Permit Info

Dumpster Permits in Seattle

Rules vary by placement. Here's what you need to know before your dumpster arrives.

🏠
Private Driveway

No permit is required when the dumpster sits entirely on your private driveway or property — the most common setup in Seattle.

🚦
Street Placement

Placing a dumpster in the public right-of-way (e.g., a parking lane) requires a Street Use permit from SDOT before delivery. Containers must sit in a legal parking space at least 30 ft from intersections, 10 ft from driveways, and 15 ft from fire hydrants. Fees are based on SDOT's right-of-way management review plus location and duration.

🚫
Prohibited Items

Most Seattle haulers won't take paint, tires, batteries, freon appliances, hazardous waste, or wet concrete. Rules vary — ask your hauler.

⚖️
Overage Fees

Heavy debris fills weight limits fast. Seattle haulers typically charge $50–$100 per additional ton over the included allowance.

Most Seattle home renovations use a 20-yard dumpster. It holds about 6 pickup-truck loads and handles full kitchen/bathroom remodels, flooring removal, and deck demolition. If your project is smaller (one room, small bathroom), a 10 or 15-yard may suffice. For major additions or new construction, consider a 30 or 40-yard.
Most Seattle haulers include a 7–10 days rental period in their base price. Extensions are usually available for a daily or weekly fee — ask your hauler when booking.

Dumpster rental in Seattle is straightforward once you know the local price range. Most projects land in the 20-yard range — it's the most-rented size because it handles nearly any home renovation without requiring a street permit in most driveways. Smaller 10 and 15-yard containers work for single-room cleanouts; larger 30 and 40-yard bins are better for new construction or commercial jobs.

When comparing quotes, ask about weight limits upfront. Heavy debris like concrete, dirt, or roofing shingles fills a weight allowance fast, and overage fees can add $55–$85 per ton to your bill. Booking same-day or next-day delivery is common in Seattle — most local haulers can accommodate short lead times.
