When you need a dumpster rental in Dover, you need more than just a container dropped off in your driveway. You need a partner who understands your project, respects your timeline, and delivers exactly what they promise. That’s what we’ve been doing at Melansons Trash Disposal since 2008.
We provide reliable, affordable roll-off dumpster rentals for homeowners, contractors, property managers, and businesses throughout Strafford County and beyond. Whether you’re tackling a weekend garage cleanout or managing a multi-phase construction site, we make waste management simple. With same-day and next-day delivery options, transparent pricing, and a fleet of clean, well-maintained containers in six different sizes, we’re ready to help you get the job done right.
Need to rent a dumpster today? We’re here to make it happen.
Melansons Trash Disposal started with a simple idea: Dover and Strafford County deserved a dumpster rental company that treated every customer like a neighbor, not a transaction. Back in 2008, our founder saw too many people struggling with unpredictable pricing, late deliveries, and poor customer service from out-of-area waste management companies. So we set out to do it differently.
Seventeen years later, we’re still family-owned, still local, and still committed to making waste disposal as stress-free as possible. We’ve built our reputation one dumpster at a time by showing up on time, charging fair prices, and answering the phone when you call. That’s what professional dumpster rental looks like to us.
Our mission is straightforward: provide fast, reliable service with no surprises and no runaround. We work with homeowners renovating their kitchens, contractors managing job sites across New Hampshire, property managers coordinating estate cleanouts, and businesses handling ongoing waste needs. No matter the scope of your project, we’ve got the right container and the right support to help you succeed.
We also believe in responsible waste management. Whenever possible, we partner with local recycling facilities to divert materials from landfills and reduce our environmental impact. It’s the right thing to do for Dover, for Strafford County, and for the communities we serve every day.
Some projects don’t wait. A sudden storm leaves your yard covered in debris. A foreclosure cleanout needs to happen this week. Your contractor just told you the demolition starts tomorrow morning. When you need a dumpster right now, we’ve got you covered.
We offer same-day dumpster rental service throughout Dover and Strafford County when you place your order by noon. If you call after our cutoff time, we guarantee next-day delivery; no exceptions, no excuses. That kind of responsiveness matters when you’re working against a deadline or dealing with an emergency situation.
Our quick dumpster rental process means you’re never waiting around wondering when your container will arrive. We understand that time is money, especially for contractors juggling multiple job sites. That’s why we’ve streamlined everything from booking to delivery to make the entire experience as fast and efficient as possible.
Booking is easy, too. Order online in just a few minutes, give us a call, or send a quick text. However you prefer to communicate, we’re ready to get your dumpster rental scheduled and delivered when you need it most.
Not all projects are created equal, and neither are dumpsters. We offer six different container sizes so you can match your rental to your actual needs; not waste money on space you won’t use or end up scrambling for a second container halfway through your project.
10 Yard Dumpster Rental
Perfect for small cleanouts like clearing out a cluttered garage, tackling minor landscaping projects, or disposing of debris from a bathroom remodel. This compact option fits easily in tight driveways and holds roughly 3-4 pickup truck loads of waste.
10 Yard Lowboy Dumpster Rental
Our lowboy design sits closer to the ground, making it incredibly easy to load heavy materials like roofing shingles, concrete, or dirt. It’s the same 10-yard capacity but designed specifically for those back-breaking jobs where you don’t want to lift debris any higher than necessary.
15 Yard Dumpster Rental
Ideal for medium-sized home renovations, attic or basement cleanouts, and flooring removal projects. This mid-size container handles about 5-6 pickup truck loads and gives you plenty of room without taking up your entire driveway.
20 Yard Dumpster Rental
Our most popular size for residential projects. If you’re replacing a roof, remodeling a kitchen, or cleaning out an entire house, this is usually your best bet. It accommodates most home renovation debris and holds approximately 8-10 pickup truck loads.
30 Yard Dumpster Rental
When your project gets serious; major renovations, large construction debris, or substantial estate cleanouts; you need serious capacity. This container handles about 12-15 pickup truck loads and can manage significant volumes of construction waste, furniture, and general debris.
40 Yard Dumpster Rental
Our largest roll-off container option, built for commercial demolition, large construction sites, and major cleanout projects. With room for approximately 16-20 pickup truck loads, this is the go-to choice when you’re clearing out an entire building or managing a large-scale construction job.
Not sure which size you need? That’s what we’re here for. Give us a call and we’ll walk you through your project details to recommend the perfect container. And if you realize mid-project that you need to upgrade, just let us know; we’ll make it happen.
We’ve worked with just about every type of customer you can imagine over the past 17 years. From first-time homeowners nervous about their first big renovation to experienced contractors who need multiple containers delivered across different job sites, we’ve seen it all; and we’re ready to help with whatever you’re working on.
Homeowners come to us for all kinds of projects. Maybe you’re finally tackling that spring cleaning you’ve been putting off, or perhaps you’re in the middle of a full kitchen remodel. We handle dumpster rentals for home renovations, decluttering projects, and those satisfying garage, basement, or attic cleanouts that have been on your to-do list for years.
Moving or downsizing? We make it easy to dispose of the furniture, appliances, and household items you no longer need. Estate sales and foreclosure cleanouts require sensitivity and speed; we deliver both. And when storm debris piles up in your yard or you’re working through a major landscaping project, we’re ready with the right container to handle yard waste, tree debris, and everything in between.
For contractors and businesses, reliability isn’t just nice to have; it’s essential. We work with construction companies managing demolition projects, roofing contractors handling shingle disposal, and renovation teams coordinating complex remodeling jobs across Strafford County.
Property managers trust us for ongoing waste solutions, whether it’s a one-time estate cleanout or regular service for multiple properties. We offer flexible rental periods; short-term for quick projects, long-term for extended jobs, and everything in between. Need multiple containers delivered to different locations? We can coordinate that. Looking for dedicated account support so you always reach the same person who knows your business? We offer that, too.
Let’s talk about money. We believe in transparent, upfront pricing because nobody likes surprise charges showing up on their final bill. When we quote you a price for your dumpster rental, that’s what you’ll pay. No games, no gotchas, no fine print designed to confuse you.
Our all-inclusive rates cover everything: delivery to your location, the rental period, pickup when you’re done, and proper disposal of your materials. Whether you need a weekend dumpster rental for a quick project, weekly service for an ongoing renovation, or monthly rental for a long-term job site, we’ll quote you a fair price and stick to it.
We also offer volume discounts for contractors and repeat customers. If you’re going to be working with us regularly, we want to make it worth your while. And when you call for a free quote; whether online or by phone; we’ll give you honest pricing based on your actual needs, not an inflated number we plan to “negotiate” down later.
Affordable dumpster rental doesn’t mean cheap service. It means getting excellent value: the right equipment, delivered on time, at a price that makes sense. That’s what we’ve built our reputation on, and that’s what you can expect when you work with Melansons Trash Disposal.
We accept most common waste materials, but there are a few things we can’t take. Here’s what you need to know before you start filling your dumpster.
If you’re not sure whether something can go in your dumpster, just ask. We’re happy to help you figure out the proper disposal method for any prohibited items.
Responsible waste management matters to us. We work with local recycling facilities throughout New Hampshire to divert as much material as possible from landfills. Wood, metal, cardboard, and certain construction materials often have a second life when processed properly. While not everything can be recycled, we make the effort to handle your debris in the most environmentally responsible way we can.

| Common Customer Questions & Concerns | |
| How do I select the correct size? | Not sure? No problem. When you call, just describe your project; what you're throwing away and where it's coming from. We'll recommend the right size to avoid paying for space you don't need or running out of room mid-project. |
| What if I overload the dumpster? | Every dumpster has a fill line marked on the inside. Keep debris level with or below that line. Overloading creates safety hazards during transport and may result in additional fees. If you think you'll need more space, just call us; we can swap it out or deliver a second dumpster. |
| What items are prohibited? | We cannot accept hazardous materials including paint, chemicals, batteries, asbestos, tires, propane tanks, certain electronics, or medical waste. Most household junk, construction debris, furniture, appliances, and yard waste are perfectly fine. When in doubt, just ask! |
| Do I need a permit? | If the dumpster goes on your private property (driveway, yard), you typically don't need a permit. If it needs to sit on a public street or right-of-way, you may need permission from your local municipality. We'll help guide you through the process if needed. |
| Where should I place the dumpster? | Choose a flat, stable surface with clear overhead access (no low-hanging wires or branches). Driveways work great. Avoid soft ground, grass, or septic systems. We'll place plywood boards under the dumpster to protect your driveway from scratches or marks. |
| What are the rental terms? | Standard rental periods are typically 7 days, but we offer flexible options including weekend, short-term, and monthly rentals. Need more time? Just give us a call. Our pricing includes delivery, pickup, disposal, and the rental period; no surprise fees. |
| How fast can you deliver? | We offer same-day and next-day delivery throughout Dover and Strafford County. Call us early in the day, and we'll do everything possible to get a dumpster on your site within hours. We understand that timing matters, especially on tight project schedules. |
| Will the dumpster damage my property? | We take care to protect your property. We use plywood boards under the dumpster on driveways and position it carefully to avoid landscaping, sprinklers, and underground utilities. Our drivers are experienced and always prioritize safe, damage-free placement. |
