Monday, 23 May 2016 03:50 by admin
Solid waste rules and regulations vary by location. The Department of Public Works in Fulton and Dekalb Counties regulates rules pertaining to solid waste removal. In most cases, Atlanta is an open market for waste haulers, meaning they are able to compete for your business. Check your county’s rules and regulations to make sure of this. Do I need a permit to rent a dumpster? If the dumpster will be placed in the public right-of-way, such as the side of a city street, you will need to obtain a permit from the Department of Public Works' Office of Transportation. Dumpster placement rules: The City of Atlanta's ordinance on dumpster rental placement in the public right-of-way spells out specific rules you must follow, including: No dumpster may be placed within 40 ft of bus stops, 20 ft of handicap parking spaces, 20 ft of a crosswalk, 30 ft of an intersection, or 15 ft of a fire hydrant. In most cases, you can’t place it on a sidewalk. You’re responsible for any damage to curbs, roadways, sidewalks, etc. while the dumpster is in the public right-of-way. These rules are relaxed if you place the dumpster on private property. Check with your dumpster rental company regarding permitting requirements and whether they take care of obtaining permits for you. What Size Dumpster Do You Need?
