Costs range from $200 to $1,000 per rental, depending on dumpster size, duration, and waste type. Additional fees may apply for exceeding weight limits or hazardous waste disposal.

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.

Your garbage removal company should pull the permit for you and just pass the permit fee to you via your invoice.
