One of the most important thing to know about dumpster rentals in San Antonio is permits. The most important things you need to know about permits you that you only need them some of the time.
Those instances vary depending on where exactly you’re placing your dumpster. The short answer is: on private property, you don’t need a permit. On public property, you need a permit.
We get it, permits can be a hassle for regular ol’ homeowners who just want to toss some junk. However, we’ve been in the business long enough to know that permits are not only necessary. However, they extremely helpful for the community.
In San Antonio, there are over 270,000 homeowners. It’s important to make sure that potential obstructions are regulated by the locality. San Antonio is projected to see around a 20% increase in home renovations over the coming years, so dumpsters, and their permits, will be more and more needed.
At the smallest level, permits are a good way for your neighbors to be aware of what’s going on around them. What if your neighbor also needed to rent a dumpster the same weekend that you are? If you apply for your permit and get it through the system first, they’ll be able to flag it for your neighbor and say “hey, there’s already work being done on this street at the time. Would you consider switching to next weekend?”
Making sure your dumpster placement area has the right permissions helps when dumpster deliveries and pickups are made. When your signage is placed, you’ll be able to make sure that the area stays clear without having to direct traffic yourself.
We know from experience that directing traffic in order to fit a 20 or 30 yard dumpster is not how you want to spend your Friday afternoon.
When you rent a roll off dumpster, you’ll need a permit if you place your dumpster on public property.

If you plan on placing your dumpster on your own property or on your driveway, you won’t need a permit. However, your dumpster needs to fit completely inside your property or driveway.
