Maryland / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Clarksville.

Clarksville has no town hall, so Howard County zoning sets the rule: one temporary refuse container on the lot for up to 60 days, no wider than 8 ft or longer than 16 ft unless it serves permitted construction. Most River Hill and subdivision driveways can take a 10- to 20-yard bin; check covenants first if you live in River Hill. For a few pickup loads, Alpha Ridge Landfill in Marriottsville takes remodeling debris at $106 a ton and may cost less than a rental.

The first decision in Clarksville

Match the terms to your project.

All three publish prices. Bin There Dump That's 10- to 20-yard bins cost $480 to $560 for 10 days with 1.5 to 2 tons and are 11 ft long or less, the safest fit under the County's 16-ft limit. Action Dumpsters (Gaithersburg) charges $449 to $649 for 10 to 30 yards over 12 days with 1 to 3 tons and $125 a ton over. 86 Dumpster (White Marsh) lists $409 to $589 for 14 days and $136 a ton over, but its price list has inconsistencies. Neither Action nor 86 Dumpster publishes box lengths.

Your local checklist

Count your days: without a building permit, Howard County allows one refuse container for 60 days (one 90-day use a year with an extension), so book delivery when the debris is ready, not when demolition starts.
If you live in River Hill, call the village office (410-531-1749) before delivery; its covenants require trash containers out of sight except on pickup day and bar stored refuse and brightly coloured tarps, and the guidelines say nothing specific about roll-offs.
Keep the bin on your driveway and off MD 108 or MD 32 shoulders: no County street-placement permit was found, and any use of a State route needs an SHA District 7 permit.

Clarksville dumpster on your lot: County zoning allows one refuse container for up to 60 days; no County street permit found

Howard County Zoning Regulations Section 128.0.D.2 lets a property use one temporary refuse container (and one storage container) that is not tied to permitted construction, for up to 60 days, with a 30-day extension possible on application to the Director of Planning and Zoning, and no more than one such 90-day use per calendar year. The container must meet the zoning district's setback and bulk rules and may be no larger than 8 ft wide, 16 ft long and 8 ft high unless the Director waives the size; a bin serving work under a building permit falls outside this limit. We found no Howard County permit for placing a roll-off on a County road or shoulder: the Bureau of Highways (410-313-7450) lists only driveway permits, and the Construction Inspection Division's right-of-way permits cover utilities. Keep the bin on your driveway, and call the Bureau of Highways before asking for anything on the road. On MD 108, MD 32 or another numbered route, any work in the right-of-way needs a State Highway Administration permit from District 7 in Frederick.

What matters locally

Hauling it yourself: Alpha Ridge Landfill, $106 a ton for remodeling debris

Howard County's only landfill is Alpha Ridge, 2350 Marriottsville Road, Marriottsville, open Monday to Saturday (transfer station 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Residents' Convenience Center and wood-waste area 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; 410-313-6444). The fee schedule in force July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 charges $106 a ton for construction and demolition debris and for broken paving, stone or brick, even from residents. Household waste is free up to 2 tons a fiscal year for residents in a Howard-registered vehicle up to 3/4-ton; dump trucks, box trucks, trailers and rental vehicles count as commercial and must cross the scales. Bring proof of residency.

Curbside pickup takes no remodeling debris; bulk items are limited

County contractors collect household trash only, and the County says construction and demolition debris is not accepted at the curb; it must go to Alpha Ridge. Homes on County service can request a bulk-trash pickup of up to four items, each under 6 ft wide, set within 5 ft of the County road the night before trash day, and two scheduled scrap-metal pickups a year for appliances and other metal items (410-313-6444). Sinks, toilets, bathtubs, cabinets, carpet, flooring, glass and tires are excluded from bulk pickup, which is why a kitchen or bath remodel usually needs a roll-off.

River Hill homes: covenant rules on containers and stored refuse

If your Clarksville home is in River Hill, Columbia covenants apply. The River Hill Architectural Guidelines (revised March 2022) quote Covenant Article VIII, Section 8.06: trash containers may be out on pickup day and must otherwise be stored out of sight, and no refuse, trash or bulk materials may be accumulated or stored on a lot; brightly coloured tarps may not be left in the open, and tear-down/rebuild approvals ask that construction debris be removed promptly. The guidelines have no dumpster or roll-off rule, so call the River Hill village office (410-531-1749) before a bin arrives and keep the rental short.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Clarksville.

Do I need a permit for a roll-off at my Clarksville house?

Not for a short stay on your own lot, as far as we could find. Howard County Zoning Regulations § 128.0.D.2 lets a property use one temporary refuse container for up to 60 days without a permit, if it meets the zoning district's setbacks and stays within 8 ft by 16 ft by 8 ft; the Director of Planning and Zoning can grant a 30-day extension on application, and only one 90-day use is allowed per year. A bin serving construction under a building permit is outside that limit. We found no County permit for a bin on a County road, so keep it off the street.

Can I put renovation debris out for Howard County trash pickup instead of renting a bin?

No. Howard County's contractors collect household trash only, and the County says construction and demolition debris is not accepted at the curb; bulk pickup also excludes sinks, toilets, tubs, cabinets, carpet and flooring. You can haul debris to Alpha Ridge Landfill in Marriottsville yourself at $106 a ton (2026-27 schedule), or rent a roll-off from any company you choose; no County franchise or hauler license covering roll-offs was found in the County Code.
