Virginia / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Alexandria.

In the City of Alexandria, start by asking whether the box will fit on your own property. A street dumpster needs a $125 T&ES permit for up to 30 days, barricades, insurance, and $30–$40 per parking space per day, and only a City-permitted hauler can get that permit. City curbside service refuses construction materials, so remodel debris needs a private hauler. Every roll-off used in the City must carry a City Solid Waste sticker.

The first decision in Alexandria

Start with an eligible hauler.

Neither supplier publishes a price. Bin There Dump That has an office on Duke Street and offers small bins (4 to 20 yards, about 10–11 ft long, typically 7 days) that suit driveways and rowhouse lots. WM's Alexandria page starts at 20 yards and gives that box as about 22 ft long, longer than a single 20-ft reserved parking space. Its page also lists conflicting dimensions and no local address. Both companies are on the City's FY2027 permitted-hauler list. Get included tonnage and overage terms in writing from either one.

Your local checklist

Check that the address is inside City of Alexandria limits. Many 'Alexandria' mailing addresses are in Fairfax County, where City permits and City trash service do not apply.
Ask the hauler to confirm its City hauler permit for this fiscal year (both suppliers are on the FY2027 list) and that the box will carry a current City Solid Waste sticker.
If the box must go in the street, have the hauler file the $125 right-of-way permit at least five business days ahead. Budget reserved parking at $30–$40 per 20-ft space per day, and keep the box 20 ft from any crosswalk or stop bar.

The page is inconsistent. Its 20-yard size card gives 7 ft x 3.5 ft x 21 ft 11 in, but the FAQ gives 8 x 22 x 4 ft. A sidebar links to a 10-yard page that the Alexandria size list does not include. No local street address is shown. WM appears on the City's FY2027 permitted-hauler list as Waste Management – Manassas and Waste Management of MD. Confirm which WM unit will serve your address and that its box carries a current City sticker.

Street dumpsters: $125 right-of-way permit, 1 to 30 days

A dumpster in the public right-of-way needs a T&ES right-of-way permit: $125 for 1 to 30 days, renewable for another $125. The application needs a sketch of the spot, a flashing barricade at each end, at least 20 feet of clearance from any stop bar or crosswalk, and the name of the dumpster company. The box must already carry a current City Solid Waste sticker. The City's hauler notice says these permits go only to currently permitted haulers. Reserved parking costs $40 per metered space or $30 per unmetered space per day, and each space is 20 feet. Parking must be requested by noon three full business days ahead, and the City asks for applications five business days before work starts. General liability insurance ($100,000/$300,000) naming the City is required. Contact T&ES Permits at 703-746-4035 or TESPermits@alexandriava.gov. No City rule was found for a roll-off on a private driveway. A search of the City Code and Zoning Ordinance finds no zoning rule for roll-offs or portable containers at houses.

What matters locally

Free resident drop-off at the Eisenhower Avenue waste-to-energy plant

City residents can drop off small loads of metal, non-metal items, brush and yard waste at the Reworld waste-to-energy facility, 5301 Eisenhower Ave., free once a week up to 500 pounds, with ID or a utility bill. It takes no household trash and no construction debris (drywall, concrete, tile, roofing, paint), and contractors are turned away. Staff do not help unload. The same City page lists the Alexandria Waste Recovery Facility at 625 Burnside Pl. (resident dumping Saturdays only) as another option. The City notes these listings are not endorsements.

City curbside service stops at construction materials

Detached houses, duplexes and some townhouses are required users of the City's fee-based trash service, billed on the real estate tax bill. Asphalt, brick, concrete, drywall and tile are not accepted at the curb. The City's refuse page tells residents to call a private hauler for construction debris, dirt, brick and stones. Lumber or carpet longer than 4 feet is a common reason for a missed pickup. Refrigerators and other appliances go curbside only by request, at $20 each through Alex311 (703-746-4311).

Questions about renting in Alexandria.

Do I need a permit to put a dumpster on the street in Alexandria?

Yes. T&ES issues a right-of-way permit for dumpsters for $125, valid 1 to 30 days and renewable for another $125. The application needs a location sketch, flashing barricades at both ends, at least 20 feet from a stop bar or crosswalk, the dumpster company's name, a current City Solid Waste sticker on the box, and liability insurance naming the City. Reserved parking is extra: $40 per metered space or $30 per unmetered space per day, requested by noon three full business days ahead. The City's hauler notice says these permits go only to currently permitted haulers, so your rental company normally applies.

Will the City haul away my renovation debris?

No. City curbside service does not accept construction and building materials such as asphalt, brick, concrete, drywall and tile, and the City's refuse page tells residents to call a private hauler for that debris. Anyone collecting waste in the City, including construction and demolition debris, needs a City hauler permit under City Code Sec. 5-1-51. The City publishes a yearly list of permitted haulers.
