At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Lynn, Massachusetts, and the rest of the North Shore in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Triple-decker renovations, multifamily turnovers, roof and siding work on the city's older housing stock, and construction around the waterfront and the industrial blocks off the Lynnway all keep containers busy here.
Your price depends on the container size, the weight of what you load, how long you keep it, and the Massachusetts rules on what may actually be thrown away. That last one matters more here than almost anywhere else, and it is covered below along with price ranges and the city's permit contacts.

Four things drive the number you pay in Lynn.
Container size comes first. Stepping up one size costs less than booking a second haul, so size the job honestly.
Debris weight comes second. Old plaster, slate, brick, and the dense framing lumber in Lynn's older houses all add up fast, and a small container packed with any of it hits its weight limit while it still looks half empty.
Massachusetts processing rules come third, and they are the real local factor. The state bans five common construction materials from being thrown away at all, and it keeps wood out of landfills. So a mixed container has to go to a facility that pulls those materials out before anything is disposed of. That processing step is built into the price everywhere in the state.
Where the material ends up comes fourth. The transfer station on Commercial Street will not take construction debris or serve building contractors, so your load leaves the city for a permitted processing facility. Your account manager will confirm the route before anything is delivered.

Pick for volume first, then sanity check the weight. Prime Dumpster offers five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest and the right one for heavy material. Use it for a bathroom gut, a chimney or small slab removal, or a load of brick and concrete.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a basement or attic cleanout, a porch teardown, or a small roof tear-off.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common pick for a triple-decker unit turnover or a remodel touching several rooms. It takes plaster, lath, cabinets, and carpet well.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is sized for a gut renovation, a multi-unit turnover, or a commercial space being stripped out.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and belongs on big demolition and industrial cleanouts that make a high volume of light, bulky debris.
Tight streets and short driveways are common in Lynn, so describe the access when you call and your account manager will match the container and the truck to it.
A container on private property, such as your own driveway or a fenced job site, is the straightforward option in Lynn and the one we aim for. If your spot is private and the truck can reach it, the paperwork stays simple.
Street placement needs a conversation with the city first. Massachusetts law is clear that a public way or sidewalk may not be dug up or obstructed without the agreement of the officer responsible for maintaining it, and in Lynn that is the Department of Public Works. Call the DPW at 781-268-8000 before you plan a container in the road, a parking lane, or across a sidewalk.
Lynn is unusual in one respect worth being straight about. The city does not publish its full code of ordinances online. Its clerk's office holds the official version and the city says so on its own ordinance page, with only a handful of amendments posted. So rather than quote a rule that may have changed, we make the call for you. Your account manager will contact the DPW and the city clerk's office, confirm exactly what your placement needs, and come back to you before your delivery date.
For general city questions, City Hall at 3 City Hall Square can be reached at 781-598-4000, and it keeps extended hours on Tuesday evenings, which is useful if you work days.
This section matters more in Massachusetts than in most states, because the limits come from a statewide ban list rather than from one landfill's preferences.
Massachusetts bans a long list of materials from disposal. For a construction job the important ones are asphalt pavement, brick and concrete, clean gypsum wallboard, and ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Treated and untreated wood belongs on the list too, though its ban covers landfills only. None of it can simply be buried. The rest has to be separated and recycled, while wood can be sent to a combustion facility.
The list also covers mattresses and textiles, both added in late 2022, plus cathode ray tubes, lead acid batteries, leaves and yard waste, white goods, recyclable paper and cardboard, and glass, metal and plastic containers. Whole tires are on it as well, but barred from landfills only, and shredded tires are accepted.
Here is the part people miss. The state puts the duty on the customer as well as the hauler. Both the business that generates the waste and the company that transports it are responsible for complying with the bans. That is why we ask what is going in the container before we quote.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, and fuel are out of a standard container everywhere. Lynn runs a household hazardous waste day for residents with charges by volume, starting at $43 for up to three gallons, and it will not take construction debris or commercial waste. Mattresses are recycled at the city yard for $35 each.
If one item has you guessing, ask your account manager before it goes in. Getting it right up front is cheaper than having a load rejected.
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.
Lynn does not have a facility that will take your construction debris, and the city says so plainly.
The transfer station on Commercial Street no longer accepts wood or construction debris, and its own drop-off notice rules out building contractors and construction waste along with paint and hazardous material. So a container of demolition debris leaves Lynn.
The Lynn Department of Public Works drop-off at 250 Commercial Street is for household items from Lynn residents only, with a driver's license required at the gate. It is open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and it handles televisions, computer monitors, propane tanks, fluorescent bulbs, and mattresses for a per item charge. It is not a route for construction or demolition debris.
Your load instead goes to a Massachusetts-permitted construction and demolition processing facility, where the banned materials are pulled out and recycled before anything is disposed of. Clean wood can go to a municipal waste combustion facility instead. None of these sites publishes a gate price, which is one reason the quote comes from us rather than from a posted rate.
Your account manager will confirm which permitted facility is taking your debris and what the disposal charge will be before delivery day.
250 Commercial Street, Lynn, MA
Open Monday through Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Friday until 11:30 a.m., for Lynn residents and household items only.
Most Lynn rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Give us a little more lead time if the container has to go in the street, because that needs the city's agreement first.
Five things that keep a delivery smooth:
Keep the city's own hours in mind as well. The DPW yard closes at 11:30 a.m. on Fridays and is shut at weekends, so anything that needs a city conversation is best started early in the week.

Prime Dumpster serves all of Lynn, from the downtown blocks and the Brickyard to East Lynn, Diamond District, Wyoma Square, Highlands, and the industrial stretch along the Lynnway. We also cover the nearby North Shore communities of Swampscott, Nahant, Saugus, Lynnfield, and Marblehead, so a contractor working across several addresses keeps one point of contact.

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 Lynn dumpster rental runs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. Massachusetts requires construction materials to be processed rather than buried, which affects disposal cost. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
Renting wins here, because there is no local option. The transfer station in Lynn will not take construction debris and the city yard serves residents with household items only. A container handles the material and the state's processing requirements in one step.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. Note that mattresses are banned from disposal in Massachusetts and must be recycled, so mention them when you book.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, and fuel. Massachusetts also bans asphalt, brick, concrete, metal, clean gypsum wallboard, mattresses, textiles, and electronics from disposal, and it bans wood and tires from landfills. Each of those needs separating and recycling rather than burying.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. Weight sets your real cost, though. Old plaster, slate, and brick get heavy quickly, so a dedicated load of dense material is usually cheaper than mixing it in with light debris.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because containers are priced by the job rather than by the day. What you load matters far more than the calendar. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before delivery.
Mixed renovation debris is fine as long as it goes to a facility that can process it, which is how we route Lynn loads. Wood, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture, and general cleanout junk are all handled that way. Check unusual items with your account manager first.
