Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal in Peabody, MA

Peabody was the Tanner City. The leather industry ran here for well over a century, and the tanneries lined Walnut Street — long enough known as Ottoman Street for the Turkish leatherworkers who settled around it that the name stuck. That industry is history now, but its shape isn't: dense 19th-century worker housing on small lots around Peabody Square, Walnut, Foster and Washington Streets.

Everything else came later. West Peabody was mostly farmland until the 1950s, and South Peabody filled in behind it — ranches, splits and colonials on wide lots with two-car driveways. That contrast is the whole town.

Whether you're clearing a garage in West Peabody, gutting a bathroom off Lowell Street, or emptying a house near Peabody Square a few doors from Treadwell's, Dumpster Dogs is the crew Peabody calls.

Local, small, and priced the way we'd want to be charged.

Every Appliance Is a $20 Sticker, One Item at a Time

Peabody's white goods sticker runs $20 per item and is valid for one item only — refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, stoves, microwaves, TVs, hot water heaters, air conditioners, gas grills, mowers, snowblowers, wood stoves, CRT monitors, metal filing cabinets and desks. Mattresses and box springs need one too.

The Farm Avenue drop-off is Peabody residents only and weekdays only, 7:00 to 4:00 — open exactly when most people are at work.

Clean out a garage and count: a fridge, a washer, a dryer, a mower, a snowblower, an old TV and two mattresses is eight stickers, $160, and a weekday off. Then there's still all the furniture.

Dumpster Rental in Peabody, MA

This is genuinely good roll-off country. West Peabody and South Peabody are postwar and later subdivisions — wide lots, generous frontage, two-car driveways. We can place a proper container without threading a truck between fences, and you fill it on your own schedule instead of stacking up sticker purchases.

The tight work is the old tannery blocks: Peabody Square and the dense stretches of Walnut, Foster and Washington Streets.

Renovation & Demolition Debris in Peabody

Kitchen and bath demo, flooring ripped out, roofing tear-off, decks and sheds. We size the container to the job and handle disposal properly, including the Massachusetts bans on wood, drywall, brick, concrete, metals and tires.

Estate Cleanouts and Junk Removal

For estates, downsizing or getting a house ready to list, we work at whatever pace the family needs. And if you don't want a container in the driveway for a week, we'll just load it and go.

Peabody's Dumpster Permit Has a Placement Rule

Peabody requires a dumpster permit through the Fire Department at $60 — valid 30 days for residential, annually for commercial, expiring each March 15. The condition most people don't know about is written into the permit itself: all dumpsters must be placed five feet from the property and off the street. On a dense Peabody lot, that rules out a lot of driveways before the container ever arrives.

The city also charges $20 per item for white goods, covering air conditioners, CRTs, washers and dryers, dehumidifiers, dishwashers, water heaters, microwaves, refrigerators, stoves, televisions and wood stoves. Mattresses are their own program — $20 per mattress and another $20 per box spring, dropped at the Recycling Center on Farm Avenue, which is residents-only and open weekdays 7 to 4.

And as of July 1, 2026, there's a $200 per-unit annual trash fee on water and sewer bills, with a $100 discount for seniors and veterans who own and live in their homes.

Peabody's housing stock is why the volume shows up. More than a fifth of it — 4,920 units — predates World War II, and nearly 37% was built between 1940 and 1970. Houses that old and that long-held accumulate. Where the five-foot rule makes a container impossible, we carry it out instead, including the mattresses the city charges twice for.

Why Peabody Calls Us

Eight stickers and a weekday off, or one container and your Saturday back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why not just buy the $20 stickers?

For one appliance, do that. For a garage or basement you're buying eight or ten stickers and taking a weekday off for a drop-off that's closed weekends.

Which dumpster size should a Peabody homeowner order?

Most of West and South Peabody takes a large roll-off comfortably. Around Peabody Square and the tannery streets it's tighter.
