Questions
Before you rent
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Burlington?
Only if it goes on the street, sidewalk or a parking lane. Burlington's official fee: $20.00 per week or part (+$5.00 each additional week); metered space $15/day (12-hr) or $30/day (24-hr). A dumpster in your own driveway usually needs no city permit.
How much does a dumpster cost in Burlington?
It depends on size, rental length, how much the load weighs and where it sits. Local haulers set their own prices, so the fastest way to a real number is to request quotes for your ZIP code and dates.
What size dumpster do I need?
A 10-yard holds about 3 pickup loads (small bathroom, one-room cleanout). A 20-yard holds about 6–8 (kitchen remodel, garage cleanout) and is the most common choice. A 30- or 40-yard is for whole-home cleanouts, big remodels and demolition. Not sure? Pick "Not sure" on the form and haulers will help.
Is the quote really free?
Yes. You send one request, up to five local haulers contact you with prices, and you decide whether to hire anyone.
