Dumpster rental
in Petersburg.

Petersburg's City-contracted trash service, run by Meridian Waste, takes carts, scheduled bulk items and yard waste, but not construction debris. City Code Sec. 94-58 makes the person who generates that debris responsible for its disposal and lets owners hire a duly licensed collector. A remodel or cleanout therefore usually needs a private roll-off. No City street-placement permit was found and zoning sets no house-lot dumpster limit, so the practical questions are driveway space, tonnage and price.

The first decision in Petersburg

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That is the only one of the two that publishes prices ($379–$459 for 6 to 20 yards, typically 7 days, mileage fees possible), and its bins top out at 20 yards and 11 ft long. Meridian Waste runs from a yard on Industrial Drive inside the city and offers larger 30- and 40-yard boxes, but publishes no prices, rental days or tonnage. Neither publishes included weight or overage rates, so get both in writing before comparing.

Your local checklist

Keep construction and remodel debris out of your City cart and off the curb: City Code bars it from bulk set-outs and leaves its disposal to you.
Plan for driveway or yard placement, because no City permit for dumpsters in the street was found and Sec. 98-10 treats street obstructions as a misdemeanor.
Ask Bin There for the mileage fee and included tons to your address, and ask Meridian for a price, rental length and tonnage, so the two quotes match.

No dumpster permit found; keep the bin off the street

No City of Petersburg permit, fee or time limit for placing a dumpster or roll-off in a street or on a sidewalk was found in the City Code (Chapter 98, Streets, Sidewalks and Other Public Places) or on the City website. That does not mean street placement is allowed. City Code Sec. 98-10 makes any unlawful obstruction of a public street, sidewalk or gutter a class 3 misdemeanor, with each day more than 24 hours after notice from the Director of Public Works a separate offense, and the City can bill the owner for removal and landfill fees. The zoning ordinance has no dumpster or roll-off rule for single-family homes. Place the container on your driveway or lot, and call the City (804-733-2300) and ask for Public Works before putting anything in the street.

What matters locally

City bulk pickup is priced by the cubic yard and excludes construction debris

City Code Sec. 94-59 sets a residential bulk-waste charge of $75 minimum for up to two cubic yards of bulk and yard waste, plus $35 per additional cubic yard, $25 per appliance and $20 per piece of furniture. Pickups must be scheduled before anything goes to the street edge, and construction debris, industrial and large-volume waste may not be set out. These amounts come from the online code (last supplement 2019), so confirm the current charge when you schedule through Meridian Waste at 804-748-8324.

Curbside yard waste and bulky items through Meridian Waste, by appointment

Meridian Waste's Petersburg guidelines say yard waste is collected weekly at the curb when scheduled: pieces 4 ft or shorter, 18 inches or less across and 50 lbs or less, leaves and small debris bagged, about 5 cubic yards per load, with no stumps, tree trunks or contractor yard waste. Couches, large chairs and similar household items that two people can lift are also collected by appointment. Construction and demolition debris is excluded from both services.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Petersburg.

Will Petersburg's trash service haul my renovation debris?

No. The City's trash page says construction waste such as lumber, wire, sheetrock and concrete is not accepted in regular collection. City Code Sec. 94-58(c) excludes construction debris from City fees and makes the person who generates it responsible for collecting and disposing of it. Sec. 94-59 also bars construction debris from bulk set-outs at the curb.

Does Meridian's City contract stop me from renting from another company?

The City Code does not say so. Meridian collects curbside trash for the City and calls its service exclusive, but City Code Sec. 94-58(a) lets an owner have solid waste collected and disposed of by a person duly licensed to do that work, after notifying the Director of Public Works, and Sec. 94-58(c) leaves construction debris to the person who generates it. Ask any company you hire to confirm it is licensed to do business in Petersburg.
