Maryland / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Pasadena.

Pasadena has no town hall, so Anne Arundel County and, on Mountain Road or Ritchie Highway, the State decide where a bin may sit. Plan on a driveway spot: the County treats any use of a public road as needing a right-of-way permit and publishes no dumpster-specific route. Waterfront cottages on narrow community roads usually suit a short bin; larger lots off Mountain Road can take a 15- to 30-yard box. For a load or two of debris in your own vehicle, the County centers may be cheaper.

The first decision in Pasadena

Match the terms to your project.

The two differ on price transparency and size. Residential Dumpster Service, based on Mountain Road in Pasadena, publishes $450, $500 and $550 for 15, 20 and 30 yards with 14 days, 1.5 to 3.5 tons included, $100 per extra ton and $10 per extra day, but its boxes run 16 to 18.5 ft long. Bin There Dump That's 4- to 20-yard bins are all 11 ft or shorter, which fits tight lots, but it publishes no prices or weight allowances.

Your local checklist

Check whether your street is a County road, a private or community-association road, or a State route such as Mountain Road (MD 177) or Ritchie Highway (MD 2), and plan to keep the bin on your own driveway; call DPW at 410-222-7344 before any street placement.
On a waterfront or cottage lot with a narrow lane, measure the driveway length, overhead wires and turning room for the truck, and choose a bin short enough to sit inside your lot line.
If the job runs past about 60 days without a building permit, ask County Zoning whether its residential portable-container limit applies, and get the extra-day rate in writing, since one supplier's pages give conflicting terms.

Pasadena dumpster placement: keep it on your driveway; a bin on a County road falls under the DPW right-of-way permit, and numbered routes are State roads

No Anne Arundel County page or code section found for this guide sets out a dumpster-specific permit. The County Department of Public Works says a right-of-way permit is required any time you occupy, use or engage in any activity in a public right-of-way, including anything that obstructs traffic; permits come from the Bureau of Highways through the online Land Use Navigator (410-222-7344, dpwpermits@aacounty.org). That page does not mention dumpsters and does not list a dumpster fee, so ask DPW before putting a roll-off on a County street. The County Property Maintenance Code also says a person may not store refuse on any road unless another law allows it. Mountain Road (MD 177), Ritchie Highway (MD 2) and other numbered routes are State roads, so ask the State Highway Administration (410-841-1000) about those. On your own lot, County zoning § 18-17-104 limits portable storage containers in residential districts to 60 days unless they serve work under an active building permit; whether a debris roll-off counts as such a container is not stated.

What matters locally

Hauling it yourself: Northern Recycling Center in Glen Burnie, or the Millersville Landfill

The County's Northern Recycling Center at 100 Dover Road NE, Glen Burnie, is open Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (410-222-6100), and admits Anne Arundel residents free with a County driver's license and vehicle registration. It does not take loads in rental trucks, dump, flatbed, stake-body or box trucks, rental trailers or double-axle trailers; those, and anything from a business vehicle, go to the Millersville Landfill (389 Burns Crossing Road, Severn), where the County fee schedule lists $100 a ton for such loads and $200 a ton for bulky items such as stumps and concrete. Residential waste not covered by another fee category is listed as no charge.

Furniture and mattresses go out with your weekly trash; building materials do not

Anne Arundel County collects up to three large trash items, such as a sofa, mattress, table or roll of carpet, next to your trash cart on your regular collection day, with no appointment. Wood, lumber and building or construction materials are not collected at the curb, which is the job a roll-off is for. Metal items and refrigerated appliances need a scheduled pickup (online, the 311 app, or 410-222-6100) and must not be set out on your weekly day.

Check the source

Bagged household garbage belongs in a lidded can, not an open roll-off

The Anne Arundel County Department of Health says outdoor household trash must be kept in leak-proof containers with tight-fitting lids, and that plastic bags on their own are not an approved container; it cites Property Maintenance Code § 15-4-302, with civil fines starting at $125. Use the open roll-off for remodeling, roofing, deck and cleanout debris, and keep kitchen waste in your regular County carts.

Portable containers: a 60-day limit in residential districts

Anne Arundel County Code § 18-17-104 bars shipping or cargo containers, trailers, truck compartments and similar portable storage containers from residential districts for more than 60 days, unless they serve construction under an active building permit. The section does not name roll-offs, but planning a cleanout well inside 60 days keeps you clear of it.

Questions about renting in Pasadena.

Does Pasadena have its own dumpster permit, or do I deal with Anne Arundel County or the State?

There is no Pasadena government, so it is the County or the State. Anne Arundel County Public Works requires a right-of-way permit for any use of a County road, including anything that obstructs traffic, but its permit page does not name dumpsters or a dumpster fee, and the County code bars storing refuse on a road unless another law allows it. Keep the bin on your lot, and ask DPW (410-222-7344) before using a County street. Numbered routes are State roads.

Can I just take my renovation debris to the County instead of renting?

Sometimes. Residents can use the Northern Recycling Center in Glen Burnie free in a personal vehicle, but the centers turn away rental trucks, dump, flatbed and box trucks and rental or double-axle trailers. Those loads go to the Millersville Landfill in Severn, which lists $100 a ton for them and $200 a ton for bulky items such as concrete and stumps. A roll-off usually makes sense once the job outgrows a few car or pickup loads.
