Dumpster rental
in Northport.

Northport's transfer station is for residents' household waste. It prices demolition by the load ($22 for a full-size pickup, $95 for a 6-yard load) and takes no commercial waste, so it suits a small cleanout but not a contractor's tear-out. For a bigger job, Riverside Disposal and Casella both name Northport but publish no prices. Set the box on your own lot. Town rights-of-way are closed to parking from November through April, and from mid-February to April 30 many Town roads are posted against heavy trucks.

The first decision in Northport

Match the terms to your project.

Neither company publishes a Northport price, rental period or weight allowance, so compare written quotes. Riverside lists exact dimensions for its 15-, 20- and 30-yard boxes and names the items it charges extra for, but it hauls from Chelsea, near Augusta. Casella offers boxes up to 40 yards and publishes its clearance needs (22 feet overhead, 34 feet of straight approach). Those figures are worth checking against wooded shore lots and tight Bayside lanes. During mud season, ask each company whether its loaded truck can legally reach your posted road.

Your local checklist

If delivery or pickup falls between mid-February and April 30, check whether your road is on the Town's posted list. A loaded roll-off truck is usually over 26,000 pounds, so it would need the Road Commissioner's written permit (207-322-3331), or you can wait until postings come down.
Keep the container out of the Town right-of-way, which on a 3-rod road runs about 24.75 feet from the center line, especially from November 1 to April 30, when parking there is banned. Damage to a Town road from your hauler's truck can be billed to whoever hired it.
In Bayside, talk to the Northport Village Corporation office (207-338-0751) before booking. Village streets must keep 14 feet of passage, and oversized vehicles need Overseer or Village Agent approval to stay longer than 15 minutes.

Published sizes: 15-yard (16' x 8' x 5'), 20-yard (20' x 8' x 4') and 30-yard (22' x 8' x 6') roll-offs, per the company's roll-off page. The company says actual dimensions may vary by a few inches.

Riverside's Northport page lists Dumpsters and Rolloffs, Curbside Pickup, Recycling and Demolition, and Northport is on its Locations list. The page says offerings vary by location, so confirm that roll-off delivery covers your address. Chelsea is near Augusta, a long haul from the Penobscot Bay shore, so ask how delivery is charged.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Casella Waste Systems

Published sizes: Up to 40 cubic yards ("up to 16 truck loads"). The page's container comparison table is empty, so individual sizes are not published.
Rental & weight terms: The page says most rentals include a standard period and extensions are available on request, but it gives no length. Included weight, overage and extra-day rates are not published; request a written quote.
Price basis: Not published. Casella says price depends on size, location and rental length, and that one rate covers the dumpster, delivery, pickup and support. Phone 800-227-3552; questions 802-683-3984 (weekdays 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

The page is headed Dumpster Rental in Northport, ME but has no Northport-specific details. Its placement guidance asks for at least 3 feet of clearance on each side, 22 feet overhead and 34 feet of straight approach, with low branches and wires cleared. Keep the container off grass and soft ground and away from sidewalks, driveways and hydrants, and clear snow and ice before delivery.

No Northport dumpster permit was found; keep the roll-off on your lot and watch the winter parking ban and spring road postings

No Town form, fee or ordinance section for placing a dumpster or roll-off in a road was found. The Administrative Ordinance (revised June 19, 2023), Section 4.05(D)(3), requires a Road Commissioner permit for work in a Town way or public easement, but its text deals with road openings and culverts. Subsection (i) of the same section bans parking on Town roads and in the Town right-of-way in winter so plows and emergency crews can get through. The Traffic Control and Vehicle Weight on Posted Ways Ordinance (effective December 13, 2021), Section 3.5, sets that ban at November 1 to April 30. Section 5 of the same ordinance has the Road Commissioner post a list of about 35 Town roads, from Bayside Road and Beech Hill Road to Shore Road and Saturday Cove Road, for overweight loads from about February 15 to about April 30 each year. During posting, vehicles over 26,000 pounds gross need an exemption or a written permit from the Road Commissioner. Its solid-waste exemption covers only two-axle trucks up to 33,000 pounds. Part of Upper Bluff Road and Bluff Road is closed year-round to through trucks of 26,000 pounds or more. Under Section 4.05(D)(3)(h) of the Administrative Ordinance, damage to a Town road from vehicle or equipment passage is billed to the owner or operator or to the person who hired them. In Bayside, the Northport Village Corporation Parking Ordinance (effective July 11, 2021) limits oversized vehicles on village streets to 15 minutes except while loading, unloading or doing maintenance. Longer stays for construction need permission from the Board of Overseers or the Village Agent. Parked vehicles must also leave at least 14 feet of passage. That ordinance does not mention dumpsters. Contact the Road Commissioner, Amon Morse III, at 207-322-3331, or the Town Office at 16 Beech Hill Road (207-338-3819). U.S. Route 1 is a state highway, so ask MaineDOT about placement along it.

What matters locally

The Northport Transfer Station takes small demolition loads from residents at per-load prices

The station is at the end of Nebraska Road and is open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Only Northport residents may use it, and the vehicle needs a Northport sticker on the front (free at the Town Office). The July 1, 2025 fee sheet says the station takes residential household waste and recycling only. It accepts no commercial waste and no brush, stumps, grass clippings or leaves, and it takes no cash. Bags need a $4.00 sticker for up to 33 gallons or $8.00 above that. Demolition debris is priced by the load: $11 per sofa, mattress or carpet item or per car-trunk or SUV load, $17 for a small pickup load, $22 for a full-size pickup, $33 for a pickup with sides, $95 for a 6-yard pickup load, and $17 and up for shingles and other miscellaneous demolition. Metal appliances cost $17, Freon items $33, and tires $5 each without rims. Recycling is single-stream and free.

Bayside has its own curbside bag pickup and parking rules

The Northport Village Corporation's trash page says trash and recycling are picked up in Bayside on Mondays all year, plus Thursdays in summer, with items out by 7 a.m. Trash goes in black bags of up to 33 gallons with a Town of Northport sticker. The NVC page still lists the sticker at $2.00, while the Town's 2025 fee sheet lists $4.00, so check the current price. The page does not name the collector and says nothing about dumpsters or construction debris. Bayside's streets are narrow, and the NVC Parking Ordinance bans overnight street parking from November 15 to April 15. Ask the NVC office (207-338-0751) before planning any roll-off delivery into the village.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Northport.

Can my contractor bring construction debris to the Northport Transfer Station?

Generally no. The station's July 2025 fee sheet limits it to Northport residents' household waste and recycling and says no commercial waste is accepted. Residents can bring small demolition loads at per-load prices, from $11 for a car trunk to $95 for a 6-yard pickup load. No Town rule was found that requires roll-off debris to go to the station, and the Town has no hauler-license ordinance. A roll-off company takes its loads to its own licensed facility.

Do I need a permit to have a dumpster delivered to my Northport house?

No Town dumpster permit was found, but that is not the same as confirming none is needed. The Road Commissioner issues road-opening and posted-road permits, and the posted-roads ordinance bans parking in Town rights-of-way from November 1 to April 30. From about February 15 to April 30, many Town roads are posted, and trucks over 26,000 pounds need an exemption or a Road Commissioner permit. A demolition project needs its own $25 Code Enforcement permit. Ask the Road Commissioner about delivery timing, and keep the box on your own property.
