Do I Need A Roll Off Dumpster Permit?

Most people who need to rent a dumpster don't realize that they may need a permit. While in most cases you won't need a permit from us to rent it, you may need a permit if the dumpster is placed on the road, alley, or sidewalk. If you do need a permit there is a daily fee and the amount depends on the city that you are in.

A dumpster that sits comfortably on your own lawn will not need a permit. So long as the roll off rental company has easy access to where the dumpster is going to be placed, and as long as it is on private property, you most probably won't have to get a permit. Make sure to confirm with your local codes, first.

Keep in mind our dumpsters are only 11 feet long so we can often fit in places that other dumpster companies can't.

Most cities in Minnesota require permits if the dumpster is placed on a public right of way such as a road, alley, or sidewalk. As long as the dumpster is placed completely on your property, a permit is probably not needed.

Its your responsibility to check with your city. If you are in a homeowners association, you should check with them as well. If you are renting, don't forget to ask your landlord.
