At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Malden, Massachusetts, and the inner north suburbs of Boston in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Malden is tightly built, heavy on two-family and three-family houses and small commercial frontages, and most of the construction work here happens inside an existing footprint: unit rehabs around Maplewood and Edgeworth, re-roofs across Linden and the West End, and fit-outs along Pleasant Street and Main Street.
Your figure comes from the container size, the material, the length of the rental and what the receiving facility charges by weight. Malden also has the strictest container placement rule in this part of the state, and it decides where your container can sit, so the permit section below is worth reading before you plan anything.

Malden's rules push the cost conversation toward placement and timing rather than toward the container itself.
Start with who has to arrange the service. The City collects from residential buildings of six units or fewer. Anything larger, and any commercial property, has to arrange its own private pickup, and the City requires that to happen at least once a week through a licensed collector. On a three-family rehab that is usually straightforward; on a seven-unit building it is a different conversation, and your account manager will sort out which side of the line your address falls on.
Then the container permit. Where a commercial property uses a dumpster, the City requires the property owner to hold a Board of Health permit for it, applied for with a $25.00 fee and a site plan showing the proposed location, the distance to the closest abutter and the type of enclosure or screen. Those permits renew each year on December 31, and the Director of Public Health can order a container enclosed, screened, removed, resized or serviced more often.
Weight does the rest. Malden is a brick and plaster city, and dense demolition material fills a container's weight allowance long before it fills the walls.

Fit matters more here than almost anywhere, because the container has to go on your property. Prime Dumpster runs five sizes across Malden.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one that fits a Malden driveway. It is also the right size for dense loads: chimney brick, old plaster and lath, a concrete walk or a single-layer roof tear-off.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers one unit stripped to the studs, a basement cleared properly, or a modest roof section, and it still leaves room to park behind it on most lots.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the practical upper limit on many residential addresses in town. A kitchen plus a bath, or flooring and trim from a whole floor of a two-family, fits comfortably.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works where there is a parking area or a commercial lot: a whole-building rehab, an addition or new residential construction, where volume rather than weight is the binding limit.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is for commercial interiors and structural demolition with real space to set it. There is nothing bigger, and on a typical Malden street it will not fit.
Not sure what your lot can take? Send your account manager a photo of the driveway and the approach and they will size it from that.
Start on private property, because in Malden that is where your container has to go.
The City's code is blunt about the public way: no dumpster may be placed on the public way, and the rule says so including for the purposes of pickup by the service provider. No permit route is attached to that sentence anywhere in the solid waste chapter. That is the strictest street rule we deal with in the Boston area, and it means the driveway, the parking area or the lot is the only placement. If your property genuinely has nowhere, the conversation to have is with the Director of Public Works and the Director of Public Health, because the code does let them approve alternate provisions for waste removal on a commercial property.
On a commercial property the container itself needs a Board of Health permit held by the property owner, with the site plan and abutter distance described above. On a residential building of six units or fewer served by City collection, a project container is a private arrangement, and your account manager will confirm with the Board of Health whether a permit is expected for your specific address before delivery.
There are hours attached as well, and they are real. No waste may be deposited in a dumpster between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. On weekdays collection runs from 7 in the morning until 8 at night, on Saturdays from 8 until 6, and never on a Sunday or a holiday. So a Sunday fill waits for Monday.
The City of Malden is at 215 Pleasant Street and the published number is 781-397-7000, which you can confirm on the City's own website. Your account manager finds the Board of Health desk and tells you what the application needs.
Massachusetts runs the strictest disposal bans in the region. Asphalt pavement, brick and concrete, clean gypsum wallboard, ferrous and non-ferrous metals and recyclable cardboard are banned from disposal with no exception for a particular facility type. Treated and untreated wood, wood waste and whole tires are banned from landfills, and shredded tires are acceptable.
Those bans do not keep the material out of your container. They mean it is sorted and processed instead of buried, and separating clean metal or clean wallboard usually costs less than burying it in a mixed load. The state puts the duty on both the business that generates the waste and the company that transports it, which is why your account manager asks what is going in.
Malden's own code names demolition debris directly, as material the City collector will not take: stones, plaster, brick, excavated earth, concrete, drywall, roofing materials, siding materials and structural members. All of that is exactly what a rented container is for.
The ordinary exclusions apply on top. No hazardous material, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, pesticides or pool chemicals. No liquids, pressurized cylinders, asbestos or sharps. Appliances and electronics need to be named at booking so each is routed properly. Ask your account manager about anything unusual before it is loaded.
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.
There is no active waste handling facility in Malden, and none in Everett, Medford, Somerville, Chelsea, Revere or Cambridge either. The state's own active facility records show the nearest listed sites in Boston and Lynn, and both are company operations rather than municipal ones. Across the whole state there are 16 large construction and demolition processors and every one of them is private.
So nothing in this part of Massachusetts is a public facility we could point you to, and we do not present a company-run processing plant here as though it were a city or state site.
What happens to your load is still predictable. It is weighed in at a processing facility, sorted against the state's banned-material list, and the processing cost comes back in the disposal portion of your invoice. A sorted container, or a container of a single clean material, usually prices better than a mixed one.
Your account manager confirms which processing facility your container is routed to, what it charges by the ton, and what the weight ticket will say, before the truck is dispatched.
Most Malden orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. The limiting factor here is rarely scheduling and almost always space, so the earlier we see the driveway the better.
Five habits that keep a Malden delivery on track:
That last point is the one that catches weekend projects. If you fill the container on a Sunday afternoon, the haul is a Monday job. Your account manager builds that into the schedule rather than leaving you to find out.

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.
In Malden a 10-yard container costs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard $699 to $899, over five days. Processing charges and the weight of your load then move the total. Your account manager agrees the Malden tonnage allowance and the overage rate as the order is placed.
For a Malden rehab, renting is clearly cheaper. With no handling facility anywhere in the inner north suburbs, self-hauling means repeated trips well out of town, a gate charge each time, and a sorting problem at every visit. One container is loaded once and processed once.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a mattress, a dresser and several cartons. On a narrow Malden driveway the 10-yard is often the only size that fits, and for furniture it is usually plenty.
No hazardous material, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, pesticides, pool chemicals, pressurized cylinders or asbestos. Massachusetts also bans brick, concrete, clean wallboard and metals from ordinary disposal, so those get sorted and processed rather than buried.
The 10-yard at $399 to $499 is the lowest entry figure and often the only size a Malden driveway will take. Whether it is cheapest overall depends on the load, because brick and plaster hit the weight ceiling quickly and a dedicated heavy container avoids overage on a mixed one.
Three days and five days usually cost the same here, because a Malden quote follows the project rather than the day count. In Malden it is weight and material mix that shift the invoice. Settle the included tonnage and the overage rate with your account manager and the number holds.
Framing scrap, roofing, flooring, plaster, lath, siding, cabinets, doors, windows, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout material are all fine in Malden. Brick, concrete, wallboard and metals are accepted too and are sorted for processing. Anything doubtful goes to your account manager before the Malden container is loaded.
