Taking down an old shed, a run of fence or a backyard play set in Wayland? A container on the driveway lets you load it as it comes apart instead of piling it on the lawn.
Large lots, long drives and a lot of mature trees, so headroom is the usual question. East from Hudson through Sudbury on Route 20 or 27.
Every Wayland delivery runs out of our Hudson yard, and the person who takes the booking is the person driving the truck. There is no dispatch queue and no broker in the middle, which is why the delivery window we give you is one we can actually hold.
Sheds, fences and play sets in Wayland
Most of what comes off a Wayland 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.
Dudley Pond and the river meadows
Wayland sits between the Sudbury River meadows and Dudley Pond, and both shape where and how people live here. The town beach on the pond is the summer center of things. Russell's Garden Center on Route 20 has been in the same family since the 1870s and is a regional destination in its own right come spring and Christmas. The housing runs large and set back, with a cluster of smaller cottages around the pond that started as summer places.

- Russell's Garden Center seasons Spring and the holidays, Route 20.
- Wayland Farmers Market Summer and fall.
The old cottages around Dudley Pond have narrow drives that suit a 10 or 12 yard. Elsewhere the drives are long and tree lined, so tell us about low limbs and we will bring the box that fits under them.

The most common mistake on a Wayland 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.
Where the dumpster goes in Wayland
A driveway is usually the easiest answer: no parking dispute, and the box sits where you are actually working. In Wayland, 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. Wayland publishes no street rule for a dumpster that we found, so ask the Department of Public Works first. Getting any permit is the customer's responsibility. The dumpster permit guide lists this rule and its source next to every other town we serve.
Walk the spot once before delivery day. Low branches, overhead service drops, a soft shoulder and a car that has to get past all week are the four things worth putting in the placement notes, and all four are far easier to solve before the container is on the ground.
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.
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 ›
