Dumpster rental
in Westford.

Westford's curbside program, run by E.L. Harvey under a Town contract, takes only small home-improvement amounts of construction material, and the Town has no transfer station for trash, so a kitchen, bath or roofing job usually calls for a roll-off. No Board of Health dumpster regulation or permit was found for a bin on a private driveway. A bin on the road may need a permit from the Select Board or the Highway Division under General Bylaw 148.4. Bin There Dump That posts Westford prices from $445 for a 10-yard bin with 1 ton included to $700 for a 20-yard with 3 tons, and 7 or 14 days depending on season. Casella quotes by phone for bins up to 40 yards. If the job involves tearing down any part of a building, the Board of Health's Pre-Demolition approval comes first.

The first decision in Westford

Match the terms to your project.

Bin There Dump That is the only one of the two with published Westford prices, bin dimensions, included tonnage and a rental length (7 days in the busy season, 14 in the slower season), and it offers small masonry-only 4- and 6-yard bins, but it tops out at 20 yards. Casella offers containers up to 40 yards for larger demolition or construction jobs but posts no price, weight allowance or rental length for Westford, so compare its written quote against Bin There Dump That's listed rates.

Your local checklist

If your project removes any part of an existing building, file the Board of Health Pre-Demolition application at least 14 days before work starts. Under the regulation, keep enough dumpsters on site so debris never sits on the ground, and have them hauled when full.
Keep the roll-off on your driveway if you can. If it must sit on a Westford street or sidewalk, ask the Highway Division (978-692-5520, whighway@westfordma.gov) first whether you need a permit under General Bylaw 148.4.
Sort out what the Town will still take before you fill the bin. Small burnable items under 50 pounds can go out with a $15 bulk sticker, and scrap metal can go to Westford Metals on Broadway. Keep paint thinners and other hazardous products out of the roll-off and save them for the June household hazardous waste day at the Highway Garage.

No Westford dumpster permit was found for a private driveway; ask the Highway Division before putting a bin in the road

The Board of Health's list of local regulations has no dumpster regulation. Its schedule of fees, effective January 1, 2024, lists no dumpster permit and no solid-waste hauler permit; the only hauler license it lists is for septage haulers. The Town's online permitting portal offers no dumpster, street-occupancy or obstruction permit. This guide found no Westford rule requiring a permit for a roll-off on a private driveway, but that is not the same as a statement that none is needed. Call the Health Department (978-692-5509) or the Building Department to confirm. The street is different. General Bylaw § 148.4 requires a written permit from the Select Board, or the board in charge of the streets, before anyone places staging or another temporary structure on a sidewalk, street or highway. § 148.5 bars placing rubbish or refuse of any kind on a street. The Highway Division's only posted form is the Permit to Excavate a Public Way ($50), which is written for excavation, not dumpsters. No dumpster-specific street permit, fee or time limit was found. Before placing a bin on the pavement or sidewalk, contact the Highway Division at the Town Garage, 28 North Street (978-692-5520, whighway@westfordma.gov). Keeping the bin on your own driveway avoids the question.

What matters locally

Westford's bulk pickup takes only small amounts of renovation material

Under the Town's Bulk Items Policy, a burnable item under 50 pounds that one person can lift goes out on your regular trash day with a $15 yellow bulk sticker (Town Clerk or Market Basket), one per week. Heavier burnable items are scheduled with E.L. Harvey (1-800-321-3002) for a fee: $44 for 50 to 75 pounds under 48 inches, $54 for 50 to 75 pounds over 48 inches, and $100 over 75 pounds, two per week. Appliances, bulk metal and TVs are also booked with E.L. Harvey ($24 to $100 depending on weight). Construction materials are accepted only in small home-improvement amounts. Sheetrock, tile, roofing, insulation, granite, ceramic and oil-based paint are excluded, and wood must be bundled in 4-foot lengths. Mattresses and textiles are banned from trash. Purely metal items can go to Westford Metals at 69 Broadway as scrap.

Household hazardous waste goes to a once-a-year collection at the Highway Garage

Paint thinners, solvents and other household hazardous products cannot go in a rental roll-off. Westford holds its household hazardous waste collection at the Highway Garage, 28 North Street, on Saturday, June 13, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Town subsidizes the event but residents still pay by check to the Town of Westford: $30 for up to 10 pounds or gallons and $50 for up to 25, with more for larger amounts. Westford residents cannot use the Minuteman regional facility in Lexington. The Town's page links a schedule of other towns' events open to Westford residents.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Westford.

Can I put renovation debris out with Westford's curbside trash instead of renting a dumpster?

Only small amounts. The Town's Bulk Items Policy accepts construction materials only in small home-improvement quantities and excludes sheetrock, tile, roofing, insulation, granite, ceramic and oil-based paint. Wood must be bundled in 4-foot lengths. Burnable items under 50 pounds need a $15 bulk sticker, one per week, and heavier items are booked with E.L. Harvey for $44 to $100 each, two per week. Under the Pay-As-You-Throw program that began July 6, 2026, each household has one 35-gallon cart, and extra trash goes in $2.75 official bags of 30 pounds or less. A gutted bathroom or a roof tear-off will not fit within those limits, so most residents rent a roll-off.

Does a Westford homeowner need a permit for a roll-off in the driveway?

No dumpster permit was found in Westford's posted rules. The Board of Health's list of local regulations includes no dumpster or solid-waste regulation, and its fee schedule effective January 1, 2024 lists no dumpster permit or trash-hauler permit. The General Bylaws have no dumpster section. One Board of Health rule can still apply: if you are demolishing all or part of a building, the Pre-Demolition Regulations (effective July 1, 2025) require Board approval before the building permit, and they require enough dumpsters on site to hold the debris. A bin on a public street may need a permit under General Bylaw 148.4. Because this guide found no rule rather than an explicit exemption, confirm with the Health Department at 978-692-5509.
