What to know about Alexandria dumpster jobs
What Alexandria's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
Older housing stock
Before 1980 is when 60% of Alexandria's homes went up. Gutting an older kitchen or bath usually means plaster walls, old tile and heavy fixtures, so a 15 or 20 yard with the right weight allowance is safer than the smallest size.

61% of homes in Alexandria are in buildings with five or more units. Without a private driveway, a dumpster usually goes in a parking lot with the property manager's OK, or on the street with a city permit.

On a driveway or other private property you usually don't need a permit. To place a dumpster on a street, sidewalk or alley in Alexandria, VA, check the official right-of-way permit page first:
- Right-Of-Way Administrative Encroachment Permit | City of Alexandria, VA (City of Alexandria, link checked 2026-10-13)
We link to the official page and don't summarize its rules, which can change. See also our dumpster permit guide.
Choosing a dumpster size in Alexandria
Where space is tight, as in much of Alexandria, 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.
