A Boston dumpster permit is a street occupancy permit from Boston Public Works. It reserves your curb space for a roll-off dumpster and authorizes the No Parking signs that keep it clear for your drop. Any dumpster placed in a Boston street parking space requires one.

Bonded city account required

Boston requires a bonded company, contractor, or individual account for street occupancy permits. Easy Moving Permits files the permit on your behalf, and you will enter the bonded account details during the application.

Requirements

  • ✓ A bonded company, contractor, or individual account must exist in Boston's city database.
  • ✓ Apply at least 7 business days before your delivery date.
  • ✓ Permits typically cover up to two weeks. Need more time? Apply for another permit before the first expires.
  • ✓ Your application needs the number of spaces and your planned duration.
