Dumpster rental
in Woolwich.

Woolwich's Town-paid curbside pickup handles bagged household trash only, and the Town has no transfer station, so a remodel or cleanout means either a rented roll-off or hauling debris yourself to Bath's landfill at $157 a ton for non-residents. Riverside Disposal and Casella both name Woolwich but publish no prices, so get written quotes. No dumpster permit exists, so keep the container on your own lot, and avoid spring road postings.

The first decision in Woolwich

Match the terms to your project.

Neither company posts a Woolwich price, rental length or weight allowance, so the written quote decides it. Riverside has a Woolwich page that lists roll-offs and demolition, publishes exact 15-, 20- and 30-yard dimensions and per-item charges for Freon items, tires and electronics, and already runs the Town's curbside trash route. Casella goes up to 40 yards and spells out the clearance its truck needs (22 feet overhead, 34 feet of straight approach), which matters on wooded rural lots, but its Woolwich page has no local detail.

Your local checklist

If your job falls in late winter or early spring, call Road Commissioner Jack Shaw (207-443-3932) before booking, since posted Town roads carry a 23,000-pound limit and he asks haulers to call first.
Pick a firm, level spot on your own driveway or lot with 22 feet of overhead clearance, because Woolwich has no permit for putting a container on a Town road.
Ask Riverside and Casella for written quotes stating rental days, included tonnage, per-ton overage and the disposal site, then compare them with self-hauling to Bath's landfill at $157 a ton plus a $30 minimum.

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, plus smaller 2- to 10-yard dumpsters, per the company's Dumpsters and Rolloffs page. Dimensions are approximate.
Rental & weight terms: Rental period, included weight, overage and extra-day rates are not published; request a written quote. Material must be loaded over the top.

Price basis: Not published; quote only. Phone 207-623-2577; office at 700 River Road, Chelsea.

Riverside has its own Woolwich page listing Dumpsters and Rolloffs and Demolition among its services, but the page says offerings vary by location, so confirm roll-off delivery to your address. Riverside is also the Town's contracted curbside trash and recycling hauler, which is a separate service from a roll-off rental. Ask where a roll-off load will be dumped.

Casella Waste Systems

Published sizes: Up to 40 cubic yards ("up to 16 truck loads"). The page's size comparison table has column headings but no rows, so individual sizes are not published.

Price basis: Not published. Casella says one flat rate covers the container, delivery and pickup, and that the price depends on size, location and rental length. Phone 800-227-3552; questions 802-683-3984 (weekdays 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

Page headed Dumpster Rental in Woolwich, ME, with no local address or Woolwich-specific details.

No Woolwich dumpster permit found; the only street permit is for digging up a road

No Woolwich ordinance section, form or fee written for dumpsters or roll-off containers in a road or right-of-way was found. The Town's only street permit comes from the Street Excavation Ordinance (adopted May 15, 1996), which requires a permit from the Road Commissioner before anyone opens or excavates a Town street, issued within five business days. It says nothing about parking a container on a road, so do not read it as either allowing or banning one. The Forms & Permits page lists that Street Opening Permit and an Application for Entrance (driveway), and nothing for dumpsters. Plan to set the roll-off on your own driveway or lot. If you think you need any part of a Town road, ask Road Commissioner Jack Shaw (207-443-3932) or the Town Office (207-442-7094) before you book delivery. The Road Commissioner's 2025 annual report also notes that Town roads are posted in late winter and early spring with a 23,000-pound limit, and asks haulers to call first; a loaded roll-off truck can exceed that, so time spring deliveries with him.

Town curbside contract covers household trash, not debris

Woolwich pays Riverside Disposal for weekly curbside trash pickup and every-other-week curbside recycling, and Riverside delivers both loads to ecomaine in Portland. The warrant article in the 2024-2025 Town report budgets $266,142.69 for that service, based on about 1,300 tons of trash and 233 tons of recyclables. Trash must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on your Tuesday or Wednesday pickup day; call the Town Office (207-442-7094) to confirm which. The Town has no transfer station; its old Middle Road landfill has been closed since November 1992. Nothing in the Town's materials says the curbside service takes construction or demolition debris, so plan on a roll-off or a self-haul trip for that.

Bath's landfill takes debris from non-residents by the ton

Because Woolwich has no transfer station, the nearest self-haul option found is the City of Bath landfill at 450 Oak Grove Avenue (207-443-8356), open weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Bath's current rate page charges non-residents $157 a ton for demolition and C&D debris, $80 a ton for brush, $110 a ton for metal and $145 a ton for shingles, with a $30 minimum per visit. Couches, mattresses, box springs and stuffed chairs are $50 each and a tire is $6.50. Non-residents can use the landfill without a permit at that minimum, or get a non-resident sticker with photo ID. These are Bath's rules, not Woolwich's, so call ahead.

Hazardous waste goes to a once-a-year collection in Bath

Woolwich budgets $2,500 a year to join the household hazardous waste collection day that Bath runs with area towns, for items such as oil-based paint, fuel, solvents and insecticides. The 2026 event was May 2 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Bath Public Works, limited to 20 Woolwich residents who signed up in advance, and the Town's notice says it filled. Riverside's roll-off page also bars gas, oil, paint and household chemicals from its containers, so set these aside for next year's event.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Woolwich.

Will Woolwich's curbside trash pickup take my renovation debris?

Not as far as the Town's own documents show. The Town contract with Riverside Disposal and ecomaine is for weekly curbside refuse collection and every-other-week recycling, budgeted on about 1,300 tons of trash a year, and nothing in the Town's materials extends it to construction or demolition debris. Woolwich has no transfer station; its landfill closed in 1992. For debris, rent a roll-off or haul it yourself to an outside site such as the City of Bath landfill, which charges non-residents $157 a ton for demolition debris. The Woolwich Solid Waste Ordinance says disposal must follow the Town's current arrangements, so if you are unsure, ask the Town Office (207-442-7094).

Do I need a Town permit to put a dumpster in my Woolwich driveway?

No Woolwich permit written for dumpsters was found. The Planning Ordinance and Site Plan Review Ordinance have no dumpster, roll-off or storage-container rules, and site plan review does not apply to one- and two-family homes. The only street permit is the Road Commissioner's Street Opening Permit for excavating a road, which does not cover parking a container. That is not a ruling that a container may sit on a road, so keep it on private property. The project itself may need a building permit: the Planning Ordinance requires one to erect a building over 200 square feet or change the bulk of a building. Ask Code Enforcement Officer Mike Field (207-295-4332).
