Dumpster permits are required, if the container is on public property, such as a street or a sidewalk.  Generally, these permits are falling underclass of permits to occupy the public right of way or permit to use the street. Cities' building departments or public works are issuing and enforcing these permits.

Dumpster permits are not required if the container is going on privately owned land such as a driveway.  If your neighborhood has a homeowners association, you may also need permission from them before placing a dumpster on a residential street.
