Can I Place A Dumpster on the Street In Marietta or Cobb County?
What is allowed?
Renting a dumpster for medium to large home clean-outs and other projects is an excellent idea. We are very flexible about where we set our dumpsters, however we still must comply with city, county and state laws. If the driveway is large enough we can almost always place a dumpster on private driveways and parking areas. Some cities or counties will allow dumpsters to be placed on a curb or in city streets either with or without a permit, however, there are some that do not allow dumpsters to be placed anywhere besides private property.What is not allowed?
Marietta Georgia or Cobb County does not allow dumpsters to be placed on any public property or right away. This is to keep its citizens safe. When dumpsters are placed on streets they can become a hazard by creating blind spots. Keeping dumpsters on private property also helps to prevent unlawful dumping. Although unlawful dumping may not seem like an issue to the city it can become an issue to the person who has rented the dumpster. When there are restricted items in the dumpster the renter could be charged additional fees and may be forced to dispose of the item(s) separately.
If you would like more information on where you may and may not set a dumpster you can always call your local Code Enforcement Officer, or your local Department of Transportation[DOT} office. You can also access any and all city codes and ordinances on the Municipal Codes website. The code regarding residential dumpsters is Sec. 134-288. - Temporary residential dumpsters.
