Why the South Coast calls Bedford Bros

A local hauler, not a call centre with a truck somewhere

Two brothers, one roll-off truck, and a straightforward idea: quote a real price, turn up when you said you would, and treat somebody's property like it is your own. When you dial (508) 501-1638 you reach our yard on 1011 Church St — not a national dispatch queue that has never tried to place a container on a North End street where every house is a triple-decker and nobody has a driveway.

That local knowledge is most of the job here. Knowing which streets a loaded truck can actually turn on. Knowing that plaster and lath out of a hundred-year-old New Bedford three-decker weighs several times what modern drywall does, and will fill a tonnage allowance while the box still looks half empty. Knowing the Massachusetts disposal bans well enough to tell you what has to come out of the load before it gets to the scale rather than after.

  • Flat-rate quotes with the tonnage allowance stated up front
  • Same-day and next-day delivery across Bristol County and Plymouth County
  • Driveway boards on every placement, never an add-on
  • Straight guidance on the Massachusetts waste bans, including mattresses and textiles
  • Licensed and insured in Massachusetts, locally owned

Why choose us

Six reasons contractors keep our number saved

  • Local, not a call centre

    You reach our yard on 1011 Church St, not a national dispatch queue. The person who answers knows which streets a truck can actually turn on and which triple-deckers have nowhere to put a box at all.

  • One flat price, written down

    Delivery, rental period, pickup, fuel, disposal and a stated tonnage allowance in a single number. If something would push you over, we tell you before the truck leaves.

  • Same-day when you need it

    Call before noon and most New Bedford orders go out the same day. Swap-outs on live jobsites get priority over everything else.

  • We work right through winter

    Nor'easters do not stop us. Clear the placement spot and we will deliver — and if a snow emergency is called while your box is on the street, we will move it.

  • The right box, not the biggest

    Weight fills a container long before volume does. We will talk you into a smaller can if that is the honest answer.

  • Loads sorted properly

    Massachusetts bans concrete, metal, gypsum, C&D wood, yard waste, mattresses and textiles from disposal. We sort to those rules as standard and tell you how to sort on site.

Massachusetts is different

The disposal rules here catch nearly everyone out

Massachusetts has the most restrictive waste bans in the country, and almost nobody renting their first container knows it. MassDEP prohibits a long list of materials from being landfilled or incinerated — asphalt, brick and concrete; metal, including appliances; clean gypsum wallboard; construction and demolition wood; leaves and yard waste; whole tyres; and, since November 2022, mattresses, box springs and textiles.

That last pair is the one that stings. Clear out a house and you will produce three mattresses and eight bags of clothing and bedding without trying, and none of it can go in a mixed container. The good news is that once you know, it is easy to plan for — and separating properly is genuinely cheaper here, because a clean single-material load costs far less to handle than a contaminated one.

We will walk you through exactly what has to come out before you load anything. Start with the Massachusetts allowed and prohibited items guide, or read where your load actually ends up.

How it works

From your phone call to an empty driveway

No forms, no portal logins, no waiting on a quote email. Five steps, and the first is a conversation with somebody who has actually loaded a container.

Two minutes on the phone is the whole booking

Tell us the address, roughly what is going in, where you want it and when. That is the entire process on your side. We handle sizing, scheduling, protection, hauling and disposal.

If you are not sure what size you need, do not guess — describe the pile. Sizing containers is what we do all day, and we would rather talk you into the cheaper box than sell you space you will never fill.

Call (508) 501-1638
  1. 1

    Call and tell us the job

    One short conversation. We ask what you are clearing, where the box needs to sit and when you need it. No forms, no waiting on an email.

  2. 2

    We size it and quote it flat

    You get one number covering delivery, the rental period, pickup, disposal and a stated tonnage allowance. If a smaller box does the job we will say so.

  3. 3

    Delivered on boards, where you want it

    The driver walks the spot with you, lays protection under the rails and sets the container square. In winter, clear the snow off the spot and we will handle the rest.

  4. 4

    Load at your own pace

    Keep it level with the top rail and keep the banned items out. Need a swap mid-job or an early pickup? One call and we are on it.

  5. 5

    We haul it and sort it right

    Clean concrete, metal and green waste get routed for recovery rather than buried. You get your driveway back the way you left it.

The thing nobody tells you

Bigger is not always the safe choice

Most people ordering their first dumpster assume the biggest container is the least risky option. With light, bulky material — furniture, boxes, insulation, cabinetry — that is true. With anything dense it is the opposite.

A 30 or 40 yard box loaded with roofing shingles, or with plaster and lath out of an older three-decker, will blow past its tonnage allowance while it still looks half empty, and you pay the overage by the ton. A 20 yard with a matched allowance often costs less for exactly the same job. Concrete, brick and asphalt go further still — and in Massachusetts they are banned from disposal anyway, so they need a dedicated low-fill heavy debris container that gets routed for recycling.

Ask us and you will get the honest answer, even when the honest answer is the smaller box. The size guide walks through the maths, and the cost breakdown covers what actually moves the price.

New Bedford specifics

No driveway? That is most of this city

A huge share of New Bedford's housing is triple-deckers and multi-family on narrow streets with no off-street parking at all. National haulers treat that as an edge case. Here it is Tuesday.

The realistic options are a street placement with a municipal permit, a shared driveway with a neighbour's agreement, or simply a smaller container that fits somewhere a 30 never could. Which one is right depends on the street, the parking situation and how long you need it — and it is worth a two-minute conversation before you book rather than a failed delivery afterwards.

Winter adds a wrinkle worth planning around: a declared snow emergency can require a street-placed container to move at short notice. We keep an eye on it, and if a storm is coming while your box is on the street we will call you. Read the permit guide and the winter guide before you plan the dates.

What locals say

Straight talk from customers around the South Coast

Called at nine, had a 20 yard on the drive by two. Boards down, doors facing the bulkhead, and the driveway looked exactly the same when they picked it up a week later.

Karen V.Fairhaven — Basement Cleanout

We build all over the South Coast and Bedford Bros is the only hauler that has never left us sitting on a full box. When they say Tuesday, it is Tuesday.

Dan R.Dartmouth — Residential Builder

Two-layer tear-off on a triple-decker with nowhere to put a box. They sorted the street permit side of it and talked me down from a 30 to a 20 on the weight. Saved me the overage.

Tony M.New Bedford — Roof Tear-Off

They walked us through the mattress and textile rules before we started, which nobody else mentioned. Saved us a rejected load on a house full of my mother's things.

FAQs

Dumpster rental questions, answered

The questions we field most often from New Bedford homeowners and contractors. More on the full FAQ page.

How much does it cost to rent a dumpster in New Bedford?

Price depends on the size, how dense the debris is, how long you keep it and how far you are from our yard. What matters more is how the price is built. Ours is a flat rate covering delivery, the rental period, pickup, fuel, disposal and a stated tonnage allowance, so the number you are quoted is the number you pay unless you go over the weight. Call with a short description of the job and you will get a firm figure.

How quickly can you deliver a dumpster in New Bedford?

Most orders placed before noon go out the same day across New Bedford and the nearer Bristol County towns. Afternoon bookings usually land first thing the next morning. Jobsite swap-outs get priority because a full container stops a crew working. The exceptions are honest ones — severe weather, a declared snow emergency, or a street placement that still needs a permit.

Do I need a permit for a dumpster in New Bedford?

If the container sits entirely on your own driveway or property, generally no. If it has to sit on a public street, sidewalk or right-of-way, you will usually need a permit from the municipality that controls that road. This comes up far more here than in most cities, because so much of the housing stock is triple-deckers and multi-family with no off-street parking at all. Tell us the address and we will talk you through it.

What can't go in the dumpster in Massachusetts?

More than in most states. Beyond the universal bans — liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, chemicals, batteries, propane, refrigerant appliances, asbestos — Massachusetts also bans asphalt, brick and concrete, metal, clean gypsum wallboard, construction wood, yard waste, tyres, and since November 2022 mattresses and textiles. Those must be separated and recycled rather than thrown in a mixed container.

Can I really not put a mattress in the dumpster?

Not in a mixed load, no. Massachusetts banned mattresses and box springs from disposal in November 2022, so they have to go for recycling instead. It catches almost every homeowner out, and it is worth knowing before you start rather than after the load is rejected. Tell us how many you have when you book and we will sort out how to handle them.

Will the dumpster damage my driveway?

It should not, and we take real steps to prevent it. Boards go under the rails and roller contact points on every driveway placement at no extra charge. Damage almost always happens during the roll-off and pick-up rather than while the container sits. New England freeze-thaw and road salt are hard on driveways, so a surface already cracked or spalling carries more risk whatever anyone does — flag it and we will pick a better spot.

What if my house has no driveway?

Very common here, and we deal with it every week. The options are a street placement with a municipal permit, a shared drive with a neighbour's agreement, or a smaller container that fits where a 30 never would. Call and describe the street — we will tell you honestly what will and will not work before you commit to anything.

Do you deliver in the winter?

All winter. Nor'easters do not stop us. What we need is the placement spot cleared before the truck arrives, with the snow pushed somewhere other than where the container has to sit. Frozen ground actually carries a loaded truck better than saturated spring ground. If a snow emergency is declared while your box is on the street, call us and we will move it.
