In most areas, you don't need a permit to have a dumpster rental placed on your driveway or other personal property.
\r\n\r\nThere are plenty of instances, however, that require you to first get a dumpster permit from your local municipality.
\r\n\r\nMore often than not, you can rely on the company you rent a dumpster from to get a dumpster rental permit for you.
\r\n\r\nThat being said, there are some areas in the U.S. where the homeowner or business owner is responsible for getting the dumpster rental permit themselves.
\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself in this situation and are wondering how to get a dumpster rental permit, this article is for you.
\r\n\r\nWe'll look into:
\r\n\r\n![\"how](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/dumpster-permit-info_0.jpg\")
\r\nYou will more than likely need a permit if you plan on having your dumpster rental placed in a public street or blocking any public right-of-way, like a sidewalk.
\r\n\r\nAreas that require a dumpster permit:
\r\n\r\nA licensed and reputable dumpster rental company should have no problem obtaining a dumpster rental permit on your behalf if required.
\r\n\r\nMost cities do not require a dumpster permit when the dumpster is placed on private property and is not blocking the public right of way.
\r\n\r\nAreas that typically do not require a dumpster permit:
\r\n\r\nWhile the general rules stated above are typical in most US cities, some local governments may require permits in varying circumstances.
\r\n\r\nIt’s important to check with your local government public works department, or the department in charge of permitting, to find specific laws for your location. When applicable, don't forget to check with your HOA to make sure you don't get hit with unexpected fines for not following protocol.

\r\nDumpster permit applications are generally short and normally take less than 20 minutes to complete.
\r\n\r\nIn some cities, like Denver, Colorado, the dumpster rental company must fill out and obtain the permit, not the renter. In other cities, the homeowner, business owner, or contractor may be responsible for obtaining it.
\r\n\r\nCheck with your dumpster rental provider to determine the requirement in your city.
\r\n\r\nStep 1
\r\n\r\nContact several dumpster rental providers near you and discuss your project needs in detail for accurate rental quotes.
\r\n\r\nWe recommend calling around to at least 3 different dumpster rental companies to make sure that you're getting the best price for your rental.
\r\n\r\nIf it’s determined that a dumpster permit is necessary, make arrangements with the dumpster rental company you hire to obtain it.
\r\n\r\nStep 2
\r\n\r\nIf the dumpster provider agrees (or is required) to get the dumpster permit on your behalf, your job is done!
\r\n\r\nIf you are the one obtaining the permit, move to the next step.
\r\n\r\nStep 3
\r\n\r\nContact your local public works or transportation department by telephone or online.
\r\n\r\nIf you're not sure which city department handles permitting, contact the main office line and they will point you in the right direction.
\r\n\r\nA quick Google search will help you find your local public works department contacts quickly and accurately.
\r\n\r\nStep 4
\r\n\r\nFill out the application required by your city and pay the fee if applicable. The application is oftentimes accessible online but the person you speak with at your public works department will be able to give you the most accurate information on how to get one.
\r\n\r\nOnce completed, you can mail, drop off, or submit the application online. Allow several days to a week for processing.
\r\n\r\nStep 5
\r\n\r\nOnce the permit is approved, be sure the city rules are followed to ensure compliance and avoid penalty fees.
\r\n\r\nCommon rules include placing traffic cones on both sides of the dumpster, reflective tape on the sides of the dumpster, making sure the permit is visible on the dumpster, etc.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nNot being aware of what you are putting in your dumpster, or how much, can result in overage fees that can quickly add up.
\r\n
Hometown understands how important it is to keep disposal costs low, so we've put together this quick guide of things to be aware of so that you don't overpay.
\r\n\r\n![\"Items](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/additional-dumpster-fees_0.png\")
\r\nWhile roll-off containers are great for heavy, bulky items, you'll have to make sure that they fall within your dumpster rental's weight allowance.
\r\n\r\nThe trucks that deliver and pick up dumpster rentals can only safely lift and maneuver so much weight, which is why there are weight limitations in place.
\r\n\r\nIt's rare for a dumpster rental to have a flat fee because the contents of the container that are dropped off at a landfill or recycling facility are priced by weight.
\r\n\r\nThe average charge for overage fees fall around $75-$100+ per ton over the weight limit, which can add up fast.
\r\n\r\nRenting a larger dumpster than you think you'll need is the best option when in doubt.
\r\n\r\nLearn more:
\r\n\r\nSimilar to adding too much weight to your dumpster rental, overfilling your container can also result in fines.
\r\n\r\nMost dumpsters have fill lines that indicate when you should stop adding items to the container.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you fill your dumpster beyond the specified fill line, you will be responsible for unloading the material on top until the container is filled appropriately.
\r\n
If you are unable or unwilling to do so yourself, the dumpster professional in charge of loading your rental onto their truck will have to do so and will certainly add an additional fee to your invoice as a result.
\r\n\r\nOr, they may refuse to pick up your rental until it meets their requirements, causing you to have your dumpster longer than intended and requiring a second trip for pick-up, resulting in additional fees.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDumpster rental companies dump their containers at local landfills and must comply with their rules and regulations in order to avoid getting fined themselves.
\r\n\r\nItems that are banned from landfills can create hazardous byproducts that leak into the surrounding soil and find its way into local bodies of water, which is why there are federal, state, and local guidelines to follow when dumping at a landfill.
\r\n\r\nThe most common types of household hazardous wastes that are banned in landfills include:
\r\n\r\nThrowing away items that are prohibited in your dumpster rental will result in additional fines and fees, so if you are unsure if your items are accepted or not, be sure to share these details with your dumpster rental provider.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you're renting a dumpster to dispose of recyclables, you'll likely be required to \"clean load\" your container.
\r\n\r\nClean loading a dumpster means to only load one specific type of debris into the dumpster, which allows the material to be recycled or reused somehow.
\r\n\r\nThis type of disposal actually often saves you money on your dumpster rental, but most importantly, it keeps valuable materials out of the landfill.
\r\n\r\nIf you rent a recycling dumpster but mix it with other junk and trash, you can expect to be charged additional fees.
\r\n\r\nHere are some examples of common types of construction and demolition debris that are often clean loaded:

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAs the saying goes, one man's trash is another man's treasure. You might be surprised to find out there is someone in your area who might be willing to pick up your furniture or appliance and give your used items new life.
\r\n
Hometown understands that being savvy and saving money is important, so we've put together several different strategies to getting rid of old furniture and appliances for free.
\r\n\r\n![\"Who](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/used-appliances-furniture-free.png\")
\r\nEnergy companies all over the country have adopted appliance recycling programs that can save you money, particularly for appliances that contain freon, like refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioning units.
\r\n\r\nThese free pickup and recycling services are becoming increasingly popular as more and more communities make larger efforts to preserve the environment through recycling and responsible disposal.
\r\n\r\nResponsibly disposing of old appliances, especially when it comes to getting rid of refrigerators and freezers, is very important because of the presence of freon which is a greenhouse gas that can pollute the environment and result in hefty fines if not handled properly.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf your local energy company offers a haul-away service for old appliances, they'll oftentimes make the deal even sweeter by not just offering the service for free, but they may actually pay in you in utility credits or a refund check for using this service.
\r\n
These services are often booked far in advance with wait times of weeks to sometimes months at a time.
\r\n\r\nIf you're in a pinch and need your appliance removed ASAP, this program may not be the solution to your problem.
\r\n\r\nLearn more:
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf there are resale stores, donation centers, or group homes in your area in need of lightly used furniture or appliances in working condition, they may send someone to your home to pick up your donation.
\r\n\r\nIt may require some patience to find a group home or donation center that has a need for your old appliances/furniture.
\r\n\r\nWhile some programs will come to your home to pick up your items for free, some require you to haul them to their location.
\r\n\r\nNot all donation centers will accept appliances or furniture either, so make sure to call ahead before hauling your heavy items across town.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"Old](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/appliance-4.png\")
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nListing your unwanted furniture and appliances as a free item for pickup on the internet, like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist, can be a great option if they are still in working condition or if there is someone local who will upcycle your furniture or scrap your appliances for parts.
\r\n
By creating a listing with a detailed description of your item and the condition it's in, as well as clear, well-lit photos, you may get lucky and find someone who will take it off your hands for you.
\r\n\r\nBe sure to specify in your listing that the interested party must come to your location to pick up your items.
\r\n\r\nIt's always important to be cautious when making the decision to give away your address to strangers online.
\r\n\r\nDo your due diligence by checking the interested party's public profile to see if there are any red flags and signs of a catfish or untrustworthy character.
\r\n\r\nArrange for pickup during the day and make sure you aren't the only person in the home when a stranger comes to pick up your free items.
\r\n\r\nIf you have the strength and equipment to safely move your appliance or furniture to the road or on your porch, contactless pickup is an even safer way to carry out this exchange.
\r\n\r\nIf you're able to place the items at the end of your driveway, you could avoid making an online listing by simply taping a piece of paper to the appliance or furniture with the word \"FREE\" written on it.
\r\n\r\nThis is especially helpful if you live in a high-traffic area so that the items at the end of your driveway get a lot of exposure to people passing by.

\r\nIf these aren't options for you, or if you tried to get rid of your item for free and you weren't successful, hiring a local junk removal company is a great alternative.
\r\n\r\nHiring a junk removal service to remove your appliance/furniture may not be free, but it's usually the fastest way to get the job done and requires the least amount of effort.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nJunk removal crews are experts at getting rid of heavy, bulky, or large amounts of trash and junk at once.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you or someone you love is living in a hoarder home, it can be very difficult to know where to begin to get help.
\r\n
Because hoarding is a relatively common disorder, there are plenty of resources and services available to help you correct this issue and improve the lives of those affected by hoarding.
\r\n\r\nThis guide will go over everything you need to know about hoarding cleanups so that you can be prepared and know what to expect when looking for help.
\r\n\r\nThe Mayo Clinic describes hoarding as, \"A persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions because of a perceived need to save them.\"
\r\n\r\nPeople that struggle with hoarding suffer from severe anxiety and distress. Often, the thought of getting rid of the items they are hoarding, regardless of whether or not these items have value or will ever be used again, can be overwhelming for them.
\r\n\r\nThis negative reaction at the thought or suggestion of getting rid of things can not only prevent them from doing so, but it can also make them very defensive, combative, and secretive when it comes to letting others inside their home.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt's not uncommon for hoarders to go undetected for years because they simply do not allow friends, family, or maintenance workers to enter their home.
\r\n
Many homes in hoarding condition are so overwhelmed with clutter that countertops, tables, floors, and wall space are no longer visible.
\r\n\r\nSome hoarding situations are so bad that those suffering struggle to part ways with their garbage, resulting in bio-hazardous waste piled up throughout their home.
\r\n\r\nScientists believe that there are many factors at play when it comes to determining the cause of someone's hoarding disorder.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBrain function, genetics, and traumatic life events are all common causes of hoarding disorder.
\r\n
People who have indecisive personalities are thought to be more susceptible to hoarding due to the inability to appropriately decide when to get rid of items that are no longer needed or considered trash.
\r\n\r\nGrowing up where you have a parent or guardian in the home who suffers from hoarding also greatly increases the likelihood that you could learn these harmful habits and implement them into your life as an adult.
\r\n\r\nStressful life events that aren't properly coped with, like the loss of a loved one, a divorce, bankruptcy, or losing material possessions in a fire are also cited as common causes of hoarding disorders.
\r\n\r\nIt's common that those who hoard also suffer from depression, anxiety, OCD, and/or ADHD.
\r\n\r\nCluttered spaces and old waste, including food waste, can post several health and safety risks.
\r\n\r\nCleaning out a hoarder home can leave you vulnerable to being exposed to them.
\r\n\r\nSome of the most common dangers of hoarding include:
\r\n\r\n![\"Therapist](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/help-1.png\")
\r\nThere are several things to keep in mind if you take it upon yourself to help out a loved one suffering with a hoarding disorder.
\r\n\r\nOne of the most important things you can do to help a hoarder is to educate yourself on the condition as much as possible.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nKeeping in mind that hoarding is in fact a disorder and not just laziness or negligence is crucial in being able to empathize with the person suffering.
\r\n
Being empathetic and focusing on helping the person struggling rather than putting all the focus on clearing out their junk is important in making the experience less traumatic and more effective.
\r\n\r\nPeople suffering with a hoarding disorder already feel isolated, misunderstood, anxious, and depressed, so being delicate, understanding, and caring toward their feelings will greatly increase the chances that they will be able to remain strong and push through their discomfort, allowing you and the help you've hired to successfully tackle their clean out.
\r\n\r\nIt's important to set reasonable expectations before you begin helping a hoarder and understand that typical timelines will most likely have setbacks.
\r\n\r\nPatience is a virtue, especially when dealing with a delicate situation like a hoarding cleanout.
\r\n\r\nEncourage your loved one to get professional mental health help.
\r\n\r\nWhile you can't force anyone to get professional help, you can do the research for them and provide them with options and resources for treatment and therapy when they're ready.
\r\n\r\nTypically, you only have two options when it comes to cleaning up a hoarder home:
\r\n\r\nCleaning up a hoarder home on your own is not advised due to all the health and safety hazards mentioned above.
\r\n\r\nIf you absolutely have to perform the hoarding cleanout on your own, wearing protective gear and renting a dumpster are two \"must haves\" for safely completing the job.
\r\n\r\nDressing yourself in protective gear head to toe will protect you from sharp corners and breathing in airborne particles.
\r\n\r\nRenting a dumpster is a convenient and necessary way to manage all the garbage and junk that you'll be sorting through and tossing out.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHiring a specialized cleanup crew is by far the most preferred method to hoarding remediation.
\r\n
These hoarding cleanup services are specialized junk removal service providers that are experts in safely and efficiently removing junk; they are experienced and trained to handle hoarding specifically.
\r\n\r\nHaving professionals that are trained to delicately handle these types of large cleanouts is critical in minimizing the amount of emotional distress that is caused.
\r\n\r\nAnother benefit to hiring a hoarding cleanup service is the way they're able to quickly and discreetly get the project done.
\r\n\r\nIt's common for feelings of embarrassment, guilt, and shame to consume those living in hoarder homes, so being discrete and respectful is not only important to the hoarder, but it should be a strategy of a qualified hoarding cleanup service.
\r\n\r\nSpecialized hoarding cleanup pros are great at being discrete to minimize any attention drawn to the hoarder's residence during their cleanup and can remove large quantities of unwanted items in a way that looks like an average home clean out.

\r\n\r\nIn comparison to other types of junk removal projects, hoarding cleanups have the widest range of varying factors that determine the cost, making it difficult to declare an \"average cost.\"
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThat being said, if we take a close look at national averages, most hoarding cleanups can average upwards of $1,000 per day.
\r\n
It's common for a hoarding cleanup service to charge somewhere between $0.75-$2.50 per square foot of living space overtaken with junk, garbage, and waste, plus an additional cost of $25-$60 per hour, per laborer.
\r\n\r\nThese averages are based on straightforward, typical hoarding cleanup projects, but often, these types of projects are not so straightforward.
\r\n\r\nThe presence of biohazards, toxins, etc., are reasons for an increase in price if discovered after the initial quote is given.
\r\n\r\nRead more:
\r\n\r\nBeing time-efficient is an important aspect of a successful hoarding cleanup.
\r\n\r\nWhen items are moved out slowly over time, a hoarder has more time and opportunity to contemplate each item and change their mind if they're experiencing emotional distress.
\r\n\r\nThat's why the best case scenario for a hoarding cleanup is to have the tools and manpower to complete the task within a day, but it's not uncommon for even the most skilled professionals to need a full week to get the job done when the circumstances are severe.
\r\n\r\nIn cases where the cleanup takes place over the course of several days, it's important to have professionals that are patient and sensitive to the needs of the hoarder if they will be on location throughout the process.
\r\n\r\nWhen you're ready to find a team of specialists to tackle your hoarding situation, the first step is to get in contact with several providers in your area to arrange on-site quotes.
\r\n\r\nSearching your zip code on Hometown makes locating local services quick and easy and allows you to fill out a single quote-request form with all your information to send to multiple providers in your area, cutting down the time you spend researching.
\r\n\r\nBecause hoarding cleanups are complicated, they can't be quoted over the phone or via email.
\r\n\r\nInstead, a crew of 1-2 workers will arrive to the home to do a walk through to determine how much labor will be needed and how large the disposal aspect of the project will be.
\r\n\r\nAfter you've gotten 2-3 quotes, choose the company that best suits your needs based on pricing, customer service, and availability.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt's important to keep in mind that you often get what you pay for, so going with the cheapest company isn't always the best option. You'll also want to consider professionalism, experience, responsiveness, and how pleasant they'll be to work with.
\r\n
Once you've hired a company, you'll schedule a time for them to come and get to work.
\r\n\r\nThey will likely have a large dumpster placed in the driveway, so you'll need to make sure the area is clear of any vehicles if that is the case.
\r\n\r\nThere should be a minimum of two workers, and maybe even more depending on the scope of the project and the company's availability.
\r\n\r\nThis crew will be dressed in PPE and will get to work loading the dumpster or box truck with items from the home right away.
\r\n\r\nIf there are heavy items, like appliances or a piano, for example, the junk removal crew may utilize dollies, moving straps, and other equipment to get the job done safely without damage any walls or doors in the process.
\r\n\r\nThe dumpster may need to be emptied and brought back, or a second dumpster might need to be placed if it becomes full before the cleanout is complete.
\r\n\r\nOnce all items are hauled out of the home and loaded into a large trash receptacle, the crew will sweep the area clean.
\r\n\r\nAfter the hoarding cleanup is complete—and typically before leaving the home—the company will provide you with an invoice.
\r\n\r\nOftentimes, they'll take a card, cash, or check on the spot, but in other cases you can call into the office to pay the invoice over the phone.
\r\n\r\nWe recommend discussing the payment process before hiring a cleanup crew so that expectations are clear and everything goes smoothly.
\r\n\r\nEverything is then hauled away to the appropriate place for proper disposal.
\r\n\r\nThis is most often a landfill, but if there are large amounts of recyclables or items in clean condition that can be donated, those items may be separated and handled accordingly.
\r\n\r\nThat being said, most hoarding homes are in a condition that requires all items be safely contained in a landfill.

\r\nWhen you're completing the cleanup on your own and need to rent a dumpster for the disposal aspect of your project, the process is fairly straightforward.
\r\n\r\nJust like with junk removal companies, you can find locally-owned and operated dumpster rental companies by searching on Hometown.
\r\n\r\nGet multiple quotes to compare the companies you speak with and determine who will be the best service to hire.
\r\n\r\nThere are several questions to ask each dumpster provider you speak with, like:
\r\n\r\nConsider the answers to all these questions when determining which company to rent a dumpster from.
\r\n\r\nOnce you've chosen a company to rent a dumpster from, arrange a date and time for the drop-off to occur.
\r\n\r\nBe sure that the area the dumpster will be placed in is clear of any vehicles or debris so that delivery isn't delayed.
\r\n\r\nOnce the dumpster is delivered and positioned, you can start loading it.
\r\n\r\nAfter you've filled it up or are finished with it, contact the dumpster company to schedule pickup.
\r\n\r\nThe company will then come pick up your dumpster and haul it to a landfill.
\r\n\r\nYour dumpster will be weighed at the landfill to determine how much the rental company will be charged to dump at the landfill, which is why it's important not to go over your weight limit.
\r\n\r\nDoing so will result in additional overage charges that can add up quickly.
\r\n\r\nAfter the whole process is complete, you'll be sent an invoice that you can pay online or over the phone.

There are several factors that affect the cost of your dumpster rental or commercial dumpster services.
\r\n\r\nLet’s break it down...
\r\n\r\nSimply put, each waste hauling company is free to set their pricing to whatever they’d like. As a customer, this makes it critical to check with multiple companies before choosing a provider. We recommend contacting at least 3 different services.
\r\n\r\nEach dumpster company's pricing can vary based on the duration of the rental period, the included weight limit, overage fees, pick-up schedule, operating hours, and other factors.
\r\n\r\nIt's also important to note that companies often run promotions or offer discounts for seniors or veterans, which is another reason we strongly encourage you to request multiple quotes to compare services and pricing.
\r\n\r\nWaste haulers generally charge more if they are required to travel long distances to drop off or pick up. Fuel costs and wear-and-tear on trucks are a substantial overhead cost for a waste hauling company, which is why, if possible, we recommend going with a company located nearby.
\r\n\r\nOn top of distance from the rental company, where you're located within your region will also make a big difference. For example, the cost of living in your area impacts landfill fees, meaning higher disposal fees for you.
\r\n\r\nSmaller dumpsters cost less than larger dumpsters. This is true for temporary residential dumpster rentals and commercial dumpster service. However, sometimes larger dumpsters provide a better overall value. Going with the smallest size dumpster to save money can end up costing you more if you underestimate the amount of junk or debris you need to get rid of, causing you to have to rent a second dumpster or pay for your dumpster to be emptied and returned.
\r\n\r\nFor example, one 20 yard dumpster will cost less than renting two 10 yard dumpsters, saving you money and time in the long run.
\r\n\r\nRead on:
\r\n\r\nRecycling dumpsters typically cost less than general waste dumpsters because the tipping fees cost less at the recycling facility than the landfill/processing facility. Non-recyclable waste requires special considerations that can influence pricing.
\r\n\r\nClean loading a dumpster, meaning only dumping one type of material into the container, usually allows for a discounted dumpster rental price.
\r\n\r\nLearn more:
\r\n\r\nDumpster rental costs are not set in stone, especially when working with smaller local waste haulers trying to earn your business.
\r\n\r\nIt's worth inquiring about any special deals they might be running, discounts for seniors/military/etc., or volume discounts for a large ongoing project. These discounts can add up and are a great way to reduce your total dumpster rental costs.
\r\n\r\nThe best way to ensure you're getting the best price for your dumpster is to contact several different locally-owned service providers in your area to compare dumpster rental quotes. We recommend getting at least three quotes to be sure you get a clear picture of the services offered, fair pricing for the area, and the quality of customer service being offered.
\r\n\r\nAt Hometown, we make it easy to find, contact, and compare local dumpster rental companies in your area. Read real, verified customer reviews and request free quotes from multiple companies so you can be sure you're hiring the best dumpster rental company near you for the best price.
\r\n\r\nDumpster pricing costs $250-$750 for temporary dumpsters and $100-$350 per month for commercial dumpsters. These prices depemd on several factors, like location, amount and type of debris, the rental company you choose, and more.
