How much does it cost to rent a dumpster in MA?

In Massachusetts, dumpster rental costs vary by size and provider. At McDumpsters, our 15-yard roll off dumpster starts at $350 and 20-yard at $400. This includes delivery, pickup, and a 72-hour rental period. Additional days are $15/day. Debris weight is billed at $0.20/lb based on the actual dump ticket — no estimates or surprise charges.

Is it cheaper to rent a dumpster or go to the dump?

For most projects, renting a dumpster is cheaper and saves significant time. Multiple dump runs cost $25-50 per trip in disposal fees, plus gas, vehicle wear, and 1-2 hours each trip. A $350 dumpster rental (15-yard) replaces 4-5 truck loads. You also avoid the physical labor of loading, driving, and unloading each trip.

What is not allowed in a dumpster in Massachusetts?

Massachusetts DEP prohibits: hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, solvents, motor oil), electronics (computers, TVs, monitors), appliances with freon (refrigerators, AC units), batteries, tires, medical waste, and asbestos. Most household junk, construction debris, furniture, roofing shingles, and yard waste are accepted. See our full restricted items guide for details.

What size dumpster do I need?

It depends on your project. Our 15-yard dumpster ($350) handles cleanouts, single-room renovations, basement projects, and deck removals — about 4-5 truck loads. The 20-yard ($400) is for roofing projects, kitchen gut jobs, and multi-room renovations — about 6-8 truck loads. Call us for a free recommendation.

Will a couch fit in a 15 yard dumpster?

Yes, a couch will easily fit in a 15-yard dumpster with plenty of room to spare. Our 15-yard dumpster is 16 feet long x 7.5 feet wide x 4.5 feet tall — more than enough for furniture items. You could fit a couch, loveseat, and many other large items with room for more debris.

Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Massachusetts?

Not if the dumpster is placed on your own driveway or private property. If you need street placement, most Massachusetts towns require a Street Occupancy Permit from the local DPW. We can help you with the permit process for all 13 towns in our service area including Billerica, Chelmsford, Lowell, and Tewksbury.

How long can I keep a rented dumpster?

The base rental includes 72 hours (3 days). You can keep it longer for $15 per additional day — no penalties or surprise fees. Most customers keep their dumpster 3-7 days. For contractors needing longer rentals, we offer flexible scheduling.
