Dumpster permit in Beverly, MA

The Fire Department permit

The city lists a dumpster permit for the keeping and use of a construction dumpster on the property, sent in with a $10 fee. The form is the Massachusetts standard permit application (FP-006) and gets returned to the Fire Department at 15 Hale Street, Beverly. The city's Fire page lists headquarters there; administrative work is done at that station.

The city's pages do not give a processing time, a permit length or a phone number for this form. Ask at the Hale Street station, and file before the dumpster arrives.

Checked November 2026. Fees and forms change, so use the Fire Department permit page rather than an old printout.

Casella and the Beverly discount

Casella is the city's hauler. Its bulky price list says that people clearing a house, moving, renovating or disposing of many bulky pieces "may be required to use a dumpster" and that Beverly residents get 10% off residential dumpster rentals. Call (800) CASELLA and say you are a Beverly municipal customer. Pricing and availability are by phone; the sheet publishes no rental price.

Ask the rental company about weight limits and what is banned. Beverly's own rule is that mattresses and textiles must be recycled or donated, not thrown out, so ask whether the contract allows them.

Street placement, and when a dumpster is the wrong tool

The Fire Department form covers keeping a dumpster on the property. Nothing on beverlyma.gov says whether a roll-off may sit on a public way, or who approves it. Beverly's Engineering office handles street work, so call 978-605-2355 (Mon-Wed 8:30-4:30, Thu until 7:30, Fri until 1) before ordering one for the curb. City Hall operations are at 175 Cabot Street during renovations.

For a garage, a basement or a few rooms, a dumpster is more than you need. JUNKRUN loads by trailer space instead: quarter $209, half $319, three-quarter $409, full $519. We carry from inside and haul it away the same day, and nothing sits on your driveway for a week.
