Contractors working in Westford need a container that turns up when it was promised and leaves when it was supposed to. A missed delivery costs a crew a morning, and we know it.
A mix of old farm properties with long drives and newer subdivision off Littleton Road. Kimball Farm traffic on a summer weekend afternoon is worth planning around. Up Route 3 to 495, or across 225.
We are a family-owned container company run by Steve, a local firefighter raised in this area. You book online in about a minute, see the exact price before you pay, and deal with the person whose name is on the truck.
Contractor and trade work in Westford
We run a lot of repeat work for trades around Westford, and it comes down to the same two things every time: the container is there on delivery day, and the price does not change after the job. Book online and the delivery window is confirmed on the spot rather than pending a callback.
Apple blossoms and Kimball Farm
Westford marks the spring with the Apple Blossom parade and festival in May, which fills the common and the roads around it. Kimball Farm on Littleton Road is the summer institution, with ice cream, mini golf and a line out to the road most warm evenings. The town has grown a lot since the 1980s, so the housing runs from old farmhouses on the back roads to whole neighborhoods built in one go.
- Apple Blossom Festival and parade May, town common. Parade and festival, with road closures around the common.
- Kimball Farm Spring through fall, Littleton Road.
- Westford Farmers Market Summer and fall.
The newer neighborhoods are simple. The old farm properties on the back roads mean long drives, soft edges in spring and the odd low branch. Littleton Road backs up badly on summer weekend afternoons, so we schedule that stretch for mornings.

The most common mistake on a Westford 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 Westford
Most of our dumpsters go on driveways, because the box sits where you are working and nobody has to move a car all week. For a driveway spot in Westford, you need just one thing: the fire department's dumpster permit. The state fire code requires it for every rental that stays overnight, since all our sizes are over 6 cubic yards, and we found no town permit on top. A street spot in Westford needs permission from the Select Board, in writing. 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.
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 ›
Westford questions
How much does a dumpster cost in Westford?
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 Westford?
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. Westford adds no permit of its own that we could find. A dumpster on a street or sidewalk needs permission from the Select Board, in writing. Getting any permit is the customer's responsibility.
What size do most Westford 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.
