Do You Need a Dumpster Permit in Nashville?

When a permit is required and how to get one.

Private property

If the container sits entirely on your driveway or private lot, a permit is usually not required.

Public right-of-way

Placing a container on a public street or sidewalk in Metro Nashville typically requires a right-of-way permit from Public Works.

Surrounding cities

Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro and other cities have their own rules. Contact your city's codes or public works office.

HOAs

Homeowner associations may restrict container placement and duration even when the city does not.

Plan ahead

Permits can take several business days. Apply before you schedule your delivery date.
