At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Barnstable, Massachusetts, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards, from Hyannis and Centerville to Osterville, Cotuit, Marstons Mills, and West Barnstable. Summer home updates, cottage renovations, roof replacements, and steady construction work across the town's seven villages keep roll-off containers in demand.
Your total depends on the size of the container, what you're throwing away, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees where your debris ends up.

Several things shape what a dumpster costs you in Barnstable.
The container size is the starting point. A bigger one costs more, but the right fit spares you overage fees and a second trip.
Weight matters a lot on the Cape. Disposal is priced by the ton, and the Town's fee schedule for July 2026 through June 2027 charges $285 per ton for construction and demolition debris. A mixed load, with 20 percent or more metal, cardboard, or other material, costs $385 per ton. Sorting before you load makes a real difference.
Distance plays a part as well. Everything that leaves Cape Cod by truck has to cross the canal, so long hauls are built into prices here.
Street placement can add a step. If the container can't fit on your property, you'll need Public Works approval first, which is covered below.

Pick a size based on how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom gut, a small attic or basement cleanout, or yard debris. It's also best for heavy material like old plaster, which reaches the weight limit before the container fills up.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a garage cleanout, new flooring, or a small roof tear-off. It adds space without a big step up in cost.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a solid pick for emptying a whole house or cottage, or for remodeling several rooms at once.
The 30-Yard Dumpster covers large renovations, additions, and new home construction with a lot of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size. It's suited to commercial construction, full demolition, and big property cleanouts. Many older village lots are tight, so check your drop spot before choosing the largest sizes.
Talk the project through with your account manager, and they'll help you land on the right size.
A dumpster that sits on private property, like your driveway, generally doesn't need a Town permit. If it has to go in a Town street, a public way, or across a sidewalk, check with Public Works before delivery.
The Department of Public Works handles work in Town roads. Its online permits include a Road Opening and Trench Permit, but the Town doesn't list a separate permit or fee for a container that simply sits in the road. The Town's street rules ask for applications at least five business days ahead, and permits are issued within five working days once the paperwork is complete.
Because the rules for a parked container aren't spelled out, call first. Reach the Barnstable Department of Public Works at 508-790-6400. The office is at 382 Falmouth Road in Hyannis. You can find the Town's permit links on its Public Works page.
If you're unsure whether your drop spot is on Town property, your account manager can help you reach the right Town contact.
Most remodel and cleanout debris is fine to load. Massachusetts, though, bans more from the trash than most states.
The Town's transfer station rules list the items that the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection bans from construction debris and household trash. The list includes asphalt pavement, brick, concrete, batteries, glass containers, metal, appliances, fluorescent bulbs, recyclable paper and plastics, TVs and monitors, tires, leaves and grass, cardboard, and textiles.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and propane tanks can't go in a standard dumpster either. Asbestos is strictly prohibited at the Town's facility.
Since so many common items are banned, sort as you go. Keep metal, cardboard, and brick or concrete apart, and tell us about them when you book. Ask your account manager about anything you're unsure of before it goes in the container.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
The Town runs its own facility, the Barnstable Transfer Station & Recycling Center at 45 Flint Street, Marstons Mills, MA 02648. It's open seven days a week, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and closed on holidays. The phone number is 508-420-2258.
Residents and contractors can bring construction debris from Barnstable properties there, but only in vehicles no larger than 5 cubic yards. Every load crosses the scale, and the facility doesn't take asphalt, concrete, or brick at all. Recyclables have to be sorted into separate bins for cardboard, plastics, paper, cans, and glass.
That size limit means a full roll-off usually goes to a larger permitted facility instead. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and explain the fees before delivery.
45 Flint Street, Marstons Mills, MA 02648
Open seven days a week, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; closed on holidays.
Most dumpster rentals in Barnstable can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Summer on the Cape is busy, so booking a few days ahead is a smart move, especially if you need a street spot.
A few tips help things go smoothly:
The Town's transfer station is open every day of the week, which helps small self-haul trips fit around your schedule.

Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
Dumpster rentals in Barnstable range from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. Your debris type and per-ton disposal fees also affect the total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates.
For a small load, a trip to the Town's transfer station can cost less. Vehicles there are capped at 5 cubic yards, though, so a real remodel means many trips, each weighed and billed. A dumpster lets you work at your own pace, and we haul it all at once.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's still room for a bed frame, chairs, and boxes. Furniture takes up space but not much weight, so the container fills up well before it gets too heavy.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your dumpster. Massachusetts also bans tires, appliances, TVs and monitors, batteries, metal, cardboard, and brick or concrete from trash loads. Set those items aside and ask your account manager how to handle them.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Disposal is charged by the ton here, so a small container full of plaster or shingles can still run over its limit. Keep heavy debris separate and sort out metal and cardboard to save.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price by the job, not the day, and weight plays a much bigger role in your bill. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and any extra-day charge.
Most construction and household debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, and furniture. Because Massachusetts bans metal, cardboard, brick, and concrete from trash, those need to be kept out or handled separately. Your account manager can confirm any item before you load it.
