Virginia / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Cave Spring.

Cave Spring is suburban Roanoke County, not a town, so County ordinances and VDOT set the rules and City of Roanoke permits do not apply. With no County hauler licence, any private roll-off company can serve you. A bin makes sense for contractor work, shingles or concrete the County will not pick up; a pickup-sized cleanout can go free to an RVRA transfer station on one of your yearly trips.

The first decision in Cave Spring

Match the terms to your project.

Bin There Dump That's Roanoke franchise publishes base prices ($379 to $459 for 6 to 20 yards) and a typical 7-day rental, but not included weight or overage, and may add mileage. Meridian Waste names Cave Spring on its own pages and is the only option here with 30- and 40-yard roll-offs, but publishes no prices or terms and dispatches from Christiansburg.

Your local checklist
  1. Confirm your address is in Roanoke County rather than the City of Roanoke or Salem (a Roanoke mailing address does not settle it), because City street-dumpster permits and rules do not apply in Cave Spring.
  2. Keep the bin on your driveway if you can; if it must touch a state-maintained subdivision street, call VDOT's Salem Residency about a single use permit and get written okay from the neighbours on either side.
  3. Ask your neighbourhood association, if you have one, how long a container may stay in view, and get the hauler's included weight and overage rate in writing before shingles or concrete go in.

Regional waste company whose Cave Spring pages say it has temporary roll-offs ready to deliver in Cave Spring and list ZIP 24018. The serving facility shown is Meridian Waste - Blue Ridge Hauling & MRF, 205 Scattergood Dr. NW, Christiansburg, VA 24073 (hauling office weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), which serves the New River Valley and Roanoke area; Christiansburg is a longer run to Cave Spring than the Roanoke-based franchise, so ask about delivery charges.

Southwest County lots: keep it in the driveway, or get VDOT's okay for the road

Roanoke County has no permit written for a dumpster on a street, and the City of Roanoke's street-dumpster permit does not reach County addresses even though the mail says Roanoke. Subdivision streets in Roanoke County are generally part of the state secondary system, so anything set in the public right-of-way falls under VDOT land use permit rules: trash receptacles on roads that are not limited-access may be allowed under a single use permit, sited as close to the right-of-way line as possible, with written permission from the adjoining property owners (24VAC30-151-640), and the single use permit application fee is $100 (24VAC30-151-710). That rule does not mention short-term roll-offs by name, so call VDOT's Salem Residency (714 S. Broad St., Salem; 540-387-5488) before a bin goes on the pavement. On the County side, zoning § 30-88-2 requires a zoning permit for a temporary portable storage container at a home (30 consecutive days per six months, one per lot, 130 sq ft maximum), but § 30-28 defines those as fully enclosed, box-like containers for household goods; an open-top debris roll-off is not that kind of container. If your bin is a closed storage unit, or you are unsure, ask Roanoke County zoning. The County's dumpster-screening standard in § 30-92-6(F)(1) applies to developments that need a site plan, not to a cleanout bin at a house. Neighbourhood associations in Southwest County may set their own limits on how long a container can sit in view, so check before booking.

What matters locally

Free resident drop-off at the RVRA transfer stations

Roanoke County residents may haul their own household trash, bulk items and brush to the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority's Tinker Creek Transfer Station (1020 Hollins Road NE, in the City of Roanoke) or Salem Transfer Station (1271 Indiana Street, Salem). RVRA lists both as open 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. The County describes the allowance as 12 pickup-truck-bed trips per household per year. RVRA's residential policy caps vehicles at a 1-ton or dually pickup, counts a single-axle trailer as 2 trips and a double-axle trailer as 3, charges $25 for an uncovered load, takes do-it-yourself construction debris and up to 500 pounds of rock, brick, concrete or asphalt, and refuses shingles, asbestos, stumps over 24 inches and waste from contracted work. Proof of residence may be requested.

What County curbside bulk and brush will and won't take

Roanoke County picks up bulk items and brush every other week (A-week or B-week; the County Trash App shows your dates). Piles go out no earlier than the Saturday before and by 7 a.m. on collection day, kept separate and at least 5 feet from vehicles, mailboxes, cans and electrical boxes; brush over 6 feet long or 12 inches thick is left behind. Up to 4 passenger tires are taken per pickup. Dirt, rock, concrete, shingles, car parts and anything from a paid contractor are not collected, so a remodel by a hired crew, a roof tear-off or a large cleanout is where a rented roll-off earns its cost. Missed-pickup questions: 540-387-6225.

Why a roll-off is the owner's or contractor's job in Roanoke County

Chapter 20 of the Roanoke County Code has the County collect household waste weekly in County-issued automated carts and run limited bulk and brush pickup, but it excludes contractor and commercial waste, construction and demolition waste from contracted work, concrete, roofing shingles and land-clearing debris, which the owner or contractor must dispose of. The chapter creates no County hauler permit, licence or franchise; it only requires companies that manage solid waste generated in the County to file an annual report with the County (§ 20-40). Household hazardous waste goes to RVRA's Tinker Creek station by appointment.

Questions about renting in Cave Spring.

Will Roanoke County haul away my remodeling debris instead of me renting a dumpster?

Not if a contractor did the work, or if the load is heavy material. The County's bulk and brush pickup excludes dirt, rock, concrete, shingles, car parts and materials from paid contractors, and Chapter 20 of the County Code leaves contractor and construction-demolition waste to the owner or contractor. For do-it-yourself debris you can load in a pickup, RVRA's Tinker Creek and Salem transfer stations take County residents' loads free (shingles and asbestos excepted), within the County's 12-trip yearly allowance.

Does a roll-off in my Cave Spring driveway need a Roanoke County zoning permit?

The County's temporary-container rule (Zoning § 30-88-2) needs a zoning permit and limits a unit to 30 days in six months, but § 30-28 defines those containers as enclosed, box-like units for storing household goods, which an open-top debris roll-off is not. The dumpster-screening standard in § 30-92-6 applies to developments under site plan review. If you are renting a closed storage container, or want certainty for your lot, ask Roanoke County zoning before delivery.
