Dumpster rental
in North Smithfield.

North Smithfield's WM curbside service takes one 64-gallon cart a week and refuses construction waste, so a renovation or large cleanout usually means a roll-off. Before the bin arrives, get a dumpster permit from the Building/Zoning Official. Zoning § 340-4.8 caps it at 30 days unless a building permit is open, and it requires the bin to sit 20 feet back from the public right-of-way and 10 feet from side and rear lot lines. A street placement needs a separate DPW right-of-way permit. Bin There Dump That lists $435 to $535 for 10- to 20-yard bins. PVD Dumpster Rentals starts at $425 to $525 and publishes $15 extra days and $145-per-ton overage. North Smithfield-based Above All Disposal quotes by request.

The first decision in North Smithfield

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That and PVD Dumpster Rentals both post North Smithfield prices for 10-, 15- and 20-yard bins with 1, 1.5 and 2 tons. PVD lists its prices as "from" figures and is the only one that publishes its extra-day ($15) and overage ($145 per ton) rates; it also offers a 3-ton concrete or dirt bin. Bin There Dump That's prices are fixed figures with delivery, pickup and driveway protection included, but it publishes no overage or extra-day rate. Above All Disposal is the only one based in North Smithfield and the only one advertising containers up to 40 yards for construction, but it publishes no prices or terms.

Your local checklist

Apply to the Building/Zoning Official at Town Hall, 83 Greene Street (401-767-2200 ext. 309), for a dumpster permit before delivery. It lasts 30 days unless a building permit is open, so schedule the pickup before it runs out.
Mark a spot at least 20 feet behind the public right-of-way line and 10 feet from the side and rear lot lines, on pavement if you can. If no such spot exists, ask the DPW Highway Division (ext. 343) about a right-of-way permit for a temporary dumpster before booking.
Tell the company that North Smithfield bars servicing residential-zone dumpsters between 6 p.m. and 7 a.m., and bars emptying or moving any dumpster on Sundays. Keep loose debris off the ground around the bin.

North Smithfield requires a Building/Zoning permit for a driveway dumpster (30 days, 20-foot setback from the right-of-way); a street placement needs a DPW right-of-way permit

Zoning Ordinance § 340-4.8 (Use of dumpsters - temporary, shipping containers and truck bodies/trailers) says anyone placing a dumpster on private property must first obtain a permit from the Building/Zoning Official. The permit covers temporary use for no more than 30 days, or for as long as a building permit is open on the property. The dumpster must be set back at least 20 feet from the public right-of-way and at least 10 feet from the side and rear property lines, and it should sit on concrete or asphalt where possible. It may not block hydrants or sight lines at intersections, and no debris may be left on the ground. In residential zones, a dumpster may not be serviced between 6 p.m. and 7 a.m., and no dumpster may be emptied or moved on Sundays. Only land the Tax Assessor classifies as farm or forest land is exempt. The fee for this permit was not found online, so ask the Building Department at Town Hall (401-767-2200 ext. 309). Note that the public right-of-way often extends past the edge of the pavement, so measure the 20 feet from the lot line, not the curb. If the bin has to go in the street, the DPW Highway Division's Application for Permit includes an option to occupy the public right-of-way for a temporary dumpster. The form leaves the fee and bond blank, says the DPW reviews the application and calls the applicant, and requires 24 hours' notice before work (401-767-2200 ext. 343).

What matters locally

Town curbside trash excludes construction debris; RIRRC and transfer stations take it for a fee

North Smithfield's How Do I Dispose page says construction and demolition material cannot go in weekly residential collection, and residents may take it to RIRRC (the state's Central Landfill in Johnston) or any area transfer station for a fee. For larger construction projects, the same page suggests renting a dumpster from a private hauler. The Trash Program page says the WM-run curbside service is not for waste from home construction projects. Each household gets one Town-issued 64-gallon cart, all trash must be bagged, and extra trash must go in yellow Town bags sold at the Highway Garage (281 Quaker Highway) for $10 per five. The Moving In/Out page lists Bagster bags and full-size private dumpsters as options for trash beyond the weekly limit.

Bulky items, white goods, mattresses and yard waste have their own North Smithfield routes

The Town collects one bulky item per pickup if it is allowed in household trash, scheduled through the Recycling Office or WM's website. The Moving In/Out page describes this as bi-weekly while the Trash Program page implies weekly, so check when you book. Large appliances (stoves, refrigerators, washers) are picked up free on the first Monday of each month if you book by the deadline. RIRRC's North Smithfield guide also lists drop-off of refrigerators, air conditioners and dehumidifiers at the Recycle Center. Mattress pickup is handled by BP Express (401-400-1658). The Highway Garage takes rigid plastic, scrap metal and small metal appliances during recycling hours. RIRRC's guide lists Saturday curbside yard waste pickup from late April in brown paper bags or marked cans, up to 8 per week, with no stones, dirt or trash mixed in. The Town says RIRRC charges $7 per tire. Recycling Office: 401-767-2200 ext. 348.

Questions about renting in North Smithfield.

Do I need a permit for a roll-off in my North Smithfield driveway?

Yes. Zoning § 340-4.8 says anyone placing a dumpster on private property must first get a permit from the Building/Zoning Official. The permit allows temporary use for up to 30 days, or for as long as a building permit is open. The bin must be at least 20 feet from the public right-of-way and 10 feet from the side and rear lot lines. Only farm or forest land classified by the Tax Assessor is exempt. The fee was not published online, so ask the Building Department (401-767-2200 ext. 309). A bin in the street needs a DPW right-of-way permit instead.

Can I put renovation debris out with North Smithfield's curbside trash?

No. The Town's How Do I Dispose page says construction and demolition material cannot go in weekly residential collection, and the Trash Program page says the service is not meant for waste from home construction projects. Residents may take that debris to RIRRC or an area transfer station for a fee, or rent a dumpster from a private hauler. Curbside trash is limited to one Town-issued 64-gallon cart a week plus yellow Town bags ($10 for five), with one bulky household item per pickup scheduled through the Recycling Office or WM.
