Vermont / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Montpelier.

Montpelier has no City trash pickup or City transfer station, so a cleanout or remodel usually means a roll-off from a District-licensed hauler or a trip to a Casella site on Route 2 or East Montpelier Road. Bin There Dump That publishes $499 to $949 for 6- to 20-yard bins with a small included tonnage and $275-per-ton overage; Casella quotes up to 40 yards. Keep the bin on your driveway if you can, since street placement needs a Public Works permit at $20 a day.

The first decision in Montpelier

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That's Montpelier page lists four prices, dimensions, a 7-day period and a tight included weight (a quarter ton to 1.5 tons) with a $275-per-ton overage and a fuel surcharge, which makes heavy debris costly. Casella publishes no prices or weight allowance but offers containers up to 40 yards and is on the District's licensed-hauler list. Compare written totals with the expected weight, and ask Bin There Dump That to confirm its CVSWMD licence.

Your local checklist

Ask the rental company to confirm it holds a current Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District hauler licence, which Montpelier's Code Sec. 7-402 requires of anyone collecting or transporting waste in the city.
If the bin must sit on a City street, sidewalk or metered space, file the Development Application and Public Works Attachment ($20 per day of obstruction) and buy meter bags from the City Clerk ($10 per bag per day), and plan for a lit barrier around it at night.
On your own lot, keep the bin clear of neighbours' access, post your name and phone number on it, and have it emptied routinely, as Section 3102 of the Unified Development Regulations expects for construction dumpsters.

A dumpster on a Montpelier street, sidewalk or parking space needs a Public Works permit ($20 per day) and, for metered spaces, City Clerk meter bags

Montpelier's Code of Ordinances, Sec. 3-502, says no one may place or deposit materials in a street or public place without first getting a written permit from the commissioner of public works and following its conditions; Sec. 3-502.2 sets a daily obstruction fee by City Council resolution, and Sec. 3-503 requires a barrier around the obstruction that is lit at night. The Unified Development Regulations (Section 3102.C) add that a construction dumpster on public property must be approved by the Director of Public Works. The City's Public Works Attachment (form dated January 12, 2018) prices work, obstruction or encumbrance of the City right-of-way at $20 per day and says occupied parking spaces are arranged through the City Clerk's office at $10 per bag per day. Every permit starts with the City's Development Application cover sheet; scans go to permits@montpelier-vt.org with a copy to the Public Works project assistant (jpowers@montpelier-vt.org), or paper copies can be dropped at 1 Blanchard Court, Suite 205. No dumpster-specific lead time, maximum duration or insurance requirement is published. On private property, Section 3102.B requires that a construction dumpster not block pedestrian or vehicle access to neighbouring properties, show the owner's name and phone number, be labelled for construction materials only and be emptied routinely; Section 3102.D allows temporary-use permits of up to 120 days, renewable for 90 days. Ask Public Works or the Zoning Administrator whether a homeowner's cleanout bin on a driveway needs any permit.

What matters locally

Montpelier has no City-run transfer station; the nearest drop-offs are private Casella sites and the District's Eco Depot

CVSWMD's transfer-station list for member towns names two Casella-run sites in Montpelier, the Central VT Transfer Station at 418 US Route 2 and Casella Resource Solutions at 408 East Montpelier Road, plus Wilson Depot at 109 Pitman Road in Barre Town (all 802-438-2151). The District says these sites are not operated by CVSWMD and that you should call ahead for accepted materials and prices; some transfer stations in the District take construction and demolition debris, bulky items, appliances and tires, but the list does not say which ones. Leaf and yard debris are accepted at all three.

Hazardous waste, paint, electronics and appliances go to the CVSWMD Eco Depot in Berlin, by appointment

The District's Eco Depot at 300 Granger Road, Berlin (802-229-9383), takes household hazardous waste, paint, batteries, bulbs, electronics, propane tanks and Freon appliances by appointment only, with residential days on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and the third Saturday; payment is cash or check. Household hazardous waste is $2 for under a gallon, $15 for 1 to 10 gallons and $30 for 10 to 20 gallons for District residents; small Freon appliances are $25 and large ones $50. It does not take trash, regular recycling or asbestos, so keep those materials out of a rented roll-off as well.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Montpelier.

Does a Montpelier roll-off company need a special licence?

Yes. Sec. 7-402 of Montpelier's Code says everyone collecting, transporting or disposing of solid waste in the city must be licensed by the Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District, and the District's ordinance requires every commercial hauler in the District to hold its licence and deliver to a permitted facility. Casella appears on the District's 2025 licensed-hauler list; Bin There Dump That did not appear by name, so ask for its licence before booking.

What does it cost to put a dumpster on a Montpelier street?

The City's Public Works Attachment charges $20 per day for work, obstruction or encumbrance of the City right-of-way, and parking spaces are reserved through the City Clerk at $10 per bag per day. Code Sec. 3-502 requires a written permit from Public Works before placing materials in a street, Sec. 3-503 requires a lit barrier around the obstruction at night, and the Unified Development Regulations say a construction dumpster on public property needs the Public Works Director's approval. No lead time is published, so email permits@montpelier-vt.org early.
