FAQ
Dumpster Rental in Scarborough, answered.
- What size dumpster do I need for a typical home project in Scarborough?
- A 15-yard dumpster is generally sufficient for most small-to-medium home projects in Scarborough, such as a garage cleanout or a small bathroom remodel. This size is compact enough for most driveways while holding about six pickup truck loads of material. For larger projects like a kitchen renovation, significant yard debris removal, or clearing out a larger home, our 20-yard dumpster provides the extra capacity needed to handle all the debris in a single haul.
- Do I need a permit for a dumpster rental in Scarborough, Maine?
- You do not need a permit to place a dumpster on your own private property, such as your driveway, in Scarborough, Maine. However, a permit is required if the dumpster must be placed on a public street or right-of-way. It is the homeowner's or contractor's responsibility to secure this permit from the Town of Scarborough before the container is delivered. We can advise on the process, but the permit must be in your name.
- What items are forbidden to put in a rental dumpster?
- You cannot put hazardous materials in a rental dumpster, including paint, chemicals, asbestos, flammable liquids, and batteries. Additionally, items like tires, appliances with Freon (refrigerators, AC units), and electronics are generally prohibited or require special handling and extra fees. We follow all state and local regulations for waste disposal to ensure materials are handled safely and responsibly. When you book your dumpster, we will provide a clear list of non-allowable items for your reference.
- How do you protect my driveway when delivering a dumpster?
- We take care to protect your driveway by placing wood blocking under the dumpster's steel feet and contact points. This practice prevents the metal from scraping or scratching the asphalt or concrete surface during placement and pickup. Our drivers are experienced in making careful deliveries and will work with you to find the safest, most stable, and least intrusive placement location on your property. We always recommend a spot on the most level ground possible.
- Where is the best spot to place a dumpster on a Scarborough property?
- The best place for a dumpster on a Scarborough property is a flat, paved surface like a driveway, which provides the most stable and accessible spot for loading. We need a clear, unobstructed path for our delivery truck to back in, so it’s important to clear any vehicles, equipment, or overhanging branches. For properties with limited space or on sensitive ground, we can discuss alternative placements, but a solid driveway is always the preferred and safest option.
