At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Haverhill, Massachusetts, and the surrounding Essex County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Mill-building conversions along the Merrimack, new construction in the Ward Hill and Broadway corridors, and a long run of roof and siding work on the city's triple-deckers all put containers in driveways here year round.
Four things set your cost: the container size, the weight of the material, how long it stays, and what the receiving processor charges. Below you will find our ranges, Haverhill's Board of Health rules, which are stricter about placement than most of the state, the Massachusetts disposal bans that shape how a load should be sorted, and our delivery timing.

Massachusetts prices a container differently from most states, and it is worth knowing why.
Size is the first factor, and in Haverhill the spot often decides it. The Board of Health requires a container to sit at least ten feet back from the lot lines on a smooth, non-porous surface, so on a narrow city lot a 10 or 15 yard container may be the only one that complies.
Sorting is the second, and it is the big one here. Massachusetts bans a long list of materials from disposal, including asphalt, brick, concrete and clean gypsum wallboard, and the ban reaches the hauler as well as the person who generated the waste. Those materials still go in a container, but they have to be separated for recycling rather than buried. A clean, sorted load is genuinely cheaper than a mixed one in this state.
Weight is the third. Slate, plaster, brick and old framing lumber are all dense, and the processors charge by the ton.
Permits are the fourth. Supplying a container in Haverhill requires two Board of Health permits, both renewed each calendar year, and there is a separate temporary permit that belongs to you. Your account manager will confirm the tonnage included and the current processing charge before scheduling.

Size by volume, then check the weight, then check the setback. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes in Essex County.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one for dense material and tight lots. Brick, plaster, slate and concrete reach the weight ceiling early, and the ten-foot setback is easiest to satisfy with the shortest container.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a basement or attic cleanout, a bathroom gut, or a single roof slope. It is a practical size for a triple-decker driveway.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most common choice in Haverhill. A full house cleanout, a kitchen and bath together, or flooring from several rooms all fit.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits mill-building work, large additions and new construction, where debris is bulky rather than dense. Framing, sheathing and partition material stack well.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and takes structural demolition and commercial clearances. It needs a wide, firm surface and room to swing the truck.
If the setback or the surface is your constraint, send your account manager a photo of the spot and they will tell you what complies.
This is where Haverhill differs from most of Massachusetts, so read it before you choose a spot on your own private property.
On private property there is still an approval step. The Board of Health requires that a container be at least ten feet from the lot lines, that it not obstruct the view of traffic, that it sit on a smooth, non-porous surface, and that the location be approved by the Board of Health before placement. On a typical city lot the front yard is shallower than that setback, so the approval is the normal route rather than the exception.
There are then two kinds of paperwork. The supplier needs both a dumpster permit and a waste hauler's permit from the Board of Health before it may supply a container at all. Those are ours, they expire at the end of each calendar year, and the annual commercial dumpster permit fee is $25.00 under the Board's published dumpster regulation.
The second kind belongs to you. A temporary dumpster permit is issued to the property owner or an authorized agent, for a period not exceeding 30 days, in connection with construction, demolition or similar temporary needs, and the fee for a temporary residential dumpster is $15.00 under the same Board of Health regulation. If your project will run longer than 30 days, plan the renewal rather than discovering it late.
For a container in a public street, the City issues right-of-way permits through its Engineering Department for construction activities in the right-of-way.
The Public Health Department is at the Citizens Center, 10 Welcome Street, and the number is 978-374-2390. The City's call center is 311 inside the city or 978-358-1311 outside it. Your account manager will handle the supplier permits and will tell you exactly what the Board needs to approve your location.
Massachusetts handles this differently from most states, and the distinction matters.
The state bans a list of materials from disposal or transfer for disposal: asphalt pavement, brick and concrete; clean gypsum wallboard; cathode ray tubes; ferrous and non-ferrous metals; glass, metal and plastic containers; lead acid batteries; leaves and yard waste; mattresses; recyclable paper and cardboard; textiles; and white goods. Treated and untreated wood and whole tires are banned from landfills only. MassDEP publishes the current ban list and states that both the generator and the transporter are responsible for compliance.
So the question is not simply what may go in the container. Asphalt, brick, concrete and clean wallboard may travel in a container, but they must be routed to recycling rather than to disposal. That is why a sorted load costs less here and why your account manager will ask what the demolition will produce.
Hazardous material stays out entirely: paint, solvents, fuel, used motor oil, pesticides, pool chemicals and anything containing asbestos. Liquids are out too. The City's own rules also bar construction debris, commercial waste, rocks, soil, electronics and tires from any public container.
If you turn up old floor tile or pipe lagging in a mill building or an early house, stop and 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.
Haverhill is a sorting market rather than a burial market, and that shapes where your material ends up.
There is no active demolition landfill anywhere in Massachusetts, so a construction load from Haverhill is taken to a permitted processing facility and separated. Every large construction and demolition processor in the state is privately run, so we do not hold one out as a destination we vouch for. What your account manager will do is confirm which facility your load is going to and what it charges per ton before the container is delivered.
The City's own site is for residents and recyclables rather than for container loads, and it is worth knowing about for the items that have to come out of your project. The Haverhill Recycling Center is at 95 Downing Avenue, Haverhill, MA 01830, behind the Public Works garage at 500 Primrose Street. It is open Wednesday from 8 am to 3 pm and Saturday from 8 am to 1 pm, year round, and the Solid Waste and Recycling Department that runs it is on 978-420-3817. It takes mixed paper, metals, glass, plastics, fluorescent bulbs, textiles, plastic film, appliances and electronics, with used waste oil accepted on the last Saturday of each month up to five gallons.
Two limits to note. It is for Haverhill and Bradford residents only, with no commercial or construction loads, so nobody should plan a trip there with renovation debris. And the City publishes it with a fee and acceptance list that applies at the gatehouse, where cash is not accepted.
95 Downing Avenue, Haverhill, MA 01830
Run by the City's Solid Waste and Recycling Department; open Wednesday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for residents only.
Most Haverhill rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Where the Board of Health has to approve the location first, build in extra time.
Five things that make the difference:
The container also has to carry our name, phone and identification number, and your name as the user, and it has to be locked at the end of the business day with the lid closed when not in use. We fit all of that before it leaves the yard.

A 10-yard container in Haverhill runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, on a five-day rental. Weight and the processing charge per ton account for most of the difference, and a sorted load generally costs less than a mixed one in Massachusetts. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage.
A container is cheaper here, and often the only option. The City's recycling center is for residents and takes no construction material, so self-hauling means finding a commercial processor and paying at the entrance on every visit, in your own vehicle, on weekday hours.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a bed frame, a dresser and boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than dense, so on a furniture load the space gives out before the weight allowance does.
Paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, pesticides, pool chemicals, asbestos and liquids stay out entirely. Massachusetts also bans asphalt, brick, concrete, clean wallboard, metals, mattresses and textiles from disposal, so those must be separated for recycling rather than buried with the rest.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499, and on a narrow Haverhill lot it is often the size that meets the Board of Health setback most easily. Keep dense material in its own load, though: a 10-yard of brick or plaster can pass its weight allowance quickly.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because containers are priced by the job and the tonnage rather than by the day. The thing to plan around in Haverhill is the 30-day cap on your temporary permit, not the five-day pricing period. Ask your account manager about renewal if needed.
Lumber, plaster, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, windows, doors, cabinets, fixtures, furniture and general cleanout material are all accepted. Concrete, brick and asphalt are accepted too, but Massachusetts requires them to be recycled rather than disposed of, so keep them separate. Ask about unusual items first.
