Dumpster rental
in Wales.

Wales has no dump of its own. Residents take trash and debris to the Monmouth Transfer Station with a Wales sticker and pay Monmouth's per-load demolition fees, which run from $35 to $50 for a level pickup bed. For a larger project, Riverside Disposal and Casella both name Wales and rent roll-offs, but neither posts prices. Wales' codified ordinances set no dumpster rule or hauler license, but the Land Use Ordinance requires a permit before placing a structure, so ask the Code Enforcement Officer before a container arrives.

The first decision in Wales

Match the terms to your project.

Neither company posts a Wales price, rental period or weight allowance, so get written quotes. Riverside has its own Wales page and lists exact roll-off dimensions (15, 20 and 30 yards). It also lists the items it charges extra for. Casella goes up to 40 yards and publishes delivery clearances (22 feet overhead, a 34-foot straight approach), which matter on long rural driveways. Its Wales page has nothing local beyond the town name.

Your local checklist

Before booking, email or call the Wales Code Enforcement Officer (ceo@walesmaine.gov, 774-404-3601) to ask whether a roll-off on your lot needs a permit. Note that the 20-yard box is about 160 square feet, above the 144-square-foot building-permit exemption for structures.
Price a few pickup loads at the Monmouth Transfer Station ($35–$50 per level load of demolition debris, $30 per mattress) against a roll-off quote. Get your calendar-year sticker at the Wales Town Office first, and bring your vehicle registration.
Keep the container on your own driveway and out of the road, and check Casella's 22-foot overhead and 34-foot straight-approach clearances against trees and wires on your lot.

Keep the container off soft ground and grass, away from sidewalks and hydrants, and clear snow and ice before a winter delivery.

No Wales dumpster or road-placement permit was found; ask the Code Enforcement Officer before a roll-off arrives

No Wales form, fee or published rule for placing a dumpster or roll-off in a town road was found. The Town's Permits & Forms page lists a Town driveway permit and a MaineDOT entrance permit, but nothing for containers in the road. The Town fee schedule (effective September 9, 2025) says a building permit is needed from the Code Enforcement Officer before the 'placement' of a structure, but structures of 144 square feet or less and 10 feet or less in height are exempt if they meet setbacks. Section 103-29 of the codified Land Use Ordinance requires a permit before any construction, placement or demolition that changes a property, but the code never mentions dumpsters or roll-offs, so whether a short-term container counts is a question for the Code Enforcement Officer. A 15-yard Riverside roll-off measures about 16 by 8 feet (128 square feet), and a 20-yard box about 20 by 8 feet (160 square feet). Keep the container on your own lot, out of the road. Before delivery, ask the Code Enforcement Officer (Alan Plummer, ceo@walesmaine.gov, 774-404-3601; office hours by appointment Fridays 8:30 a.m. to noon, booked through the Town Office at 207-375-8881) whether you need anything. For containers along a state highway, ask MaineDOT.

What matters locally

Wales residents use the Monmouth Transfer Station with a windshield sticker

According to the Town's Garbage page, Wales has an interlocal agreement to use the Monmouth Transfer Station at 126 Route 135, Monmouth (207-933-4236). The station is open Wednesday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Stickers are issued for the calendar year at the Wales Town Office (175 Centre Road) when you show your vehicle registration, and the sticker must be on your windshield. The Town pays for the arrangement through its budget. Article 24 of the June 13, 2026 Town Meeting warrant asked voters to raise $144,237 for Wales' use of the station and recycling center through June 30, 2027, up from $115,989 the year before.

Monmouth charges per load for demolition debris and per item for bulky waste

Monmouth's 2026 transfer station fee page charges for demolition debris by truck size when the load is level with the top of the bed: $35 for a 5-foot body, $40 for 6 feet, $45 for 7 feet and $50 for 8 feet. Trailers and miscellaneous debris cost $15 per lineal foot, and bagged insulation costs $10 a bag. Shingles cost $200 for a half-ton pickup load and $300 for anything larger. Couches, chairs and rugs cost $20 each, and mattresses and box springs $30 each. Freon appliances cost $25 ($20 for air conditioners), and stoves, washers and similar metal appliances are free. Tires cost $5, or $8 with a rim, and truck and equipment tires are not taken. Only household brush is accepted. For a small cleanout, compare these per-load fees with the cost of a roll-off.

Wales has no transfer station of its own.

Do I need a Wales permit for a roll-off at my house?

Not confirmed. No Wales dumpster or road-placement permit was found on the Town's forms list. The fee schedule requires a Code Enforcement Officer building permit for placing a structure, but exempts structures of 144 square feet or less and 10 feet or less in height that meet setbacks. The codified Land Use Ordinance (Chapter 103) does not mention dumpsters or roll-offs, so whether a container counts as a structure is the Code Enforcement Officer's call. Ask the Code Enforcement Officer before delivery.
