Dumpster rental
in Winthrop.

Winthrop residents can haul small amounts of renovation debris to the Town transfer station on Route 202, where demolition and bulky waste costs $210 a ton by scale weight and nothing over 6 feet long is taken. Anything bigger points to a roll-off. Casella and Chelsea-based Riverside Disposal both name Winthrop but post no prices, so get written quotes that state days, tonnage and overage. Keep the container off Town roads unless Public Works approves it.

The first decision in Winthrop

Match the terms to your project.

Neither company posts a price, rental length or weight allowance for Winthrop, so both rentals come down to the written quote. The difference is size range and base: Casella's Winthrop page offers boxes up to 40 yards, the largest option for a full teardown or camp cleanout. Riverside lists exact 15-, 20- and 30-yard roll-off dimensions, operates out of nearby Chelsea, and spells out its separate charges for freon items, tires and electronics. Riverside's town list doesn't say which services each town gets, so confirm roll-off delivery to your street.

Your local checklist
  1. Ask Casella and Riverside for written quotes that state the rental days, included tonnage and per-ton overage, since neither publishes them for Winthrop.
  2. Compare the quote against hauling a few loads yourself: the Route 202 transfer station charges $210 a ton (prorated by 20 pounds) with a $10 resident sticker, but rejects stumps and demolition pieces longer than 6 feet.
  3. Plan placement on your driveway or lot; Winthrop Public Works warns that private items in the right-of-way can be removed by Town crews, so call 207-377-7221 before anything touches a Town road or sidewalk.

Winthrop has a road-opening policy but no dumpster placement rule that we could find

Winthrop's Road Openings Policy (adopted by the Town Council May 3, 1999) requires a street-opening permit from the Road Commissioner or Town Manager before anyone digs into a street or sidewalk, bars openings from December 1 to March 15 except in emergencies, and makes the applicant responsible for traffic control. It covers excavation only and says nothing about containers. The Public Works page adds that private items placed in the public right-of-way stay there at the owner's risk and that Town crews may remove or damage anything that gets in the way of safety, drainage, visibility, plowing or other road work. We found no Winthrop ordinance, permit or fee for a roll-off on a Town road or sidewalk. That means the rule is unknown, not that no approval is needed. Keep the container on your own driveway or lot. If it must touch a Town road, shoulder or sidewalk, call Public Works Director Kevin Doyle (207-377-7221, 36 Main Street) first and get any approval in writing. US Route 202 is a state-numbered highway; ask MaineDOT, not the Town, about its right-of-way.

What matters locally

Route 202 transfer station charges $210 a ton for demolition and bulky waste

The Winthrop Transfer Station is at 1199 US Route 202 and is open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays (phone 207-377-7222). Residents must show proof of residency and buy a permit sticker, sold only at the station: $10 for the first vehicle and $2 for each additional vehicle in the household, valid for two years, with new stickers issued from April 2026. Under the fee schedule effective April 6, 2026, demolition, construction, bulky and commercial waste costs $210 per ton (10.5 cents a pound), prorated to the nearest 20 pounds. Every demolition or clean-wood load must cross the scale at the station entrance, and the driver reports where the load came from and signs the ticket. Mattresses, box springs, sofas, stuffed chairs and recliners are charged at the same per-ton rate. The station refuses stumps and any demolition piece longer than 6 feet. It takes only material from Winthrop residents. A non-resident hauling a resident's debris pays an extra $10.

Brush, tires and freon items have their own fees; leaves and grass are free

Brush must come from a Winthrop property, with no stumps. Commercial brush loads are charged by vehicle: $15 for a pickup up to one ton, $25 for a trailer or dump trailer, and $40 for a pulp truck or dump truck over one ton. Hay, grass clippings and leaves are free if they have no bags, brush, dirt or rocks mixed in, and residents can take up to 2 yards of finished compost a week when it is available. Other posted charges include $5 for car tires up to 19.5 inches, $15 for a refrigerator or freezer, $10 for a window air conditioner, and $5 for a TV or computer monitor. Hazardous waste is not accepted.

Questions about renting in Winthrop.

Can I take renovation debris to the Winthrop Transfer Station instead of renting a dumpster?

Yes, if the debris comes from a Winthrop home. The station on US Route 202 is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. You need proof of residency and a $10 sticker bought at the station. Demolition and construction loads must be weighed at the scale on the way in, and the fee since April 6, 2026 is $210 per ton, prorated to the nearest 20 pounds. Nothing longer than 6 feet is accepted, and stumps are refused. A non-resident hauling a resident's debris pays an extra $10.

Do I need a Town permit to put a dumpster on a Winthrop street?

We could not find one either way. Winthrop's Road Openings Policy only covers digging into streets and sidewalks, and the Town's licenses page lists no dumpster or obstruction permit. The Public Works page does say that private items in the right-of-way are there at the owner's risk and can be removed by Town crews if they interfere with plowing, drainage or visibility. Call Public Works at 207-377-7221 before placing a container on a Town road, and get any approval in writing. For US Route 202, ask MaineDOT.
