Frequently Asked Questions

Dumpster rental pricing depends on the dumpster size, the type of debris, the rental duration, the disposal weight and the delivery location, so we quote each job rather than publish prices. We provide transparent flat-rate pricing whenever possible, with delivery, pickup and disposal costs explained up front and no hidden fees. Every quote includes a weight allowance — about 1 to 2 tons on a 10 yard, 2 to 3 on a 15, 3 to 4 on a 20, 4 to 5 on a 30 and 5 to 6 on a 40. Call (508) 952-9763 for a customized quote. The cost guide explains what moves the number.

Yes. Our flat-rate pricing includes delivery, pickup, disposal fees within the included weight allowance and the standard rental period. No hidden fees and no surprise charges.

Two things: going over the included weight, when an overage fee may apply based on the total weight at the disposal facility, and keeping the container past the standard rental period, at an additional daily or weekly fee. Additional pickups or swap-outs are part of the quote too. We explain all pricing and weight guidelines up front so there is nothing to find later.

Heavy material such as concrete, dirt, brick, asphalt or stone uses up the included weight fast, and it is generally limited to the smaller dumpsters for safety and transportation reasons. Heavy loads may need special handling or different pricing, so we size them differently and tell you where the weight line is before you load.

Most major credit and debit cards. Payment arrangements are typically completed when the rental is scheduled, to secure your delivery date. Where an independent provider handles the rental, billing may be handled by that provider, and we tell you on the call.

If the dumpster will sit on private property such as your driveway, permits are generally not required — we found no Norton permit rule for a roll-off on your own property, and no Town time limit or surface rule for one. A street is different. Norton's bylaw requires anyone who wants to use part of a public way for rubbish or building material during building work to get written permission from the Select Board first, and to keep the spot lit from sunset to sunrise, keep a railing or guard around it, restore the way afterward and sign an agreement to indemnify the Town (§135-7). The bylaw names no fee or time limit, and we found no online application, so ask the Select Board office at Town Hall. Nothing may be left obstructing travel on a street or sidewalk, and the Town can order it moved (§135-8). The permit guide and your town page cover the details.

In Norton, only with the Select Board's written permission, as above — and many Norton roads have no sidewalk and little spare width, so the driveway or another spot on the lot comes first. Route 123 (Old Colony Road) and Route 140 in Norton are state highway, and state law bars any obstruction on a state highway without MassDOT's written permit (M.G.L. c.81 §21); MassDOT has no permit type for a container, so there the box stays on the property. Elsewhere: Attleboro charges for occupying a sidewalk or street — $150 for up to three days, then $20 a day (Ord. §16-3.2); Dighton needs the Selectmen's written permit for any rubbish or obstruction in a street (General Bylaws Art. VII §5); Middleborough wants 14 days' notice to the Select Board and caps the permit at 90 days (§239-5); Plainville needs a written permit from the Select Board or the official in charge of streets, with lights and barriers at night (§398-8). Tell us when you book and we plan the placement around it.

Not always obvious. In Norton, Route 123 (Old Colony Road) and Route 140 are state highway, and Route 123 along West and East Main Street switches between state and town segments, so a Route 123 address is not automatically state-owned. Pleasant Street, where our yard is, is a town road. Route 1 through Foxborough, Wrentham, Plainville and North Attleborough is state highway too. If you are not sure, tell us the address and we will check which rules apply.

Because in Massachusetts every town's Board of Health permits the companies that haul waste through its streets, renewed each calendar year (M.G.L. c.111 §31A), and several regulate the dumpster itself. Norton licenses each hauling vehicle and requires every dumpster in town to be labelled with the company's name, phone number and an ID number (Board of Health Reg. Ch. 11). Taunton, Easton, Sharon, Foxborough, North Attleborough, Plainville and Seekonk have dumpster rules of their own. We found no exclusive roll-off franchise anywhere we serve. Each town page states its rule.

It can. HOA rules can cover containers on your driveway, and we do not know your HOA's rules — check them before you book.

We take precautions during delivery and pickup to help protect your property. For additional protection, some customers place plywood boards under the dumpster wheels, and protective boards may be available on request. Keep it off soft ground and grass.

A flat, stable surface such as a driveway, paved area or compact gravel; room for the container — about 14 feet long for a 10 yard, 16 feet for a 15, and about 22 feet for a 20 and up, all about 7.5 feet wide; enough room for the roll-off truck to reach the spot and set it down safely; and clear space overhead. Low branches, wires, parked cars, trailers and equipment are the usual problems.

Norton, Attleboro, North Attleborough, Mansfield, Rehoboth and Seekonk; Taunton, Raynham, Easton, Berkley, Dighton and Middleborough; and Foxborough, Plainville, Wrentham, Norfolk and Sharon — each with its own page. The complete Norton guide pulls it together.

At 50 Pleasant St, Norton, MA 02766 — in the Town of Norton, Bristol County, on a town road a short way off Route 123 (Old Colony Road) and close to the Attleboro line.

Mostly the timing. Middleborough, our furthest stop, is about 21 road miles from the yard, and Sharon about 17. Price depends partly on the delivery location, and we say any difference up front.

Both, in a way. Norfolk is a town of 11,662 people (2020 Census) with its own page here. Norfolk County is the county that Foxborough, Wrentham, Plainville, Norfolk and Sharon sit in. Our yard is in Norton, which is in Bristol County, and Middleborough is in Plymouth County.

Yes, through Board of Health permits rather than franchises. Sharon licenses every dumpster service, roll-offs included, and adds a construction and demolition dumpster permit; Foxborough's hauler licence covers companies that provide a dumpster to residential customers for cleanouts; Taunton requires a Waste Haulers Permit to supply a dumpster service; Easton requires a permit to operate a dumpster service plus a permit for each dumpster. Sharon's bylaw lets the town hire a single contractor for household trash, but its definition leaves out construction and demolition debris. We found no exclusive roll-off franchise anywhere we serve. Each town page says what that town asks for.
