Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
The price for every size is printed on this page, the order happens in one phone call, and the container arrives on the date you set. That is the arrangement, whether it is a weekend cleanout or a job site on its third container.
What goes into a Hingham dumpster, and what size fits the job? A lot of the work around here is home renovation. Older houses in Queen Anne's Corner and near the Lincoln Historic District get gutted and rebuilt, which means plaster, lath, and framing lumber. That debris is bulky but not terribly heavy, so a 20 or 30 usually handles it. Roof tear-offs are common too, and shingles are dense. Those go in a 10, loaded level, no exceptions. A bathroom remodel in a ranch near Veterans' Memorial Park might fill a 10. A whole-house cleanout near Cushing Pond often needs a 20 or 30. Match the container to what you are pulling out, and you will not pay for a second haul.
The drop itself usually happens mid-morning, but timing depends on routing, so plan for the truck to arrive any time after that. Most Hingham driveways are paved and level, which is good. The thing that catches people is overhead clearance. The truck tilts its bed high to set the container down, so a low limb or a service line over the drive can stop a delivery that looked fine from the ground. Walk the route in once before delivery day. Look up. If your spot is tight, mark it with a cone or a chair. That one check saves a phone call later.
Dumpster Sizes in Hingham
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Hingham, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
One stripped room, a shed coming down, the end of a long-postponed cleanout: the 10 yard takes it for $865 to $985 and fits where bigger containers cannot.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
The 20 yard, $950 to $1135, is the size crews default to: big enough for a full-room gut, small enough that the drive still works around it.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
A 40 yard is for jobs that would otherwise take two containers: a full gut-and-remodel, storm cleanup across a property, a commercial refit. $1225 to $1410, the tallest container we place — same footprint as the 20 and 30, with eight-foot walls.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
When a 10 would overflow and a 20 will not fit the drive, the 15 yard splits the difference — extra height on the same length, room for a whole-garage clearout.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
Estate clearances and gut renovations across several rooms fill a 30 yard, priced $1035 to $1150. The walls are tall, so big pieces go over the rail instead of through a door.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Hingham, MA
For homeowners
Cleanouts, moves, remodels, a yard that got away — homeowner debris is mostly light and bulky, and a 10 or 20 yard handles it from the driveway. If the job includes tile, plaster or concrete, say so when you book: dense material changes which size is right.
For contractors
Roofing crews watch weight, not space: a tear-off hits the tonnage allowance long before the rim. Demo crews are the same with plaster and tile. Framing and cleanup phases flip it — bulky, light, volume-driven. Say what phase the Hingham job is in and the container follows.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Hingham
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Hingham, MA?
Dumpster rental pricing in Hingham varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Hingham
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $865 – $985 | — | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $950 – $1135 | — | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $1035 – $1150 | — | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $1225 – $1410 | — | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Hingham address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (888) 664-7740 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Hingham
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hingham dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Hingham dumpster costs range from $865 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1410 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
Hingham runs from the waterfront near the Town Common all the way out to Queen Anne's Corner, and we cover every part of it. A driver might be pulling up to a tight Colonial driveway, or a wider lot out near Woodpecker Pond. The houses differ, but the delivery routine is the same. From Cushing Pond to Cassidy Field, if you can get the truck to the spot, we can get the container there.
Give the driver a level spot, pavement or packed gravel, with a straight approach behind it and nothing overhead. The bed tilts higher than the container stands, so a low branch or a service line can stop the whole drop.
Move cars the night before, unlock any gate on the route in, and mark the spot if you will be out. Plywood under the rails protects a soft or newly sealed driveway. A drop the truck cannot make becomes a trip charge and a new delivery date, which is the outcome all of this avoids.
Usually quickly, but it depends on the week. Deliveries are grouped by direction, so how soon a container reaches Hingham comes down to what is already on the schedule for that part of the map.
If the project has a firm start date, call a couple of days ahead of it. Same-week drops happen all the time; counting on one without asking first is how people end up waiting.
Measure the job by its debris, not its square footage. One bathroom or a single room of flooring is a 10. A full kitchen, cabinets and counters included, fills a 20. Whole-floor gut jobs and big cleanouts run to a 30.
The larger sizes share the same footprint and only grow taller, so a bigger container does not need a bigger driveway. The exception is heavy material: shingles, tile, concrete or dirt hit the weight limit long before the container looks full, so mention them when you call and let the tonnage set the size.
Clearance is the first thing we check, and the second is the permit. For a dumpster on your own property in Hingham, you generally do not need one. The town issues permits for containers on public ways, and that is handled by the Select Board's office. If you are thinking about the street, call them first. For a driveway drop, you are usually fine to proceed.
A lot of the housing stock here goes back a century or more, and the streets in the older parts of town were laid out for carriages, not trucks. That matters for a street placement. A container on the pavement needs the town's permission, and it needs to sit clear of the travel lane and any hydrant. The driver will place it as close to your property as the street allows. Just know that a narrow street like some of those off Hancock Street can complicate things. Call us with your address and we will tell you what is possible.
