Dumpster rental
in North Shore.

North Shore is an unincorporated Smith Mountain Lake peninsula in Franklin County, so County Code Chapter 18 and VDOT apply even though mail says Moneta or Wirtz. The County does not rent roll-offs and requires collectors to hold its licence. Rent a bin for a lake-house renovation, roof or estate cleanout. Small bulk loads can go to the Lakewatch or Hardy sites, and homeowner-hauled C&D goes free to the landfill south of Rocky Mount.

The first decision in North Shore

Start with an eligible hauler.

Firefighter Dumpsters, based in Callaway, names Moneta and Wirtz and is the only one to publish included weight (4,000 lb on an 18-yard container, 7 days, $2 per extra day), but not its base price. Bin There Dump That publishes base prices ($379 to $459 for 6 to 20 yards) for its Smith Mountain Lake area but not weight limits, and may add mileage from Roanoke. Bays Trash Removal in Bedford lists Moneta and is the only one with a 30-yard roll-off, but publishes no prices or terms.

Your local checklist

Ask the company to confirm it holds a current Franklin County solid-waste collector licence, since the County Code makes it unlawful to let an unlicensed collector haul from your property.
Walk your drive before booking: measure the turn-in from Scruggs Road or your side road, check slope and overhead limbs, and keep the bin off the state right-of-way unless VDOT's Bedford Residency has approved it.
If your home is in the Waterfront or another lake association, get the association's okay on where the container sits and for how long, and if you are a part-time owner, arrange for someone to watch the fill line and call for pickup.

On the peninsula, keep it on your lot or call VDOT's Bedford Residency

Neither Franklin County nor its Code sets out a permit for a dumpster on a road, and the parent's Code-wide search found no zoning rule on dumpsters at houses (the only County dumpster provisions concern County-owned dumpsters and a racetrack event). Scruggs Road is State Route 616, part of the VDOT system, and numbered secondary routes in a Virginia county are likewise VDOT's, so anything placed in their right-of-way falls under VDOT's land use permit regulations: a trash receptacle on a road that is not limited-access may be allowed under a single use permit, set as close to the right-of-way line as possible, with written permission from the adjoining owners (24VAC30-151-640), and the single use permit application fee is $100 (24VAC30-151-710). That regulation does not name short-term roll-offs, so call first. Franklin County roads are handled by VDOT's Bedford Residency in the Salem District (540-586-7910), not by Bedford County. Private and association roads on the peninsula are not VDOT's, so ask the road's owner there. Lake lots can be steep and wooded with narrow drives, so measure the turn-in and overhead clearance before choosing a size, and if you live in the Waterfront or another association community, ask the association about container placement and time limits before delivery.

What matters locally

Lakewatch and Hardy collection sites take bulk items, not contractor loads

The nearest County collection sites to the peninsula are Lakewatch (145 Lakewatch Center Drive, Moneta) and Hardy (7100 Hardy Road, Hardy); Burnt Chimney (50 Burnt Chimney Road, Wirtz) is another option. Franklin County lists its manned sites as open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, with large roll-offs at most sites for furniture and other bulk waste and scrap metal. Hardy and Lakewatch also take small amounts of household brush, but truck-and-trailer loads of brush must go to the landfill and trailer loads of waste can be turned away. Attendants may ask for proof of Franklin County residency or tax payment, and commercial businesses may not use the sites.

County landfill south of Rocky Mount: free for a homeowner's own C&D

Franklin County's landfill is at 9340 Virgil H. Goode Highway (Route 220 South), about five miles south of Rocky Mount and on the far side of the county seat from the lake. The County's Solid Waste page lists it as open 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and 7 a.m. to noon Saturday (closed Sunday). Homeowners may bring construction and demolition debris in their own vehicle at no charge; commercial and contractor construction waste is $55 a ton, and new-construction debris and shingles are $55 a ton for everyone. Tires are $1 to $10 each depending on type, and lead-acid batteries are not accepted. The County's FAQ still shows an older $50-a-ton figure and says payment is cash or check only, so call 540-489-1600 before a heavy load.

The County doesn't rent containers, but it does licence collectors

Franklin County's own FAQ says it does not rent roll-offs or large containers to individuals and points residents to private companies. Chapter 18 of the County Code requires anyone who collects or disposes of solid waste for pay to hold a County licence issued by the county administrator with Board of Supervisors approval, makes it unlawful to let an unlicensed collector take solid waste from your property, and has licensed collectors haul to an approved landfill. Construction and demolition waste may not go in County green boxes, and commercial or non-household waste may never go in County-owned dumpsters.

Before you book

Questions about renting in North Shore.

My North Shore address says Moneta. Do Bedford County's rules apply?

No. Moneta and Wirtz are only the post offices that serve the peninsula; the North Shore census-designated place lies wholly in Franklin County, with the Roanoke River arm of the lake as the Bedford County line. Franklin County's Code governs who may haul your waste, and Franklin County's collection sites (such as Lakewatch on Lakewatch Center Drive, itself addressed Moneta) and landfill are the ones you may use.

Sources: [1] · [6] · [3]

Can I skip the rental and haul my own remodeling debris?

Often, yes. Franklin County's landfill on Route 220 south of Rocky Mount takes construction and demolition debris from homeowners in their own vehicles at no charge, though new-construction debris and shingles cost $55 a ton for everyone and payment is cash or check. The lake-area collection sites are for household bulk items and small brush loads, not trailer loads or construction waste. If a contractor is generating the debris, a rented container from a County-licensed company is usually the simpler route.
