Residential Dumpster Rental across Hampton Roads
Homes around Chesapeake vary, so one container does not fit them all. A tight driveway in Great Bridge or Greenbrier may want a 10 or a 15 set down carefully; a bigger lot in Hickory or Deep Creek may take a 20 or a 30. Our smaller dumpsters fit most driveways, and the first thing we ask on the phone is what the driveway looks like.
Most residential jobs are one of three things: a cleanout (a garage, an attic, a basement, or a house before a move), a remodel (kitchen, bath, flooring, roof), or the yard after a storm. Each wants a different size and a different talk about weight. The size comparison covers the numbers, the sizing guide covers the planning, and the phone call covers your job.

What actually fills a residential dumpster
Cleanouts lead the way: furniture, boxes and clutter from a garage, an attic or a basement, or a whole house before a move. Remodels come next: drywall, cabinets, flooring and fixtures from a kitchen, a bath or a full renovation. Then the outdoor jobs: shingles off a roof, branches, soil and shrubs from a landscaping project or a storm.
The alternative is repeated trips to a disposal site. A roll-off takes the whole job in one go.
Driveway placement, street rules and where you live
The driveway comes first. A driveway or other flat, solid surface is the usual spot. The truck needs room to reach it and pull out, and the container needs flat ground, so move vehicles and obstacles before delivery. Protective boards go under the container on request, and we recommend them on any finished surface such as a driveway, pavers or a curb. On a residential lot, Chesapeake's Portable Storage Containers page sets limits for portable storage containers and includes roll-off containers and dumpsters in its definition of a container; the page does not say which limits apply to a dumpster, so we check the City's rules before booking.
The street is another matter. A spot in a City street or right-of-way may need a City permit, and Virginia Beach's right-of-way page says a permit is needed for any activity in City right-of-way. Virginia's VDOT rules bar any nontransportation use of state-highway right-of-way without written VDOT permission (24VAC30-151-20), so a container never goes in the right-of-way of I-64, I-264, I-564, US-17, US-13, US-58, US-460, VA-168, VA-171 or any other state route. Each town page says what that place asks for.

Residential dumpster rental - the Hampton Roads specifics
Rules differ by place, so the local part matters as much as the container. Chesapeake's zoning page puts roll-off containers and dumpsters inside its definition of "container" and sets limits for portable storage containers on residential lots; the page does not say which limits apply to a dumpster, so we check the City's rules before booking. For property that is not residential, the page says containers "follow other regulations" (Zoning Ordinance sec. 13-402, which we could not read). The City's permits page says permits may be required for excavation and construction and does not mention containers. We found no street-placement or hauler-licence rule on the City pages we could read. We check the City's rules before booking. Virginia Beach's Right of Way Permits page says a permit is required for any activity within a City-owned right-of-way (a summary we read; the page does not mention dumpsters). We found no dumpster-specific street or licence rule. We check the City's rules before booking. Virginia lets localities set the times and placement of waste containers set out for collection (Code of Virginia sec. 15.2-928(A)(vii)), and lets them license haulers and create exclusive service areas (sec. 15.2-930(A), subject to sec. 15.2-934). Virginia's VDOT rules bar any nontransportation use of state-highway right-of-way without written VDOT permission (24VAC30-151-20), so a container never goes in the right-of-way of I-64, I-264, I-564, US-17, US-13, US-58, US-460, VA-168, VA-171 or any other state route. We found no state dumpster or hauler licence. For what goes in, our list is: paints, thinners, oils and automotive fluids; batteries and electronics; propane tanks, fuel and pressurized cylinders; tires; medical waste; asbestos and hazardous materials; and appliances containing refrigerants. If you are unsure about an item, call before loading it. The what can and cannot go in guide says more.
Answers
Residential Dumpster Rental — your questions answered
Not covered here? Call (757) 844-5926 and ask.
Will the dumpster damage my driveway?
We take precautions to protect your property during delivery and pickup, and our drivers place each container with care. Protective boards go under the container on request, and we recommend them on any finished surface such as a driveway, pavers or a curb.
Can I put the dumpster on the street instead?
Only where the rules allow it, and it is never the first plan. A spot in a City street or right-of-way may need a City permit, and Virginia Beach's right-of-way page says a permit is needed for any activity in City right-of-way. We never place a container in a state highway right-of-way. Tell us the address and we check the rules before booking.
Do I need a permit on my own driveway?
It depends on the city. Chesapeake's zoning page sets rules for containers on residential lots, and we check the City's rules before booking. Where we found no rule for a place, we say so on its town page.
Can I put old appliances or a mattress in the dumpster?
Furniture, mattresses and most household items can go in. Appliances containing refrigerants cannot, and neither can electronics such as TVs and computers. For those, ask about our junk removal service.
How long can I keep the container?
The standard rental period is 5 to 7 days, set on your quote. Need longer? Call and we extend it for an additional daily fee. Finished early? Call and we schedule a pickup.
Do you serve my area?
We deliver across Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Hampton and the rest of Hampton Roads, and to the places on our service area page, each with its own page. Each page says plainly what that place requires. We are licensed and insured.
