Same-day dumpster rental and junk removal across Andover — renovation debris, garage and barn cleanouts, estate clearouts, and full-property cleanouts.
Andover is a green town, with the Merrimack along the north edge and the Shawsheen running down the middle. It's three towns in one: the Main Street center around Phillips Academy; Shawsheen Village, a planned company town built in the 1920s with executive housing on one side of the railroad and worker housing on the other; and west and south Andover — Harold Parker State Forest, Haggetts Pond, the Ward Reservation, and Holt Hill at 420 feet, the highest point in Essex County.
Whether you're clearing a garage off High Plain Road, gutting a kitchen in Shawsheen Village, or emptying a barn out toward Ballardvale a few minutes from the Andover Bookstore, Dumpster Dogs is the crew Andover calls.
No dispatcher, no subcontractor lottery. Just a local crew across this corner of three states who show up when they say and charge what they quoted.
Those two facts together are why this page exists.
Andover is a cart town: one trash cart per household, everything has to fit inside it with the lid closed, and extra carts are bought, not given.
What you cannot do is put out construction or demolition debris — the town names it explicitly, alongside appliances, TVs, treadmills, mowers and snowblowers, oil-based paint and solvents. And there's nowhere municipal to bring it. The only public drop-off in town is the Bald Hill compost site on High Plain Road, which takes yard waste only — permit required, residents only, no stumps, no rocks, no soil, no metal, paper bags only, closed for the winter.
Hazardous waste and electronics get one collection day each per year, with registration closing days ahead and no exceptions.
Andover is one of the easiest towns we work in. Wide lots, long driveways, real frontage — from High Plain Road and Haggetts Pond out to River Road and the Harold Parker edges, there's room to place a container properly and room for the truck to turn.
The exceptions are narrow: the Shawsheen Village worker-housing blocks east and south of the railroad, and the older Ballardvale mill village.
This is the core of what we do here. Gut a kitchen, strip a bathroom, pull up flooring, re-roof, drop a shed or a deck — all of it banned from the curb, with no town facility to take it. We size the container to the job and keep your contractor moving.
A lot of Andover homes have been in one family a long time, and clearing one takes patience and judgment. Full estate cleanouts, attic and basement clearouts, barn and outbuilding work — and if something looks like it has real value, we'll flag it rather than throw it on the truck.
You get a real quote, a real arrival time, and the same care whether it's one couch or a whole house.
No. Bald Hill is yard waste only — brush, leaves, grass — with a permit, closed for the winter. There's no municipal option in Andover for renovation waste.
For one chair, maybe. For a basement, a barn or a kitchen gut, no — and construction debris isn't eligible at all, no matter how many weeks you wait.
Most Andover properties take a large roll-off comfortably. Shawsheen Village and Ballardvale are tighter. Send us a picture of the drive and we'll confirm.
