Dumpster rental
in Rochester.

Rochester's curbside carts won't take construction debris. For a small job on the home you live in, you can haul debris to the Turnkey drop-off yourself for free. For anything bigger, rent a roll-off. Bin There Dump That is the only one of the three companies here that posts Rochester prices: $550 to $750 for a 10- to 20-yard bin with 1 to 2 tons included. WM, which runs the landfill on Rochester Neck Road, and Casella quote on request and go up to 30 or 40 yards. Keep the container in your driveway, since City code requires a Public Works permit for street use and bars obstructions in the roadway.

The first decision in Rochester

Match the terms to your project.

Bin There Dump That posts prices, a 7-day rental and included tonnage, but tops out at 20 yards and doesn't publish its overage rate. WM and Casella go larger (30 yards at WM, up to 40 at Casella) but publish no Rochester prices, rental lengths or weight allowances. Compare their written quotes against BTDT's published rates for the same size. WM operates the TREE landfill in Rochester; ask each company where your load will be dumped and how overage is billed.

Your local checklist

Measure your driveway before booking: Casella asks for 22 feet of overhead clearance and 34 feet of straight approach. A Rochester street spot needs a Public Works permit, so call 45 Old Dover Road (603-332-4096) first if the driveway won't work.
Get written quotes from WM and Casella for the same size as a Bin There Dump That bin ($550 for 10 yards with 1 ton, $650 for 15 yards with 1.5 tons, $750 for 20 yards with 2 tons), and ask each for the per-ton overage and extra-day rate.
Ask the hauler before loading refrigerators, air conditioners or dehumidifiers (the Turnkey drop-off won't take them either), and check the City's bulky-item calendar for furniture. For a small job on the home you live in, compare the free debris drop-off at Turnkey (confirm the address and hours before you go).

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

Bin There Dump That (New Hampshire)

Published sizes: 10-yard (10' x 7' x 4'), 15-yard (11' x 8' x 4.5') and 20-yard (11' x 8' x 6') bins, per the New Hampshire rates page. The Rochester page also mentions bins from 4 to 20 yards but prices only the three sizes above.
Rental & weight terms: The rates page lists a 7-day rental. Included disposal weight is 1 ton for the 10-yard, 1.5 tons for the 15-yard and 2 tons for the 20-yard. That is the weight covered by the price, not the most a bin can hold. Overage per ton and extra-day fees are not published, so ask for them in writing.
Price basis: Published: 10-yard $550, 15-yard $650, 20-yard $750. Phone or text 603-451-6363.

Franchise business. Its Rochester page is headed 'Friendly Dumpster Rentals in Rochester' and says residential rentals include delivery, pickup and driveway protection. Neither page gives a franchise address. The prices on the Rochester page match the statewide rates page.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

WM (Waste Management)

Published sizes: 15-yard, 20-yard and 30-yard roll-offs in the page's size table. The FAQ also mentions a 40-yard option and gives different 20-yard dimensions, so confirm the size and dimensions you are booking.
Rental & weight terms: Daily, weekly and monthly rentals are offered, but no lengths or rates are given. Included weight and overage are not published; request a written quote. The page says City permit costs are generally not included. Batteries, asbestos, chemicals and flammable liquids are not accepted, and some materials carry extra fees. Wheels, locks and rear swing doors are optional extras.
Price basis: Not published; quote only. Phone 844-263-5201 for rentals (the Rochester location page lists 866-849-0076 for commercial service and dumpster rental questions).

The page is headed 'Temporary Dumpster Rental in Rochester, NH'. WM operates the TREE landfill in Rochester and is named on the City's 2022 trash guide as the City's curbside collector. That is a separate contract for household carts and does not make WM the only roll-off option. WM also sells the Bagster bag (3 cubic yards) as a smaller alternative.

03 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Casella Waste Systems

Published sizes: Up to 40 cubic yards ('up to 16 truck loads'). The page's size comparison table has headings but no rows, so individual sizes are not published.
Rental & weight terms: The page says most rentals include a standard period and extensions are available, but it does not say how long. 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 flat rate covers delivery and pickup. Phone 800-227-3552; Customer Care 802-683-3984 (weekdays 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

The page is headed 'Dumpster Rental in Rochester, NH' but gives no Rochester-specific details or local office. Placement guidance: at least 3 feet clear on each side, 22 feet overhead and 34 feet of straight approach. Keep the container off grass and soft ground and clear of sidewalks, driveways and hydrants, and salt or sand an icy drop spot.

Keep the roll-off on your own property; a Rochester street needs a Public Works permit, and roadway obstructions are barred

No Rochester page written for dumpster permits could be read, because rochesternh.gov returned errors to automated requests. The City code text posted in a June 2019 Codes and Ordinances Committee packet has three relevant sections. Section 223-5 says no one may fence off or encumber any part of a street or sidewalk, or place building material on it, without first getting a written permit from the Commissioner of Public Works and meeting the Commissioner's conditions. The permit holder must also keep the obstruction fenced and lit from dusk to dawn. Section 223-6 says anyone obstructing a street must tell the Fire Chief before starting and when finished. Section 223-21(A) says no one may maintain a 'public way obstruction' (any object that blocks pedestrians or vehicles on streets, sidewalks or parkways) that rests on any part of a public street's roadway. Sidewalk and parkway obstructions need a Licensing Board permit with a $50 annual fee under Sections 223-22 and 223-23, but those sections were written for newsracks, signs and planters, and a permit for a dumpster in the street was not found. Treat street placement as not allowed unless the Department of Public Works (45 Old Dover Road, 603-332-4096) agrees in writing. Plan to set the container in your driveway or yard. These sections were read in the 2019 text and may have changed since, so confirm with Public Works before booking. Numbered state routes such as Route 11 and Route 125 are state highways, so ask NHDOT about those.

What matters locally

Small loads of renovation debris from your own home can go to the Turnkey drop-off for free

City code Section 210-11 lets residents bring acceptable construction and demolition debris to the approved residential drop-off center at no cost. Section 210-1 limits 'acceptable' debris to material from minor renovation or demolition of the resident's primary personal residence. Residents must bring it themselves. Debris from apartments or condos that are not the owner's primary residence is charged commercial fees. City notices from February and March 2024 repeat the primary-residence limit and say the center also takes yard waste, tires, CRT TVs, scrap metal, bulky items and recyclables, but not appliances that hold CFCs such as refrigerators, air conditioners and dehumidifiers. Household trash brought there must be in bags carrying a City sticker, which costs $1.75 per 30 to 33 gallon bag and is sold at the Tax and Auto Registration Office in the Foley Community Center, 150 Wakefield Street. The City's 2022 trash guide listed the drop-off at 90 Rochester Neck Road and said it takes construction and demolition debris only in small amounts. The October 2025 yard waste notice gives the Turnkey Drop-off Center's address as 18 Isinglass Drive, with hours of 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. Confirm the location and hours with Public Works (603-332-4096) or Waste Management (800-972-4545) before you go.

Construction debris can't go in the curbside cart, but bulky items have a monthly pickup

The City's 2022 trash and recycling guide, published with Waste Management, says the 64-gallon green trash cart may not hold construction or demolition debris, dirt, sod, concrete, rock or household hazardous waste. Bulky items such as furniture and carpet could go to the curb during the second full week of each month or be taken to the drop-off center. Televisions and CFC appliances were not taken at the curb. Code Section 210-1 limits bulky waste to items under 200 pounds that two people can lift and that are no larger than 6 by 6 by 4 feet. Roadside leaf and yard waste pickup runs in spring and fall, using paper bags and brush cut to 3-foot bundles. The 2025 fall pickup ran on regular trash days in the weeks of October 27 and November 3. The bulky-item schedule may have changed since 2022, so check the City's current collection calendar.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Rochester.

Can I put a rented dumpster on a Rochester street?

Only with the City's permission, and plan on keeping it in your driveway instead. In the City code text posted in 2019, Section 223-5 requires a written permit from the Commissioner of Public Works before anyone encumbers a street or sidewalk or places building material on it, with fencing and night lighting while it is there. Section 223-21(A) bars any 'public way obstruction' from resting on any part of a public street's roadway. No Rochester permit written for dumpsters was found, so call Public Works (603-332-4096) before booking a street spot. Ask NHDOT about numbered state routes.

Does Rochester's trash contract with Waste Management stop me from renting from another company?

No such restriction was found. Chapter 210 of the City code describes the contractor's job as collecting household trash and recycling from carts on public streets, plus scheduled bulky-item and yard waste pickups. The 2019 text reserves nothing else to the contractor, requires no City hauler license and does not send construction debris to a City site. Section 210-11 only offers residents free drop-off for debris from minor work on their primary residence. The current Chapter 210 on eCode360 (amended through March 2019) matches: refuse must be kept in proper containers or dumpsters, with no screening requirement. Waste haulers also have a separate state registration with NHDES.
