Dumpster permit questions

Do I need a permit for a dumpster?

It depends on your town and on where the dumpster sits. Most communities in the table need no permit when the dumpster is on your driveway, and many don't allow one in the street at all. Find your town in the table above, or call us at (513) 600-2637 and we'll tell you what we know.

Do I need a permit for a dumpster in my driveway?

In most of the communities we've confirmed, no. Some are different: Anderson Township, Covington, Dayton (KY), Erlanger, Fort Thomas, Franklin, Reading, Park Hills, Sharonville, Newtown, Huber Heights, Trotwood, Clayton, Jefferson Township and Sugarcreek Township need a city, village or township permit even on private property. Check your row in the table.

Who gets the street permit, you or me?

We pull the street permit ourselves in the City of Cincinnati, the City of South Lebanon, on Montgomery County roads, in Franklin Township (Clermont County) and in the City of Greendale, Indiana. Everywhere else, the customer (usually the property owner) applies to the town. The table shows who applies and the phone number to call.

Can the dumpster go in the street?

Only where your town allows it. Many communities in our area don't allow street placement for homeowners. Where it's allowed, it usually needs a permit, and some towns also ask for cones, reflectors or boards under the wheels.

My town isn't listed. What should I do?

Call us at (513) 600-2637. We add communities as their rules are confirmed, by the town itself or on its official website. If your town isn't here yet, we haven't confirmed it, and we'll help you check.
