Get a Free Junk Removal QuoteWe dispatch East Lyme from our West Haven yard, about 45 minutes door-to-door from our West Haven yard via I-95 east, exit 74. East Lyme comprises Niantic village (the main population center along the shore), the Flanders / East Lyme Center civic core, plus shoreline residential at Black Point, Crescent Beach, Giants Neck, and the Rocky Neck State Park area. Population ~18,800. Most of our work is shore + village kitchen renos, estate cleanouts, and contractor work at older Niantic housing stock. Over 16,000 dumpster drops and junk-removal jobs since 2014, across Fairfield, New Haven, Hartford, Litchfield, Middlesex, and lower New London counties. This page is what I tell East Lyme homeowners and contractors when they call.
How much does a dumpster rental cost in East Lyme?
Roll-off dumpster rentals in East Lyme use up-front pricing. The price doesn't change between Niantic village and Rocky Neck State Park area — size sets the rate, not the address. The base rate covers delivery, pickup, dumping at a licensed transfer station, and a 7-day rental window. We don't surcharge for "longer driveways" or "harder access," and the East Lyme dispatch from our West Haven yard is built into the base rate, not added on top.
Four sizes cover almost every East Lyme project. The 10-yard runs $447, right for small bath remodels or concrete-and-dirt loads. The 15-yard runs $547, the sweet spot for single-room renovations and full garage cleanouts. The 20-yard runs $647, the most-common pick for whole-house decluttering, single-layer roof tear-offs, and contractor work. The 30/40-yard runs $899 — delivered as two 20-yard cans (same-day or swapped) for full additions, multi-room renovations, and commercial buildouts. Full pricing reference at How Pricing Works.
What size dumpster do I need for East Lyme projects?
Single-bath remodel: 10-yard at $447. Standard East Lyme bath gut.
Kitchen reno or single-room remodel: 15-yard at $547. Most-common East Lyme rental.
Whole-house decluttering, estate cleanout: 20-yard at $647. Mid-size renovation work + estate cleanouts at older Niantic + shore properties fit cleanly.
Major contractor work, large additions: 30/40-yard at $899. Two 20-yard cans, same-day or swapped.
Where can I put a dumpster in East Lyme?
Niantic village + Main Street has older mid-size residential with tighter blocks in the village center. Black Point, Crescent Beach, Giants Neck are beach-community neighborhoods with tighter shore parcels — we frequently recommend the 10-yard or 15-yard for shore placement.
Flanders / East Lyme Center, Pine Grove have suburban-standard residential.
State route placement along US-1 (Boston Post Road), I-95 service roads, or Route 156 needs a CT DOT Encroachment Permit.
For lawn placement, we put planks under the wheels. Minor turf compression is normal. We don't recommend lawn drops if it's been raining — soft ground doesn't hold a loaded box. Snap a photo of the driveway entrance from the street and text it to (203) 219-8855 if you're not sure about clearance or approach.
How fast can you deliver a dumpster in East Lyme?
East Lyme is about a 45-minute run from our West Haven yard via I-95 east, exit 74 — closer-band East CT shoreline dispatch. We run East Lyme jobs next-day default. Same-day is sometimes possible if you call before 9 AM and our morning I-95 east dispatch has capacity. East CT shoreline is genuinely further than the New Haven County interior we cover same-day reliably, but we still want to honestly offer same-day when our route works it. Delivery and pickup windows fall between 8 AM and 4 PM. Call (203) 219-8855 — live Mon–Fri 8 AM – 4 PM, AI assistant covers after-hours and weekends.
What about the East Lyme Transfer Station?
East Lyme's transfer station is at 93 Roxbury Road, open Monday–Friday 7 AM–3 PM and Saturday 8 AM–noon per eltownhall.com. Residential use only; contractors working for East Lyme residents are limited on materials and quantities. East Lyme is an SCRRRA (Southeastern CT Regional Resource Recovery Authority) member town for regional waste planning.
For East Lyme residents weighing self-haul against a Grizzly roll-off, the math runs roughly the same as in any New London County town: a self-haul is your time, your truck, and the per-load fees the town sets at the gate. A 10-yard at $447 base delivered to your East Lyme driveway, picked up, and dumped covers everything in one shot. The roll-off wins fast for anything over a couple of pickup-truck loads.
The transfer station does not accept hazardous waste — paint, solvents, oil, pesticides, lithium batteries. Those go through CT DEEP collection days.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in East Lyme, CT?
Private property — your driveway, your land: no permit required. Standard residential East Lyme case. Public street, sidewalk, or town right-of-way: coordinate with East Lyme Public Works per eltownhall.com (Sanitation Division handles the transfer station). State route placement along US-1, I-95 service roads, or Route 156 needs a CT DOT Encroachment Permit instead.

What customers in East Lyme are saying
Y “Spectacular service, even during Covid! First, a human answered their phone immediately and was clear and courteous. How rare these days! I got an appointment for next day! As promised, received a call that crew was on its way. My mother gave me last minute permission to move a fridge, not part of original request. So I had to tell the poor guys upon arrival that there was a surprise fridge move, two in fact, one removed, one moved within house. Crew didn't flinch. Then one fridge move required its doors AND house door to come off, which they achieved with impressive skill. I'm a manager in my work life and can say their professionalism was superb. Also, important for environment, the company claims to recycle materials. A+ on every level.”
Y “Amazing experience! I would definitely hire them again! Every interaction with this company, from setting up the appointment with Justin, and then having to move it up, because my long distance home movers moved up their delivery day at the last minute, and to the appointment itself, has been a wonderful, and positive experience. When we had to change my delivery window at the last minute, Justin was incredibly helpful and accommodating. And the amazing movers, Eric and Mike, "Big Mike", were so wonderful, professional, helpful, kind, and did excellent work.”
Y “It's spring cleaning time! Who am I going to call? the same great company I called 3 times before...grizzly junk pros! I have found these guys to be experts in moving large bulky items. They are hard workers, honest, fair and extremely efficient. I won't take a chance on any other company because I know what to expect from this one. They've done my cellar, things inside the house and now will call them for cleaning out the attic. The areas I've called them for aren't easy to maneuver in...amazing how they adapt to the job at hand.”
