Guide collection updated November 9, 2026 · How we researchCheck the Board of Health permit first.
In Massachusetts the local Board of Health usually regulates dumpsters, and many require a permit, a location approval or a licensed hauler before a container arrives. Start with your town's guide, line up the permit, then compare published bin sizes and included weight.
These guides cover the communities listed below. Check your exact delivery address; a mailing address alone may not identify the authority responsible for placement.

Acton's Transfer Station off Route 2 does not take construction debris, so a remodel, roof tear-off or basement cleanout usually means a roll-off. The Board of Health registers only containers leased for more than three months, and no lid, enclosure or setback rule for dumpsters was found, so a short rental in your driveway should need no Town paperwork; confirm with the Health Department. A bin left in the street or on the sidewalk needs a written Select Board license. Bin There Dump That posts Acton prices from $445 for a 10-yard (1 ton) to $700 for a 20-yard (3 tons), with 7 to 14 rental days by season. Casella offers bins up to 40 yards by quote only.
Read the Acton guideIn Amesbury, start with the Health Department, not the dumpster company. A 30-day temporary dumpster permit has to be in place at least two days before a roll-off arrives, and the Board of Health approves where it sits. The rules call for 15 feet of clearance from any building, which matters on tight lots near downtown. Bin There Dump That is the only supplier publishing Amesbury prices: $560 to $760 for 10- to 20-yard bins with 1 to 2 tons included and a typical 7-day rental. Casella quotes by phone and goes up to 40 yards. Construction debris never goes in the G. Mello cart, so a bin or a trip to the Georgetown transfer station is the realistic choice.
Read the Amesbury guideIn Andover the rental itself is easy to price but the paperwork is not optional. Any dumpster over 6 cubic yards that sits more than a day needs a Board of Health permit ($50 for up to 60 days) and a Fire Rescue permit ($50), and you can apply for both online as a homeowner. Bin There Dump That is the only company publishing Andover prices: $560 to $760 for 10- to 20-yard bins with 1 to 2 tons and 7 days included. Casella and WM quote by phone and offer larger containers. Republic's curbside service won't take renovation debris, so a roll-off is the realistic route for a remodel.
Read the Andover guideIn Billerica, the Town's Waste Management carts won't take renovation debris, so a remodel or cleanout usually means renting a roll-off. Bin There Dump That is the only supplier publishing Billerica prices: $560 to $760 for 10- to 20-yard bins with 1 to 2 tons included and a typical 7-day rental. Casella quotes by phone and goes up to 40 yards. No Board of Health dumpster permit was found for a driveway bin, but a confirming call is cheap. A bin in the street raises General By-Law questions, so plan for the driveway.
Read the Billerica guideBoxford posts no dumpster permit, so most of the decision is about price and access. Bin There Dump That is the only supplier with published Boxford prices: $560 to $760 for 10- to 20-yard bins with 1 to 2 tons included and a 7-day rental. Casella goes up to 40 yards but quotes by phone. On a long, narrow or soft driveway, check Casella's 34-foot straight-approach and no-grass rules before you book.

Call the Health Department and DPW first, because the absence of a posted rule has not been confirmed with the Town.
Read the Boxford guideBurlington's Republic Services curbside program refuses construction and demolition debris, and the Town has no transfer station, so a renovation or large cleanout usually means a roll-off. The Board of Health has no dumpster or hauler rules, but the Fire Department's fee sheet lists a dumpster permit ($25 under 6 yards, $50 over), so call Fire Prevention before delivery. A bin in the street needs a Select Board permit and liability insurance. Bin There Dump That posts prices from $445 for a 10-yard (1 ton) to $700 for a 20-yard (3 tons). Casella (up to 40 yards) and Redbox+ North Boston (10 to 40 yards) quote by phone.
Read the Burlington guideGeorgetown has no Town trash pickup, so a roll-off is one of the main ways to handle a cleanout or renovation here.

Casella quotes by phone and goes up to 40 yards. For a smaller load, call Mello's private transfer station near I-95 for its drop-off prices.
Read the Georgetown guideHudson's Town curbside service is an optional cart subscription, and cart trash excludes brick, concrete, appliances and yard waste, so renovation debris or a large cleanout usually means renting a roll-off. Unlike many towns, Hudson's Board of Health requires a Dumpster Permit for every dumpster, issued to the property owner; a temporary permit runs up to 30 days and can be renewed, and the older posted fee for a home with up to 4 units is $25.

No Board of Health dumpster permit or lid rule was found for a bin on a private driveway. The DPW posts no dumpster-in-the-street permit, so ask before using the road.

Casella goes up to 40 yards but quotes by phone.

Read the Medway guideIn Methuen, the Board of Health permit is the first step, not the dumpster company's paperwork.
