The signature bin
One size, every job
A roll-off dumpster is an open-top steel container that rolls off the back of the delivery truck and sits on the ground where you want it, then rolls back on when it is full. We run one size of roll-off, and we run it well. Sizing up is how most companies pad an invoice. Our 16-yard container is big enough for a full roof or a whole-house cleanout and small enough to sit on a normal Maine driveway without eating the whole apron.
- 16 ft L x 8 ft W x 4 ft H
- Holds about 5 pickup-truck loads
- Fits most residential driveways
- Fleet of 5, all 16 cubic yards
Straight pricing
$600
per week for a 16-yard roll-off, including 2 tons of disposal. Everything else varies by load and is quoted on the phone.
Eco-first disposal: we sort, recycle, and donate before anything heads to the landfill.
How it works
Clear the clutter in 3 steps
- 01
Call us at 207-289-5168 to pick a size and schedule. Or fill out the request form and the owner calls you back with a real quote.
- 02
Get same-day driveway-safe dropoff on planks, or let our crew haul your junk directly out of the house.
- 03
Watch us sort, recycle, and donate before responsible disposal at local Maine facilities.
Why call or form
Every job has a detail a form cannot catch: a steep driveway, a gate that will not clear the truck, a load of shingles that will hit weight before the bin looks full. Two minutes on the phone with the owner settles all of it, and the quote you hear is the quote you pay.
Open 24/7. Text works too if you would rather send a photo of the pile.
Why Waste Away
Built for Maine homeowners mid-project and crews on the clock
We built this business around two people. The first is the Southern Maine homeowner in the middle of a cleanout or a renovation, standing in a garage that has not been emptied since the last owner, who wants one local person to answer the phone and give a straight number. The second is the contractor who needs a job-site swap-out to land when he says it needs to land, not whenever a dispatch queue clears.
Neither of those people is served well by an app. That is why we keep booking simple: a call, a text, or the request form. The owner owns the trucks, answers the calls, and shows up on the drops, so the person quoting your job is the person responsible for it. If a driveway looks tight, he says so on the call instead of finding out on delivery.
Eco-first is not a slogan here either. Every load gets sorted. Usable furniture and household goods go to donation, metal and cardboard go to recycling, and only what is left goes to a local Maine disposal facility. See how 16-yard roll-off dumpster rentals work.
- Fleet of 5 containers, all 16 cubic yards, so swap-outs stay available
- Open 24/7, including nights and weekends
- One honest size and one published price, no size upsell
- Sort, recycle, donate, then dispose at local Maine facilities
- Locally owned, owner-run, fully licensed and insured
- Driveway-safe placement on planks to protect asphalt and pavers

Eco-first
We recycle and donate first
Every load that leaves your property gets sorted before it gets dumped. Furniture, appliances, tools and household goods in usable shape go to donation so somebody in Southern Maine gets another few years out of them. Metal goes to scrap recycling. Cardboard, clean wood and clean brush get separated out. Only what is genuinely spent gets taken to a local Maine disposal facility, and that trip happens last, not first.
- Sort the load by material before disposal
- Recycle metal, cardboard, and clean wood
- Donate usable furniture and household goods
- Dispose responsibly at local Maine facilities
Questions we get every week
Dumpster rental questions, answered
- How do I rent a dumpster in Southern Maine?
- Call 207-289-5168 and the owner books it on that call. Prefer to type it out? Fill out the form on the contact page and the owner calls you back. Same-day dropoff is often available. See the 16-yard roll-off dumpster rental details for what is included.
- Can I book a dumpster online?
- Yes. Fill out the request form on the contact page and the owner follows up to confirm size, price and drop window. A two-minute call at 207-289-5168 gets it booked even faster.
- How much does a dumpster rental cost?
- One week with the 16-yard roll-off is $600 and includes 2 tons of disposal. All other work, including junk removal and cleanouts, varies by load and is quoted on the phone. No hidden fees show up later.
- What is your phone number to rent a dumpster?
- 207-289-5168. That line reaches the owner directly, 24 hours a day, and you can text the same number if it is easier.
- How quickly can I get a dumpster delivered?
- Same-day dropoff is available in most of our service area. Call 207-289-5168 to confirm a window, since availability depends on where the fleet of 5 containers is sitting that day.
- Are you licensed and insured?
- Yes, Waste Away is fully licensed and insured. We are locally owned and owner-run, so the person quoting the job is the person responsible for it.
- What size dumpster do you offer?
- One versatile 16-yard roll-off, measuring 16 ft long by 8 ft wide by 4 ft high. That holds roughly 5 pickup-truck loads and still fits most residential driveways, which is why we run one honest size instead of upselling you into a bigger bin.
- Do I need a permit for a dumpster in my driveway?
- Generally no permit is needed on a private driveway. Placement on a street, sidewalk or right-of-way usually requires a municipal permit, and the rules differ by town, so check our Portland, Saco and Scarborough service area pages before a street drop.
