If your rented dumpster is put in the public right of way, it is a universal law that a dumpster rental permit is required for you.
The public right of way encompasses:
- Avenues of town
- Sidewalks
- Alleyway
- City-owned land (parking lots, etc.)
If required, a licensed and reputable dumpster rental firm will have no problem providing a dumpster rental license on your behalf.
WHEN YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A DUMPSTER PERMIT?
If the dumpster is located on private property and does not obstruct the public right of way, most cities do not need a dumpster permit.
It involves:
- Your driveway
- Private property
- Private commercial property
BE MINDFUL OF THE DEMANDS OF YOUR CITY
Although the general rules mentioned above are the law in most U.S. cities, under certain circumstances, certain municipal governments may require permits.
In order to find specific laws for your location, it is necessary to check with your local government public works department, or the department responsible for authorization.
HOW TO GET A DUMPSTER PERMIT
Applications for dumpster permits are usually short and take no longer than 20 minutes to complete.
The company must fill out and receive the permit, not the renter, in some cities, like Oklahoma. The landlord, company owner, or contractor may be responsible for acquiring it in other cities. In order to determine the demand in your area, check with your dumpster rental provider.
PHASE 1
Contact and address your project needs with a dumpster provider near you. If a dumpster permit is found to be required, make arrangements to obtain it with the dumpster rental company.
PHASE 2
Your job is done if the dumpster provider agrees to receive it! If you get the permit, proceed to the next phase.
PHASE 3
By telephone or online, contact the transportation department or local public works.
Contact the main office line if you do not know which city department manages permits, and they will point you in the right direction.
PHASE 4
Fill out the application that your city needs and if necessary, pay the tax.
The software is also available online.
When done, the application can be mailed, dropped off or submitted online.
Enable processing for several days to a week.
PHASE 5
Be sure that the city rules are followed to ensure enforcement until the permit is accepted.
Popular regulations include the location on both sides of the dumpster of traffic cones, reflective tape on the sides of the dumpster, visibility of the permit on the dumpster, etc. See us here at Envirodispose for dumpster rental in OKC.
