If you’re renting a dumpster for a project, one question that often gets overlooked is whether you need a permit.
The answer depends on where the dumpster rental will be placed.
Each city and county has different rules, so it’s important to check with your local municipality before scheduling delivery of your dumpster rental.
When You DON’T Need a Permit
In most cases, you do not need a permit if the dumpster is placed on private property. This includes:
- Driveways
- Construction sites
- Private land
As long as the dumpster is not blocking public access, you’re typically good to go.
When You DO Need a Permit
You may need a permit if the dumpster rental is placed in a public area such as:
- Streets
- Sidewalks
- Alleys
- Public right-of-way
Each city and county has different rules, so it’s important to check with your local municipality before scheduling delivery.
Who Is Responsible for the Permit?
In most cases, the customer is responsible for obtaining any required permits.
At Direct Site Services, we always recommend confirming this ahead of time to avoid fines or delays.
