Homestead Disposal, Inc - Dumpster Rental Service publishes a longer one, which matters if the job slips a week. Included tonnage around Acton lands near 2 tons, read off 17 published rates.

What the weather adds to a Acton dumpster bill
Acton gets 49.5 inches of rain in a normal year. A roll-off sits open, so that lands in the container and the truck weighs it on the way to the tip. You pay for the water by the ton along with everything you meant to throw out. 144 days a year drop below freezing, and a wet load that freezes is heavier and harder to tip. Tell the hauler if the container has frozen to the driveway before they send a truck. Ask for a tarp if it is going to stand through a wet week. NOAA 1991–2020 normals, from a station 2.9 miles out.
