Do I need a city permit to place a dumpster?

Whether you need a permit to place a dumpster depends on your local regulations and the location where you plan to put the dumpster. Generally, a permit is typically not required if you intend to place the dumpster on private property, such as your driveway. However, if you plan to place the dumpster on a public street, you may need a street permit from your local city or county office.

If you live in a community governed by a Homeowners Association (H.O.A.), checking their rules and regulations before renting and placing a dumpster is always a good idea. Some H.O.A.s may have specific guidelines or restrictions regarding dumpster placement.

Please note that a relocation fee may be charged if American On-Site or any other dumpster rental company needs to return to relocate the dumpster due to permit issues or H.O.A. rules.
