In an October 2025 Google review, a customer who had just moved called Bolster's Rubbish Removal to request an additional empty, expecting to pay a fee, and said the company did it for free and sent someone the same day; when the dumpster later missed its first scheduled empty at the new address, it was emptied within two hours of their Monday call. Bolster's, at 7 S Main St in Burnham, Maine, describes itself on its website as a local family owned and operated business established in 1975, offering trash removal services, with a stated service area that includes Bangor, Belfast and Burnham. It holds 4.3 stars from 46 Google ratings and an A+ from the BBB. In a June 2026 review, a customer called the company's prices very reasonable and its people friendly and accommodating. A June 2025 customer who rented a dumpster for a home renovation project said it was delivered on time, placed exactly where they asked and picked up when scheduled, with clear pricing and no surprise fees. In an April 2023 review, a customer said the dumpster was dropped off hours after ordering and the driver called ahead so it could be placed where they wanted. In an October 2024 review, the reviewer said Bolster's had picked up their trash since 2006, first while the reviewer's husband was deployed. In a January 2026 one-star review, a customer said a Bolster's trash truck wrecked the gang mailboxes they had rebuilt the previous summer, and that a call to the office about it got only laughs and blame for the cans' placement. A December 2024 reviewer in Pittsfield said the company missed their stop every week, that their husband had to call almost weekly, and that their trash sat by the road for two to three days. In a September 2024 review, a customer said they had been charged $125 in the past month without a single pickup. In an April 2023 review, a customer said the truck got stuck picking up their dumpster and left 1 1/2-foot ruts, and that Matt Bolster was rude and said the company does not fix that.
This company literally took a big load off my mind and and they brought my stress level Way Down! Phew! Very professional and I highly recommend them to everyone from homeowners to commercial needs and all needs in-between. Their prices are very reasonable and they are friendly and accommodating!
We have a set of gang mailboxes that I spent 4 hours building last summer because the bus service backed into the previous setup I had. This week Bolster's trash truck again decided that they would try their luck at the wrecking ball. Bingo! They wrecked them again! A call to Bolster's office to complain about it garnered only laughs! They blamed me for not placing the trash cans out further from the mail boxes which this week was true as we had forgotten. So instead of just leaving the trash until next week the driver took out the mail boxes and made sure to get the trash for us. Where did common sense go and Where did customer service go??
Good Company and they have good people working for them. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing their service. I enjoyed working with his crew. So I know from personal experience how hard his people work.
