Cross the river from Fall River and everything loosens up. Somerset is a suburban town with real driveways, garages and side yards, which after a week of city work feels almost easy. We cover the whole town, from the riverfront streets to the subdivisions off Route 138.

Mostly single-family and mostly comfortable. Post-war capes, ranches and colonials on quarter-acre and half-acre lots make up the bulk of the housing, with older houses closer to Somerset Village and the river and newer construction spread through the north of town. Off-street parking is the norm, so containers usually go on a paved driveway rather than the street. The Brayton Point site and the commercial strip along Route 138 keep a steady flow of contractor and industrial work moving alongside the residential jobs.
Standard suburban remodeling is the backbone here: kitchens, baths, finished basements and garage conversions, plus roofing and siding on housing that is now sixty or seventy years old. Basement and attic cleanouts turn up a generation of accumulation. Down by the water there is commercial and industrial work, which means concrete, metal and mixed construction debris that has to be separated. Deck and pool removals are a summer regular.

I-195 west out of New Bedford, over the Braga Bridge and off at the Somerset exits is the standard line, about half an hour. Route 138 runs north through the middle of town and takes us to most of the residential streets. Riverside and village jobs come off County Street. Traffic across the bridge in the evening rush is the only reliable delay, so we schedule Somerset in the morning.
Services
Every container service we run is available in Somerset at the same flat rate as New Bedford itself — roughly 20 miles west of the yard, across the Taunton River from Fall River makes no difference to the price.

Almost always. A 20 yard needs roughly 22 feet of length plus room for the truck to set it, and most driveways here handle that with a car still parked. The tighter constraint is usually overhead wires or a low garage roofline at the top of the drive, since we need clearance to tip the box off. Measure from the street back and we will confirm.
Yes, and a fair amount of it out this way. That includes multi-container jobs, scheduled swaps and separated loads for concrete, metal and clean wood, which the state requires to be kept out of mixed disposal anyway. If you are running a project with a real timeline we will set a swap cadence up front so the site is never waiting on an empty box.
Usually, though the older streets near the water are narrower than the rest of town and some driveways drop away sharply toward the river. We need level ground to set a container and enough straight run to slide it off. Where the grade is against us we place at the top of the drive. A quick look at the property beforehand saves everyone a wasted trip.
To a point. General mixed debris is fine in one box, but Massachusetts keeps several materials out of disposal entirely: concrete and brick, metal, clean gypsum, untreated wood, yard waste, tires, and mattresses and textiles since 2022. If your job produces a lot of any of those, they go separately. Tell us what the pile looks like and we will sort the plan out before delivery.
