Where can the dumpster be placed?
Most customers use a driveway or another firm, level surface on their property. Describe the surface, access, and any overhead wires or branches in your quote request so placement can be confirmed before delivery.
Do I need a permit?
It depends on your municipality and where the dumpster will sit. Placement on your own property often doesn't require one; street or sidewalk placement may. Confirm with your town. Placement and permits guide.
