Dumpster rental
in Fort Washington.

Fort Washington has no town hall, so a roll-off here answers to Prince George's County and, along MD 210, to the State.None of the three companies below names Fort Washington on its own site; each lists Prince George's County, so confirm delivery to your address first.

The first decision in Fort Washington

Start with an eligible hauler.

Yellow Dumpster Service in Elkridge is the only one that publishes prices: $449 to $649 for 10 to 30 yards with 1 to 3 tons and 10 days, extra days at $10 on its Bowie page. Patuxent Roll-Off in Crofton offers the widest range (driveway-sized boxes up to 40 yards) but publishes no prices or weight allowances. EAI Roll Off lists exact box dimensions, 14 to 23 ft long, with no prices. All three are quote-and-confirm for southern Prince George's delivery.

Your local checklist
  1. Confirm your lot is in unincorporated Prince George's County, not just a 20744 or 20749 address, and check your subdivision's HOA rules before booking.
  2. Plan the bin for your driveway: Fort Washington lots are often wooded and sloping, so measure a level spot long enough for the box (EAI's 20-yard is 23 ft) and call DPIE before using a County street; MD 210 frontage needs SHA District 3.
  3. Ask each company whether it delivers to Fort Washington, whether it holds a current Prince George's County collection license, and where it will take the debris.

Construction and cleanout roll-off company whose Capitol Heights location page lists Prince George's County among the Maryland counties served; the only street address on its own site is its Clarksburg headquarters, 24024 Frederick Rd, Clarksburg, MD 20871.

Fort Washington dumpster: no County dumpster-specific rule verified; County road placement to be confirmed with DPIE; MD 210 frontage goes to SHA District 3

The County's permitting and environment web pages refused automated access during our check, and the County Code text reviewed for this guide contains no 'dumpster' or 'roll-off' provision. That is not the same as saying no permit is needed. Keeping the bin on your own driveway or lot is the simplest choice: the 2022 Zoning Ordinance's temporary-use table does not list dumpsters, and its storage-pod limits (30 days, no front yard) are written for storage units rather than debris bins. If the bin must sit on a County road, call the Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) before delivery to ask which right-of-way permit applies. Frontage on a State road such as MD 210 is the State Highway Administration's: its District 3 office (9300 Kenilworth Avenue, Greenbelt, 301-513-7347) issues permits for activities within the State right-of-way. HOA covenants in Fort Washington subdivisions are separate from County rules. Prince George's County has no permit written for a dumpster on a Fort Washington driveway, and its zoning code does not list roll-offs as a temporary use; the 30-day, 16-ft, locked "temporary portable storage unit" rule is written for storage pods, so keep a debris bin short-term and off the front lawn if you can. Any work in a County road needs a DPIE Site/Road permit, so plan on the driveway.

What matters locally

County drop-off: one free load of remodel debris a year

Prince George's County homeowners 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, with proof of County residency. The Brown Station Road and Missouri Avenue convenience centers take household trash, recyclables and (at Brown Station Road) furniture, and homes on County-contracted trash service in Fort Washington can set up to four bulky items at the curb on collection day.

County zoning: a storage pod is limited to 30 days and kept out of the front yard; a debris roll-off is not separately addressed

Prince George's County's 2022 Zoning Ordinance allows a temporary portable storage unit in every base zone without a temporary use permit, but only one per dwelling, no larger than 8 by 16 by 8 ft, for no more than 30 consecutive days or 60 days a calendar year, never in the front yard, and locked when not being loaded (Sec. 27-5303(b)(10)). The ordinance defines that unit as a transportable container used mainly to store building materials, household goods and personal items, and it has no separate entry for dumpsters or roll-off containers; its refuse-area screening rules (Sec. 27-61203(g)) apply to new townhouse, multifamily and nonresidential development next to houses, not to a house itself. If you are renting a storage pod as well as a debris bin for a Fort Washington move or renovation, keep the pod off the front yard and within 30 days.

An open roll-off is for debris, not bagged food waste

Prince George's County Code Subtitle 21 requires garbage to be kept in containers with tight-fitting lids (§ 21-113(b)), so an open-top roll-off at a Fort Washington house is meant for construction, renovation and cleanout debris rather than kitchen trash. The same subtitle requires licensed haulers to deliver only to an approved recycling or solid-waste acceptance facility (§ 21-105(f)), and the County's Department of the Environment designates both County and private approved facilities (§ 21-112), so ask the company where your debris will be taken.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Fort Washington.

Can I hire any roll-off company for my Fort Washington house?

You can choose the company, but it must be licensed. Prince George's County Code Subtitle 21 says solid waste may be collected or transported in the County only by a collector or hauler licensed by the Department of the Environment, though residents may haul their own household waste. Licensees must take loads to an approved recycling or solid-waste acceptance facility. The County may collect household trash from one- to three-unit homes outside municipalities, but we found no exclusive franchise that reserves roll-off work to the County or its contractor. Ask the company for its County license before booking.

Does Prince George's County zoning limit a dumpster in my Fort Washington driveway?

Not by name. The 2022 Zoning Ordinance's temporary-use table does not list dumpsters or roll-off containers, and the ordinance's refuse-area screening rules apply to new townhouse, multifamily and commercial development next to houses, not to a single-family home. What it does regulate is the temporary portable storage unit, defined as a unit for storing building materials and household goods: one per home, no larger than 8 by 16 by 8 ft, up to 30 days in a row and 60 a year, not in the front yard. If you also rent a storage pod, follow those limits; for a long debris-bin rental, ask DPIE if you are unsure.
