Dumpster rental
in Union.

Union residents have no Town trash pickup, so a remodel's debris either rides to the Tri-County station on Heald Highway, where demolition waste is $8 per 100 pounds, or fills a rented roll-off. Riverside Disposal and Casella both name Union but post no prices, so compare written quotes. Union has no dumpster permit and its parking ordinance bars overnight parking in signed rights-of-way, so plan for the container on your own land.

The first decision in Union

Match the terms to your project.

Neither company publishes a Union price, rental length or weight allowance, so the written quote decides it. Riverside has its own Union page, lists exact 15-, 20- and 30-yard dimensions and spells out per-item charges for Freon items, tires and electronics. Casella goes up to 40 yards and publishes delivery clearances (22 feet overhead, a 34-foot straight approach) that matter on wooded rural driveways, but its Union page carries no local detail.

Your local checklist
  1. Pick a firm, level spot on your own lot with 22 feet of overhead clearance, and ask Union's Code Enforcement Officer whether a roll-off counts as a temporary structure needing a permit.
  2. Get written quotes from Riverside and Casella that state rental days, included tonnage, per-ton overage and where the load will be dumped.
  3. Price a smaller job at the Tri-County station first: demo waste is $8 per 100 pounds, shingles $5, and Freon appliances $15 each, and the scale closes at 4 p.m.

No dumpster permit found; keep the roll-off off Union's roads

No Union form, fee or ordinance section written for dumpsters or roll-offs in the road was found. The Town's 2017 Parking Ordinance covers motor vehicles, not containers, but where signs are posted it bars overnight parking on all roads and in municipal rights-of-way and sets a two-hour limit around Union Common, which signals how the Town treats its road edges. The Land Use Ordinance (amended June 10, 2025) requires commercial and industrial loading, including containers, to stay off public ways (Section 1.10.4.4.1). It also lists temporary structures as needing a Code Enforcement Officer permit in every district and defines a temporary structure to include storage bins set up for seven months or less in a year (Table 1.10-1 item 405; definitions). Roll-offs are not named, so ask the Code Enforcement Officer (codeenforcement@union.maine.gov, 207-785-3658) whether a container on your lot needs a permit. The $100 Entrance Permit/Road Cut on the fee schedule is for driveways and road cuts, not containers. Public Works (207-785-3411) handles the Town's 44 miles of roads; Routes 17 and 131 are numbered state routes, so ask MaineDOT about those.

What matters locally

Tri-County transfer station weighs demolition debris at $160 a ton

The Tri-County transfer station at 3368 Heald Highway (207-785-2261) serves Appleton, Liberty, Somerville, Union and Washington. It is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:20 p.m., and the scale closes at 4 p.m. sharp. Its posted fee sheet charges demolition and bulk waste at $8 per 100 pounds ($160 a ton) and asphalt shingles with tar paper at $5 per 100 pounds ($100 a ton). Nails are fine in shingle loads, but plastic, wood and ice-and-water shield are not. Household trash goes in the station's green 33-gallon bags at $2 each; contractor bags are $4. Trash is shipped to ecomaine in Portland. The fee sheet carries no date, so confirm rates with the attendant.

Appliances, mattresses and couches are priced separately

The same Tri-County sheet takes washers, dryers, stoves and microwaves free, but charges $15 each for Freon appliances such as refrigerators, freezers (doors removed), air conditioners and dehumidifiers. Mattresses run $6 for a twin, $9 for a full and $14 for a queen or king, with box springs $5 to $10. A standard couch is $12, a fold-out or recliner couch $17, toilets $6, and TVs or monitors $5 to $25 by size. Tires are $2 up to 16 inches and $6 for pickup-truck size. Lead-acid and rechargeable batteries, residential fluorescent bulbs and most electronics other than TVs and monitors are free. Riverside Disposal bills Freon items, tires, TVs and computers per item when they go in a roll-off, so the station can be the cheaper route for these.

Questions about renting in Union.

Can I leave a roll-off on the road in front of my Union house?

Union has no permit or ordinance section written for dumpsters in the road. Its 2017 Parking Ordinance, which covers motor vehicles, lets the Town post signs barring overnight parking on any road or municipal right-of-way and limits the Union Common area to two hours. The Land Use Ordinance also keeps commercial and industrial loading containers off public ways. Treat the road as off-limits and keep the container on private property. If you think you need road space, call Public Works (207-785-3411) or the Town Office (207-785-3658) before booking; for Route 17 or Route 131, ask MaineDOT too.

Does my dumpster load have to go to the Tri-County transfer station?

No such rule was found. Union's posted ordinances include no solid-waste or hauler-licensing ordinance, and the Town says the Tri-County station operates independently of it. Tri-County's own pages describe the five member towns and its fees but state no requirement that waste be brought there. Ask your roll-off company where the load will be tipped. If you haul debris yourself, Tri-County charges $8 per 100 pounds for demolition and bulk waste at the Heald Highway scale.
