Dumpster rental
in Pittston.

Pittston has no transfer station, so renovation debris either goes in a rented roll-off or gets driven to the Hatch Hill Landfill in Augusta, where unsorted demolition debris costs $125 a ton plus state tax and a $15 vehicle permit is required. For a job bigger than a few pickup loads, get roll-off quotes from Riverside Disposal and Casella, which both name Pittston but post no prices. Ask each company about its Pittston hauler license, and keep the container on your own lot.

The first decision in Pittston

Start with an eligible hauler.

Neither company publishes a Pittston price, rental period or weight allowance, so the written quote is the comparison. Riverside has a Pittston page, gives exact 15-, 20- and 30-yard dimensions and lists the items it charges extra for, which helps if you are clearing out appliances or tires. Casella offers up to 40 yards and publishes the clearance a delivery needs (22 feet overhead, a 34-foot straight approach), which is worth checking on tree-lined rural driveways, but its Pittston page has no local detail.

Your local checklist

Ask each roll-off company whether it holds a current Pittston commercial trash hauler's license from the Select Board, as the 1994 Solid Waste Ordinance requires, and where the load will be dumped.
If you are booking in spring, ask the Town Office (207-582-4438) whether your road is posted for weight, since the posted-road exemption for solid-waste trucks covers only two-axle vehicles up to 34,000 pounds.
Price a small job at Hatch Hill first: buy the vehicle permit at the scale house, budget $125 a ton for mixed debris ($15 minimum), and take refrigerant appliances and tires there rather than paying per-item roll-off charges.

Published details, side by side

2 researched options.

Listings are an editorial starting point, not a complete market ranking. Supplier-published amounts are not Dumpsterly quotes. Confirm address eligibility, material acceptance, dates and the full delivered total.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Riverside Disposal & Recycling (Chelsea)

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 (dimensions approximate).
Rental & weight terms: Rental period, included weight, overage and extra-day rates are not published; request a written quote. Containers have no door, so everything goes in over the top. TVs, tires, computers and Freon appliances are charged per item, and gas, oil, paint and household chemicals are not accepted.
Price basis: Not published; quote only. Phone 207-623-2577; office at 700 River Road, Chelsea.

Riverside has a Pittston page that lists Dumpsters and Rolloffs (plus curbside pickup, recycling and demolition) among its services there, and Pittston is on its Locations list. The page says offerings vary by location, so confirm roll-off delivery to your address. Pittston's ordinance requires a Select Board hauler license for anyone transporting trash for pay in town; no published license list was found, so ask whether the company holds a current Pittston license and where your load will go.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Casella Waste Systems

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

The page is headed Dumpster Rental in Pittston, ME but has no Pittston-specific details. Placement guidance: at least 3 feet clear on each side, 22 feet overhead and a 34-foot straight approach; keep it off soft ground and grass and clear of sidewalks, driveways and hydrants; clear snow and ice before winter delivery. As with Riverside, ask whether Casella holds a current Pittston hauler license.

No Pittston dumpster permit was found; keep the roll-off on your own lot and call the Town Office before using a Town road

No Pittston form, fee or ordinance section written for dumpsters or roll-off containers on a road or right-of-way was found. The Road Ordinance (accepted August 2, 2006) sets construction standards for new and rebuilt roads; it does not cover containers. The Entrance Ordinance (approved at the July 11, 2020 Town Meeting) requires a letter-of-permit from the Select Board or Road Commissioner before anyone installs a culvert or builds a new access onto a Town-maintained road, so don't cut a new pull-off just to land a container. The Ordinance Restricting Vehicle Weight on Posted Ways (approved March 7, 2018) lets the Select Board post Town roads with seasonal weight limits. Its exemption for loaded trucks carrying solid waste covers only two-axle vehicles registered up to 34,000 pounds, so a heavier roll-off truck may need a Select Board permit or have to wait while your road is posted. Plan to keep the container in your driveway or yard. Call the Town Office at 38 Whitefield Road (207-582-4438) before booking if it would touch a Town road, and ask MaineDOT about numbered state routes.

What matters locally

Hatch Hill in Augusta is Pittston's landfill, and debris is priced by the ton

The City of Augusta lists Pittston as one of eight contracting communities for the Hatch Hill Landfill at 112 Hatch Hill Road, which is open Tuesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (scale house 207-626-2440). Every customer needs a Hatch Hill vehicle permit. Pittston residents can buy one at the scale house with a valid Pittston registration, or at the Tax Collector's office in Augusta City Hall. The gate-fee list dated September 1, 2024 puts the permit at $15 for regular plates. Unsorted mixed construction and demolition debris is $125 a ton ($15 minimum) plus a $5-a-ton state tax. Rubbish is $105 a ton ($12 minimum), clean lumber for recycling $80 a ton, brush and natural wood $40 a ton, and scrap metal and white goods $30 a ton. Appliances with refrigerant carry a $25 surcharge per residential unit, and tires are charged per tire (the list shows more than one car-tire rate, so ask the scale attendant). Leaves, yard waste and single-stream recycling are free. Confirm current fees with the scale house, since the list is from 2024.

Pittston's recycling center takes only a short list of materials

The Town's 2025 annual report lists recycling center hours of Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. (May to October) or 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. (November to April), and Wednesday 4 to 7 p.m. Only #2 plastics go in the Pittston bin, alongside glass, tin cans, mixed paper, corrugated cardboard and household batteries. Volunteers say furniture, electronics and other trash have been left at the center at taxpayer expense, so take bulky items and renovation debris to Hatch Hill, which also accepts all plastics, or put them in a rented container.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Pittston.

Does a roll-off company need a Pittston license, and where does my debris have to go?

Pittston's Solid Waste Ordinance 94.1 says no one may collect or transport trash for pay in Pittston without a commercial trash hauler's license from the Select Board, with a sticker on each vehicle. Section 3.9 says trash collected in Pittston should be disposed of at the Hatch Hill Landfill in Augusta, because the Town pays a per-capita fee for access. Hatch Hill is a City of Augusta landfill that lists Pittston as a contracting community and takes demolition debris. No published list of licensed haulers was found, so ask the company to confirm its license and its disposal site.

Do I need a permit to put a dumpster on a Pittston road?

No Pittston dumpster or right-of-way permit was found, so don't assume a road spot is allowed. The Entrance Ordinance requires a letter-of-permit from the Select Board or Road Commissioner before any new access or culvert onto a Town road. The weight ordinance lets the Select Board post Town roads in the spring, and loaded trucks heavier than the exemptions need a permit to use a posted road. Neither the current Building Ordinance nor the proposed Land Use Ordinance has a dumpster rule. Keep the container on your own property and call the Town Office before booking if it would sit on or near a Town road.
