Dumpster Rental Taunton MA

Price depends on the size, how dense the debris is, how long you keep it and where the job sits relative to our yard on Cushman St. What matters more is how the price is built. Ours is a flat rate covering delivery, the rental period, pickup, fuel, disposal and a stated tonnage allowance, so the number you are quoted is the number you pay unless you go over the weight. Call with a short description of the job and you will get a firm figure.

Most orders placed before noon go out the same day across Taunton and into the closer parts of Bristol and Plymouth County. Afternoon bookings usually land first thing the next morning. Jobsite swap-outs get priority because a full container stops a crew working, and storm cleanup after a nor'easter gets the same urgency — downed limbs and roof debris do not wait for a convenient week. The exceptions are honest ones — heavy rain that has made a street or yard too soft to work, a street placement that still needs a town permit, or a driveway we need to look at before we commit a loaded truck to it.

Private property — your driveway or yard — generally does not need a permit. Placing a container on a public street or right-of-way is a different matter, and most Bristol and Plymouth County towns, Taunton included, require a temporary street-occupancy permit from the town's Department of Public Works before a roll-off can sit there. Rules vary a little from town to town, so tell us where the box is going and we will tell you which situation applies before the truck ever leaves the yard.

Liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, oil, propane tanks, asbestos and medical waste are all out, and Massachusetts bans a specific list of items from disposal statewide through MassDEP — asphalt pavement, brick and concrete; metal and white goods; wood; clean gypsum wallboard; whole tires; lead-acid batteries; CFC-containing appliances; cathode ray tubes; yard waste such as leaves and grass clippings; and recyclable paper, glass, metal and plastic containers. As of November 2022 that list also covers mattresses, box springs and textiles — a newer rule a lot of homeowners have not caught up with yet, and one of the first things we flag on a call. If you are unsure about an item, ask before you load it.

Because weight runs out before space does, and disposal is charged by the ton. A 30 yard box loaded with shingles, or with plaster and lath out of an old Silver City mill loft or triple-decker, will pass its tonnage allowance while it still looks half empty, and you pay the overage per ton. A 20 with a matched allowance often costs less for exactly the same job. Ask us and we will tell you exactly what applies to your load before you book.

It should not, and we take real steps to prevent it. Boards go under the rails and roller contact points on every driveway placement at no extra charge. Damage almost always happens during the roll-off and pick-up rather than while the container sits. A driveway that is already cracked, heaved or spalling carries more risk whatever anyone does, especially after a hard New England winter — flag it and we will pick a better spot or protect it further.

It can, and it is worth mentioning when you call. A lot of Taunton's converted mill buildings and its triple-deckers were built well before 1978, which means paint disturbed during demo work should be treated as lead-containing until it is tested, and old plumbing, insulation and plaster-and-lath walls tend to weigh far more than a modern renovation would. That changes both the container size we recommend and, if the street is tight and the box has to sit off the driveway, whether a town permit applies. Tell us the building and the scope of work and we will size it and place it accordingly.
