Quick facts
Yarmouth is south-west Nova Scotia's service hub, and two genuinely local operators run its roll-off market with bins from 5-yard minis up to 30-yard containers, covering the town and the county shore communities. Neither publishes a rate card — this is a quote-by-phone market, with the county's low disposal rates (construction debris at $135 a tonne, brick and concrete at just $30) shaping what you'll pay. Demand tracks the town's rhythm as the terminus of the seasonal Cat ferry to Maine: the summer tourism surge — tens of thousands of ferry passengers each season — keeps hospitality and rental properties turning over, on top of the year-round renovation trade in the town's older housing stock.
A bin on your own driveway needs no permit. For a temporary obstruction of a Town street or sidewalk, Yarmouth's Streets & Sidewalks By-law provides a Street Disturbance Permit from the Town Engineer — $50 for an obstruction of a month or less that doesn't damage the street surface — though the by-law never names bins specifically, so confirm with the Town (902-742-2521) before booking street placement. For self-haul, the Yarmouth County Solid Waste Park on Hardscratch Road pairs a transfer station (residential waste free for local residents when separated; commercial at posted per-tonne rates) with a construction-and-demolition site taking C&D material at $135 a tonne, clean wood and shingles at $60, and brick, concrete and metal at $30.

Rent a 14 Yard dumpsterThe most commonly rented size in Canada — a workhorse for larger renovations, re-roofing, deck teardowns and general construction debris.
14 × 8 × 5 ft · ≈ 6 pickup-truck loads
Rent a 20 Yard dumpsterA dumpster placed entirely on your own property, such as a driveway, needs no permit. For a temporary obstruction of a Town street or sidewalk, Yarmouth's Streets & Sidewalks By-law (2018) provides a Street Disturbance Permit from the Town Engineer — $50, non-refundable, for an obstruction of one month or less with no damage to the street surface ($100 plus a $1,000 deposit where excavation is involved). The by-law never names bins specifically, so confirm applicability at 902-742-2521 before delivery. Your operator can usually advise on placement.
Questions
Both local operators quote by phone — no rate cards are published in this market. Sizes run from 5-yard minis through 8, 10, 12, 16 and 20 yards up to 30-yard roll-offs, with your cost driven by size, weight and the county's disposal rates ($135 a tonne for mixed construction debris, far less for concrete or metal).

Not if it stays on your own driveway or property. For a temporary obstruction of a street or sidewalk, the Town's Street Disturbance Permit applies — $50 for up to a month without street damage — issued by the Town Engineer. The by-law doesn't name bins specifically, so confirm with the Town at 902-742-2521 before booking street placement.
The Yarmouth County Solid Waste Park on Hardscratch Road handles both: the transfer station takes separated residential waste free for Town, Yarmouth and Argyle municipality residents (capped at 200 kg a week), and the C&D site next door takes construction material at $135 a tonne, clean wood and shingles at $60, and brick, concrete, asphalt and metal at $30. For a renovation or estate cleanout, a rented bin is usually simpler than repeated weighed trips.
