Common questions
What if the dumpster stays off the street?
Usually not. Pittsburgh's permit covers dumpsters on the street, sidewalk or other public space. On your own driveway or lot, the city permit generally doesn't apply, though HOA rules might.
Who applies for the street permit?
Annual permit granted to businesses only if no private-property option exists. Alleys preferred. Permit in a waterproof plastic sleeve, visible. Address in 2-inch white permanent letters. Lids closed and locked. Renewed annually.
What does the Pittsburgh permit cost?
Annual: $375 per dumpster per year + $25.00 application fee. Residential weekly and commercial monthly figures not read.
