Dumpster sizes in Portland

Weight allowance matters as much as container size. Plaster, tile, and wet debris use up the allowance long before the container looks full.
Disposal and permits in Portland
Where does the waste from Portland go?
Loads from Portland go to the nearest licensed transfer station or landfill in Cumberland County, and dump fees are charged by the ton. That is why the weight allowance matters more than the container size.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Portland?
On your own driveway you need nothing. In the public right-of-way, Portland requires a permit, usually a few days out. Most haulers will pull it for you if you ask.
What can't go in a dumpster?
No tires, batteries, paint, fuel, or appliances containing freon. Mattresses and box springs are accepted at most yards for a per-item fee. Concrete and dirt need their own dedicated container.
