Dumpster Rental in Hyattsville, Maryland

If your container is going in the driveway or on private property, no permit is needed. Street placement is a different story.

The City of Hyattsville requires a Street Access Permit before placing a dumpster in the public right-of-way. The permit costs $50 and is issued by the Hyattsville Public Works Department at 4633 Arundel Place. You can reach them at (301) 985-5032, Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM.

Confirm with your rental provider whether they handle the permit or whether you need to apply directly before delivery. Placing a container without the required permit risks a fine or forced removal — neither is cheap when you're mid-project.

Hyattsville sits in a competitive rental market, with multiple regional and local carriers serving ZIP codes 20781, 20782, and 20783. Rates are higher than rural Maryland but comparable to nearby Silver Spring and College Park.

• 10-yard: $350–$570 — small cleanouts, attic junk, single-room gut-outs
• 15-yard: $400–$600 — moderate remodels, flooring projects
• 20-yard: $450–$650 — full renovations, roofing tear-offs, estate cleanouts
• 30-yard: $550–$720 — large construction, whole-home cleanouts
• 40-yard: $572–$835 — commercial projects, major demolition

Most standard rentals include a 7-day period. Weight allowances range from roughly 2 tons on a 10-yard to 6 tons on a 40-yard. Overage fees run $50–$80 per ton above the included limit, tied to Prince George's County tipping rates. Heavy materials like concrete, roofing shingles, and soil hit weight limits well before the container looks full — if your load is mostly heavy debris, ask about heavy-material pricing up front.

Residential waste from Hyattsville is processed through the Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill at 11611 White House Road in Upper Marlboro. The facility accepts municipal solid waste from Prince George's County residents and businesses and is open Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM.

Commercial construction and demolition (C&D) debris — the kind that fills most roll-off containers — is routed to licensed private transfer stations, not the county landfill. Your rental company manages that disposal chain, so you don't need to coordinate it separately.

Maryland MDE regulations prohibit disposing of clean wood, metals, and concrete in mixed C&D waste. If your project generates significant quantities of these materials, ask whether your provider handles them separately — some do, some don't.

Most household and renovation materials are acceptable: furniture, appliances (with refrigerants removed), drywall, lumber, flooring, roofing shingles, carpet, and general junk. Hyattsville's older housing stock — a lot of it built pre-1960 — also means lead paint debris and asbestos-containing materials from pre-1978 renovations require licensed contractor handling and cannot go in a standard roll-off.

Prohibited items in Prince George's County:

• Hazardous materials — paints, solvents, motor oil, pesticides, pool chemicals
• Batteries (automotive and large format)
• Electronics and e-waste (drop off at Brown Station Road Convenience Center)
• Tires
• Asbestos-containing materials
• Medical or biohazard waste
• Appliances with intact refrigerants (A/C units, refrigerators)
• Fluorescent bulbs

Yard waste in plastic bags has been banned in Prince George's County since January 2014. Use paper yard waste bags or designated containers. When in doubt about any item, call your provider before it goes in the bin — prohibited material fees are steep and non-negotiable.
