Permits in Providence

A dumpster or storage pod placed on a Providence street, sidewalk or roadway needs a Department of Public Works permit, applied for through the city's online permit portal as a Temporary Dumpster or Pod Permit. The permit sets the size, location and duration, and Traffic Engineering reviews it. The container must stay at its approved spot and carry reflective markings.

Placement tips for Providence

4 numbered highways run through town: U.S. Route 1, U.S. Route 6, Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 44. Say whether the drop spot is paved, gravel or grass.

Before delivery, measure the drop spot, look up for wires and branches, and keep cars out of the area. A photo of the spot sent with your quote request answers most placement questions.

Sizes and what can go in

Rhode Island rentals come in 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 yard sizes. See the dumpster sizes page for what each size is usually used for.

Hazardous items such as paint, batteries, fuel and pressurized tanks cannot go in. Ask before loading mattresses, tires, appliances or anything else you are unsure about, since some items carry an extra charge.

Weather and timing

If the container may sit in the street during winter, ask the city or town about snow parking bans and plowing before you plan a street placement.
