Dumpster Rental in
Plymouth, MA
Roll-off dumpsters delivered anywhere in Plymouth and the rest of Plymouth County. Sizes run 10 to 40 yards, and a 10 yard is $875-$1110 for a 10-day rental — real local figures, not a teaser rate.
Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
Plymouth's Bradford-Union Street Historic District and the Plymouth Village Historic District hold a mix of old colonials and newer builds, and the work reflects it: attic cleanouts, garage purges, full kitchen remodels, and the occasional estate clear-out after years of accumulation. Roof tear-offs are common too, which is why the roofing square matters when you call. A 10-yard container handles most household cleanouts. Step up to a 20 for a whole-house remodel, and a 30 for demolition debris. Concrete, brick, and dirt get priced by weight, so the 10 with a level load is the honest workhorse.
You'll want to look at your driveway before delivery day, especially if it's older asphalt. The container sits on two steel rails, and hot-weather asphalt can mark or crack under the load. Trees are the bigger issue. A low limb over the drive stops a drop that looked fine from the ground, and the truck needs about 60 feet of straight approach to line up. Measure from the street to where you want it. Check overhead clearance from the road in. If you're off Carver Road or Samoset Street on a narrow lane, walk the route once and trim anything low. A straight, clear run makes the whole thing painless.

A 10 yard holds about three pickup-truck loads. That covers a closet-by-closet cleanout, a deck teardown, or the tile and mortar from one bathroom. $875 to $1110.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
Most kitchen-plus-bath remodels land in the 20 yard, $995 to $1315. It takes the cabinets, counters, subfloor and trim in one go, with the footprint of a delivery truck.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
The 40 yard is the largest we place, $1260 to $1501. Demolition volume. Check the approach before you order one, because it needs a long straight run.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
Cleanouts that outgrow a 10 usually land here. The 15 yard adds a third more space without a longer footprint, so a normal driveway still takes it.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
Estate clearances and gut renovations across several rooms fill a 30 yard, priced $1055 to $1345. The walls are tall, so big pieces go over the rail instead of through a door.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Plymouth, MA
For homeowners
Cleanouts, moves, remodels, a yard that got away — homeowner debris is mostly light and bulky, and a 10 or 20 yard handles it from the driveway. If the job includes tile, plaster or concrete, say so when you book: dense material changes which size is right.
For contractors
On a build or a gut job in Plymouth, the debris changes by phase — framing scrap is bulky, demolition is dense, tear-offs are heavier than they look. Matching the container to the phase beats parking one big container for the whole job, and swaps keep the site clear without a second setup.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Plymouth
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Plymouth, MA?
Dumpster rental pricing in Plymouth varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Plymouth
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $875 – $1110 | — | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $995 – $1315 | — | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $1055 – $1345 | — | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $1260 – $1501 | — | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Plymouth address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (888) 664-7740 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Plymouth
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Plymouth dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Plymouth dumpster costs range from $875 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1501 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
Plymouth has narrow, older streets in the historic districts and wider suburban roads elsewhere, so it depends on where you are. The town's zoning rules generally allow a dumpster on your property, but a street placement needs a permit from the Department of Public Works. On a tight lane near the waterfront, the driver may not be able to line up for a street drop at all. Call with your address and we'll tell you what the town will likely say.
Start with what is leaving the building. A 10 covers one bathroom or one room of flooring. A 20 handles a kitchen. Several rooms at once, or an outbuilding full of old storage, is where the 30 earns its keep.
Roofing throws off the usual math because shingles are dense, and the load hits its tonnage cap while the container still looks half empty. The same goes for concrete, brick and dirt. Say so at booking and the right size follows. If you are stuck between two sizes, the price gap is smaller than the cost of a second haul.
Plymouth's housing stock spans 400 years, and the town treats that history seriously. A permit is required for a dumpster on any public way, and the Plymouth Department of Public Works issues it. If the container sits entirely on your own driveway, you generally don't need one. When in doubt, the DPW office on Warren Avenue is a quick call, and we can talk through what the town asks for.
It depends where the trucks already are that week. Containers run routes, so a drop gets grouped with other stops heading the same direction, and how quickly one reaches Plymouth moves with how full the schedule already is.
Call with the dates you have in mind and ask for the current window. Ordering a day or two before you actually want to start loading is the habit that saves people a scramble.
The landfill sets the rules, and the short version is: nothing hazardous. Paint, solvents and other liquids, motor oil, fuel, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, medical waste, and appliances still holding refrigerant all stay out.
Ordinary demolition and cleanout debris is fine. Concrete, brick and dirt can go in, but they are billed by weight, so flag them when you book. When in doubt about an item, ask first; it beats paying to have it pulled back out.
Brewster Gardens Park anchors one side of town, and the Mayflower II sits at the waterfront. ZTERS delivers all over Plymouth, from the historic district to the newer residential communities and out toward the open land near Bartlett Pond. Each area has its own feel. The old streets near the center are tight, with limited turn-around. The newer developments have wider roads and easy access. Out by the ponds, the driveways are longer and the trees hang lower. We handle all of it, and we'll talk through your specific spot when you call.
