Dumpster rental
in Vassalboro.

Vassalboro has no Town trash pickup, and its transfer station on Lombard Dam Road takes demolition debris from residents at $15 a yard or $20 to $30 a pickup load, with a sticker and four open days a week. For anything bigger than a few loads, rent a roll-off: the 2024 Solid Waste and Recycling Ordinance lets waste go to a private company's disposal site instead of the Town facility. Casella and Chelsea-based Riverside Disposal both name Vassalboro but quote prices only, so compare written quotes and plan to set the box on your own lot.

The first decision in Vassalboro

Match the terms to your project.

Neither company publishes a Vassalboro price, rental period or weight allowance, so the written quote is the real comparison. Riverside, based in nearby Chelsea, has its own Vassalboro page that lists roll-offs, publishes exact 15-, 20- and 30-yard dimensions and names its add-on charges for tires, electronics and freon items. Casella's Vassalboro page offers containers up to 40 yards for bigger jobs and spells out the 22-foot overhead and 34-foot approach it needs, which is worth measuring on a wooded rural lot.

Your local checklist

Pick a level spot on your own driveway or yard, because no Vassalboro permit for dumpsters on Town roads was found; call Road Commissioner Brian Lajoie at 207-923-3985 before anything sits on a road shoulder.
Ask Casella and Riverside for written quotes that state rental days, included tonnage, per-ton overage and any charge for delivery to your part of town (North, East or South Vassalboro).
For a small job, compare a few pickup loads at the Lombard Dam Road station ($15 a yard or $20 to $30 a truck for demolition debris, shingles $10 a square); bring your Town sticker, and if a contractor is hauling, give them a signed note saying where in Vassalboro the debris came from.

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

Casella Waste Systems

Published sizes: Up to 40 cubic yards ("up to 16 truck loads"). The page's container comparison table has headings but no rows, so individual sizes and dimensions are not published.
Rental & weight terms: The page says most rentals include a standard rental period but does not state its 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 quotes it upfront. Phone 800-227-3552; questions 802-683-3984 (weekdays 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

Page is headed Dumpster Rental in Vassalboro, ME but gives no local address or Vassalboro-specific details. Its placement guidance asks for 3 feet of side clearance, 22 feet overhead and 34 feet of straight approach, no soft ground or grass, and snow and ice cleared before winter delivery, which matters on Vassalboro's gravel and tree-lined roads. Casella also hauls bulky waste and cardboard from the Town transfer station under contract; that is a Town arrangement, not a residential rental.

No Vassalboro rule for dumpsters on Town roads was found; keep the container on your property

We did not find a Town ordinance, permit or form that deals with placing a dumpster or roll-off in a Town road or right-of-way. The Town's posted ordinances include a No Parking Ordinance (2002), but it covers parked vehicles, not containers, and the Code Enforcement page lists building, shoreland, septic, subdivision and site review applications with no right-of-way or dumpster permit. That is not the same as saying no permit is needed. Most Vassalboro homes sit on lots with room for a container in the driveway or yard, which avoids the question. If the container must touch a Town road or its shoulder, ask Road Commissioner and Public Works Foreman Brian Lajoie first (207-923-3985, publicworks@vassalboro.net). If your frontage is a state-numbered route, ask MaineDOT. For a commercial, retail or institutional property that went through Planning Board site review, the Site Review Ordinance (amended June 13, 2023) requires dumpsters on level paved or gravel surfaces and screening by fencing or landscaping where they abut a street or residential use; that ordinance does not apply to single-family or two-family homes. Questions about building permits for the job go to Code Enforcement Officer Eric Currie (207-872-2826).

What matters locally

Lombard Dam Road transfer station: residents only, demolition debris by the yard

The Vassalboro Transfer Station at 129 Lombard Dam Road is open Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with no loads after 4 p.m. (manager Adam Daoust, 207-923-3051). It takes waste from Vassalboro residents only, and every vehicle needs a current Town sticker; under the 2024 ordinance the yearly permit requires two proofs of residency, and haulers need one too. Regular household trash goes in free, but building materials may not go in the compactor. The Town's posted fees for demolition debris such as drywall are a $5 minimum, $15 a yard, or $20 to $30 a pickup load, with trailer loads and larger loads priced by the attendant; shingles and rolled roofing are $10 a square. Asbestos and anything the attendant cannot identify are refused. A contractor bringing debris must carry written verification from the homeowner of where in Vassalboro it came from. The Town notes prices may change, so confirm before you haul.

Mattresses, appliances, tires and brush at the Vassalboro station

The same Town page lists per-item fees for cleanout items: mattresses $7 (queen $10, king $15), box springs $5, couches $15 ($20 with a fold-out bed), upholstered chairs $7 and recliners $10, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers $10 each, CRT TVs and monitors $15 and flat screens $5, 20-pound propane tanks $5, and tires from $3. Leaves, grass and garden waste are free, and brush and logs are taken up to 4 feet long and 16 inches across, plus small stumps. Used oil and antifreeze (5 gallons or less), fluorescent bulbs (10 per visit) and many batteries are accepted; gasoline and other chemicals are not. The Town also lists three independent haulers for residents who would rather not make the trip: Jeremy Dow (207-213-5315), John Green (207-649-3216) and George Hamar (207-660-1619).

Before you book

Questions about renting in Vassalboro.

Do I have to take construction debris to the Vassalboro transfer station?

Not under the current ordinance. The Solid Waste and Recycling Ordinance, revised with an effective date of June 11, 2024, says waste generated in Vassalboro can either go to the Town transfer station or be hauled under contract by a private company to another disposal facility. The original 1988 ordinance, which is still posted on the Town's documents page, required all waste generated in town to go to the Town facility; voters approved the 2024 revision, which dropped that clause, as Article 42 at the June 11, 2024 town meeting (202 to 88). Haulers who use the Town station must register with the transfer station manager each year and display a permit.

Can my contractor bring demolition debris from my Vassalboro house to the Town transfer station?

Yes, with paperwork. The station accepts only waste generated in Vassalboro, and a non-resident contractor must bring a letter or contract from the homeowner giving the name, address, phone number and a description of the work; the Town's transfer station page says attendants may refuse a load without written verification of where in town it came from. The contractor still pays the disposal fees, currently a $5 minimum, $15 a yard, or $20 to $30 a pickup load for debris such as drywall, and $10 a square for shingles. Asbestos is not accepted.
