Permit requirements depend on where you place your dumpster in Santa Monica:

No permit needed: If placing the roll-off container on your private property (driveway, yard, or designated parking area), you typically don't need a permit from the City of Santa Monica.

Permit required: If you need to place the dumpster on a public street, sidewalk, or city right-of-way, you must obtain a permit from Santa Monica's Public Works Department. Santa Monica has strict waste management regulations, and permit costs vary by location and duration.

Our experienced team can guide you through the Santa Monica permit process, including application procedures and placement regulations. We'll help ensure your dumpster rental is compliant with all local ordinances.

Each dumpster size includes a specific weight allowance in the base rental price:

• 30 Yard: 4 tons (8,000 lbs) included

Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, brick, and roofing shingles can quickly exceed weight limits. For these materials, we recommend ordering a larger container or discussing weight-based pricing options. We're transparent about all costs - no surprise charges!
