Dumpster Rental in Gainesville, FL

Look, Gainesville ain't always easy. You get into the Duckpond or some of the older areas around Downtown, and those streets are tighter than a drum. Forget about setting a 40-yarder down there without blocking traffic or rubbing up against a power line. And that sandy soil, especially in places like Haile Plantation, means you better put down plywood pads or that can is sinking faster than a cheap boat. Don't even get me started on shared driveways, make sure you clear that with all parties or you'll have an unhappy neighbor calling the city.

🌤️

Summer heat is no joke here. Leave a dumpster on blacktop without protection, and you'll be leaving behind a permanent impression of its feet. Always lay down heavy-duty plywood to prevent asphalt damage. And with daily afternoon thunderstorms from June through September, make sure whatever you load can handle getting soaked, or tarp it to keep the weight down from rain and prevent debris from blowing out in a gust.

Permit Requirements

No permit required if the dumpster is entirely on private property. If it needs to sit in the street or right-of-way, you'll need a Right-of-Way Obstruction Permit from the City of Gainesville's Public Works Department.
