Dumpster rental
in Readfield.

Readfield has no curbside trash pickup. Remodeling debris either goes to the Recycle Road transfer station at $45 a cubic yard, about $68 for a full short-bed pickup, or into a rented roll-off. If the job is more than a few truckloads, get roll-off quotes. Riverside Disposal and Casella both name Readfield but post no prices. Keep the container in your own driveway, because no Town placement rule for roads could be confirmed.

The first decision in Readfield

Match the terms to your project.

Neither company publishes a Readfield price, rental period or weight allowance, so compare written quotes. Riverside has a Readfield page, lists exact 15-, 20- and 30-yard dimensions and names which items it charges extra for. Casella goes up to 40 yards and publishes clearance needs (22 feet overhead, 34 feet of straight approach) that matter on wooded lake-lot driveways, but its Readfield page has no local detail.

Your local checklist

Pick a firm, level spot in your own driveway with 22 feet of clear overhead, away from lake-lot septic areas and soft ground. Plan for pickup within 30 days, since a container left longer counts as a structure under Readfield's Land Use Ordinance.
Ask Riverside and Casella for written quotes that state rental days, included tonnage, per-ton overage and where the load will be dumped.
For a smaller job, compare the cost at the Recycle Road transfer station: get a windshield sticker at the Town Office, budget $45 a cubic yard for debris, and bring mattresses ($15 to $25) and Freon appliances ($10) there yourself.

Riverside has its own Readfield page that lists Dumpsters and Rolloffs under its services there, and Readfield appears on its Locations list. The page says service offerings vary by location, so confirm roll-off delivery to your address. Readfield issues annual permits to commercial haulers that use its transfer station; whether Riverside holds one was not checked. Ask where your load will be dumped.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Casella Waste Systems

Published sizes: Up to 40 cubic yards ("up to 16 truck loads"). The page's size comparison table shows only column headings, so individual sizes are not published.
Rental & weight terms: The page says most rentals include a standard rental period and more time can be requested, but it does not give the 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 quoted rate covers 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 Readfield, ME but gives no Readfield-specific details. Placement guidance: at least 3 feet clear on each side, 22 feet overhead and 34 feet of straight approach. Keep the container off soft ground and grass, away from sidewalks and hydrants, and don't fill past the top edge. Salt or sand an icy drop spot before winter delivery.

No Readfield dumpster permit was found; keep the roll-off on your own lot and ask the Town Office about road placement

No Readfield form, fee or ordinance section written for dumpsters or roll-offs on a road was found. The Town's Public Ways, Traffic and Parking Ordinance (enacted October 17, 2022) does not mention dumpsters, but its Obstruction of a Public Way section says no person shall obstruct any public way, and personal property that hinders maintenance, snow removal or traffic may be removed and stored at the owner's expense on the Road Commissioner's order. A container in a Town road is therefore at risk of removal unless the Town agrees to it first. Two rules found in the 2025 Land Use Ordinance are relevant. Article 4, Section 1(K) requires a permit for a new entrance onto a public or private road, so don't cut a new access just to reach a drop spot. Article 11 defines 'structure' to include truck-boxes and similar containers left in one place for more than 30 consecutive days, which brings structure setbacks into play on a long rental. Plan to keep the container in your driveway or yard, within the 30 days if you can. Call the Town Office at 8 Old Kents Hill Road (207-685-4939) before booking if the container has to touch a Town road. Numbered routes such as Route 17 are state highways, so ask MaineDOT about those.

What matters locally

Demolition debris at the Recycle Road station is priced by the cubic yard

The Readfield Transfer Station fee schedule (effective January 1, 2023) charges $45 a cubic yard for demolition debris such as lumber, sheetrock and PVC. It also gives a load guide: a full standard pickup bed (about 1.5 cubic yards) is $68, a full long bed $90, and a full 6-wheel truck of 6 to 10 cubic yards $450. Attendants calculate the fee from the actual volume. Bagged or barreled demolition debris is $11 for a 50-gallon container, $7 for 30 gallons and $3 for 15 gallons or less. Asphalt shingles are $65 a cubic yard, and every debris or special-waste load carries a $3 minimum. Household trash, recycling, scrap metal and brush are free to residents with the windshield permit sticker. The ordinance accepts only waste generated in Readfield or a participating town (Fayette and Wayne). Contractors working on a property in those towns can get a temporary pass at the Transfer Station Manager's discretion. The schedule may have been revised since 2023, so confirm current rates with the attendant.

Furniture, mattresses, appliances and tires each have a set price

The same schedule lists per-item prices. Sofas are $25, or $35 with a built-in bed or recliner. A stuffed chair is $10. A queen or king mattress or futon is $25, a full $20 and a twin $15, and a box spring is $8. Tubs and showers are $20 each, toilets $8 and porcelain sinks $4. Appliances with Freon, such as refrigerators and air conditioners, are $10; appliances without Freon, such as stoves, are free. Passenger tires up to 19.5 inches are $4 and oversized tires $20. TVs and monitors are $5 under 32 inches and $10 for larger screens. Household paint, waste oil and fluorescent bulbs are free, and hazardous waste is taken only on special collection days. The station also runs a Swap Shop for reusable items. Riverside Disposal charges extra for Freon items, tires and electronics in a roll-off, so it can be cheaper to take these to the station yourself.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Readfield.

Do I need a permit to put a roll-off on a Readfield road?

No Readfield dumpster permit was found, and the Public Ways, Traffic and Parking Ordinance that would cover Town roads could not be read for this guide, so don't assume road placement is allowed. The 2025 Land Use Ordinance requires a permit for any new entrance onto a road. It also treats a container left in one place for more than 30 consecutive days as a structure, so setbacks would apply. Keep the container on your own property, and call the Town Office (207-685-4939) before booking if it would sit on or near a Town road. Ask MaineDOT about state routes.

Does debris from a Readfield job have to go to the Town transfer station?

No such requirement was found. The ordinance's 'Waste Delivery Requirements' section covers what the station accepts: only waste generated in Readfield or a participating town, sorted by the person delivering it. Commercial haulers need an annual Select Board permit only before they use the station. Nothing in the ordinance requires that waste generated in town go there, so a roll-off company can take your load to another licensed site. If you haul debris yourself, you need the windshield permit sticker, and a contractor working on a Readfield property can ask the Transfer Station Manager for a temporary pass.
