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 Town of Hamden (public works or transportation) before street placement. HOAs can have their own rules.
See our dumpster permit guide for what to ask.
Which size fits Hamden projects?
For remodels in Hamden's older homes, plan by weight: plaster and tile fill a 15 or 20 yard's allowance before its volume. Cleanouts of furniture and boxes go by volume instead.
Compare sizes: 10 yard, 15 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, 40 yard, or read what size dumpster you need.
