Dumpster rental
in Wiscasset.

Wiscasset has no Town trash pickup, so remodeling debris either rides to the Fowle Hill Road transfer station in a sticker-bearing vehicle, where lumber runs 8 cents a pound and mixed demolition debris 13 cents, or goes into a rented roll-off. Riverside Disposal and Casella both name Wiscasset but publish no prices, so compare written quotes. The Town has no dumpster permit on file, so keep the container on your own lot.

The first decision in Wiscasset

Match the terms to your project.

Neither company posts a Wiscasset price, rental period or weight allowance, so the written quote decides it. Riverside has a Wiscasset page, lists exact 15-, 20- and 30-yard dimensions, spells out per-item charges for Freon items, tires and electronics, and is one of the haulers the Town licenses to tip at its transfer station. Casella offers containers up to 40 yards and publishes clearance needs (22 feet overhead, 34 feet of straight approach) that matter on tight village lots, but its Wiscasset page carries no local detail.

Your local checklist

Measure a level spot on your driveway or lot with 22 feet of overhead clearance, since the Town's only street-use rule covers building materials and requires Select Board approval.
Ask Riverside and Casella for written quotes that state rental days, included tonnage, per-ton overage and where the load will be dumped.
For a small cleanout, price it at the Fowle Hill Road transfer station: get a vehicle sticker with proof of residency, pull out mattresses ($5) and appliances ($15), and ask whether the $0.13-a-pound C&D rate or the $160-a-ton figure applies.

Riverside has its own Wiscasset page listing Dumpsters and Rolloffs among its services there, but it says services vary by location, so confirm roll-off delivery to your address. Wiscasset licenses commercial haulers that tip at the Town transfer station, and an August 2026 Town memo says Riverside was reminded to file its license renewal. Ask whether your load will go to the Wiscasset facility or elsewhere.

No dumpster permit found; Wiscasset's street-use rule covers building materials during permitted work

No Wiscasset form, fee or ordinance section written specifically for dumpsters or roll-offs in the street was found. The nearest rule is Article II (Building Laws), Section 4 of the Town ordinances (June 2024 edition). Section 4.1 says that when a building permit is granted for land next to a street, the Select Board may allot part of the street for depositing materials, no more than half its width; the allotted area must be enclosed and lighted, and the Road Commissioner can remove material at the builder's expense if directions are ignored. Section 4.2 bars leaving lumber, stone or other building material in the village's streets, alleys, squares or other public places for more than six hours without Select Board permission. Neither section names dumpsters, and the Public Works Highway Opening Permit is for excavating a road, not for parking a container. So plan to keep the roll-off on your own driveway or lot. If you need street space, ask the Town Office (207-882-8200) or Public Works at 42 Hodge Street (207-882-8220) before you book delivery. Route 1, Route 27 and Route 218 are state highways; the Town's business guide sends Route 1 questions to MaineDOT.

What matters locally

Fowle Hill Road transfer station prices debris by the pound

The Town transfer station at 78 Fowle Hill Road (207-882-8231) is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 7:55 a.m. to 3:55 p.m. and Wednesday from 9:55 a.m. to 5:55 p.m., and closed Sunday and Monday. The fee schedule updated December 23, 2025 lists lumber at $0.08 a pound ($160 a ton) and construction and demolition debris, including carpet and pressure-treated wood, at $0.13 a pound. The C&D line also prints $160 a ton, which does not match the per-pound rate, so ask which one applies. Brush is $20 a ton with a $5 minimum. Under Article V, Section 3 of the Town ordinances, every vehicle using the facility must display a permit sticker, issued at the station on proof of Wiscasset residency or business ownership. Recycling is mandatory, and the station does not take antifreeze or gasoline.

Mattresses, appliances and tires each carry a flat fee

The same 2025 schedule charges $5 each for a mattress, box spring, sofa or stuffed chair, $15 each for white goods such as washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and water heaters, and $5 for a TV or computer monitor. Tires are $8 on the rim and $5 off the rim up to 19.5 inches, rising to $20 for 20 to 24 inches. Propane tanks are $3 for a 20-pound tank and $20 for a 100-pound tank. Riverside Disposal also bills Freon items, tires and electronics separately when they go in a roll-off, so sorting these out for the transfer station can cut a rental bill.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Wiscasset.

Can a roll-off sit on the street in Wiscasset village?

Wiscasset has no permit written for dumpsters. Article II, Section 4 of the Town ordinances lets the Select Board allot up to half a street for building materials once a building permit is granted, with the area enclosed and lighted. It also bars leaving building materials in village streets or public places for more than six hours without Select Board permission. A roll-off isn't named, so don't assume it qualifies. Plan to keep the container on private property, and call the Town Office (207-882-8200) or Public Works (207-882-8220) before booking if you need street space. Route 1 is a state highway; ask MaineDOT about it.

Does my rented dumpster have to go to the Wiscasset transfer station?

No such rule was found. Article V (Solid Waste) limits the Town facility to Wiscasset residents and businesses, towns under contract and haulers licensed by the Select Board, and bars waste brought in from other towns. It requires a hauler license only for haulers who carry waste for hire to the Town facility (Section 4.1). It does not say that waste generated in Wiscasset must go there. If you haul debris yourself, your vehicle needs a transfer station sticker; lumber is $0.08 a pound and construction and demolition debris $0.13 a pound under the December 2025 schedule.
