For facilities, procurement, and project managers with sites in Massachusetts. You get the network, the deliveries, and the state rules that change the buy.

How we work in Massachusetts
Local haulers do the work; we hold the contract, own the problems, and send one bill. One agreement can hold roll-off dumpsters, portable toilets, and restroom trailers for every Massachusetts site. If you’re weighing us against a single hauler, here’s how a broker, a hauler, and our provider network differ.

The network
The network in Massachusetts
At Massachusetts job sites, October 26, 2024 through October 26, 2026 · Published figure
Figures are counts of completed deliveries, providers, and accounts in this window from our records, as of October 2026. Roll-off deliveries are containers delivered. Portable toilet deliveries are units placed, not orders. A company that completed both services is counted in both service rows, so those rows are not a split of the provider total. The counts are not a promise that every address is covered. Front-load service, compactors, and balers are not in these counts.
State rules
Massachusetts rules a buyer should know
What follows is a buyer’s summary of the Massachusetts rules that change the buy. It is not legal advice, so check the current text and the site’s local ordinance before you rely on it.
Where construction debris can go
MassDEP’s waste disposal bans guide bans asphalt pavement, brick, concrete, metal, clean gypsum wallboard, and wood from disposal under 310 CMR 19.017. Its C&D waste ban FAQ says those bans have applied since July 1, 2006 (gypsum since July 1, 2011), with an action level of 20 percent by volume of a load. Loads with banned C&D go to facilities with approved waste ban compliance plans, such as C&D processors, while transfer stations taking loads of 5 cubic yards or less don’t have to separate. Confirm acceptance with the facility before the haul.
Who may haul portable toilet waste
Massachusetts’ Title 5 rules, 310 CMR 15.000, define septage to include the contents of a chemical toilet, and a septage hauler is someone licensed by the local board of health (the approving authority) to remove septage and take it to an approved disposal location, under a permit issued under M.G.L. c. 111, s. 31. Stabilized portable toilet waste can’t be discharged to a Title 5 system. Crew counts are on the OSHA portable toilet requirements guide.
A container on a public street
Boston Public Works’ street occupancy permit guide says to apply online at least seven business days before you need the space. The application asks how many dumpsters, their size, and whether there’s a chute, and you’ll need a traffic plan, a plan for a Boston police detail, and proof of bonding. Other Massachusetts cities and towns set their own rules.
