Dumpster rental
in Gaithersburg.

Gaithersburg renters have unusually close suppliers: three of the four companies here run from addresses inside the City. Only Action Dumpsters publishes full prices; Roll Off On The Go publishes tonnage and overage but not base prices. Put the bin on your driveway if you can, because the City publishes no permit for a dumpster on a City street, and plan on the roll-off going to a private facility since the County Transfer Station refuses C&D in roll-offs.

The first decision in Gaithersburg

Match the terms to your project.

Action Dumpsters is the only one with a full price list ($449–$649 for 10 to 30 yards, 12 days, 1–3 tons, $125 per extra ton). Roll Off On The Go matches the tonnage but allows 10 days, charges $120 per extra ton and $10 per extra day, with no base price posted. Selective Hauling rents only 22-ft, 20- and 30-yard construction boxes with 20 days before rental fees start. Next Day Dumpsters lists 15 to 30 yards and publishes no terms at all.

Your local checklist

Check whether your address is inside Gaithersburg City limits or in an unincorporated area with a Gaithersburg mailing address (such as North Potomac or parts of Quince Orchard), because that decides whether the City or Montgomery County permits a street placement.
If the bin cannot fit on your driveway, call City Permitting & Inspections before delivery to confirm the permit, fee and allowed days; on MD 355 and other State routes, ask MDOT SHA instead.
Keep paint, solvents and other household chemicals out of the roll-off and take them to the Shady Grove Transfer Station; separate cardboard and scrap metal, which the County treats as mandated recyclables.

City Code has no dumpster permit or ban at houses; no City street-dumpster permit is published

Gaithersburg's City Code does not regulate a rented roll-off at a house. Chapter 18 (Refuse and Garbage) gives the City power to regulate collection but no exclusive collection right and no hauler license, and its lid rule in § 18-3(c) exempts bins for bulky rubbish; the only dumpster clause in the Code, in Chapter 17AA (Property Maintenance), says that where a dumpster enclosure is provided it must be kept closed. The City's General Permits page lists permits for signs, site work, special events, tree removal and utility work in the public right of way, but none for a dumpster on a City street. Two suppliers' Gaithersburg pages say City streets are permitted by the City rather than Montgomery County; Roll Off On The Go gives City Permits and Inspections at 301-258-6330. State routes through the City (such as MD 355) fall to MDOT SHA. Put the bin on your driveway, and if it must go on the street, call the City before delivery.

Shady Grove Transfer Station: residential drop-off, 500 lb rule

Montgomery County's Shady Grove Transfer Station takes residents' trash, scrap metal, usable building materials, electronics, tires, propane tanks and mattresses. The residential entrance is at 16101 Frederick Road, Derwood (Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Loads of 500 lb or more must use the commercial entrance at 16055 Shady Grove Road, Gaithersburg, be weighed and pay the posted fee. Only County-generated waste is accepted, residents must show proof of residency, loads must be covered, and payment is by card or account only (no cash or checks). Shingles and roofing material are refused.

The Transfer Station refuses construction debris arriving in roll-offs

The County's construction and demolition page says the Transfer Station does not accept C&D loads delivered in open-top containers or roll-offs (or in box trucks and multi-axle trailers). A roll-off company therefore takes a remodel load to a private facility, which is one reason to ask each supplier what its included tonnage covers. Mandated recyclables such as cardboard and scrap metal must be kept out of C&D waste, and usable building materials can be donated through the County's Don't Dump. Donate! program.

Check the source

Household hazardous waste and paint go to Shady Grove, not the bin

Residents can drop household hazardous waste, including oil-based and latex paint, at the hazardous-waste compound inside the Shady Grove Transfer Station (follow the Recycling signs from Route 355). Contractors pay for paint disposal and use a separate Wednesday-afternoon window. Keep paint, solvents and chemicals out of a rented roll-off.

Questions about renting in Gaithersburg.

Who issues a permit for a dumpster on a Gaithersburg street?

For a City street, the City does, not Montgomery County, according to the Gaithersburg pages of Roll Off On The Go and Action Dumpsters; Roll Off On The Go points to City Permits and Inspections (301-258-6330), and Next Day Dumpsters calls it a temporary obstruction permit. The City's General Permits page lists no dumpster or street-obstruction permit, so the fee and maximum days are not published; call the City before delivery. A bin on your own driveway needs no street permit.

Can I skip the dumpster and haul remodel debris to the Shady Grove Transfer Station myself?

For small loads, yes. County residents can bring trash and usable building materials to the residential entrance at 16101 Frederick Road; loads of 500 lb or more go to the commercial entrance on Shady Grove Road to be weighed and charged. Payment is by card or account only, loads must be covered, and shingles and roofing are refused. Construction debris arriving in a roll-off or open-top container is not accepted.
