Every kind of container work we do around Pittsfield
Most of what follows is the same truck, the same five container sizes and the same flat rate. What genuinely differs between a re-roofing tear-off and an estate cleanout is the sizing logic — one is limited by weight before it is a third full, the other runs out of room while barely registering on the scale — and the rules about what has to be kept out of the load. Those two things are what these pages are really about.
If you already know what you need, call (413) 553-1676 and skip the reading. If you are not sure whether your job is a junk removal or a full estate cleanout, or whether a demolition load needs its own container, the pages below say so plainly. Our FAQ page answers the questions we field most often, and the sizing guide works through the maths.

How it works
From phone call to empty driveway
- 1
Call and tell us the job
One short conversation. We ask what you are clearing, where the box needs to sit and when you need it, and how much room the driveway or lot gives us. No forms, no waiting on an email.
- 2
We size it and quote it flat
You get one number covering delivery, the rental period, pickup, disposal and a stated tonnage allowance. If a smaller box does the job we will say so.
- 3
Delivered where you want it
The driver walks the spot with you and sets the container square on the driveway, lot or jobsite. If the surface needs protection we will say so before we set it down.
- 4
Load at your own pace
Keep it level with the top rail and keep the banned items out. Need a swap mid-job or an early pickup? One call and we are on it.
- 5
We haul it and sort it right
Clean metal, concrete and yard debris get routed for recovery rather than landfilled where we can. You get your driveway or lot back the way you left it.
Why us
Why Pittsfield-area contractors and homeowners call us back
You reach the yard, not a call center
The phone rings at our yard on 260 Columbus Ave, a short run from downtown Pittsfield. Whoever picks up knows the difference between a tight Pittsfield side street and a wide-open lot out toward Dalton.
One flat price, said out loud
Delivery, the rental period, pickup, fuel, disposal and a stated tonnage allowance in a single number. If your load looks like it will go over, we say so before the truck leaves the yard.
Same-day in Pittsfield, honest timing farther out
Call early and most orders in Pittsfield go out the same day. Dalton, Lenox and the closer towns are usually same- or next-day; farther towns like Stockbridge are more often next-day — honestly, and in advance.
Driveway aware
Boards go under the rails on every driveway as standard, and the driver will tell you before delivery if a narrow street, a shared driveway, or a busy commercial site needs a different approach.
The right box, not the biggest
Weight fills a container long before volume does. If a 10 yard is the honest answer for your concrete load, that is what we will quote you.
Ready for a real Berkshires winter
Pittsfield sits in a real New England snow belt — about 73 inches a year on average, with nor'easters and heavy wet snow that bring down limbs. We size jobs for both storm-debris cleanup after a bad storm and the spring cleanout that follows once the snow clears.

Answers
Questions about our services
What services does Pateman & Sons Dumpster Rentals Pittsfield actually provide?
Roll-off container rental, first and foremost — twelve service lines covering residential, commercial, construction, roofing, junk removal, estate cleanouts, demolition debris, concrete and heavy debris, yard waste, same-day work and storm debris cleanup after a Berkshires nor'easter or heavy winter storm. Every one of them uses the same five container sizes and the same flat-rate pricing; what changes is how we size the load and what we tell you to keep out of it.
Do you charge differently for different services?
The container and the disposal are what cost money, not the label on the job. A 20 yard for a roof tear-off and a 20 yard for a house cleanout are priced the same way — base rate, rental period, and a stated tonnage allowance. Heavy material such as concrete is the exception, because it is priced by weight with an agreed fill level rather than by volume.
Can one container handle mixed debris?
Usually yes. General construction and household debris can go in together. What should stay out is hazardous waste of any kind and anything on Massachusetts's statewide waste-ban list, and it helps everyone — sorting and disposal costs less — when clean concrete, scrap metal and yard debris are kept separate on site rather than mixed into a general load.
Do you handle commercial accounts with recurring service?
We do. Retail, restaurant, office and property-management accounts run scheduled swap-outs with us, which matters given how much building and renovation is happening across the Berkshires. We will build the schedule around your project rather than force a flat annual contract on you.
What will you not take?
Hazardous waste of any kind, paint and solvents, fuel and oil, propane tanks, asbestos, refrigerant appliances, ammunition and medical waste. Mattresses, textiles, tires, batteries and electronics need separate handling under Massachusetts's own statewide waste-ban rules. Every service page lists the specifics, and our guide to what can and cannot go in a dumpster covers where each of these actually has to go instead.
Service area
All twelve services, across the Berkshires
We run roll-off containers out of our Columbus Ave yard to all eleven communities we cover — Pittsfield itself, plus the real Berkshire County towns of Lanesborough, Dalton, Washington, Lenox, Richmond, Hancock, Hinsdale, Cheshire, Adams and Stockbridge, each its own full town with its own elected Select Board. Pittsfield and the closer towns are usually same-day; farther towns are typically same- or next-day. If your address is not listed, call anyway. We likely still get there.
