Sunnyvale dumpster planning notes
What Sunnyvale's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older housing stock
57% of homes in Sunnyvale were built before 1980. Remodels and cleanouts in older homes often turn up plaster, lath, cast-iron fixtures and layers of old flooring. Those are heavy, so mention them when you call: they count against the weight allowance.

Street placement is where permits come in. A dumpster on your own driveway or lot usually needs none, but one on a Sunnyvale, CA street, sidewalk or alley falls under local right-of-way rules. The official page:

Choosing a dumpster size in Sunnyvale
Where space is tight, as in much of Sunnyvale, a 10 or 15 yard container is easier to place in a lot or on the street. Whole-house cleanouts and big remodels still call for a 20.
Compare sizes: 10 yard, 15 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, 40 yard, or read what size dumpster you need.
