Do I need a permit for a dumpster on my property?

• <div><p>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 <b>$25 and $75</b>. Your garbage removal company should pull the permit for you and just pass the permit fee to you via your invoice.</p></div>

Will a couch fit in a 10-yard dumpster?

• <div><p>A standard couch will likely fit in a 10-yard dumpster easily. You may be able to fit a large or oversized couch in a dumpster of this size, but you’ll probably have to break it down as much as possible first. If you’re concerned your couch is too big, ask a local dumpster rental company for advice on which size dumpster you need. </p></div>
