Do I Need a Permit to Rent a Dumpster?

Answer: In some cases
Explanation: The first step in renting a roll-off container is figuring out if you need to get a permit from the city of Austin or your corresponding city’s municipal. If you are intending to place your dumpster rental on PUBLIC property, it is most likely that you will need a Right of Way permit from the city of Austin. COA has proper safety precaution requirements in place to help safely divert traffic. It’s safe to assume that you will need to apply for an online permit if your roll-off rental: might block a public sidewalk, need to be placed directly on the street, or violate any of the city’s “right of way” considerations.
