Dumpster rental
in Silver Spring.

Silver Spring has no town hall, so a roll-off here answers to Montgomery County: keep the bin on your driveway and no County permit is needed, but a bin on a County street needs a DPS right-of-way permit that takes one to two weeks plus a bond and inspections, and a bin on Georgia Avenue or Colesville Road falls to the State Highway Administration. Many Woodside, Long Branch and Indian Spring lots have short, narrow driveways that fit an 11-ft bin far better than a 22-ft box. The County transfer station is in Derwood, so self-hauling a small load means a long round trip.

The first decision in Silver Spring

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That and Action Dumpsters both publish prices with weight included: Bin There's 10- to 20-yard bins run $520 to $595 on its Silver Spring page for 10 days with 1.5 to 2 tons, all 11 ft long or shorter, and extensions at $15 a day; Action's 10- to 30-yard roll-offs run $449 to $649 for 12 days with 1 to 3 tons and $125 per extra ton, but sizes are not dimensioned. Waste Connections publishes no prices and only 15- to 40-yard boxes, the larger ones 22 ft long.

Your local checklist

Measure your driveway before ordering: if the bin must sit on a County street, apply to Montgomery County DPS one to two weeks ahead with a plan showing the bin and its cones or reflectors, post the bond, and meet the inspector before delivery.
Confirm whether your Silver Spring address is in the unincorporated County, inside the City of Takoma Park, or on a State route such as Georgia Avenue, Colesville Road or University Boulevard, because each has a different permit office.
Ask the rental company whether it holds a current Montgomery County solid-waste collector or hauler license, and check your HOA or condominium rules before a bin arrives in a townhouse or downtown community.

Silver Spring dumpster on a County street: DPS right-of-way permit, valid six months; no County permit on private property

Montgomery County's Department of Permitting Services requires a dumpster permit to place a dumpster temporarily in a County roadway or right-of-way; a bin on your own driveway or yard does not need this permit. You apply online through DPS eServices (or on paper) with a plan showing where the bin will sit and the cones, reflectors or barricades that will warn traffic, and pay a non-refundable filing fee; busier roads and business districts such as downtown Silver Spring may also need a traffic control plan. Before the permit is issued you post a refundable construction bond, then meet the assigned inspector before placement and call for a final inspection when the bin leaves. DPS says permits typically take one to two weeks and are valid for six months, and the fee amount is not stated on the permit page (see the DPS fee schedule). Georgia Avenue, Colesville Road, University Boulevard, New Hampshire Avenue and other numbered routes are State highways, where any work in the right-of-way needs a Maryland State Highway Administration permit from District 3 in Greenbelt, and addresses inside the City of Takoma Park need that city's permission. The County permit does not override HOA rules. DPS: 2425 Reedie Drive, 7th floor, Wheaton, 240-777-0311. County zoning § 59-3.1.4 lets one construction dumpster sit on a lot without a temporary use permit while a valid building permit is active, and the Department of Permitting Services says a dumpster on private property needs no permit; if your bin will stay for a long cleanout with no building permit, confirm with DPS first.

Furniture and bulky items: five County bulk pickups a year

Silver Spring homes that receive County-provided trash collection can schedule up to five bulk trash pickups per calendar year, online or by calling 311, by 11:59 p.m. the day before the regular collection day, with items at the curb by 7 a.m.; scrap metal pickups are unlimited for homes with County recycling. Condominiums, apartments and homes whose trash is collected under a private or HOA contract are not eligible, which covers many downtown buildings and townhouse communities.

Questions about renting in Silver Spring.

Do I need a permit for a dumpster at my Silver Spring house?

Not from the County if the bin stays on your own driveway or yard. Montgomery County's Department of Permitting Services requires a dumpster permit only when the bin is placed temporarily in a County roadway or right-of-way; that permit needs a plan with warning devices, a filing fee and a refundable bond, usually takes one to two weeks and is valid for six months. A bin on a State highway needs a State Highway Administration permit instead, and the County permit does not replace HOA approval.

Can I hire any roll-off company, or does Montgomery County's trash contract cover it?

You choose the company. Montgomery County Code makes the County or its contractor the primary collector for single- and two-family homes in its collection district, but it also lets a person collect from those homes under a private contract. Anyone in the business of collecting or hauling solid waste needs a County permit or license, so ask your roll-off supplier whether its license is current.
