If you are clearing out a house in Mendon, 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.
Rural, with long drives and farm properties, and two big destinations that put traffic on Route 16 at weekends. South on 495 past Milford.
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 Mendon
Cleanouts are the most common reason people in Mendon 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.
The zoo and the drive-in
Mendon is a small rural town with two attractions that draw from well beyond it. Southwick's Zoo is the largest zoo in New England and fills Route 16 on summer weekends, and the Mendon Twin Drive-In still runs two screens through the season, one of a handful left in the state. Away from those the town is farmland, woods and long private drives.
- Southwick's Zoo Spring through fall, Route 16.
- Mendon Twin Drive-In Season, Route 16.
- Lake Nipmuc town beach Summer.
Most jobs here mean a long drive in from the road, often unpaved. We put plywood down and, after a wet stretch, will suggest a spot nearer the road. Route 16 is slow on summer weekend afternoons, so we aim for mornings.

The most common mistake on a Mendon 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.
Access and permits
We need roughly the length of two parked cars plus room for the truck to back straight in, and clear space overhead for the hoist. Most Mendon driveways manage that easily; the ones that do not are usually the short, steep or shared kind, and those are worth flagging.
Mendon requires a Board of Health permit for every temporary dumpster, driveways included, on top of the fire department permit the state fire code requires. Mendon's rules also say the dumpster must sit on the property. Getting the Board of Health and fire permits is the customer's responsibility, so apply before delivery day. See Mendon in our dumpster permit guide for the source and the neighboring towns.
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 ›
Mendon questions
How much does a dumpster cost in Mendon?
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 Mendon?
On your own driveway you need the fire department's dumpster permit and a Board of Health permit. The state fire code requires the first for any dumpster over 6 cubic yards that stays overnight. In Mendon, the Board of Health requires a permit for every temporary dumpster, private property included. Mendon's rules also say the dumpster must sit on the property. Getting the Board of Health and fire permits is the customer's responsibility, so apply before delivery day.
Do you serve the whole of Mendon?
Yes, every part of it, from our Hudson yard. If your street is awkward for a truck the size of a moving van, describe it in the placement notes when you book and we will tell you before we load rather than after we arrive.
