At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Everett, Massachusetts, and the inner suburbs north of Boston in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Everett packs about 50,000 people into barely three and a half square miles, most of it two-family and three-family houses built between the 1890s and the 1920s on tight lots off Broadway and Ferry Street. Along the Mystic River the old industrial waterfront has been rebuilt for new uses, so large construction sits a few streets from houses where the owners are replacing a roof or stripping a kitchen back to the studs.
What you pay turns on four things: the container size, how heavy the load is, how long it stays, and what the receiving facility charges to process it. Everett also has more written rules about containers than almost any city of its size, so this covers our ranges, those rules in plain words, what cannot go in a load, and where it ends up.

| 20-Yard Dumpster | $499–$649 | 22' L × 7.5' W × 4.5' H | Whole-home cleanouts, multi-room renovations, flooring removal, roofing |
| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |
| 40-Yard Dumpster | $699–$899 | 22–24' L × 8' W × 8' H | Commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts, large-scale construction |
Space decides the size here more often than volume does. Everett lots leave very little room, and the biggest container that fits the driveway is usually the right one, because a second emptying costs more than one size up.
Weight then does the rest. A 1910 three-family gives you lath and plaster, slate, brick chimney and granite steps, and all of it is dense enough to reach an included tonnage in a part-filled container. Taking the masonry separately is the usual answer.
What happens to the load is the third factor, and in Massachusetts it is unusual. A long list of material is banned from disposal statewide, which means a construction load is processed and sorted at a handling facility rather than simply buried. That processing is a real cost and it sits inside your disposal figure.
Permits are the fourth, and they are a genuine line item of time rather than money. Everett requires a permit for a container even on private property, and the section below sets out how that works.

Measure the space before you estimate the debris. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes across the inner north suburbs.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the practical choice on a tight Everett lot and the right one for plaster, brick, slate and granite. Dense material reaches the weight limit early anyway.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom stripped to the studs, a basement emptied over a weekend, or one roof slope.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual pick for a kitchen with flooring underneath it, or clearing a whole unit of a two-family.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles a full tear-off, an addition, or a gut renovation of a multi-family where framing and drywall come out together.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container and is intended for commercial and industrial work where there is room on site for it.
Tell your account manager how wide the driveway is and whether there are overhead wires. In Everett that answer often decides the size before the debris does.
This is the section to read twice, because Everett is stricter than its size suggests and the rules reach your own driveway.
On private property, a container still needs a permit. The city requires the owner of the land to hold a plot plan showing the container's location and a permit from the Board of Health for each container in use on the property, and those permits run to the end of the calendar year in which they are issued. For construction work the right instrument is the temporary permit, issued to the owner for a period not exceeding 30 days in connection with construction or demolition, renewable for another 30 days on application. Note who holds it: the permit is issued to the property owner, not to the container company.
A public way is barred outright. The city rule says plainly that no container may be placed or parked on a public way. There is a route back, but it is narrow: where the Board of Health believes a condition requires temporary placement on a public way, and the city services, police and fire departments all concur, a temporary permit may be issued. A container placed there has to be clearly illuminated at night by lights or reflective material, and the police chief may require more. The police chief may also remove a container that does not meet the rules, with removal and storage charged to the owner.
Several operating conditions come with any permit. The Board of Health and fire department approve the location, which must not interfere with the curb, the sidewalk or the abutters. Containers in residential areas have to be screened. None may be filled between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. on residential property, and on commercial property filling has to finish by 6 p.m. Collection may not start before 7 a.m. or continue past 6 p.m. All containers must be covered and secured except while being filled.
The Board of Health also runs the licensing side, which is where we come in: no contractor may supply a container service in the city without first obtaining a permit from the Board of Health, renewable each calendar year. The Health Department is at 484 Broadway, Room 20, on 617-394-2255, open Monday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Tuesday and Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The department's own page carries the current hours, and Inspectional Services in Room 26 answers on 617-394-2264. Your Prime Dumpster account manager walks you through which permit you need and who to speak to before anything is delivered.
Massachusetts has the longest disposal ban list in the country, and on a construction job it changes what goes in the container rather than just what goes in the trash.
MassDEP's own waste disposal bans list bars asphalt pavement, brick and concrete, clean gypsum wallboard, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, recyclable paper, cardboard and paperboard, glass, metal and plastic containers, leaves and yard waste, mattresses, textiles, white goods, lead acid batteries, cathode ray tubes and commercial food material from disposal or transfer for disposal. Two more are banned with an important qualifier: treated and untreated wood and wood waste are banned from landfills only, and whole tires are banned from landfills only, with shredded tires acceptable.
What that means in practice is that your load is sorted rather than buried, and that the cleaner it arrives the less it costs to process. MassDEP is explicit that the duty runs both ways: organizations that generate solid waste and those that transport it are both responsible for complying, and the department inspects at landfills and combustion facilities to catch haulers and generators who get it wrong.
Hazardous material stays out in every case: paint, solvents, thinners, fuels, motor oil, pesticides, asbestos, free liquids and pressurized cylinders. Everett housing from the 1890s and 1920s is old enough that asbestos shows up in pipe wrap and floor tile, so test before demolition.
Everett adds a covering rule that reaches the customer as well as the driver. It is unlawful to transport loose cargo by truck inside the city unless it is covered and secured, and the rule applies alike to the vehicle's owner, its operator and the person from whose property the cargo came. If you are making your own trips, cover the 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.
Everett has no landfill, and neither does any city next to it. MassDEP's register of active handling facilities, which covers transfer stations, construction and demolition processing and compost sites, lists nothing in Everett, Malden, Medford, Somerville, Chelsea, Revere or Cambridge. The nearest active sites are in Boston and Lynn, and each one is run by a private company, so your account manager confirms the receiving facility for your load rather than us naming one here.
Because of the state ban list, there is no demolition-class landfill operating anywhere in Massachusetts, so a mixed load from Everett is taken to a handling facility and sorted. Wood, metal, cardboard, wallboard, brick and concrete all have somewhere to go that is not a hole in the ground, which is why the makeup of your container matters to the price.
The city's own role is collection rather than disposal. Everett's Department of Public Works at 19 Norman Street handles the collection, transportation and disposal of household solid waste along with streets, parks and water, and answers on 617-394-2286 between 6:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on weekdays. It is a department yard, not a drop-off site, so it is not somewhere to take debris.
One more city rule touches the end of a job. On a construction or demolition site, the owner, agent or contractor may not allow litter to accumulate before, during or after the work, must have adequate containers on site, and may be required at any time to show proof of proper collection or of final disposal at an authorized facility. Keeping your paperwork is part of the job here, and your account manager can supply what you need.
Most Everett rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Because the Board of Health has to issue a permit first, and a public way needs three more departments to agree, start the paperwork before you fix a delivery date.
Things worth sorting out first:
Collection timing is set by the city rather than by us. Containers may not be emptied or removed before 7 a.m. or after 6 p.m., so a same-evening pickup after a late finish is not available anywhere in Everett.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Everett, from the three-family streets off Ferry Street and Main Street to Glendale and the rebuilt Mystic River waterfront along Lower Broadway, plus the inner suburbs around it. Wherever your project sits, we handle the permit question, the delivery, the collection and the disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the space and the debris, explain which city permit you need, 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.
Everett rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day rental. Plaster and masonry weight, and the processing a sorted load needs in Massachusetts, both feed the total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates at booking.
In Everett, usually by a wide margin. There is no facility in the city or in any adjoining city, so self-hauling means repeated trips into Boston or up to Lynn with a charge each time. One container settles the whole job in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a bed frame, a dresser and boxes. Bear in mind that mattresses and textiles are banned from disposal statewide and need their own route.
Paint, solvents, fuels, motor oil, pesticides, asbestos, liquids and pressurized cylinders all stay out. Massachusetts also bans mattresses, textiles, white goods, metals, cardboard, lead acid batteries and cathode ray tubes from disposal, so those are separated rather than buried.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499, and on a tight Everett lot it is often the only size that fits anyway. For plaster, brick and granite it is also the cheapest outcome, because dense material reaches the weight limit in any container.
Three days generally costs the same as five. Pricing follows the delivery, the haul and the processing rather than the calendar, and your city permit window is 30 days in any case. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and the per-ton rate.
Framing, drywall, plaster, lath, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, doors, carpet, furniture and household junk are all accepted, and most of it is then sorted for recovery. Wood is banned from landfills but not from processing. For anything else, ask your account manager.
