Taking down an old shed, a run of fence or a backyard play set in Tyngsborough? A container on the driveway lets you load it as it comes apart instead of piling it on the lawn.
The town straddles the Merrimack and the bridge is the pinch point, so we time deliveries around the commute. Waterfront drives can be narrow and sloped. Up Route 3 to the last exits before the border.
We are small on purpose. Running Tyngsborough out of the North Reading yard keeps the trips short, the windows tight, and the accountability obvious, because there is nobody else to blame if a container turns up late.
Sheds, fences and play sets in Tyngsborough
Most of what comes off a Tyngsborough shed, fence or play set job can go straight in the container: lumber, roofing, siding and metal. Concrete footings cannot, because concrete counts as masonry, so cut the posts off above the concrete and plan a separate haul for the footings. Brush and leaves cleared from around the site stay out of the box too. Massachusetts bans yard waste from disposal, so check with the town on where it should go.
Both banks of the Merrimack
Tyngsborough sits astride the Merrimack at the New Hampshire line, and the bridge across it is the town's single most important piece of road. Flint Pond and the river shape most of the good housing, and there is still real farmland on the western side. The town is small enough that the schools and the ponds are the center of the calendar.
- The Tyngsborough Bridge A 1931 steel arch over the Merrimack, the landmark everyone gives directions by.
- Flint Pond and Lake Mascuppic Summer.
Waterfront properties along the river and the pond often have narrow, sloping drives, which is where the smaller boxes earn their keep. The bridge backs up at commuter hours, so we schedule the far bank for the middle of the day.

Between two sizes? The item picker sizes a cleanout from what you are throwing away, and the weight, roofing, drywall and deck calculators do the same for tear-outs, in about a minute and for 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 Tyngsborough driveways manage that easily; the ones that do not are usually the short, steep or shared kind, and those are worth flagging.
Every size we rent is over 6 cubic yards, so the state fire code requires a fire department permit for any rental that stays overnight, even on a private driveway. In Tyngsborough, the Board of Health runs a dumpster permit but has not published its dumpster rules, so ask the Board of Health whether a short rental needs one. The town bylaws also require a container this size to sit at least 10 feet from any building. A street spot in Tyngsborough needs permission from the Engineering Department, through a right-of-way obstruction permit. Getting any permit is the customer's responsibility. See Tyngsborough in our dumpster permit guide for the source and the neighboring towns.
What goes in the box
Almost everything from a normal cleanout or renovation: furniture, general junk, wood, drywall, roofing, metal and carpet. What cannot go in is mostly what Massachusetts bans from disposal, including mattresses, clothing and other textiles, tires, electronics, yard waste and anything masonry. Run your list through the item picker and it will tell you which is which while it sizes the job.
One thing no fee can fix is asbestos: no Massachusetts facility will accept it. Have old siding, roof shingles, floor tile, pipe insulation or plaster tested before it comes off, whatever the age of the building. What we cannot take ›
