Do you need a permit in Richmond?
If the dumpster sits on your own driveway or private lot, the City's right-of-way permit doesn't apply.
If it goes on a city street, sidewalk or other public right-of-way, the City of Richmond requires a Work in Streets Permit (dumpsters and PODs are named on the City's list). Apply at City Hall, Room 110, or by email to Rightofway@richmondgov.com. The City's posted fee schedule lists a $75 application fee plus $40 per dumpster per week; confirm the current amount with the City.
If the dumpster takes up metered parking spaces, the City also requires a parking permit from its Parking Division.
The City's placement rules for dumpsters and PODs include keeping them out of restricted areas such as near corners, stop/yield signs and fire hydrants. Check the City diagram before booking street placement.
Henrico, Chesterfield and other counties have their own rules; see the county guides below.
