Maryland / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Forestville.

Forestville has no local government, so Prince George's County, and SHA District 3 on Pennsylvania Avenue (MD 4), set the rules; the main trap is that a District Heights 20747 address may be inside the City of District Heights instead. For a mid-size cleanout on a driveway, any County-licensed roll-off company can serve you; for a small remodel load, the free annual trip to Brown Station Road in Upper Marlboro may be enough.

The first decision in Forestville

Start with an eligible hauler.

Next Day Dumpsters is the only one with a page naming Forestville (and one for District Heights), but it starts at 15 yards and publishes no prices or tonnage. Yellow Dumpster Service publishes everything ($449 to $649 for 10 to 30 yards, 10 days, 1 to 3 tons) but serves Prince George's County from Elkridge without a Forestville page. Patuxent Roll-Off in Crofton covers the County with the widest range, up to 40 yards, and same- or next-day service, but publishes no prices or terms.

Your local checklist

Check your property record before booking: Forestville and the City of District Heights share ZIP 20747, and Morningside borders Forestville, so confirm your lot is unincorporated County land and not inside one of those municipalities.
In Forestville's garden-apartment and townhouse areas, get the property manager's or association's written OK and a paved spot off the street; if the bin must sit on a County road ask DPIE about a Site/Road permit, and on Pennsylvania Avenue (MD 4) contact SHA District 3 in Greenbelt.
Ask the company for its current Prince George's County collection license, the included tonnage and overweight rate in writing, and whether it can bring a 10-yard box, since Next Day's smallest listed size is 15 yards.

Forestville dumpster: County rules apply; work in a County road needs a DPIE Site/Road permit; MD 4 and other State routes go to SHA District 3

Because Forestville is unincorporated, Prince George's County's Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) handles County rights-of-way. DPIE says a Site/Road permit is needed for work within the public right-of-way (the roadway area) or on private property in a way that may affect it. The County has no permit written for a dumpster sitting on a house driveway, and no County page setting a dumpster-specific street permit, fee or time limit was found, so this guide cannot say what a curbside bin would cost or how long it could stay; that is not the same as no permit being needed. On numbered State routes such as Pennsylvania Avenue (MD 4), the State Highway Administration requires a permit for any work in its right-of-way from District 3 at 9300 Kenilworth Avenue, Greenbelt (301-513-7347). The County zoning code does not list roll-offs as a temporary use; its 30-day, locked, not-in-the-front-yard limits are written for portable storage pods, so treat them only as a caution and keep a debris bin short-term. If your address is actually inside the City of District Heights or the Town of Morningside, ask that municipality instead.

What matters locally

Brown Station Road landfill: one free remodel load a year for County homeowners

With proof of County residency, a Prince George's homeowner may take one pickup-truck load, or one trailer load up to 4 by 8 feet with 2-foot sides, of residential construction debris to the Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill (3501 Brown Station Road, Upper Marlboro) free each year; the site is open Monday to Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. From Forestville it is a short drive out Pennsylvania Avenue (MD 4) toward Upper Marlboro. Trailers are not allowed at the convenience centers, and the Missouri Avenue center in Brandywine is the other County drop-off. Homes on County-contracted trash service can set up to four bulky items at the curb on collection day; others request bulky pickup through PGC311.

Curbside bulky trash only for County-collected homes, not District Heights or Morningside

The County's curbside bulky trash program, which began the week of February 14, 2022, covers homes with County-provided trash collection: furniture, doors, cabinets, water heaters, mattresses in plastic and rolled carpet up to 324 square feet go out beside the cart without an appointment, while refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers and scrap tires need a PGC311 appointment. The 2022 notice allowed two items or two large bags a week; the County's current facilities page describes up to four items on collection day, so check the current limit with PGC311. Residents of municipalities that do not get County bulky service, which can include District Heights and Morningside addresses next door, are not covered.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Forestville.

My mail says District Heights 20747. Do Forestville's County rules apply to me?

Not necessarily. ZIP 20747 covers both unincorporated Forestville and the City of District Heights, an incorporated city since 1936, and the Town of Morningside borders Forestville to the southeast. If your lot is in unincorporated Forestville, Prince George's County rules apply; if it is inside District Heights or Morningside, ask that municipality about dumpsters and right-of-way use.

Can any roll-off company serve my Forestville home?

You can choose the company, but it must be licensed. Prince George's County Code § 21-105(a) allows only collectors or haulers licensed by the County Department of the Environment to collect or transport solid waste in the County (residents may haul their own household waste), and § 21-105(f) requires licensees to take loads only to approved facilities. The County may collect from small homes outside municipalities and contract with private firms, but no exclusive franchise covering roll-offs was found. Ask the company to confirm its current County license.
