Get matched with top dumpster providers in Templeton, IA

Depending on the rules and regulations set by your local municipality or sanitation company, you might be able to place a small amount of bricks in your regular garbage. However, you should call your local government or sanitation company first to double-check. If it’s not allowed, or you’d prefer to recycle them, you can haul them to a recycling facility or hire a trash removal company to pick them up and bring them in for recycling for you.

In most municipalities, you won’t need a permit for a dumpster if it’s parked in your driveway or yard, but this varies by location. You should always check with your local Department of Transportation or junk removal company to determine if you’ll need a permit. If you need to park your dumpster in the street, you will likely need a permit. Permit fees for dumpsters are usually affordable, totaling between $25 and $75. Your garbage removal company should pull the permit for you and just pass the permit fee to you via your invoice.

Although there’s a long list of items you can put in a rented dumpster, several items aren’t allowed. Most dumpster rental companies won’t allow paint cans, refrigerators, medical waste, household cleaners, hot water tanks, oil or fuel, and tires in their dumpsters. However, most let you dump furniture, wood, yard debris, small appliances, excess trash, and construction waste.

Finding the right dumpster rental company for your needs requires interviewing companies to ask about rental timelines, costs, and weight limits. Here are some questions you can ask a dumpster rental company you’re considering:

• How long are your standard rental contracts? Can I extend it?

• What is the maximum weight your dumpsters can hold?

• Does the rental include dumping fees?

• Do I need a permit, and will you pull it for me?

• Will you protect my driveway from damage?
