Do I need a permit to put a dumpster in my driveway?

A dumpster placed on private property such as your own driveway generally does not require a permit. Placement on a public street or right-of-way usually does. Requirements vary by municipality in the Columbus metro.

Do I need a roll-off or front-load dumpster?

If you have a one-time project (renovation, cleanout, construction), you need a roll-off dumpster. If you have a business with ongoing waste generation, you need front-load service. Call us and we'll help you decide.

Roll-Off vs Front-Load Dumpster: Which Is Right for Your Columbus Project?

Not sure whether you need a roll-off or front-load dumpster? Here's the difference and how to choose.

Roll-Off Dumpsters

Roll-off dumpsters are open-top, rectangular containers delivered by a roll-off truck. They're for temporary, one-time projects — renovations, cleanouts, construction, and roofing.

Sizes range from 6 to 40 cubic yards. You fill them at your own pace, and we haul them away when you're done.

Front-Load Dumpsters

Front-load dumpsters are the enclosed containers you see behind restaurants, retail stores, and apartment buildings. They're for ongoing, recurring commercial waste service.

Sizes range from 2 to 8 cubic yards. They're emptied on a regular schedule (1-6 times per week) and stay on-site permanently.
