Maryland / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Adelphi.

Adelphi has no local government, so Prince George's County sets the rules, and SHA District 3 handles bins on Riggs Road or Powder Mill Road (MD 212). Because Adelphi borders College Park, Hyattsville and Montgomery County, check which jurisdiction your lot is in before booking. If you get County trash service and have only a few large items, weekly curbside bulky pickup may make a roll-off unnecessary.

The first decision in Adelphi

Start with an eligible hauler.

Next Day Dumpsters is the only one of the three with its own Adelphi page and a nearby Beltsville yard, but it publishes no prices or tonnage and starts at 15 yards. Yellow Dumpster Service in Elkridge is the only one that publishes prices ($449 to $649 for 10 to 30 yards, 10 days, 1 to 3 tons), but it serves the County at large with no Adelphi page. Patuxent Roll-Off in Crofton covers Prince George's County with the widest range, from a driveway-size bin up to 40 yards, but publishes no prices or terms.

Your local checklist
  1. Check your property record before booking: Adelphi lots near the College Park or Hyattsville lines, or across the Montgomery County line toward Hillandale, follow that city's or county's dumpster rules, not unincorporated Prince George's County's.
  2. Plan to keep the bin on your driveway; if it must go on a County street, ask DPIE about a Site/Road permit first, and on Riggs Road or Powder Mill Road (MD 212) contact SHA District 3 in Greenbelt.
  3. Ask the company for its Prince George's County collection license and the approved facility it will use, and get the rental days, included tonnage and overweight rate in writing, since two of the three suppliers publish none of those.

Roll-off company with its own Adelphi page and a Beltsville yard whose page lists Adelphi among the communities it serves. The locations page gives the Beltsville yard as 11518 E Maple Ave, Beltsville, MD 20705 (the Beltsville page body shows 1518, so confirm) and another Maryland yard at 18225-D Flower Hill Way, Gaithersburg. It is the only one of the three with a yard a few miles from Adelphi, but it publishes no prices or tonnage, and its smallest bin is 15 yards. Ask whether it holds a current Prince George's County collection license.

Adelphi dumpster: County rules apply; work in a County road needs a DPIE Site/Road permit; MD 212 goes to SHA District 3

Adelphi is unincorporated, so Prince George's County's Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) handles County rights-of-way, and the State Highway Administration handles MD 212, the State route that runs through Adelphi as Riggs Road and Powder Mill Road. DPIE says a Site/Road permit is needed for work within the public right-of-way or on private property in a way that may affect it; no County page sets out a permit, fee or time limit written specifically for a dumpster or roll-off, so this guide cannot say what a street placement would cost or how long it may stay, and that is not the same as no permit being needed. The County has no permit written for a dumpster on a house driveway, and its zoning code does not list roll-offs as a temporary use; its 30-day, locked, not-in-the-front-yard rule is written for portable storage pods, so treat it only as a caution and keep a debris bin short-term and on the driveway. If the bin must sit on a County street, call DPIE before booking; on MD 212, the State Highway Administration requires a permit for any work in the State right-of-way from its District 3 office at 9300 Kenilworth Avenue, Greenbelt (301-513-7347).

What matters locally

Weekly curbside bulky pickup for County-collected Adelphi homes

Under the curbside bulky trash program the County announced in February 2022, homes on County-provided trash collection may set two bulky items, or two large bags of small household items, beside the trash cart on their regular collection day each week. Furniture, doors, cabinets, water heaters, push mowers (drained), mattresses in plastic and rolled carpet up to 324 square feet go out without an appointment; refrigerators, freezers, stoves, washers, dryers and scrap tires need an appointment through PGC311. Apartment complexes and homes served by a private or municipal hauler follow their own hauler's rules. For an Adelphi garage or basement with only a few large pieces, spreading them over several weeks may beat renting a bin; confirm the current rules with PGC311 because the announcement dates from 2022.

County drop-off: one free remodel-debris load a year at Brown Station Road

Prince George's County homeowners may take one pickup-truck load, or one trailer load up to 4 by 8 feet with 2-foot sides, of residential construction debris free each year to the Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill (3501 Brown Station Road, Upper Marlboro), with proof of County residency. The Brown Station Road convenience center and the Missouri Avenue convenience center (12701 Missouri Avenue, Brandywine) take household trash and recyclables; trailers are not allowed at the convenience centers. Both sites are in the south of the County, a long drive from Adelphi, so a small load is often easier to handle through bulky pickup or a short-term bin.

Hazardous waste and electronics go to the landfill's special sites

The County's November 2023 holiday-closing notice lists a Household Hazardous Waste Acceptance Site and an Electronics Recycling Acceptance Site at the Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill, alongside the landfill, its Public Convenience Center and the Missouri Avenue center. Paint, chemicals and electronics from an Adelphi cleanout should go there rather than into a roll-off.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Adelphi.

Does the County choose who can bring a roll-off to my Adelphi home?

No, you pick the company, but it must hold a County license. Prince George's County Code § 21-105(a) lets only collectors or haulers licensed by the Department of the Environment collect or transport solid waste in the County (residents may haul their own household waste), and § 21-105(f) requires licensees to deliver only to an approved facility. The County may collect trash from small homes outside municipalities and may contract with private companies, but no exclusive franchise covering roll-offs was found. Ask your company to confirm its current County license.

My house is on Riggs Road or Powder Mill Road. Can the dumpster go at the roadside?

Those stretches of Riggs Road and Powder Mill Road through Adelphi carry MD 212, a State route. The State Highway Administration says any work in the State right-of-way needs a permit from its District 3 office at 9300 Kenilworth Avenue, Greenbelt (301-513-7347), so contact District 3 before placing a bin anywhere off your own lot on those roads.
