Dumpster rental
in Oakland.

Oakland homeowners can take demolition debris from their own property to the Town transfer station for $105 a ton, weighed at the scale, Wednesday through Sunday. A contractor hauling it needs a temporary pass from the Town Office. For a full gut job or estate cleanout, a roll-off is less work. Casella and Chelsea-based Riverside Disposal both have Oakland pages but post no prices, so compare written quotes. Oakland's street ordinance bars bulky articles from streets and sidewalks, so keep the box on your own lot.

The first decision in Oakland

Match the terms to your project.

Price, rental days and weight allowance are quote-only at both companies, so the written quote is where they differ. Casella's Oakland page goes up to 40 yards but lists no individual sizes. Riverside publishes exact dimensions for 15-, 20- and 30-yard roll-offs and says up front that freon appliances, tires and electronics cost extra. Riverside's Oakland page warns that services vary by location, so confirm a roll-off can reach your address, especially on narrow lake roads around McGrath Pond and Messalonskee Lake.

Your local checklist
  1. Get written quotes from Casella and Riverside that state rental days, included tons and the per-ton overage, since neither posts them for Oakland.
  2. Price the do-it-yourself route: the Oakland transfer station charges $105 a ton for construction debris (scale-authorized), takes only Oakland-generated waste, and requires a Town Office temporary pass if a contractor does the hauling.
  3. Plan a driveway or yard spot with at least 3 feet of side clearance and 22 feet overhead; Oakland's street ordinance bars cumbersome articles from streets and sidewalks, so call Public Works at 207-465-2408 before anything touches a Town road.

Oakland's street ordinance bars bulky articles from streets and sidewalks; no dumpster permit was found

Oakland's Streets, Sidewalks and Municipal Parking Areas Ordinance (Section B.6) makes it unlawful to place or keep any box, barrel, bale goods, wood or other cumbersome article on a street or sidewalk except while moving it across. Section D.1 requires anyone who encumbers a street, crosswalk or private driveway entrance with an obstruction to remove it to the Police Chief's satisfaction. The ordinance does not mention dumpsters by name, and we found no Town permit, fee or time limit that would allow a roll-off on a Town street. The Road Opening Ordinance and its permit application cover only digging in Town roads and new driveway entrances; they say nothing about containers. Treat street placement as not allowed unless the Town says otherwise in writing. Keep the container on your own driveway or lot. If it must touch a Town road, shoulder or sidewalk, call Public Works (207-465-2408) or the Town Office (207-465-7357) first. Belgrade Road is State Route 11; ask MaineDOT about state-road shoulders.

Oakland transfer station takes demolition debris at $105 a ton, by scale

The Oakland Transfer Station on Transfer Station Road (the page also mentions Town Farm Road) is open Wednesday to Sunday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (phone 207-465-4732). Under the fee table dated July 1, 2024, construction and demolition debris, milled wood demolition waste and commercial solid waste all cost $105 per ton. Every load must be authorized at the scale before it goes into the bulky bay. Flat per-item fees include $11 for each mattress, box spring, couch or recliner; $6 for appliances without freon; $16 for refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers; $5 for TVs and monitors; and $4 for car and pickup tires. Brush is free but stays out of the bulky bay. The station refuses asphalt, asbestos, creosote-treated wood such as railroad ties, ashes, liquids and aerosols.

Only Oakland-generated waste is accepted, and contractors need a property owner's pass

The Town's Solid Waste Ordinance (adopted 1988, last amended August 26, 2009) limits the facility to waste generated in Oakland. Vehicles need a Town sticker. A non-resident or local contractor working on an Oakland property can use the station only after the property owner gets a temporary pass from the Town Office, normally good for seven days and up to 30 days at the Town Manager's discretion. Commercial haulers need a Town commercial hauler license to tip there, and they must show a pass proving that bulky or demolition waste came from an Oakland job. A first violation by a commercial hauler carries a $1,000 fine and a three-month suspension. Loads must be covered or secured. The ordinance also bans stumps, roadway construction materials such as rocks and soil, and any waste from outside Oakland.

Questions about renting in Oakland.

Can my contractor bring renovation debris to the Oakland transfer station?

Yes, if the debris comes from your Oakland property and you get the paperwork first. Under the Town's Solid Waste Ordinance, the property owner gets a temporary pass from the Town Office, usually good for seven days (up to 30 at the Town Manager's discretion), and the contractor shows it on each trip. A commercial hauler also needs the Town's commercial hauler license. The station's fee table dated July 1, 2024 charges $105 a ton for construction and demolition debris, and loads must be authorized at the scale. Asphalt, asbestos, creosote-treated wood and stumps are not accepted.

Can I put a rented dumpster on an Oakland street?

Probably not without Town approval. Oakland's Streets, Sidewalks and Municipal Parking Areas Ordinance makes it unlawful to keep a box, barrel or other cumbersome article on a street or sidewalk, and the Town requires anyone who obstructs a street or driveway entrance to clear it. We found no permit that allows a container on a Town road, and the Road Opening permit covers only excavation. Keep the roll-off on private property. If that's impossible, ask Public Works (207-465-2408) or the Town Office (207-465-7357) and get any approval in writing.
