Dumpster rental
in Falls Church.

Inside the City of Falls Church, the curbside contractor collects household trash and paid bulk items but not construction debris or contractor waste, so a remodel needs a private roll-off. Lots are tight. A dumpster in the parking lane needs a $100 City permit for 14 days and must sit 25 ft from driveways and intersections, so most renters will want a short bin that fits the driveway. Check the City Code question below before renting a roll-off for household junk.

The first decision in Falls Church

Match the terms to your project.

Only Nova Dumpsters publishes prices: $425–$675 for 10 to 30 yards, 10-day rentals, 1–4 tons included. Its own pages disagree on tonnage. Bin There Dump That has the smallest bins (4 to 20 yards, 10–11 ft long, with driveway boards) but publishes no prices or tonnage. Selective Hauling rents only 20- and 30-yard construction boxes 22 ft long, with 20 days before rental fees start and no published price.

Your local checklist
  1. Confirm with the City that your address is inside City limits and not in the Fairfax County part of the Falls Church mailing area, because the City permit and rules apply only inside the City.
  2. If the bin can't fit on your lot, get the City's right-of-way dumpster permit ($125 for 45 days under City Code § 15-36) before delivery: max 8 ft wide, 25 ft from driveways and intersections.
  3. Ask the supplier in writing whether household junk (not just construction debris) may go in an open roll-off, and tarp the load between uses.

Overfilled bins may be charged extra, and chemicals and asbestos are refused. The page does not say whether it means the City or the wider Falls Church mailing area, so give your exact address.

Roll-off and demolition hauler based at 8040 Queenair Drive, Gaithersburg, MD; its Falls Church page offers construction roll-offs there. The page says the company cannot obtain permits. The 22-ft boxes are about twice as long as Bin There's bins, so measure the driveway. The 10-ton figure is a maximum load, not included disposal weight; ask what tonnage the price includes.

03 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Nova Dumpsters

Published sizes
6-yard (heavy materials only), 10-, 15-, 20- and 30-yard roll-offs
Rental & weight terms
The pricing page lists 10-day rentals with 1 ton included (10 yd), 1.5 tons (15 yd), 2 or 3 tons (20 yd) and 3 or 4 tons (30 yd). Extra weight is billed per ton prorated to the pound, but the rate is not published. No extra-day rate is published.
Price basis
Published: $425 (10 yd), $450 (15 yd), $500 (20 yd, 2 tons), $575 (20 yd, 3 tons), $600 (30 yd, 3 tons), $675 (30 yd, 4 tons). The FAQ adds $75 per sofa or mattress, $200 for a failed delivery or pickup and $150 to move a container.

The site lists Alexandria (Sumner Rd) and Woodbridge (Smoketown Rd) locations without street numbers, and two different phone numbers. Its pages conflict: the sizes page shows higher included tonnage than the pricing page, and the pound figures for 15 and 20 yards don't match the tons. Get size, tonnage and price in one written quote. The quote form is a request, not a booking, and customers must obtain any street permit themselves.

Parking-lane dumpsters: City right-of-way permit, $125 for 45 days

The City's Public Works fee schedule (City Code § 15-36) lists a 'ROW Permit - PODS or Dumpster Placement' at $125 for 45 days. Public Works' older Dumpster/Portable Storage Request form (Rev 08/2013), which still shows $100 for 14 days, sets the placement rules: containers at most 8 ft wide, at least 25 ft from any driveway entrance or street intersection, not blocking hydrants or covering manholes or storm drains, and a diagram with the request. Submit requests to Development Services (703-248-5080, permits@fallschurchva.gov) and confirm the current form and fee before delivery. City Code § 34-6(b), which bars open-top roll-offs from holding household-type municipal solid waste except by permitted use, is written for properties that are not on routine City collection; a search of the City Code, including zoning, finds no rule limiting how long a roll-off may stay in a house driveway.

Questions about renting in Falls Church.

Do I need a permit to put a dumpster on a Falls Church City street?

Yes, for the parking lane or other City property. The Public Works Dumpster/Portable Storage Request form charges $100 for 14 days from issuance, with one free 30-day extension. Containers may be at most 8 ft wide, must be 25 ft from any driveway entrance or intersection, and must not block hydrants, manholes or storm drains. You submit a placement diagram to the Development Services counter (703-248-5080) and pay when the permit is approved. The form dates from 2013, so confirm the current fee before you apply.

Will the City haul my remodel debris instead?

No. City Code Sec. 34-3 excludes construction debris, masonry, block, stone and soil from City curbside collection, and the special collection definition excludes solid waste from any contractor's work. The City's curbside page tells contractors to arrange private removal. Special bulk pickup ($75 per two cubic yards, $30 per appliance) is for furniture, moving debris and appliances only.
