At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Beverly, Massachusetts, and the neighboring Essex County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. A city of nineteenth-century two-families, shingled capes and converted mill buildings keeps containers in steady work: kitchens and baths brought up to date, attics and basements emptied, slate and asphalt roofs replaced, and construction and fit-out projects through the North Beverly business areas and along the waterfront.
Your price turns on the container size, the weight of the debris, the length of the rental and the charge at the facility that receives the load. Beverly adds something very few cities do: it regulates project containers directly, through its Board of Health. That, and the Massachusetts material rules, are covered below.

| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |

Size comes first, and in Beverly the placement rules often decide it. A project container has to sit at least ten feet back from the lot line and off every public way and sidewalk, which on an older North Shore lot can leave a narrow strip of lawful ground.
Weight is the next lever. Slate, brick, plaster and old plumbing all run heavy, and in Massachusetts masonry and metals have to be kept out of ordinary disposal anyway, so separating them is both cheaper and required.
Where the load goes matters more here than in most states. Massachusetts has no demolition landfill at all, so a mixed construction load is processed and sorted at a licensed handling facility rather than buried, and the processing charge reflects what is in it.
Rental length is the fourth factor and it has a hard edge in this city. A construction container at a residential address may not stay in use beyond thirty days without written approval from the Board of Health, so a long renovation needs that approval planned in rather than requested late.

Pick by volume, then measure the ground you are allowed to use. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the choice for a tight city lot and for dense material. Brick, plaster, mortar, tile and concrete all reach their weight allowance while there is still room above the walls.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the usual Beverly job: one kitchen or bath stripped back, a basement cleared after water, a garage emptied, or a porch roof taken off.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common pick for a renovation across several rooms or a full cleanout of a two-family before a sale, and it still fits a typical driveway with room to walk past.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is sized for additions, new construction and demolition that produces framing, drywall, cabinets, siding and roofing at the same time.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, aimed at commercial fit-outs and industrial work where there is room on site and the limiting factor is volume rather than weight.
Describe the project and the lot to your account manager together. In Beverly the setback is as likely to decide the answer as the job is.
Yes, and in Beverly the permit side is unusually specific. On private property, a construction container needs a Board of Health permit for each container, and the person who holds it is the property owner, tenant, occupant or their agent rather than the supplier. Applications are filed at the Board of Health office with the owner's address and phone, the address being serviced, and the name and phone of the site contact. Every one of these permits expires on December 31 and is renewed annually, so a container crossing the new year needs the next year's permit.
There is a carve-out worth asking about. The ordinance states that the per-container permit does not apply to a homeowner using a container inside the thirty-day residential window, so a short owner-occupied job may not need one at all. The Board of Health is the office to confirm that with.
The street is simply not available for this kind of container. Beverly requires that a container kept for anything other than domestic household waste, and the ordinance names construction debris such as brick, earth, plaster, lathing, roofing materials, siding, lumber and plumbing fixtures, be kept off all public ways including City sidewalks. The city does issue a sidewalk object permit through its Planning Department, but it is open only to a business operating at the adjacent property and only for that business's own purposes, so it is not a route for a renovation container.
Call the Beverly Health Department at 978-921-8591 for either permit question. The Health Department sits with the rest of City Hall at 191 Cabot Street. Your account manager will tell you which permit your project needs and help you reach the right person before a delivery date is set.
Most construction and household debris is fine. The limits here come from the Massachusetts waste bans, which are stricter than most states and bind the hauler as well as the customer.
Asphalt pavement, brick and concrete, clean gypsum wallboard, and ferrous and non-ferrous metals are banned from disposal and from transfer for disposal, so they have to be separated for recycling rather than mixed into a load headed for burial. Treated and untreated wood and whole tires are banned from landfills only, which is a narrower rule: wood can still go to a combustion facility, and shredded tires are acceptable. The state works to a threshold of twenty percent by volume on construction material in a load, so a small amount of banned material can put the whole container in the wrong category.
Mattresses and textiles also have to stay out of the trash under state rules and be recycled or donated instead. Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil and asbestos cannot go in a standard container, and the City's own curbside exclusions name tires, fluorescent bulbs, televisions, computers, propane tanks, oil paints and rechargeable batteries.
The practical answer is to sort as you load. Ask your account manager which materials are worth their own container on your job.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Beverly is direct about construction debris: the City cannot pick it up. Its own guidance says the contract with its household hauler defines unacceptable refuse as waste from construction, remodeling, demolition and repair, which leaves Beverly households, and by extension their contractors, responsible for disposal of everything they generate. The same guidance lists what it means by that category, from asphalt, brick and concrete through drywall, insulation, roofing shingles, plate glass, metal and wood waste. Cleanouts are excluded too.
Because Massachusetts has no active demolition landfill, a mixed load from Beverly travels to a licensed construction and demolition handling facility where it is processed and sorted. Every one of those facilities in the state is company-run, so we identify the destination to you rather than advertise it, and your account manager confirms it before the container is collected.
Two municipal sites are worth knowing about, and both have limits. The Standley Street Yard Waste Compost Site at 16 Standley Street takes yard waste, brush and branches up to two inches across, Monday, Thursday and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in season, and it is open to Beverly residents on proof of residency only, with no plastic bags of any kind. It cannot take a contractor's load, and the ordinance makes leaving material outside its gates an offence. The Beverly Health Department at 191 Cabot Street, on 978-921-8591, is the office behind every container permit in the city and the place to ask about hazardous material.
16 Standley Street, Beverly, MA 01915
Open Monday, Thursday and Saturday 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in season; Beverly residents only, yard waste and brush up to two inches.
191 Cabot Street, Beverly, MA 01915
Issues the annual dumpster permits for both the supplier and the property owner; every permit expires on December 31.
Most Beverly rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Where a Board of Health permit has to be filed first, the counter sets the pace, so build a few days in.
Five things that make a Beverly delivery go cleanly:
Keep the Standley Street calendar in mind for separated yard material. That site runs three days a week and closes for the season around the end of December, with winter hours posted later.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves the whole City of Beverly, from the downtown and Cabot Street blocks out to Ryal Side, Montserrat, Prides Crossing and Beverly Farms, and we run the same routes through the neighboring North Shore communities in Essex County. One bathroom or a full commercial strip-out, we schedule delivery, swaps and disposal around your trades.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the ground you can legally use, point you at the right permit, and quote the job 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.
A 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899 on a five-day rental in Beverly. Material weight and the handling facility's processing charge decide where you land, and a Board of Health permit is separate. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rate first.
In Beverly it is not a close call, because the City will not take construction debris at the curb and the nearest handling facilities charge by the load. Self-hauling means repeated trips and repeated charges. One container clears the job in a single haul with disposal priced in.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a bed frame, a dresser and boxes. Bulky furniture fills the volume well before the weight limit. Note that mattresses have to be handled separately under state rules.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil and asbestos are out. Massachusetts also bars asphalt, brick, concrete, clean gypsum wallboard and metals from disposal, keeps wood and whole tires out of landfills, and requires mattresses and textiles to be recycled. Flag electronics and propane tanks when booking.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499, and on a narrow city lot it is often the only size that clears the ten-foot setback. It is not always the cheapest result, though: filled with brick or plaster it reaches the weight allowance early. Separating hard material usually saves money.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the price covers the job and the disposal rather than the days. Weight matters far more than the calendar. Ask your account manager what tonnage the quote includes, what an extra ton costs, and what happens if the work runs long.
Most building and household debris: lumber, drywall, plaster, lathing, roofing, flooring, siding, cabinets, doors, furniture, carpet and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick, asphalt and metal are accepted too, but in Massachusetts they must be kept separate for recycling. Check anything unusual with your account manager before loading.
