Dumpster rental
in Wells.

Wells has no Town curbside pickup, so renovation debris goes either into a rented roll-off or, by the pickup load, to the Willie Hill Road Transfer Station at 12 cents a pound with a $5 sticker. Bin There Dump That posts prices and tonnage for three sizes; Casella goes larger but quotes only on request. Get the rental length and overage rate in writing, ask the hauler to confirm its current Town of Wells solid waste hauler permit, and keep the box off Town roads unless Public Works approves it.

The first decision in Wells

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That is the only one that posts prices ($525 to $725) and included weight (1 to 2 tons) for Wells, which makes a 10- to 20-yard job easy to price, but it tops out at 20 yards. Casella offers containers up to 40 yards for whole-house cleanouts or new construction, but publishes no sizes, rental length or weight allowance, so you need a quote to compare.

Your local checklist
  1. Ask each company in writing for its rental days and per-ton overage, and ask Casella for its included tonnage; Bin There Dump That posts only the included weight.
  2. Ask the rental company whether it holds a current Town of Wells solid waste license (Town Code 150-93 requires one to collect, transport or dispose of waste generated in Wells; the Town Clerk calendar shows hauler permits expiring every December).
  3. Price a few loads at the Willie Hill Road Transfer Station (12 cents a pound for demolition debris, $5 sticker) against a roll-off quote, and if your contractor lives out of town, get the $50 owner's temporary pass at Town Hall first.

Wells posts an excavation permit, not a dumpster permit; ask Public Works before using a Town road

The Wells Public Works page lists two permits for work touching Town roads: a Street Opening Permit and a Driveway Permit, both approved and signed by Public Works before work starts. The Code Enforcement fee sheet linked from that page sets the Street Opening Permit at $50 plus a surety ($1,000 for a cross cut, $5,000 for parallel openings up to 500 feet) and the Driveway Permit at $15, and its conditions deal only with trenching, backfill and repaving. Neither the page nor the form mentions dumpsters, containers or other objects left in the road, and we did not find a Town rule or permit for placing a roll-off in a Wells street or right-of-way. That is not the same as saying no permit is needed. Plan to keep the container in your driveway or on your lot, and call Wells Public Works (207-646-3014, 585 North Berwick Road) before a box goes on a Town road. State routes through Wells, such as Route 1 and Route 109, are not Town streets, so the Town's permits would not cover them.

What matters locally

Construction debris at the Wells Transfer Station costs 12 cents a pound

The Town's fee brochure (revised August 20, 2026) charges $0.12 per pound, or about $240 a ton, for demolition material, loose shingles, contractor bags and barrels of construction debris. Bulky items have flat fees: $15 for a sofa, $20 for a sleeper sofa, $40 for a mattress, $15 for a box spring, $5 each for a wooden door or window and for a toilet, sink or tub, $12 for a tire up to 15 inches and $30 for a larger one (off the rim), and $10 for a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner plus a $10 Freon removal fee. Every vehicle needs a $5 Town sticker, sold at Town Hall (208 Sanford Road), online from late November, or by mail, and the station takes only waste generated in Wells. Hours are Tuesday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (207-646-8647). Attendants may refuse any item, and prices can change without notice. For a small bathroom or deck tear-out, a few pickup loads here may cost less than a roll-off.

Out-of-town contractors need a $50 pass in the owner's name

Under the Town's 2027 Transfer Station Sticker Policy, a contractor who is not a Wells resident or taxpayer can dispose of demolition debris at the station only with a temporary pass issued to the Wells property owner. The owner gets it at Town Hall by showing a signed construction contract, it costs $50 per contract and lasts for the contract's timeframe, and the contractor must arrange space in advance with the Transfer Station Manager. Oil-based paint, pesticides and similar household hazardous waste are not taken day to day; Wells residents use a regional collection day each fall (October 10, 2026, at Kennebunk Public Services).

Questions about renting in Wells.

Can my contractor take renovation debris to the Wells Transfer Station instead of renting a dumpster?

Yes, with limits. The station accepts demolition debris and loose shingles at $0.12 per pound, but only from Wells and only in vehicles with a Town sticker. A contractor who is not a Wells resident or taxpayer needs a temporary pass issued to the property owner at Town Hall, which costs $50 per contract, requires a signed copy of the construction contract, and lasts for the contract's timeframe. The contractor must also arrange space in advance with the Transfer Station Manager (207-646-8647). Town Code 150-90(D) lets residents or their contractors deposit residential construction debris there under the Town rules, but does not require it, so a licensed hauler may take a rented box elsewhere.

Do I need a permit to put a dumpster on a Wells street?

We could not find a Wells permit written for dumpsters. The permits Public Works posts are the Street Opening Permit ($50 plus a surety bond) and the Driveway Permit ($15), and their conditions cover excavation and driveway connections, not containers. Because no dumpster rule was found, call Public Works at 207-646-3014 before placing a roll-off on a Town road, and keep it on your own property where you can.
