Virginia / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Ettrick.

Ettrick shares a Petersburg mailing address with the city across the Appomattox, but it is unincorporated Chesterfield County, so County hauler licensing and zoning govern a rental here and Petersburg city rules do not. Chesterfield requires paid waste haulers to hold a County license, so ask whichever company you call whether it has one. Plan to keep the roll-off on your driveway or yard: Ettrick's streets are VDOT roads and we found no permit path written for dumpsters. Because suppliers price from Richmond or Petersburg yards, ask each for the delivered total to your Ettrick address.

The first decision in Ettrick

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That is the only counted supplier with published prices ($379 to $459 for 6- to 20-yard bins, typically 7 days) but it dispatches from the Richmond side and warns of mileage fees, and it publishes no tonnage. Meridian Waste is based in Petersburg itself and offers larger 10- to 40-yard boxes, but every price and term is quote-only. Redbox+ publishes the clearest terms (3 or 4 tons, 10 days, $15 per extra day) but names only Chesterfield County, not Ettrick or Petersburg, and gives no street address. On a narrow Ettrick driveway, Bin There's 10- to 11-ft bins fit where a 17.5- to 22-ft 20-yard box may not.

Your local checklist
  1. Check that your 23803 address is in Ettrick (Chesterfield County) and not in the City of Petersburg, since the two share a mailing city but not their rules.
  2. Ask the hauler whether it holds a current Chesterfield County waste-collection license under County Code Sec. 11-12.
  3. Measure your driveway or yard for the box and keep it off the street and shoulder, which are VDOT right-of-way in Ettrick.

Meridian's Petersburg, VA 23803 page (Ettrick's mailing city and ZIP) offers short-term residential and commercial dumpster rental and names its serving facility as Meridian Waste - Petersburg Hauling, 333-B Industrial Drive, Petersburg, VA 23803; phone 804-748-8324. Its 20-yard product page says delivery paperwork received by 5 p.m. is scheduled for the next day.

Redbox+ Dumpsters of Richmond

Published sizes
20-yard Standard (about 22 ft long), 20-yard Suburban Elite (about 17.5 ft long) and 30-yard roll-offs

Published: 3 tons included on 20-yard boxes and 4 tons on 30-yard boxes, rental up to 10 days, $15 for each day beyond 10. Price per extra ton is not published.
Price basis
The Chesterfield page shows $420 (20-yd Standard) and $455 (20-yd Suburban Elite); the Richmond price list starts lower ($380 to $480 across five options), so confirm the price for an Ettrick address.

Independently owned franchise of a national brand. Its Chesterfield page names the county but not Ettrick or Petersburg, and its pages give only 'Richmond, VA 23226' with no street address, so it is listed for comparison and not counted as one of this guide's two suppliers. Phone 804-455-8222.

Keep the box on your lot; street placement is VDOT's call

Chesterfield County says VDOT maintains the majority of roads in the county, and Ettrick's streets are state roads, so any dumpster set in the street or road shoulder falls under VDOT land use permit rules (24VAC30-151), applied for through the VDOT residency for Chesterfield. We found no VDOT or County page that names dumpsters or sets a fee or time limit for them, so do not assume a street placement is allowed: put the roll-off on your driveway or yard. On the lot itself, the County's 2026 zoning ordinance (Chapter 19.2) treats portable storage units or containers as a restricted accessory use in every district, kept on the lot or driveway for no more than 90 days, and its definition carves out debris containers on active construction sites. A separate landscaping and screening rule (Sec. 19.2-41) calls for walls around solid waste storage areas, including dumpsters, but exempts garbage and recycling areas serving individual homes; we could only read these zoning sections on an unofficial mirror, so confirm them with Chesterfield County Planning before a long rental. Petersburg's city street rules do not apply in Ettrick.

No County trash pickup, but a recycling drop-off at Ettrick Park

Chesterfield County does not collect household trash; its Waste and Resource Recovery Division says private companies handle residential trash and recycling. Free recycling drop-off is available at the County's community recycling center in Ettrick Park, 20621 Woodpecker Road, South Chesterfield, so cardboard and bottles can stay out of a rented roll-off.

Chesterfield zoning: temporary containers and dumpster screening

Chesterfield's zoning ordinance (Chapter 19.2, in effect since January 2026) lets a portable storage container sit on a Ettrick lot or driveway for up to 90 days, and its definition leaves out boxes hauling debris from an active construction site. A separate clause, § 19.2-41.I.3, asks for masonry or concrete screening around solid waste storage areas such as dumpsters, built to match the building they serve; that describes a permanent trash enclosure rather than a short-term cleanout bin, but the ordinance does not say so outright, so ask the Planning Department if your bin will stay more than a few weeks.

Questions about renting in Ettrick.

My mail says Petersburg. Do Petersburg's city rules apply to my Ettrick dumpster?

No. Ettrick is a census-designated place in Chesterfield County that uses Petersburg (ZIP 23803) for mail but is not part of the independent City of Petersburg. Chesterfield County's waste-hauler licensing and zoning, and VDOT's rules for the streets, are the ones that apply.

Sources: [10] · [2]

Can I haul renovation debris to a County site myself instead of renting?

Yes, within limits. The Southern Area Convenience Center at 6700 Landfill Drive in Chester takes residential construction and demolition debris for $15 per pickup load ($30 with a trailer under 10 feet) from one home per visit, with proof of Chesterfield residency. Commercial C&D, dump trucks, dirt and dedicated concrete or asphalt loads are not accepted, so a large tear-out is usually a roll-off job.
