Dumpster Rental in
Madawaska, ME
Four container sizes cover most jobs in Madawaska: 10, 20, 30 and 40 yards. The 10 yard runs $695-$809 for 10 days; the bigger sizes take full remodels and tear-offs.
Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
Look up the price, make the call, get the container. ZTERS publishes real Maine prices, keeps the order to a single conversation, and sets the delivery date on that same call.
A 20-yard container is a sensible starting point for most Madawaska jobs because the older houses in Cleveland, Saint David, and Lavertue were built with plaster, lath, and solid wood. Tear into that and you are moving volume more than weight, so a 20 can hold what a smaller container would need to come back for. A 10-yard still suits a single-room tear-out or a shed, and a 30 or 40 gives breathing room when a whole house is being cleaned out and the bulky pieces start to pile up.
On delivery day, the drop-off itself is quick once the truck is lined up. Madawaska has a mix of wide shoulders and older blocks: US 1 gives the driver room, while the tighter stretches around Rue Principale need a cleared path and a little patience. The one check worth making before the truck arrives is the route from the street to the spot you have chosen—walk it and look up. The bed tilts high to set a container down, so a low limb or service line over the drive stops a drop that looked fine from the ground. A level, firm strip under the rails is all the surface needs; soft grass after a wet week will not hold.
Dumpster Sizes in Madawaska
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Madawaska, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
One stripped room, a shed coming down, the end of a long-postponed cleanout: the 10 yard takes it for $695 to $809 and fits where bigger containers cannot.
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.
A 20 yard holds a kitchen down to the studs and the bathroom that went with it, at $790 to $920. If the debris is mostly shingles or tile, weight decides before space does — say so when you order.
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.
Nothing bigger goes on a truck. The 40 yard runs $990 to $1155 and suits light, high-volume debris; loaded with anything dense it hits the road-weight limit half full.
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.
The 15 yard adds height without adding length, so it still fits a normal drive. Good for a garage cleanout plus whatever came off the walls with 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.
The 30 yard is the clearout size: attic, basement and garage in one container, $835 to $955. Tall sides add capacity, not weight allowance, so concrete and dirt still price by weight.
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 Madawaska, ME
For homeowners
A household cleanout fills a container with awkward shapes rather than heavy ones: a sleeper sofa, bagged clothing, the contents of a garage that has been closing on itself for a decade. Bathroom and kitchen remodels add cabinets and torn-out flooring. A 10 or a 20 yard usually sits on a Madawaska driveway without blocking the garage door.
For contractors
Roofing crews watch weight, not space: a tear-off hits the tonnage allowance long before the rim. Demo crews are the same with plaster and tile. Framing and cleanup phases flip it — bulky, light, volume-driven. Say what phase the Madawaska job is in and the container follows.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Madawaska
- 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 Madawaska, ME?
Dumpster rental pricing in Madawaska 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 Madawaska
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $695 – $809 | — | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $790 – $920 | $90 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $835 – $955 | $145 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $990 – $1155 | $42 | 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 Madawaska 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) 880-7192 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 Madawaska
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
Madawaska dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Madawaska dumpster costs range from $695 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1155 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.
If you are in the middle of a cleanout or renovation, ZTERS covers the Madawaska area—Cleveland, Saint David, Fournier, and Lavertue, along with the neighborhoods around Parc Hermyle-Mercure and the Native Village. The driver is used to the mix: older-house debris in the residential streets, construction material around the recreation areas, and ordinary household junk on the main roads. No neighborhood changes how the delivery works; the same truck backs in and sets the container where you have cleared the spot.
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.
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 Madawaska 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.
Do you need a permit before the container arrives? Not for a dumpster on your own driveway or property. The permit question in Madawaska is tied to the right-of-way: if the container will sit on a sidewalk, a street, or the shoulder of a route, check with the Town of Madawaska office first. Tell them where the container will go and how long you need it, and they will tell you whether a permit is required.
The container will sit in a parking lane or on the shoulder, and that is the first thing to settle. On US 1 and the wider routes there is room for the truck to line up and set a container, but the container has to stay clear of hydrants, driveways, and sight lines at intersections. Around Rue Principale, the older blocks are narrower and parked cars edge in close, so a driveway or yard is usually the better choice. Either way, leave the driver a straight approach and keep the area around the container clear while it is there.
Almost everything from a renovation or cleanout is accepted. The exceptions come from the disposal facility, not from us: paint and liquids, motor oil, fuel, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, medical waste, and appliances with refrigerant still in them.
Heavy masonry, concrete and dirt are allowed but priced by weight, which is worth mentioning at booking instead of discovering at the scale. Unsure about something? Ask before it goes in.
