Dumpster Rental: Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a roll-off dumpster in Tampa?

A permit isn't required if the dumpster is placed on private property, such as your driveway or job site. However, if you plan to place the dumpster on a public street, you will need a Temporary Structure in Right-of-Way Permit, especially if it may block a sidewalk or disrupt traffic. If you have more questions about permits, feel free to ask when you rent a dumpster.

What is the best way to load my dumpster rental?

Start by opening the loading door and placing large, heavy items inside first. This approach makes it easier to maximize space and ensures efficient use of the container. Afterward, you can throw smaller, lighter objects over the sides. To avoid extra charges, ensure that all materials are level with or below the fill line before scheduling a pickup. Nothing should stick out over the top or hang on the sides. Reach out for more tips on how to properly fill your dumpster.

Certain items are prohibited from being disposed of in a dumpster due to safety and environmental regulations. These typically include hazardous materials like chemicals, paint, batteries, tires, and electronics.
