Dumpster Rental: Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need a Permit for a Roll-Off Dumpster?

If you’re placing the dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or job site, a permit is generally not required. However, if you need to place the dumpster on a public street, you may need a permit from your local municipality, especially if it could block sidewalks or disrupt traffic flow. Permit requirements vary by location, so be sure to check with your city or county. Our team can help guide you through the permit process when you rent a dumpster.

What Is the Best Way to Load My Dumpster Rental?

Start by opening the loading door and placing large, heavy items inside first. This helps maximize space and ensures efficient use of the container. After that, you can throw smaller, lighter items over the sides. To avoid extra charges, ensure that all materials are level with or below the fill line before scheduling a pickup. Nothing should stick out over the top or hang off the sides. For additional loading tips, feel free to reach out to our team.

Due to safety and environmental regulations, certain items are prohibited from being disposed of in a dumpster. These typically include hazardous materials such as chemicals, paint, batteries, tires, and electronics.
