Maryland / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Owings.

Owings has no town hall, so Calvert County sets the rules, and SHA District 5 controls MD 2 and MD 260. No County dumpster or right-of-way permit for a roll-off was found, so keep the bin on your own lot. Any company hauling your debris for pay needs a County Health Officer hauler permit. Construction debris goes only to the Appeal Landfill in Lusby, a long drive south, so a roll-off is usually the practical choice for a remodel; small furniture cleanouts can use the County's free bulk pickup or the Mt. Hope convenience center.

The first decision in Owings

Start with an eligible hauler.

None of the three companies publishes prices or included tonnage, so compare on size and fit. Bin There Dump That (Mechanicsville) is the only one with an Owings page and offers short 4- to 20-yard bins of 11 ft or less with a typical 7-day rental, suited to a driveway cleanout. Southern Maryland Recycling is based in Owings itself and runs 15-, 20- and 30-yard roll-offs aimed at construction and demolition debris. Patuxent Roll-Off (Crofton) covers Calvert County at the county level and goes up to 40 yards for large jobs.

Your local checklist
  1. Confirm your address is unincorporated Calvert County: an Owings 20736 mailing address near the Chesapeake Beach line could fall inside that town, which has its own rules.
  2. Ask the hauler for its Calvert County Health Officer hauler permit number, which must be shown on its trucks, and ask which facility will take the debris.
  3. If you front MD 2 or MD 260, or your lot is on a private subdivision road, keep the bin off the road shoulder: call SHA District 5 for the State route and your association for a private road before booking.

Locally owned roll-off and recycling company based in Owings (856 Cameleer Pass, Owings, MD 20736, per its contact page) that says it has served Southern Maryland since 1997. Its roll-off page offers roll-off service for residential and commercial waste, focuses on construction and demolition debris, and lists Calvert, St. Mary's, Charles, Prince George's and Anne Arundel as service areas. It names Owings only as its own address, not as a service-area page, and the site has some unfinished navigation links, so confirm availability and terms by phone.

Owings dumpster: keep it on your lot; no County dumpster permit found; MD 2 and MD 260 frontage is SHA District 5

Because Owings is unincorporated, Calvert County governs a roll-off here. No County permit written for a dumpster on a County road or in the County right-of-way was found: the Public Works and Highway Maintenance pages and the Public Works documents list publish no right-of-way or encroachment permit for containers, and the parent's search of the County Code found no dumpster or roll-off rule outside County parks. That is not the same as saying no permit is needed, so place the bin on your own driveway or lot, and if it truly must sit on a County road, call Calvert County Public Works (410-535-2204) or Highway Maintenance (410-535-0905) first. Homes fronting MD 2 (Solomons Island Road) or MD 260 are on State routes: the State Highway Administration says activities within the State right-of-way need a permit, and Calvert County falls under its District 5 office at 138 Defense Highway, Annapolis (410-841-1084). Private roads in Owings subdivisions are not County roads, so ask your association before placing a bin on one.

What matters locally

Remodel and demolition debris goes only to the Appeal Landfill in Lusby

Calvert County takes construction and demolition debris and building materials (lumber, wallboard, roofing, cabinets, windows, plumbing fixtures and the like) only at the Appeal Landfill, 401 Sweetwater Road, Lusby, not at the convenience centers. The landfill is open Monday to Friday 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Under fees effective July 1, 2026, general chargeable material costs $100.12 a ton for residents and $110.33 for commercial customers, and debris/brush $98 a ton for residents. Drivers scan a driver's licence at a kiosk and are weighed in and out. A vehicle with a business name, a hauler permit or DOT number, or a rented truck or trailer (such as a U-Haul) counts as commercial. Lusby is at the far southern end of the county, beyond Prince Frederick, which is why many Owings remodels use a roll-off instead.

Mt. Hope convenience center and free County bulk pickup for small cleanouts

The nearest County convenience center to Owings is Mt. Hope, 96 Pushaw Station Road, Sunderland, open Monday to Saturday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; convenience centers take bagged household trash and recyclables but not commercial vehicles or building materials. For indoor furniture and large indoor appliances, the County Solid Waste Division runs a free curbside bulk pickup for residents: two pickups a year, up to three items each, set at the curb where your driveway meets a public road (crews do not enter private roads), with an $11 prepaid fee for each refrigerant appliance. Book by calling 410-326-0210 or through the online form. Building materials, outdoor furniture and yard debris are excluded.

County zoning has no dumpster rule for houses, but the Owings Town Center has its own ordinance

Calvert County's Zoning Ordinance (in force since March 1, 2025) contains no rule on dumpsters or roll-off containers at houses. Its "temporary outdoor storage container" definition covers self-storage pods and cargo containers used to store belongings, and its refuse-container and screening standards apply to multi-family, commercial and industrial sites. Two cautions: debris, rubble and trash may not be disposed of as fill in a special flood hazard area, so keep everything in the bin on waterfront or low-lying lots; and property inside the Owings Town Center boundary is also governed by that town center's own zoning ordinance, so owners there should confirm any container question with County Planning and Zoning before delivery.

Questions about renting in Owings.

Does Calvert County make me use a particular trash company for a roll-off in Owings?

No County franchise was found. What the County Code does require is that anyone hauling refuse for hire in Calvert County holds an annual written permit from the County Health Officer, with liability insurance and the permit number shown on each vehicle, and the Code's definition of refuse includes construction and demolition waste. You can choose any roll-off company that holds that permit; homeowners hauling their own household refuse do not need one.

Sources: [1] · [2]

Can I take my Owings remodel debris to a County site myself instead of renting a dumpster?

Yes, but only to the Appeal Landfill at 401 Sweetwater Road in Lusby; the convenience centers, including Mt. Hope in Sunderland, do not take building materials. Under fees effective July 1, 2026, residents pay $100.12 a ton for general chargeable material, and a rented truck or trailer, or a vehicle with a business name or hauler permit, is charged the commercial rate. For a large job, the round trip and weigh-in fees often make a roll-off simpler.
