Do you need a permit for the dumpster you’re renting? The answer depends on where you plan to place your container. A residential driveway, which is the most common location, usually doesn’t require a permit.
But what happens when your driveway isn’t an option? If you plan to place your dumpster in a public area, you will most likely need a permit. Keep in mind that dumpster permit regulations vary from city to city. Some communities require a permit if the dumpster will be visible to passersby, while others only enforce permits if the container will be on public property. To help keep your project on track, we gathered some basic information about dumpster permits in case you need one for your rental.
The answer is yes - in most cases. For many construction or renovation projects, placing a dumpster in a residential driveway isn’t an option. A permit allows you to place your container on the street or in another public space.
