Fair. Simple. Reliable.
Look up the price, make the call, get the container. ZTERS publishes real Massachusetts prices, keeps the order to a single conversation, and sets the delivery date on that same call.
Roofing shingles and old siding come off a lot of Scituate's coastal homes, work that runs heavy and often calls for a 20 or 30 yard rather than a smaller container. Inland toward Sherman Corner and Laurelwood, cleanouts and remodels tend to produce more volume than weight, furniture, cabinets and drywall that fill a container before it gets heavy. Yard debris from storm cleanup near Cudworth Field is common too, and it stacks quickly once branches and brush start piling up.
Delivery day in Scituate often depends on the season, since coastal routes near the harbor can get busier in summer months. Drops along Washington Street and MA 3A are routine, wide roads with plenty of shoulder to work with. Near Tack Factory Pond and Town Marina, driveways can be shorter and closer to the water, so the truck needs a clear straight shot to set the container down safely. Boston-area crews handle the wider South Shore route, and Scituate is a regular stop on it. Before the truck comes, make sure your driveway is clear of vehicles and anything overhanging so the delivery goes smoothly on the first try.
Dumpster Sizes in Scituate
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Scituate, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
Smallest of the fleet, the 10 yard takes a bathroom gut or one room's flooring without wasting driveway. $875 to $1110, and it leaves space for a car beside it.
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.
Commercial jobs and full demolitions book the 40 yard, $1260 to $1501. If the approach bends or slopes, ask about running two smaller containers instead.
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.
When a 10 would overflow and a 20 will not fit the drive, the 15 yard splits the difference — extra height on the same length, room for a whole-garage clearout.
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.
The 30 yard, $1055 to $1345, is for volume: full-house clearouts, siding jobs, framing scrap. Bulky and light is its business; dense material belongs in a smaller size.
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 Scituate, 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
A jobsite container earns its keep on turnaround. One account manager handles the drops and swaps, the size tracks what the phase produces, and the staging spot needs a straight approach so a loaded truck is not threading parked equipment. Heavy phases go in smaller containers loaded level.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Scituate
- 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 Scituate, MA?
Dumpster rental pricing in Scituate 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 Scituate
| 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 Scituate 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) 880-7713 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 Scituate
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
Scituate dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Scituate 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.
Three things before the truck arrives. Surface: a level spot on pavement or packed gravel, long enough for the container plus a straight run in behind it. Clearance: nothing overhead, because the bed tilts higher than the container stands and a low limb or service line stops the drop cold. Access: move vehicles off the drive the night before and unlock any gate the driver would need.
Plywood under the rails keeps a soft or freshly sealed driveway from marking. Mark the spot if you will not be home. A blocked drop usually turns into a trip charge and a rescheduled delivery, which is the one avoidable cost in the whole rental.
Usually quickly, but it depends on the week. Deliveries are grouped by direction, so how soon a container reaches Scituate comes down to what is already on the schedule for that part of the map.
If the project has a firm start date, call a couple of days ahead of it. Same-week drops happen all the time; counting on one without asking first is how people end up waiting.
Roofing debris and renovation waste don't change the permit picture in Scituate. If the dumpster sits on your own driveway, no town permit is required.
Placement anywhere else, including near Egypt Park or along King Street, means checking with the town's building department first, since public space isn't covered by the general rule.
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.
Scituate runs from rocky coastline to quieter inland lots, and coverage looks a little different across each. Near Sherman Corner and Laurelwood the routes are mostly residential streets and driveways. Closer to Hunters Pond and Sheep Ponds, drivers meet longer gravel lanes and more tree cover.
Coverage extends the same toward Plymouth and Weymouth, with no part of town out of reach.
Deck and remodel debris don't need special sign-off beyond the usual driveway rule in Scituate. When placement in the street or public way is unavoidable, near Main Street or elsewhere downtown, applying means contacting the town's building department directly with your address and dates.
They'll confirm whether approval is needed and what it costs.
