At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Framingham, Massachusetts, and the MetroWest towns around it in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Framingham is a city of older housing stock and busy commercial corridors, which is why the containers end up on the same streets again and again: triple-decker and two-family renovations around Framingham Centre, roof and siding work on the capes off Concord Street, new construction and lab and office fit-outs along Route 9, and move-out cleanouts near the commuter rail.
Two things shape a Framingham quote more than the container itself. The state bans a long list of materials from disposal, which means loads get sorted rather than buried, and the City's own Board of Health has written rules about where a container may sit and how it must be covered. Below are the price ranges, both of those rules in plain words, and how fast delivery can be arranged.

Massachusetts prices disposal differently from most states, and that is where a Framingham quote starts.
Because the state bans asphalt, brick, concrete, clean gypsum wallboard, metals, cardboard, and several other materials from disposal and from transfer for disposal, a renovation load from Framingham is taken to a processing facility and sorted rather than simply tipped. Sorting costs money, and a mixed load costs more to sort than a clean one. That is the single biggest saving available to you here, and it is entirely in your control.
Weight is the next lever. Plaster, lath, slate, and old brick are heavy for their volume, so an older Framingham house gives up more tonnage per cubic yard than a newer one. Dense material belongs in a small container.
Volume runs the bulky jobs. Framing offcuts, drywall, cabinets, insulation, and packaging fill space rather than weight, and that is where the 20 and 30 yard sizes pay for themselves.
The last piece is placement, which in Framingham is a real cost rather than an afterthought. A container in the street needs a City permit, and even on private ground the Board of Health has something to say about how close to the street it may sit. We cover both in the next section.

Size by volume, test against weight, then check the spot. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes across MetroWest.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the dense-material choice and also the easiest to place on a tight Framingham lot. Brick, plaster, slate, and concrete belong in it, because weight ends the job long before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage clear-down, a single bathroom gut, or a small tear-off, and it still fits most driveways without spilling into the sidewalk.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size Framingham customers order most. A two-family cleanout, a kitchen replacement, or pulling flooring across several rooms all fit in one container.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is sized for gut renovations and additions, where lath, plaster, and framing come out of an older house together and build volume fast.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest, built for commercial interior demolition and fit-out work along the Route 9 and Route 30 corridors, where volume rather than tonnage is the constraint.
Describe the house or the unit to your account manager, including the age of it, and they will size the container with you.
Start with private property, because Framingham is not a city where the answer there is simply no. A container on your driveway or parking lot needs no City street permit, but the Board of Health's own container rules still apply, and one of them is a setback.
Those Board of Health rules say a container may not be placed within 25 feet of any public way unless written permission is obtained from the Board of Health or its agent. On many Framingham lots the whole front yard is less than 25 feet deep, so written permission is the normal route rather than the exception. The same rules require the container to be metal or other durable material, leakproof and verminproof, fitted with a suitable tight-fitting cover, kept covered at all times, and emptied and cleaned often enough to avoid odors. Responsibility for all of that sits with the property owner or the owner's agent, which means you, so it is worth getting right.
If any part of the container will occupy the street, sidewalk, curb, driveway apron, or grass berm, the City requires a Street/Sidewalk Obstruction Permit, and its own permit page names temporary dumpsters related to construction as a typical activity. The fee is $50, processing takes three to five business days, and the application goes in before you obstruct City property. Insurance requirements apply to a contractor working with the City for the first time.
Two numbers to keep handy. The Engineering and Transportation Division handles the obstruction permit on 508-532-6010. Every applicant also has to notify the Framingham Police Department of a street or sidewalk obstruction, whether or not a detail is required, and the police detail line is 508-532-5907. For the Board of Health side, the Public Health Department is at 150 Concord Street on 508-532-5470.
Your account manager will tell you which of those calls your job actually needs and find the right contact for you.
Massachusetts has the longest list of banned materials of any state we work in, and it is the reason loads are sorted here rather than buried.
The state bans these from disposal or from transfer for disposal at any solid waste facility: asphalt pavement, brick and concrete; clean gypsum wallboard; ferrous and non-ferrous metals; glass and metal containers; recyclable paper, cardboard, and paperboard; single-resin narrow-necked plastic containers; cathode ray tubes; lead acid batteries; white goods; mattresses; textiles; commercial food material; and leaves and yard waste.
Two items on that list carry an important qualifier, and getting it wrong leads people astray. Treated and untreated wood and wood waste are banned from landfills only. Whole tires are banned from landfills only, and shredded tires are acceptable. Neither is banned outright, which is why wood from a Framingham renovation can still ride in a container bound for a processing facility.
The ban binds the hauler as well as the person who generated the waste, so we sort a load before it travels rather than after.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of every container. Home sharps are barred from household trash and recycling by state law and go to the City's drop-off facility or the Police Department instead. Ask your account manager about anything borderline before it goes in.
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.
Framingham's own curbside service does not take construction debris, and the City says so plainly: its banned materials page tells residents that construction, demolition, and renovation waste, including anything permanently affixed to the house such as wall-to-wall carpeting and fixtures, should go to a private hauler or a commercial transfer station.
That is exactly what happens to a container load. There is no active demolition-class landfill anywhere in Massachusetts, and Middlesex County has no active landfill at all, so a Framingham load goes to a privately run construction and demolition processing facility where it is separated into wood, metal, masonry, cardboard, and residual fractions. Sorting is the service you are paying for, which is why a clean load costs less than a contaminated one.
For household quantities and for the items a container cannot take, the City runs the Framingham Recycling Drop-Off Center at 255 Mount Wayte Avenue, Framingham, MA 01702. It takes excess trash, recycling, and household hazardous waste, and it is open Thursday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. for recycling only, Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Access needs a current permit sticker, it is open to permitted residents and businesses only, it accepts cash or check only, and the vehicle has to be non-commercial. The Department of Public Works, on 508-532-5600, issues the stickers and also schedules bulky item disposal.
Your account manager confirms which processing facility your container is going to and what the sorted material will be charged at before the container is delivered.
255 Mount Wayte Avenue, Framingham, MA 01702
Open Thursday to Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Permit sticker required, open to residents and permitted businesses only.
Most Framingham rentals are scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Here it is worth booking earlier than that, because a street permit takes three to five business days on its own.
Five things that make a Framingham delivery go smoothly:
One MetroWest note. Because the sorting facilities keep weekday hours, a container filled late on a Friday is usually hauled on Monday, so plan a weekend demolition with that in mind.

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 in Framingham runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899 on a five-day rental. Massachusetts sorting costs mean the mix of material matters as much as the size. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage, the overage rate, and any street permit cost before you commit.
In Framingham the container is almost always cheaper. The City's drop-off facility needs a permit sticker, takes cash or check only, and requires a non-commercial vehicle, so a renovation cannot go through it. A container holds the whole job and leaves in one haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves space for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than dense, so a Framingham apartment cleanout fills the space well before it reaches the weight allowance.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos all stay out, and home sharps are barred from trash by state law. Massachusetts also bans metals, cardboard, gypsum wallboard, mattresses, and textiles from disposal, so those are separated rather than loaded loose.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499, and on a narrow Framingham lot it is often the only size that fits the driveway anyway. Watch the weight: plaster, lath, and old brick from a century-old house will finish a small container's tonnage quickly.
Three days usually costs the same as five, because a container is priced for the job rather than by the day. The weight and the mix of your debris move the bill much more than the calendar does. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what an extra ton costs before delivery.
Wood, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general cleanout material are all fine in a Framingham container, because they are sorted at the processing facility rather than landfilled. Clean masonry and metals are accepted as well, and they cost less when they travel in their own load.
