If you are clearing out a house in Billerica, stripping a bathroom, or finally dealing with the garage, you need a container on the driveway and a firm date for it to leave again. That is the whole job we do.
A straight run up Route 129 from Wilmington. Billerica is big by area with mostly post-war and newer housing, so driveways tend to be wide and the delivery is usually the simple kind.
Booking online takes about a minute and settles everything up front: size, date, delivery window and the exact price, with the full fee schedule visible before you pay rather than discovered afterwards.
Home cleanouts and decluttering in Billerica
Cleanouts are the most common reason people in Billerica call us, and they are also the job most likely to be underestimated. A single garage rarely fills a container on volume — but add the basement, the shed and thirty years of furniture and it adds up faster than anyone expects. If you are clearing a whole property, start at the 15-yard.
Yankee Doodle weekend
Billerica's claim on American history is a man named Thomas Ditson, a local patriot who, the story goes, inspired the song Yankee Doodle. The town celebrates him on the third weekend of September with Yankee Doodle Homecoming: a parade from the Shops at Billerica to Town Hall at 10:30 on Saturday morning, a Colonial Minutemen reenactment, vendors and food through the afternoon, and fireworks at Marshall Middle School that night.
- Yankee Doodle Homecoming Third weekend of September. Parade, reenactment, fair and fireworks. Run by a volunteer nonprofit for more than 30 years.
The parade closes the roads through Billerica center on Saturday morning. Billerica is big by area and the housing is mostly post-war with wide driveways, so away from the center that weekend it is an easy delivery.

The most common mistake on a Billerica job is ordering one size too small. Not sure? The item picker and the weight, roofing, drywall and deck calculators work it out in a minute, free.
Placement and permits in Billerica
Most of our dumpsters go on driveways, because the box sits where you are working and nobody has to move a car all week. In Billerica, a driveway dumpster needs only the fire department's permit, which the state fire code requires for anything over 6 cubic yards that stays overnight; the town adds none of its own that we found. Billerica's bylaws bar storing trash or building materials on a public street or private road, and the Select Board licenses a temporary sidewalk obstruction during building work. Getting any permit is the customer's responsibility. See Billerica in our dumpster permit guide for the source and the neighboring towns.
The truck needs clear sky above the spot as well as clear ground, because the hoist raises the box before setting it down. That is the detail people miss when they measure only the driveway.
What can go in
Household junk, furniture, wood, drywall, roofing and metal are all fine. Hazardous material, tires, electronics, appliances containing refrigerants, mattresses, clothing and other textiles, masonry and yard waste are not. The full lists are on the FAQ page, and they are worth two minutes before you load: a prohibited item carries a $200 removal fee plus whatever the disposal facility charges us.
Asbestos can't go in the dumpster at any price. If you're removing old siding, roofing, floor tile, pipe insulation or plaster, have anything suspect tested first; newer buildings are not automatically clear. What we cannot take ›
Billerica questions
How much does a dumpster cost in Billerica?
The same as everywhere else we serve. Prices start at $475 and include delivery, pickup and disposal; the only other charge is the $19 booking fee, shown before you pay. There is no haul charge and no percentage added at the end.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Billerica?
On your own driveway, the only paperwork is the fire department's dumpster permit: the state fire code requires one for any dumpster over 6 cubic yards that stays overnight, and every size we rent is 10 yards or more. Billerica adds no permit of its own that we could find. Billerica's bylaws bar storing trash or building materials on a public street or private road, and the Select Board licenses a temporary sidewalk obstruction during building work. Getting any permit is the customer's responsibility.
What size do most Billerica jobs need?
The 15-yard is our most popular size and handles most renovations and multi-room cleanouts. Roofs are the exception: shingles come off at about 300 pounds a square, so most full roofs go past the included weight, and the roofing calculator shows the overage before you book. If you are between two sizes take the larger one: going one ton over costs $250, while stepping up a size costs a fraction of that.
