At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Franklin, Massachusetts, and the surrounding Norfolk County towns in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older colonials getting new roofs, finished basements along the I-495 corridor, estate cleanouts and steady construction work around the commuter rail station all keep containers moving here.
Four things set your price: the size you pick, how heavy the debris is, how long the container stays, and what the receiving facility charges to take the load. The sections below cover those costs, the Board of Health rules that apply to a dumpster in Franklin, what the state bans from disposal, and how quickly we can get a container to your address.

Massachusetts makes the makeup of your load matter more than it does in most states, so it pays to think about what goes in the container before you order.
Start with size. A larger container costs more up front, and it still beats paying for a second haul because the first one filled early.
Then think about weight. Slate and asphalt shingles, plaster walls, brick and poured concrete all hit a weight allowance long before they fill the space. Furniture and cardboard do the reverse.
Sorting is the Massachusetts twist. The state keeps asphalt, brick, concrete, clean wallboard, metals and cardboard out of landfills and out of transfer for disposal, so a mixed load from Franklin gets processed and separated instead of buried. That processing step is part of what you pay for, and keeping heavy clean material in its own container is usually the cheaper route.
Town rules fill in the rest. Franklin does not pick up construction debris at the curb, cleanouts and move-outs are not residential trash here, and the Town can bill the full cost of removal to the owner if it has to clear one. Your account manager will price the load once you describe it.

Pick a size from two numbers: roughly how much volume the job will throw off, and how dense that material is. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits a bathroom gut, a single-room remodel, or a broken walkway. It is the right call for brick, concrete and tile, which reach the weight limit while the container still looks half empty.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage or attic cleanout, carpet and underlayment removal, or a small shingle tear-off on a Cape or ranch.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most Franklin households end up with. It handles a whole-house cleanout or a remodel that runs across several rooms without feeling tight.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for additions, full gut jobs and new builds, where mixed framing lumber, wallboard and packaging pile up fast.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest. It is built for commercial fit-outs, large demolition and property-wide cleanups that run for weeks.
Still deciding? Give your account manager the room count or the square footage and they will match a size to it.
A container on private property, in your own driveway or on a job site, is the simple case in Franklin. The Town publishes no street or right-of-way dumpster permit at all, and its street rules deal with excavation and trench work rather than containers.
What Franklin does have is a Board of Health rule written about dumpsters. Commercial and industrial containers need Board of Health approval for where they sit, how they are built, how they close and how they are screened, and an open-top container has to be fenced to three feet above the top unless it has an attached lid.
Here is the part worth knowing before you book. That rule carves out construction work directly: a container placed in Franklin for construction purposes for a period not longer than six months is outside it, as long as nothing spills onto the site around it. Most remodels, roofs and additions finish well inside that window.
For a container that will stay longer, or for any question about screening on a commercial lot, call the Franklin Health Department at 508-553-4808. The Town's Board of Health sits at 355 East Central Street. Your account manager can confirm which side of the six-month line your job falls on and make the call with you.
Most building and household debris is fine. The real limits come from the Massachusetts disposal bans, and they are stricter here than in most of the country.
Two materials are banned from landfills only. Treated and untreated wood may still go to a combustion facility, and whole tires are barred from landfills while shredded tires are accepted.
The rest of the list carries no such qualifier. Asphalt pavement, brick and concrete, clean gypsum wallboard, ferrous and non-ferrous metals and recyclable cardboard cannot be landfilled and cannot be sent on for disposal either, anywhere in the state. The duty reaches you as well as us: in Massachusetts, the business that generates the waste and the company that hauls it are both responsible for following the bans. State staff work to an action level of 20 percent by volume on construction materials, so a load that is mostly banned material gets turned around.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos never belong in a standard container. Asbestos needs its own abatement plan before demolition starts.
Mattresses, electronics, appliances and tires should be set aside and mentioned when you book. If you are not sure about an item, ask your account manager 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.
Franklin runs its own drop-off site, and it is worth knowing what it is and is not. The Franklin Recycling Drop Off Center at 455 Beaver Street is Town-owned and Town-run, and it shows up on the state's roster of active handling facilities as a small transfer station. It opens Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Tuesday from noon to 3 p.m. between April and November.
It is not a place to take a dumpster load. Use is limited to Town residents and businesses based in Franklin, every vehicle needs a current permit on it, materials have to arrive clean and separated, and trash is not accepted. The Town sells the permit for $50 a year at the public works office on Fisher Street, the collector's office on East Central Street and the site itself.
Your container goes somewhere else. Massachusetts has no active demolition landfill anywhere in the state, and the sixteen large construction and demolition processing facilities on the state roster are all privately owned, six of them in the central region closest to Franklin. So a Franklin load is taken to a processor and sorted, with wood, metal, cardboard, wallboard, brick and concrete each going their own way. Your account manager confirms the receiving facility and its charges before the truck leaves.
455 Beaver Street, Franklin, MA 02038
Town-run drop-off for permit holders only, open Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; no trash or construction debris.
Most Franklin orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Two or three days of notice gives us room to match the container to the load, which is where the savings are.
A few things make the drop go smoothly:
In winter, shovel and salt the drop spot first. A truck setting a loaded container on ice is a risk nobody needs.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves every part of Franklin, from the downtown blocks near the Dean College campus out to the Bellingham, Medway, Wrentham and Norfolk town lines, along with the surrounding Norfolk County communities. We plan delivery, pickup and processing around your build schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, confirm where the sorted material is headed, and quote the job while you are on the phone.
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 Franklin runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. What you load and where it has to be processed move the final number. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate before delivery.
A container is usually cheaper for anything bigger than a car load. Franklin's own drop-off site takes residents and Franklin businesses only, needs an annual permit on the vehicle, and will not take trash or construction debris, so hauling a remodel yourself means repeated trips to a private processor.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a mattress, a dresser and a stack of bags. Furniture runs out of space long before it gets anywhere near the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos. Massachusetts also bans metals, clean wallboard, asphalt, brick, concrete and cardboard from disposal, so those get sorted rather than buried. Tires, mattresses, electronics and appliances should be separated and mentioned when you book.
The 10-yard container starts at $399 to $499, the lowest price we offer. Weight still decides your bill. Plaster, brick and shingles can carry a small container past its allowance, so a heavy demolition job often costs less in a separate dedicated load.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because we price by the job rather than by the day. Tonnage affects the total far more than the calendar does. Ask your account manager how much weight is included and what each extra ton costs before the container arrives.
Framing lumber, wallboard, plaster, shingles, flooring, cabinets, doors, furniture and general cleanout material are all allowed. Clean concrete, brick and asphalt are accepted too, and they are cheapest when they travel alone. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
