On private property, a driveway or a job site, Lee requires no permit for a container, and the town's rules are notably practical about it. What Lee does have is a set of placement standards in its zoning bylaw, enforced by the Building Commissioner rather than by the Board of Health.
Those standards treat a receptacle of 10 cubic yards or more used for construction and demolition waste as a roll-off container, which means every size we carry. The container has to display the name and valid contact information of the owner, and it must sit where it creates no nuisance or health hazard.
The setback is the clause to plan around. Where and when the work site permits, a roll-off container has to sit at least 25 feet from any public way or lot line. On a tight village lot that can be the deciding factor in where the container goes, and the practicability wording is what makes it workable rather than prohibitive.
The duration rule is the good news. A container may be kept on a job site as long as it is in use. It has to be emptied once the average height of the contents reaches the edge of the container, and it has to be removed when the construction or demolition work stops. There is no day count and no renewal to chase, which is unusual in this part of Massachusetts.
Two further points fall on us rather than on you. The owner's details on the container are our responsibility, and an inactive container may only be stored at the owner's operations base, not left standing on a site. Your account manager handles both.
If any part of the container will sit in a town way, raise it early: your account manager will find the right town office and confirm what is needed before your delivery date.
