Dumpsters/trailers in Residential Neighborhoods

• If a dumpster/trailer fits in a driveway and does not obstruct the sidewalk, Public Works prefers the dumpster/trailer be placed in the driveway. No permit is required if dumpster is in a driveway.
• Dumpsters/trailers are not allowed at a T-intersection and must be offset if placed on a street. If the offset impacts a neighboring resident or business, the neighbor must approve the location.
• In general, dumpsters/trailers cannot be placed where they block hydrants, mailboxes, or driveways.
