Dumpster Rental in Melbourne, FL

Listen up. Trying to drop a box in Melbourne ain't always a cakewalk. The sandy, unstable soil, especially east of US-1 near the Indian River Lagoon or closer to Indialantic, means those heavy dumpsters can sink right into your driveway or yard after a good rain if you don't pad 'em properly. Then you got the tight, older streets in areas like Historic Downtown Melbourne or around Eau Gallie, where a 40-yarder might not even clear the turns, and low-hanging power lines are a real headache, especially on some of those older residential blocks.

Come hurricane season, from June to November, high winds are your biggest enemy here. Don't leave your dumpster uncovered with light debris during a storm watch; that stuff will fly out and become projectiles. Always secure a tarp over your load, and if heavy rains are predicted, make sure those plywood pads are *under* the wheels, not just nearby, to prevent sinking into that soft Florida sand.

Permit Requirements

No permit is needed if the dumpster is entirely on private property. If it needs to be placed in the public right-of-way (street or sidewalk), you'll need a Right-of-Way Permit from the City of Melbourne's Public Works Department. Costs vary but expect to pay around $50-$75, and it might require proof of insurance from the hauler.

Disposal & Landfill Info

Landfill: Brevard County Landfill - Sarno Road

Fees: Expect roughly $60/ton for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and general construction debris. Specific rates for clean concrete or asphalt might be slightly lower, but plan for that $60 mark for mixed loads.
