

Fall yard-waste Saturdays at the old landfill on Youngs Road; Townsend CHARM site for hard-to-recycle items

Lunenburg opens the closed Lunenburg Landfill off Youngs Road for resident yard waste on fall Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Fall 2026 dates are October 17, 24 and 31, November 7, 14 and 21, and December 5, with Thanksgiving weekend closed. It takes grass, leaves, mulch, wood chips, shrubs and brush up to 3 inches in diameter. Containers and tarps must be taken home, commercial landscapers are barred, and household trash and building materials are refused. For fee-based drop-off of hard-to-recycle items, Lunenburg residents may use the Townsend Recycling Center (a CHARM site) at 33 Greenville Road in Townsend, open the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., according to the Town trash page. Check the Townsend site for current fees and accepted items.

Questions about renting in Lunenburg.

Can I put remodeling debris out with Lunenburg's curbside trash instead of renting a dumpster?

No. The Town's Recycling & Trash Program page says construction and demolition debris is not allowed in the yellow PAYT bags and must be arranged as a special pickup with G.W. Shaw & Son, the Town's curbside collector. G.W. Shaw also takes bulky items for extra fees (appliances and furniture $40 to $100 each, large metal $15 per barrel) and may decline items. The fall yard-waste days at the old landfill on Youngs Road refuse building materials. For more than a few items, a roll-off is usually the practical route.

Does a Lunenburg homeowner need a permit for a roll-off in the driveway?

No such permit was found. The Board of Health Regulations posted by the Town (revised 2002) require a Trash Removers Permit for companies that collect rubbish commercially, held by the hauler, but have no dumpster permit, lid, enclosure or setback rule. In May 2025 the Board voted to limit its rubbish regulation to household waste, saying construction waste falls under the building code. A bin placed in a street needs a license under the Town's streets bylaw. Because this guide found no rule rather than an explicit exemption, confirm with the Board of Health (978-582-4146 ext. 5).
