How Weight Charges Work

Unlike many dumpster companies that estimate your weight (and often overcharge), we take your dumpster to a licensed disposal facility where it is weighed on a certified scale. You get the actual dump ticket showing exact weight.

Weight fee: $0.20 per pound — applied to the debris weight only (we subtract the weight of the empty dumpster).

Typical weight ranges by project type:

  • Garage cleanout (15-yard): 800 - 1,500 lbs ($160 - $300)
  • Household cleanout (15-yard): 1,500 - 3,000 lbs ($300 - $600)
  • Kitchen renovation (20-yard): 2,000 - 4,000 lbs ($400 - $800)
  • Roofing shingles (20-yard): 3,000 - 5,000 lbs ($600 - $1,000)
  • Construction debris (20-yard): 2,000 - 6,000 lbs ($400 - $1,200)

DUMPSTER RENTAL COST FAQ

Everything you need to know about dumpster rental pricing, costs, and what to expect.

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

+

In Massachusetts, dumpster rental costs vary by size and company. At McDumpsters, our 15-yard roll off dumpster starts at $350 and our 20-yard at $400. This flat rate includes delivery, pickup, and a 72-hour rental period. Debris weight is billed separately at $0.20/lb based on the actual certified dump ticket — not an estimate. Most homeowners in the Billerica and Middlesex County area spend $510 to $1,000 total depending on debris weight.

How much should I expect to pay for a dumpster?

+

For a typical home cleanout or renovation project, expect to pay $510-$700 total with McDumpsters. That breaks down to $350-$400 for the dumpster rental (depending on 15 or 20-yard size) plus $160-$300 for debris weight. Larger projects like roofing or construction can run $750-$1,400 total due to heavier materials. We give you the actual dump ticket so you know exactly what you're paying for — no guesswork.

What is the average cost of a roll off dumpster rental?

+

The average cost of a roll off dumpster rental in Massachusetts ranges from $350 to $600 for the base rental, depending on size. A 15-yard roll off typically costs $350-$450, while a 20-yard runs $400-$550. Some companies charge extra for delivery, pickup, fuel surcharges, and environmental fees. At McDumpsters, we include delivery and pickup in our flat rate — the only variable cost is debris weight at $0.20/lb.

Is it cheaper to rent a dumpster or haul debris to the dump yourself?

+

For most projects, renting a dumpster is both cheaper and more convenient. Multiple trips to the transfer station cost $25-$50 per trip in disposal fees, plus gas, vehicle wear, and 1-2 hours per trip. A single dumpster replaces 4-8 pickup truck loads. Factor in the time savings and physical labor, and a $350 dumpster rental typically saves $200-$400 compared to DIY hauling for a medium-sized project.

What size dumpster do I need for my project?

+

Our 15-yard roll off (16' x 7.5' x 4.5') handles most residential projects — garage cleanouts, single-room renovations, deck removals, and flooring projects. It holds about 4-5 pickup truck loads. Our 20-yard (22' x 7.5' x 4.5') is better for roofing projects, kitchen gut jobs, whole-home cleanouts, and construction debris — about 6-8 truck loads. Not sure? Call us at (978) 375-2272 and we'll recommend the right size based on your specific project.

Are there any hidden fees with dumpster rental?

+

Not with McDumpsters. Our pricing is straightforward: a flat rental fee ($350 for 15-yard, $400 for 20-yard) plus debris weight at $0.20/lb. We don't charge fuel surcharges, environmental fees, or delivery charges. The only additional cost is $15/day if you need extra time beyond the 72-hour rental period. You get the actual dump ticket from the certified scale — complete transparency.

How long can I keep a rental dumpster?

+

Our standard rental period is 72 hours (3 days), which is plenty of time for most residential projects. Need more time? Extra days are just $15/day. For larger construction or renovation projects that take longer, just let us know upfront and we'll work out a rental period that fits your timeline. There's no penalty for calling early for pickup if you finish sooner than expected.

Do you offer same-day dumpster delivery?

+
