Summer in Boston means one thing: community events are in full swing. From food festivals and farmer’s markets to outdoor concerts, fairs, and neighborhood block parties, these gatherings bring people together — and generate a lot of waste.
If you’re organizing a community event this season, managing trash and sanitation should be high on your priority list. And that’s exactly where event dumpster rental in Boston can make all the difference.
Here’s everything you need to know about renting redbox+ dumpsters (and portable restrooms) for your next community event.
Why Events in Boston Need redbox+ Dumpsters Roll-Off Dumpsters
Large crowds = lots of garbage. Whether it’s food wrappers, drink containers, decorations, or broken-down booths and signage, community events create more waste than your standard trash bins can handle.
A roll-off dumpster gives you:
- Centralized waste disposal to keep your event clean
- Improved safety by reducing trip hazards
- Faster cleanup at the end of the day
- Peace of mind for both organizers and attendees
Don’t Forget the Bathrooms: Combo Dumpster + Portable Restroom
One of the most convenient solutions for events is redbox+ Dumpsters’s patented 2-in-1 dumpster and portable toilet combo.
Here’s why event planners in Boston love it:
- Space-saving design — perfect for tight event layouts
- One delivery, one pickup — simplifies logistics
- Keeps vendors and workers happy with easy access to restrooms
- Professional image — cleaner, more organized than porta-potties scattered around
This combo is ideal for:
- Food truck festivals
- Local fairs
- Outdoor concert
- Neighborhood block parties
- Sporting tournaments
- Pop-up markets
What Size Dumpster Do You Need?
Not sure what size dumpster you’ll need for your event? Here’s a quick guide:
- 20-yard dumpster: Great for small block parties or one-day events
- 30-yard dumpster: Ideal for mid-sized festivals or markets
- 40-yard dumpster: Best for multi-day events with large crowds
If your event will span several days or have food vendors, go a size up — it’s always better to have extra room than run out halfway through.
Permits, Placement & Prep
Before placing a dumpster at a public event location, make sure to check:
- Local permit requirements — Some cities may require a permit for placing dumpsters on public property (streets, parks, etc.)
- Space and access — Ensure there’s enough room for delivery and pickup
- Flat, stable surface — Dumpsters need to be placed on solid, level ground
The redbox+ Dumpster of Boston South Shore team in Boston can help guide you through the permit process if needed and coordinate delivery times around your event schedule.
Post-Event Clean-Up Made Simple
Once the event wraps up, the real work begins: clean-up. With a dumpster on-site, you and your volunteers can toss everything in quickly and efficiently — no need to pile up dozens of bags or worry about missing the next morning’s trash pickup.
