A dumpster permit is likely required if you are placing a dumpster on public property, such as a street, parking lot, etc.  We recommend checking with your local municipality in regards to any permits before ordering any dumpster that will be placed on public property.  Click here for Philadelphia Dumpster Permit Information or visit the https://www.phila.gov/services/permits-violations-licenses/get-a-license/business-licenses-permits-and-approvals/dumpsters/get-a-construction-dumpster-license/ page for more information about potential dumpster regulations.

The right size dumpster really depends on the type of project, how much debris you will generate, and whether the debris is bulky or heavy.  If you have limited space for the dumpster, you may not be able to fit the larger sizes.
