Dumpster rental and junk removal in Merrimac — garage and barn clearouts, estate cleanouts, renovation debris, and full-property cleanouts.
Merrimac is a small diamond-shaped town on the north bank of the Merrimack that split off from Amesbury in 1876 and spent the next fifty years building horse-drawn carriages. Merrimac Square is still the center, with Route 110 running east and west through town as Main Street and Battis Field just off it.
One thing shapes every truck route here: there's no bridge across the Merrimack from Merrimac itself. Everything funnels to I-495 at Exit 115 or out along Route 110.
Whether you're clearing a garage off West Main Street, emptying a house near Merrimac Square, or cleaning out a property out by Lake Attitash, Dumpster Dogs is the crew Merrimac calls.
Locally owned, no dispatcher, and the number we quote is the number you pay.
Merrimac is pay-as-you-throw. Trash goes out Fridays in town-issued blue bags, priced by size with a weight cap, and the town's warning is blunt: non-conforming bags, overweight bags, yard waste, demolition material and hazardous materials will be left at the curb.
White goods are collected the first Friday of the month only, with a paid sticker bought several days ahead. Bulk items need a sticker too. And two rules do most of the damage: items six feet or more in length or height cannot be placed curbside, and construction, building material, glass and related items are not picked up curbside at all.
For any of that, the town points you to the transfer station in Georgetown — out of town, priced per item.
Also worth knowing if you own property here: buildings over six units, private developments, and trailer park units aren't eligible for municipal collection at all.
The subdivisions toward Lake Attitash and the New Hampshire line have proper driveways and room to place a container. The tighter work is around Merrimac Square and the older carriage-era stretches of Route 110, where houses sit close to the road.
Anything six feet or longer — which the curb won't take at any price — goes straight in.
Merrimac has a lot of long-held family homes and the garages and barns that come with them. Full estate cleanouts, garage and barn clearouts, attic and basement work, and downsizing moves.
Building material is excluded from curbside collection outright, and the nearest facility is in another town. Kitchen and bath demo, old flooring, roof tear-offs, decking and sheds — one container, right in your driveway.
We show up when we said, we take what we said we'd take, and we don't find extra charges at the bottom of the load.
Not if it's six feet or more in length or height — Merrimac excludes those from curbside pickup entirely, sticker or no sticker.
Construction and building material aren't picked up curbside at all. The town directs residents to Georgetown, or we take the whole job from your driveway.
No — buildings over six units, private developments and trailer park units aren't eligible for municipal collection.
Yes — Amesbury, West Newbury, Haverhill, Bradford and Groveland, plus Newton, South Hampton and Plaistow across the New Hampshire line.
