Private Property vs. Public Right-of-Way
Permit questions often depend on where the dumpster will sit. A container on private property may be treated differently from one placed in a street, shoulder, or other public right-of-way.
Collinsville Temporary Dumpster Permit
The City of Collinsville publishes a temporary dumpster permit application for right-of-way placement. The current form states that a dumpster may be placed in the right-of-way for up to seven full days, with additional partial days for drop-off and pickup, when the listed requirements are met. The form also addresses dimensions, traffic flow, hydrant clearance, barricades, sight distance, and responsibility for damage to city property.
