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.

It depends on the dumpster rental company. Some may allow you to put box springs in their dumpsters, while others may not. Ask your rental company before putting a box spring into the dumpster.

The ideal dumpster location is flat, accessible, and out of the way. If local guidelines allow it, a street, driveway, or paved area near or in front of your home is a good option. However, you should avoid soft ground, tight corners, or blocking entrances. If you live in a neighborhood with restrictions, always check with your city or HOA before placing a dumpster.
