What Paterson's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.

Most driveway drops don't need a permit. If the container has to sit on a public street or sidewalk, contact the City of Paterson about a street-use permit first, and allow time for it to be issued.
See our dumpster permit guide for what to ask.
Choosing a dumpster size in Paterson
Older Paterson homes produce heavy remodel debris, so a 15 or 20 yard with a weight allowance to match is a common choice; a 10 handles one room or a load of concrete.
Compare sizes: 10 yard, 15 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, 40 yard, or read what size dumpster you need.
