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 Shelton list
One of the 42 is based in Shelton itself and the other 41 run out to it from nearby towns. On rating alone it is Newtown Junk Removal, LLC at 5.0; on weight of evidence it is Residential Waste Systems | Garbage & Recycling Pick Up, with 483 reviews. Seven of the 42 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 Shelton, CT?
Updated regularly. Based on 23 published prices from 7 of the 42 companies serving Shelton.
| Size | Median price | Range | Included weight | Included days | Companies |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | $399 | $375 to $447 | 1 ton | 7 days | 3 |
| 15 yard | $475 | $399 to $547 | 1 ton | 7 days | 5 |
| 20 yard | $598 | $430 to $647 | 1 ton | 7 days | 6 |
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. Weight over the included allowance, permits, and extra rental days are billed on top, so the number you pay is usually higher than the number you see here. Call to get the all-in figure.

What the Shelton dumpster market looks like
On a 20-yard, Dan's Cans publishes $430 and Grizzly Junk Pros publishes $647. Same size, $217 apart, and both of them serve Shelton.
1 yard sits in Shelton, and the widest service radius reaching the town is 24 miles. Distance rarely changes the drop fee. It changes how fast anyone can come back.
Between them these companies carry 2,879 Google reviews. Residential Waste Systems | Garbage & Recycling Pick Up holds the biggest book at 483, rated 4.9.
17% of the companies here put a number on their own site. The other 35 want the call first, which is worth knowing before you plan your afternoon.
A 20-yard runs $598 in the middle here against $550 across Connecticut, so Shelton prices 9% above the state. Tipping fees and haul distance are usually what is behind a gap like that.
The sizes this town actually stocks are the 10-yard, the 15-yard, the 20-yard, and the 30-yard. Anything outside that is a special order somebody has to drive in.
Newtown Junk Removal, LLC holds the best rating serving Shelton at 5.0 from 271 reviews. The bottom of this page sits at 3.4, so read the row before you dial.
Companies here quote about 7 days in the rental before daily charges start. Ask what the extra day costs before you need one.
The typical allowance quoted here is 1 tons before overage. Roofing and concrete blow through that faster than a house cleanout does.
41 of the 42 run a website you can check before calling. The other one takes the job over the phone, which is common for the smaller yards and says nothing about the work.
No single company dominates Shelton. The biggest book of reviews is 17% of the town's total, so there is genuine choice here rather than one name and a queue.
The cheapest published anything in Shelton is an 8-yard at $365, from Grizzly Junk Pros. That is the floor on this page, not the price of the size you probably need.

Common questions about dumpster rental in Shelton, CT
- What is the price of a 20-yard dumpster in Shelton?
- Companies serving Shelton that publish a price list a median of $598 for a 20-yard, against $550 across Connecticut. That is a starting price. Weight over the included allowance is billed separately.
- What is the cheapest dumpster rental in Shelton?
- The lowest published starting price among companies serving Shelton is $365. The cheapest listed price is not always the cheapest job: a smaller container with less included weight can cost more once overage is added.
- Which is the best dumpster rental company in Shelton?
- Grizzly Junk Pros ranks first in Shelton on our Index Score, at 99 out of 100 on review volume, rating, published pricing and reachability, weighted. On other measures: Newtown Junk Removal, LLC holds the highest Google rating among companies serving Shelton, at 5.0 across 271 reviews. Residential Waste Systems | Garbage & Recycling Pick Up has the most reviews, 483 at 4.9. Review count on its own favors whoever has been trading longest, so it is only part of the score. And the cheapest listed price is not the cheapest job once weight allowance and rental period are counted.
- Who rents dumpsters in Shelton?
- We list 42 independently owned companies serving Shelton, 1 of them based in town. National carriers and brokers are not included.
- Which roll-off sizes do Shelton companies carry?
- Companies serving Shelton list 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 20, 25, 30, 40 yard containers. Pick by what is going in, not by the driveway: dense or small in a 10, roof and remodel debris in a 20, volume work in a 30 or 40.
- Is Shelton cheaper than the rest of Connecticut for a dumpster?
- The median published 20-yard price in Shelton is $598, 9% above the $550 median across Connecticut. A quote covers the round trip from the yard to your job to the landfill, so the closest company is not automatically the cheapest one.
- What does a 10-yard dumpster cost in Shelton?
- In Shelton: a 10-yard runs a median of $399 (3 companies), a 15-yard runs a median of $475 (5 companies). Price scales far slower than volume, so stepping up one size usually costs less than you would guess and is cheaper than needing a second container.
- How long can you keep a dumpster in Shelton?
- The most common listed rental period among Shelton companies is 7 days, from the 23 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.
- Do I have to use a company from outside Shelton?
- 1 of the 42 companies we list are based in Shelton itself; the rest are within 25 miles and typically serve it. What sets the price is the run from their yard to the landfill, not from their yard to your driveway, so an out-of-town company can still be the cheaper call.
