How much does a dumpster cost in Connecticut?

Updated regularly. From prices Connecticut companies publish on their own websites.

SizeTypical range, with the median markedMedianSample
10 yard $315 – $447 $399 14 companies
15 yard $399 – $505 $450 20 companies
20 yard $500 – $625 $550 18 companies

A 20-yard is the size most people rent, and in Connecticut it runs a median of $550, with most companies between $500 and $625. That is 31% above the national median of $419. Most of the gap between states is disposal: haulers pay a landfill by the ton and those gate rates are local, so two companies an hour apart can quote very differently for the same container.

Dumpster rental in Connecticut: common questions

How much does a dumpster cost in Connecticut?
A 20-yard dumpster in Connecticut has a median published price of $550, with most companies between $500 and $625. That is 31% above the national median of $419. Most of the gap between states is disposal cost. Haulers pay a landfill by the ton, and that gate rate varies more than anything else in the price.
How many dumpster rental companies are there in Connecticut?
We list 86 independently owned companies across 50 towns in Connecticut. National carriers and brokers are excluded, so this is the local operator market, not the whole industry.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in CT?
On your own driveway, almost never. On the street or any public right-of-way, usually yes, and the rules are set by the town, not the state. Ask the hauler first; companies that work a town daily know its rules and many pull the permit as part of the job.
What size dumpster should I rent in Connecticut?
Companies here publish prices for 10 yard, 15 yard and 20 yard containers. Size is volume, but weight decides the bill. Every rental includes a fixed tonnage and anything over it is charged by the ton. Concrete or roofing hits the limit long before the container looks full.
