How this ranking works. Ordered by Index Score, out of 100: review volume 35, rating 25, published pricing 25, contactability 15. Publishing your rates moves you up, and that is the only way up. We don't sell placement. Distances are from each company's listed address, and service areas aren't confirmed with owners, so call to check they cover you. Full method.
How to read the Meriden list
One of the 35 is based in Meriden itself and the other 34 run out to it from nearby towns. Filth2Fresh Bin Cleaning is both the best-rated and the most-reviewed of them, at 5.0 across 363 Google reviews. Six of the 35 publish a rate on their own site; the rest quote by phone. That split is typical, and it is why the medians here are worth having.
How much does a dumpster cost in Meriden, CT?
Updated regularly. Based on 15 published prices from 6 of the 35 companies serving Meriden.
| Size | Median price | Range | Included weight | Included days | Companies |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 yard | $449 | $160 to $525 | 1 ton | 7 days | 5 |
| 20 yard | $585 | $510 to $625 | 1.5 tons | 7 days | 4 |
Weight and days are the local medians among companies publishing those terms; "ask" means fewer than two local companies state it. Over the allowance bills per ton, so the weight column is the one that separates two similar prices.
These are rates each company publishes on its own website, collected by our crawler and not confirmed with the owner. They're a starting price for the container and the haul. The gap between this number and the invoice is almost always weight. Ask what allowance the price includes and what a ton over it costs.
What dumpster sizes can you rent in Meriden?
10 sizes are listed by companies serving Meriden:

Drawn to scale against each other. The 20, 30 and 40 share a footprint. All that changes is wall height, so driveway space rules out fewer sizes than people expect.

|---|---|
| 10–15 yard | Household cleanout, single-room remodel, small yard job |
| 20 yard | Roofing tear-off, whole-home cleanout, small construction |

- Companies serving Meriden list 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 30, 40 yard containers. The 20-yard covers the middle of the range. Go down to a 10 for heavy material, up to a 30 or 40 when the job produces bulk instead of weight.
- Is dumpster rental expensive in Meriden?
- The median published 20-yard price in Meriden is $585, 6% above the $550 median across Connecticut. Most of the difference between towns is haul distance to the landfill and what that landfill charges per ton, so a company one town over can quote noticeably less for the same container.

- The most common listed rental period among Meriden companies is 7 days, from the 18 that publish one. Extra days are usually billed at a daily rate. Most companies will collect early at no extra charge, so book the shorter period and call when you finish.
- Which dumpster companies are based in Meriden?
