If you’re planning a home renovation, cleanout, or construction project in New Jersey, renting a dumpster is often essential. But before you book, you might be wondering:
Do I need a permit to rent a dumpster in NJ?
The answer: It depends on where you’re placing it.
In this quick guide, Kapreme Dumpster Rentals breaks down when you need a permit, when you don’t, and how to avoid delays when renting a dumpster in Bloomfield and surrounding areas
You Need a Permit If the Dumpster Will Be Placed On:
A public street
A sidewalk or public easement
Municipal property (like a parkway or curbside in some towns)
Placing a dumpster in these areas may block traffic or pedestrians — which means most cities and towns in NJ will require a temporary permit.
✔️ In Bloomfield, NJ, for example, a Right-of-Way permit may be needed if your dumpster will sit on the street.
You Usually DON’T Need a Permit If Placing the Dumpster On:
Your private driveway
Residential property or yard
Commercial lots or designated construction zones (with proper approval)
Since you control your private property, no municipal permit is needed in most cases — which is exactly why Kapreme’s driveway-friendly dumpsters are a popular solution.
