In Arlington a roll-off dumpster is the workhorse behind two very different kinds of project: the whole-house renovation or second-story addition on a 1930s brick colonial in Cherrydale, Lyon Village, or Westover, and the interior gut of a condo along the Rosslyn–Ballston corridor. One 16'×7' bin covers either — a right-sized roll-off rather than a fleet of yardage options.
Older Arlington homes generate a lot of the heavy stuff: plaster and lath, old roofing, hardwood and tile, and the contents of a basement that's been filling since the '60s. The bin's 2 included tons handle most single-project loads, and everything drops in one container parked where you're working.
We deliver next-day and default to a driveway placement (no permit needed). Renovating rather than just hauling? Our Arlington construction service runs the bigger jobs; downsizing a condo? Junk removal is the same bin aimed at cleanouts.
Typical Arlington projects
A split personality: high-rise condos along the Rosslyn–Ballston and Pentagon City Metro corridors, and leafy single-family neighborhoods — Cherrydale, Lyon Village, Westover, Arlington Ridge — full of 1920s–40s brick colonials, bungalows, and Cape Cods.
- Whole-house renovations & second-story additions
- Roof tear-offs on older colonials
- Basement and rec-room finishes
- Condo gut-remodels
- Estate cleanouts
Placement & permits in Arlington
On your driveway: No permit needed — we set the bin entirely on your private driveway or yard. That's the default, so most jobs need no permit at all.
On the street: Curbside placement needs an Arlington County right-of-way permit — the county's Moving Van / Container permit, which covers temporarily occupying a street or curbside parking. You pull the permit; we point you to the county office and give you what it needs.
Who issues it: Arlington County (Moving Van / Container ROW permit).
Zoned residential permit parking is widespread, so on-corridor blocks almost always mean a street permit. Single-family neighborhoods usually fit the driveway — no permit.

Arlington dumpster rental FAQs
Do I need a permit to park a dumpster on my Arlington street?
For curbside placement, yes — Arlington requires a county right-of-way permit (its Moving Van / Container permit) when a bin occupies the street or curbside parking. You pull it and we walk you to the right county office. If the bin fits your driveway, no permit is needed.
Can a roll-off fit a narrow Cherrydale or Westover lot with a short driveway?
Usually yes — our single 16'×7' bin is sized to tuck onto a typical Arlington driveway. Adam places it on the driveway by default; if the lot truly can't take it, we'll set it curbside with a permit instead.
Can you stage a bin for a condo remodel along the Ballston–Rosslyn corridor?
Yes. In the Metro corridors there's rarely private drive space, so we plan a permitted curbside spot and time the drop and pickup around your building — keeping it out of the way for the shortest window that works.
How much does a roll-off dumpster cost in Arlington?
A flat rate by rental length — $400 for 1–3 days up to $900 for 15–30 days (full tiers live above), the same across Arlington from Clarendon to Arlington Ridge. 2 tons are included, with extra tons $100 each to a 5-ton maximum.
What can and can't go in the dumpster?
Yes to renovation debris, roofing, drywall, flooring, wood, furniture, and cleanout junk. No to hazardous materials — paint, chemicals, oils, tires, batteries, and refrigerant appliances. Heavy clean fill counts fast against the tonnage, so ask us if you're loading concrete or dirt.
Do you deliver dumpsters same-day or next-day in Arlington?
Next-day is standard once you book and we confirm availability for your dates. In the dense corridor neighborhoods where there's no driveway, we plan a permitted curbside spot in advance.
