At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Auburn, Maine, and the Lewiston-Auburn area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Auburn's older homes near downtown and New Auburn often need new roofs, porches, and kitchens. Add new construction out toward Lake Auburn and along the turnpike, and there's steady demand for roll-off containers from homeowners and builders.
Your price depends on the container size, the type of debris, how long you keep the dumpster, and the disposal fees where your load is taken. Below, you'll find our price ranges, how to handle permits, what the local waste plant turns away, and where your debris goes.

Here's what changes the price of a dumpster in Auburn.
Size is the first choice you'll make. The right container handles the job in one trip. Too small, and you may end up paying for a second haul.
Weight is the second. Shingles, plaster, and wet lumber pile up weight quickly, and heavy loads use up your included tonnage.
Disposal fees are the third. Auburn is home to Maine Waste to Energy, a waste plant owned by Auburn and other member towns. It charges $210 per ton for bulky and construction waste, plus per-item fees for TVs, mattresses, refrigerators, and tires.
The fourth is sorting. Because the plant burns waste to make power, it handles items that won't burn, like concrete, stumps, and big appliances, in a separate area. Let us know what you're tossing so the load is sorted the right way.

Choose your size based on how much debris you have and how heavy it is. We carry containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, a small shed teardown, or a basement cleanout. It's also the pick for concrete, brick, and stone, since heavy loads hit the weight limit before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a kitchen update, a garage cleanout, or new floors in several rooms. You get more space without a big price jump.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a popular choice in Auburn for a full house cleanout or a roof replacement on a typical New England home. It handles most household jobs.
The 30-Yard Dumpster covers large renovations, additions, and new home construction. It's a good choice for jobs with lots of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest size. It's made for commercial construction, large demolition work, and mill or warehouse cleanouts.
Tell your account manager about the job, and they'll help you pick the best fit.
If the dumpster sits on private property, such as your driveway or yard, you generally won't need a City permit in Auburn. That's the simplest setup, and it keeps the street clear for plows in winter.
The City's permits page doesn't list a separate permit for a dumpster on a street. The Engineering office handles permits for work tied to the public way, such as driveway entrances and excavation. If your container has to go in the street or on a sidewalk, check with Engineering first.
Permit applications go through the City's online SmartGov portal, and paper forms can be returned to Auburn Hall at 60 Court Street. For questions, call City Hall at 207-333-6600, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Your account manager can help you find the right contact before delivery.
Most household junk and building debris can go in a roll-off. The limits come from Maine's waste rules and from the waste plant that takes your load.
Maine Waste to Energy won't accept hazardous waste as defined by federal and Maine rules, or the special wastes Maine regulates separately. Its facility rules also turn away explosives, ashes, loose liquids, and vehicles. The plant doesn't take fluorescent bulbs either.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. For household hazardous waste, the City points residents to collection days run by its regional partner, AVCOG.
Some items go to a separate area at the plant instead of the main pit. These include large appliances, car batteries, stumps, wooden pallets, and construction debris that won't burn. Tell your account manager about any of these before you load.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Most dumpster loads from Auburn go to Maine Waste to Energy at 110 Goldthwaite Road, Auburn, Maine 04210. The plant is run by the Mid-Maine Waste Action Corporation, which is owned by 12 member towns, including Auburn. It burns trash to make electricity instead of burying it in a landfill.
The plant is open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to noon. It's closed Sundays and on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Every load crosses the scales, and loads that could blow or spill must be covered.
The City also sends residents there for household bulky waste, with fees set by the plant. For a remodel or a full cleanout, a roll-off saves you the trips. Your account manager can confirm where your load is going and walk you through the fees before delivery.
110 Goldthwaite Road, Auburn, ME 04210
Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday 7 a.m. to noon.
Most Auburn rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, and the container arrives within a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days ahead gives you time to clear the drop spot and plan around the weather.
A few tips for a smooth delivery:
The Goldthwaite Road plant closes at noon on Saturdays and stays closed on Sundays, so a container filled on the weekend is usually picked up the following week.
Client Reviews

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll suggest the right size, explain the local disposal fees, and give you a clear price on the call.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
An Auburn dumpster rental costs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. The weight of your debris and the waste plant's fees affect the final number. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage when you book.
A small load can go straight to the plant on Goldthwaite Road. For a bigger job, a dumpster usually costs less once you add up disposal fees, fuel, and the hours spent loading a truck. One roll-off handles the whole project at once.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a mattress, a dresser, and bags of junk. Furniture is bulky but light, so the space fills up before you reach the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, asbestos, and fluorescent bulbs. The local waste plant also refuses explosives, ashes, and vehicles. Appliances, car batteries, TVs, mattresses, and tires carry extra fees or special handling, so mention them to your account manager.
The 10-yard dumpster has our lowest price, at $399 to $499. Your total still depends on weight. Concrete, brick, or wet shingles can push a small container over its allowance, so a separate load for heavy debris can help keep costs down.
Three days costs the same as our standard five-day rental, because we price the job, not the day. Weight has a bigger effect on your price than the rental length. Ask your account manager how much weight is included and what extra tons cost.
Most home and construction debris is fine, including lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and brush. Concrete, brick, and stone are accepted too, though they're handled apart from burnable waste. If you're unsure about an item, your account manager can check before you load it.
