Roll-off dumpsters for Wellington barns, paddocks and farms: fence boards, stall mats, hay, sheds and tack-room clutter, kept apart from manure, which the village regulates separately.

Six boxes, about thirty seconds. You pick when to be called back, and that is when the phone rings.
Or call (728) 226-7144Wellington is known as the winter equestrian capital of the world, and the barns that earn it that name produce a kind of debris most dumpster pages never mention. Broken board fencing and posts, worn rubber stall mats, moldy or wet hay, a collapsed run-in shed, rotted jump standards, old feed bins, torn blankets and the general wreckage of a tack room after a hard season. That is bulky debris and construction debris, and it belongs in a roll-off. Manure and soiled bedding are something else, with their own rules.
The Solid Waste Authority treats livestock waste, meaning excrement plus the bedding and feed mixed into it, as its own category. Its October 2026 schedule charges $35 a ton for livestock waste delivered to Renewable Energy Facility No. 2 on Jog Road, and only there. Fence boards and stall mats in a roll-off are charged as construction debris at $95 a ton. A load that mixes the two is charged at the higher rate, and a transfer station will not take animal waste at all. Keeping them apart is what keeps the bill honest.
Wellington's Land Development Code, Section 30-153, sets minimum standards for storing and hauling livestock waste. Each livestock facility needs an approved storage area. When a roll-off or dumpster holds manure, it must sit on a concrete or asphalt pad with a lip around it, at least 5 feet from any roof overhang, 50 feet from any public drainage conveyance or inlet, 100 feet from any water body and 150 feet from a potable well. The village also requires manure haulers to register and to keep auditable records of where loads come from and where they are dumped. A general debris container dropped on the grass beside the barn is not a manure bin, and it should not be used as one.
The Winter Equestrian Festival runs from January into April, and the barns along South Shore Boulevard and Pierson Road fill up for it. The sensible window for a teardown, a fence replacement or a full barn clear-out is before the horses arrive or after they ship out, when a truck can come down the farm road without spooking anyone and a container can sit by the barn without blocking a trailer. Summer is the rainy season, so a container with hay or shavings in it should be hauled before it soaks through and gets much heavier.
Farms have room but not always firm ground. A loaded roll-off on soft turf after a summer storm sinks, and the truck that comes to lift it can rut a paddock. A shellrock drive, a concrete wash-rack apron or boards under the rails solve that. Keep the container clear of the septic field, the well, overhead lines and the route horses walk to turnout. Canal banks are village right-of-way, and Wellington treats debris left on them as illegal dumping, so nothing staged for the container should sit there either.
Rubber stall mats are dense, and a barn's worth of them can outweigh the rest of the cleanout. Wet hay and shavings weigh more than dry. Concrete from a demolished wash stall or old footings is heavier still and often belongs in its own small container. Chain-link and wire fencing are fine in a roll-off but cannot go through the county's transfer stations, so those loads go to the landfill on Jog Road. Old fuel cans, fly spray, dewormer and veterinary supplies stay out of the container entirely.
Many Wellington barns are leased by the season, and the person ordering the container is not always the person who owns the land. Settle who is responsible for what before delivery: who approves the spot, who pays for overage if someone else's debris ends up in the can, and who is present when the truck arrives. A container that turns into the farm's free-for-all for a week is the one that comes back over weight.
The container, the rental days, the included tons and the per-ton rate over that set the price, along with the effort of separating what should not be mixed. The pricing page shows published roll-off ranges for Palm Beach County and the Solid Waste Authority rates for construction debris and livestock waste side by side.

Call (728) 226-7144Wellington's construction and demolition debris page limits curbside collection of that debris to 2 cubic yards a week, requires loose drywall and floor tile to be containerized in units weighing under 50 pounds, and does not collect concrete, rock, fencing or shipping pallets. Residents with a construction or demolition project, or who expect a large amount of refuse, are told to rent a roll-off container from a hauler permitted in Wellington. The village's bulk collection page separately allows up to 4 cubic yards of minor home-repair debris and excess garbage on bulk day.
Why it matters: A remodel, a roof or an estate cleanout outgrows the curb in a day. Whether the hauler is permitted to work inside the village is the first thing to confirm, before size or price, because a container from anyone else invites a call from code compliance or the HOA.

The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County tipping fee schedule effective October 1, 2026 charges $95 per ton for construction debris and large vegetation, $42 for garbage and trash, $35 for yard vegetation and $35 for livestock waste, and states that dump trucks and open-top roll-off containers are generally charged the construction debris rate. Mixed loads are charged the higher category. The transfer stations, including Royal Palm Beach at 9743 Weisman Way, cannot accept concrete, block, tile, roofing material, construction lumber, fencing or dirt.
Why it matters: Every overage on a Wellington dumpster bill traces back to that scale. Heavy remodel debris and mixed loads cost the most, and a load of tile or roofing has to ride to the North County landfill complex on Jog Road rather than the nearest transfer station.
Wellington Land Development Code Section 30-153 sets minimum standards for storing and hauling livestock waste. Each livestock facility needs an approved storage area, and roll-off or dumpster containers holding manure must sit on a concrete or asphalt pad with a lip around it, at least 5 feet from any roof overhang, 50 feet from a public drainage conveyance or inlet, 100 feet from any water body and 150 feet from a potable well. Rules adopted by the Village Council in 2013 also require manure haulers to register with the village and keep records that Wellington staff can audit.
Why it matters: A barn cleanout is two jobs. Fencing, mats and shed debris belong in a roll-off; manure and soiled bedding belong in a compliant bin and with a registered hauler, delivered to the one county facility that takes livestock waste.

After Hurricane Irma, Wellington crews and contractors gathered and hauled away 168,602 cubic yards of vegetative debris between September 18 and October 17, 2017, and FEMA later agreed to reimburse the village $1,892,200 for collection, reduction and disposal. About half the village lives in gated communities, FEMA requires each association's approval before debris crews can enter, and delays in those approvals slowed the Irma cleanup.
Why it matters: Public storm cleanup clears roads first and reaches gated streets later, in several passes over weeks. A roll-off set in the yard takes the wet drywall, carpet and broken screen enclosures that a curb pile was never meant to hold.
