On a driveway or other private property you usually don't need a permit. Placing a dumpster on a street, sidewalk or alley usually needs a right-of-way or street-use permit; check with the City of Modesto (public works or transportation) before street placement. HOAs can have their own rules.
See our dumpster permit guide for what to ask.
