Questions

Before you rent

Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Providence?

Only if it goes on the street, sidewalk or a parking lane. Providence's official fee: Not read (OpenGov portal blocked); no fee shown on DPW pages. A dumpster in your own driveway usually needs no city permit.

How much does a dumpster cost in Providence?

It depends on size, rental length, how much the load weighs and where it sits. Local haulers set their own prices, so the fastest way to a real number is to request quotes for your ZIP code and dates.

What size dumpster do I need?

A 10-yard holds about 3 pickup loads (small bathroom, one-room cleanout). A 20-yard holds about 6–8 (kitchen remodel, garage cleanout) and is the most common choice. A 30- or 40-yard is for whole-home cleanouts, big remodels and demolition. Not sure? Pick "Not sure" on the form and haulers will help.

Is the quote really free?
