Maine / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Windsor.

Windsor has no curbside pickup, and its transfer station on Transfer Way weighs debris at 20 cents a pound, or $400 a ton, for residents only. A few pickup loads of remodeling scrap are cheap to haul there yourself. A roof tear-off or gut job is usually easier in a roll-off. Riverside Disposal and Casella both name Windsor, but neither posts prices, so get written quotes. Put the container in your own yard, because no Town rule for road placement was found, and schedule around spring road postings.

The first decision in Windsor

Match the terms to your project.

Neither company publishes a Windsor price, rental length or weight allowance, so the written quotes are the real comparison. Riverside, based in nearby Chelsea, has its own Windsor page, publishes exact 15-, 20- and 30-yard dimensions and lists which items cost extra. Casella offers up to 40 yards and spells out its clearance needs (22 feet overhead, a 34-foot straight approach), which matter on long, tree-lined rural driveways, but its Windsor page has no local detail.

Your local checklist

Before a March to May delivery or pickup, ask the hauler whether your Windsor road is posted. Loaded trucks registered over 23,000 pounds can't use a posted Town road unless it is frozen or the Select Board issues a permit.
Ask Riverside and Casella for written quotes that state the rental days, included tonnage, per-ton overage and the disposal site. Windsor's station takes residents' loads, not haulers'.
For a small cleanup, price the Transfer Way station instead. Debris is 20 cents a pound, cash or check only, and Freon appliances ($15) and tires ($5 and up) cost less there than as roll-off surcharges.

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

Riverside Disposal & Recycling (Chelsea)

Published sizes: 15-yard (16' x 8' x 5'), 20-yard (20' x 8' x 4') and 30-yard (22' x 8' x 6') roll-offs, per the company's roll-off page (dimensions approximate).
Rental & weight terms: Rental period, included weight, overage and extra-day rates are not published; request a written quote. Containers have no door, so everything is loaded over the top. Freon items, tires, TVs and computers are charged separately by size. Gas, oil, paint and household chemicals are not accepted.
Price basis: Not published; quote only. Phone 207-623-2577; office at 700 River Road, Chelsea.

Riverside has its own Windsor, Maine page listing Dumpsters and Rolloffs, Curbside Pickup, Recycling and Demolition, and Windsor is on its Locations list. The page says service offerings vary by location, so confirm roll-off delivery to your road. Ask where the load will be dumped, since Windsor's station is for residents.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Casella Waste Systems

Published sizes: Up to 40 cubic yards ("up to 16 truck loads"). The page's size comparison table has headings but no rows, so individual sizes are not published.
Rental & weight terms: The page says most rentals include a standard period and that it is flexible, but gives no length. Included weight, overage and extra-day rates are not published; request a written quote.
Price basis: Not published. Casella says the price depends on size, location and rental length, and one flat rate covers the container, delivery and pickup. Phone 800-227-3552; questions 802-683-3984 (weekdays 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

The page is titled Dumpster Rental in Windsor, ME but has no Windsor-specific details. Placement guidance: at least 3 feet clear on each side, 22 feet overhead and a 34-foot straight approach. Keep the container off soft ground and grass and clear of driveways, sidewalks and hydrants. Salt or sand an icy spot before a winter delivery, and keep loads below the top edge.

No Windsor dumpster permit was found; keep the container on your lot and watch posted roads in mud season

No Windsor ordinance, permit or fee written for dumpsters or roll-offs on a road or right-of-way was found. The ordinances checked (Dump, Recycling, Littering, No Parking, Traffic, Building Code, Site Plan Review and Shoreland Zoning) do not mention dumpsters, so treat road placement as unconfirmed rather than allowed. The No Parking Ordinance bans parking on both sides of Ridge Road (Route 32) from Route 17 north to 190 Ridge Road and within 250 feet of the Route 32 and Route 105 intersection, and it treats vehicles left in those zones as obstructions the Road Commissioner can have towed. The Traffic Ordinance lets the Select Board post Town roads with seasonal weight limits. Once a road is posted, loaded vehicles registered over 23,000 pounds may not use it unless the road is frozen or the Select Board grants a written permit, and fines run $250 to $1,000. A loaded roll-off truck is usually over that limit, so ask the hauler whether your road is posted before booking a spring delivery or pickup. A new driveway entrance needs a permit; contact the Public Works Supervisor through the Town Office (207-445-2998). Numbered routes are state highways, so ask MaineDOT about those.

What matters locally

Windsor's transfer station charges 20 cents a pound for debris

The Town's transfer station pamphlet (revised June 2, 2025, with prices effective January 1, 2025) lists trash, bulky waste and construction debris at 20 cents a pound, weighed on the station scale. Brush and natural wood are also 20 cents a pound and count as construction debris, so they go in the bulky container. Truckloads and unusually large loads must see the scale attendant first. Recycling is free. The station is marked for Windsor residents only, takes cash or check only, and does not accept hazardous materials or liquids. Under the 1990 Recycling Ordinance, tires, white goods, brush and wood must be separated out before you unload. Hours on the pamphlet are Monday, Wednesday and Friday 2 to 7 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., but the Town changes hours by season, so confirm them before you load up.

Tires, Freon appliances and electronics have per-item fees

The same pamphlet sets per-item charges. Car and light-truck tires up to 20 inches are $5 each, truck tires $25 and skidder tires $100. Tires on rims are not accepted, so ask the staff where to take them. Air conditioners, dehumidifiers, water coolers, refrigerators and freezers are $15 each. TVs, monitors and laptops are $12 under 25 inches and $25 over 25 inches. Washers, dryers, microwaves (with the glass plate removed), dishwashers and garbage disposals are free. Propane tanks are $5 up to 20 pounds and $25 from 21 to 100 pounds. Staff price anything not listed. Riverside Disposal charges extra for Freon items, tires and electronics in a roll-off, so it may be cheaper to take those to the station yourself.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Windsor.

Does debris from a Windsor project have to go to the Town transfer station?

No such requirement was found. The Dump Ordinance (1975, amended 1987) says no one may dump solid waste anywhere in Windsor except the municipal dump, and that only residents and seasonal residents may use it. That is a ban on dumping elsewhere in town, not an order to bring all waste to the Town. The 1990 Recycling Ordinance only requires tires, white goods, brush and wood to be separated when waste is delivered. Neither ordinance licenses haulers, so a roll-off company can take your load to its own licensed site outside town. A Transfer Station Committee draft of a new Solid Waste Ordinance was discussed in 2023, but it is not on the Town's posted ordinance list.

Do I need a Windsor permit for a dumpster in my yard?

No Windsor permit for a dumpster on private property was found. Windsor has no townwide zoning, and the Site Plan Review Ordinance adopted in November 2023 does not apply to single-family homes, duplexes or buildings with three or fewer units. The Shoreland Zoning Ordinance governs land near lakes, streams and wetlands but has no dumpster rule, so keep the container out of the shoreland setback and off wet ground. If the delivery needs a new entrance from the road, contact Public Works through the Town Office (207-445-2998) about a driveway entrance permit first.
