A 20-yard is the size most people rent, and in Maryland it runs a median of $495, with most companies between $425 and $529. That is 18% 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 Maryland: common questions

How much does a dumpster cost in Maryland?
A 20-yard dumpster in Maryland has a median published price of $495, with most companies between $425 and $529. That is 18% 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 Maryland?
We list 84 independently owned companies across 41 towns in Maryland. 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 MD?
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 Maryland?
Companies here publish prices for 10 yard, 15 yard, 20 yard and 30 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.
