Dumpster rental
in Richmond.

Richmond households need a private roll-off for remodel or cleanout debris because the City Code says City crews do not haul building materials from private property and bulk pickup excludes construction debris. A dumpster on your own driveway or lot faces no City day limit that we found. Many Fan, Museum District and Church Hill rowhouses have no driveway, though, and a container on the street or in an alley needs a Work in Streets Permit: $75 plus $40 a week, with about 10 working days to issue.

The first decision in Richmond

Start with an eligible hauler.

Redbox+ is the only supplier that publishes prices, included tonnage and extra-day terms together: $380–$480 with 3 or 4 tons and up to 10 days. Bin There Dump That publishes lower prices for smaller bins ($379–$459 for 6 to 20 yards, typically 7 days, with possible mileage fees) but no tonnage. CD Hall offers the longest base rental, 30 days, but publishes no prices or tonnage. WM is quote-only. The footprints differ too: Bin There's bins are 10–11 ft long, while the 20-yard and larger boxes from Redbox+, CD Hall and WM are about 22 ft long, which matters on narrow alleys and short driveways.

Your local checklist

If the box will sit on a street, in an alley or in a metered space, apply for the City's Work in Streets Permit about two weeks ahead: $75 plus $40 a week, plus half the meter rate for each space each day.
Measure the spot against the box: Bin There's bins are 10–11 ft long, and the 20-yard and larger boxes from the other suppliers are about 22 ft long.
Get included tons, the price per extra ton and the extra-day fee in writing from Bin There and CD Hall, since only Redbox+ publishes them.

Street or alley dumpster: Work in Streets Permit, $40 a week

Public Works' Right-of-Way Division requires a Work in Streets Permit for any dumpster placed in the public right-of-way. The current fee schedule (City Code Sec. 24-63 and Appendix A) charges a $75 application fee plus $40 per dumpster per week, with a one-week minimum. Metered parking is billed separately at 50% of the daily meter rate for each space for each day. Send the application, a sketch showing the container location and its distance to the nearest intersection, a certificate of insurance and payment to RightOfWay@richmondgov.com, or apply in person at City Hall Room 110, 900 E. Broad St. The City says issuance usually takes about 10 working days; permits line: 804-646-5171. A dumpster on your own driveway or yard is not a portable storage unit under the zoning ordinance, which excludes waste and debris containers from that definition, and no City rule limiting days for a private-lot dumpster was found.

What matters locally

Bulk and brush pickup excludes construction debris

City crews collect bulk items and brush every other week on your trash day during your recycling week, set out the night before at the spot where you put your household trash. A scheduled 24-hour pickup costs $100 per request and appliance pickup $50, both paid by check or money order to DPW Customer Care. Construction debris, bricks, drywall, pipes, carpet, tires, paint and propane tanks are excluded, so remodel waste needs a roll-off or a private hauler.

Free resident drop-off, but no contractor debris

City residents with proof of residency can drop off bulk items, brush and appliances free at the East Richmond Road Convenience Center (3800 East Richmond Road; Mon–Fri 7 a.m.–3:30 p.m., Sat 8:30 a.m.–2 p.m.). The center also takes household hazardous waste (paint limited to 20 gallons per household per month) and up to four rimless tires. It refuses commercial and contractor items, dirt, rocks and concrete. The bulk page also lists the Hopkins Road Transfer Station at 3520 North Hopkins Road (Mon–Fri 6:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Sat 8:30 a.m.–2 p.m.); the trash page says the City transfer station does not take commercial or contractor debris.

Will the City haul away my renovation debris?

No. City Code Secs. 23-47 and 23-48 say the City does not collect building or demolition materials from private property; the owner or contractor must remove them. The bulk and brush program also excludes construction debris, bricks, drywall and pipes, and the City's drop-off center refuses contractor debris, dirt, rocks and concrete. A private roll-off is the usual route for remodel waste.
