How do I get a permit?

Contact your local municipal or public-works office. Some providers assist with permits — confirm with your assigned provider.

What about HOA rules?

Homeowners associations may have their own placement and duration rules. Check your HOA guidelines in addition to municipal requirements.

Permit requirements vary by municipality and placement location. Here's what to expect — and where to confirm the rules that apply to you.

When a permit is usually needed

Street placement (the dumpster sits on a public road)
Placement that blocks a sidewalk or right-of-way
Extended-duration placements in some municipalities

When a permit is usually not needed

Driveway placement on private property
Short-term placements with no public-right-of-way impact

Where to confirm

Rules differ by city, county and province. Contact your local municipal office or public-works department for the requirements that apply to your address. Your assigned provider may also advise on local rules.

Accepted vs. prohibited materials

Accepted materials vary by provider and location. General household and construction debris are commonly accepted. Hazardous materials, paint, tires, batteries, fuels and certain electronics are typically prohibited. Confirm accepted materials with your provider.
