How Long Can A Dumpster Stay On My Property

Rad Dumpsters specializes in short term dumpster rentals.  In most circumstances we can accommodate a customers needs for a longer term dumpster rental.

The duration a dumpster can stay on your property largely depends on local regulations, our rental agreement and if applicable, any Homeowners Association (HOA) rules you might be subject to. Here’s a breakdown of factors that can influence the length of time you can keep a dumpster on your property:

Local Regulations and Permits

• City or Municipal Regulations: Some cities have specific ordinances that limit the amount of time a dumpster can be placed on a public street or property. If a permit is required, the permit itself may have a specific expiry.
• Permit Duration: When a permit is required (usually for dumpsters placed on public property), the permit will specify how long the dumpster can stay. Extensions may require an additional fee or a new permit.

Rental Company Policies

• Standard Rental Periods: Many dumpster rental companies offer standard rental periods, typically ranging from 7 to 10 days. This is often negotiable based on your project needs.
• Extension Options: Most companies allow you to extend the rental period for an additional fee. These fees can be daily, weekly, or otherwise as per the company’s policy.
• Long-Term Projects: For lengthy renovations or construction projects, discuss longer rental periods with the company. They often have provisions for such needs.

Homeowners Association (HOA) Guidelines

• HOA Restrictions: If you live in an area with an HOA, there might be restrictions on how long you can have a dumpster on your property, especially if it's visible from the street or to neighbors.
• Approval Process: You might need to get approval from your HOA before renting a dumpster, and this process can include limits on the rental duration.
