On private property, such as your own driveway or a fenced job site, Carson City does not require a permit for a container.
A street or sidewalk area is a different matter, and the rule is specific. Carson City's code says that anyone erecting or repairing a building has to get a permit from the building official before temporarily obstructing part of a highway. If that obstruction will run more than seven days, and it does not leave the roadway plus six feet of sidewalk clear, the Board of Supervisors has to review and authorize the permit itself. Plan around that seven-day mark rather than against it.
The City also takes a removal power. Anything placed in the public right-of-way for storage can be removed by Public Works five days after notice, with the cost recovered and a charge of $100.00 for every day it stays past the deadline. That one is in the City's municipal code, and it is a good reason to get the paperwork done first.
There is a bigger rule here, and it is the one to check before anything else. Carson City has granted an exclusive franchise for the collection and disposal of solid waste and recyclable materials inside the city to a single company, and the City's own definition of solid waste includes construction waste and demolition waste by name. The code publishes no exception for a temporary construction container, and the franchise agreement itself is held by the Public Works Department at 3505 Butti Way rather than printed in the code. We do not promise around that rule, and we do not guess at it.
For questions about an address, Carson City Public Works takes calls on 775-887-2355, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Your account manager will make that call with you and will tell you exactly what the City says.
Before you book, confirm with the city that a container can be placed for your job at your address. Rules differ from city to city and they change. Your Prime Dumpster account manager will help you check, and will tell you plainly what your options are here.
