Junk removal usually includes removing unwanted items from your property, loading it into a dumpster or a truck, and then carting the junk off of your property to be disposed of at a dump site. In most cases, your dumping fees—charged by the dump site—are included in your estimate, but you might want to confirm this expense with your junk removal team. Some junk removal companies offer additional services, like a deep clean after junk removal and moving and packing services, in case you’re getting rid of garbage as part of your relocation efforts.

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.

You will need a permit for a roll-off dumpster if you plan on storing it in the street or if it will block any sidewalks or other public areas. A roll-off dumpster that sits completely on your private property often won’t require a permit, but some HOAs and municipalities will require them even if the dumpster won’t be on or block public spaces.
