On private property, like your own driveway or a fenced job site, you will not need a street permit in Greenville. That is the simplest route and the one we aim for.
If any part of the container reaches a street, alley, or sidewalk, the city requires a right-of-way permit. Greenville publishes both a right-of-way permit application and a right-of-way construction policy, and both come through Permits and Inspections at 2315 Johnson Street. Call 903-457-3100, or start from the city's permits and inspections page. Applications can also be filed on the city's self-service portal. The city does not publish a fee for this permit, so ask when you apply.
There is a second rule here that is more important than the permit, and it is unusual. Greenville treats any container placed for commercial collection by a company that is not contracted or franchised with the city as an unauthorized container. Those containers can be tagged, and if one is not removed within a day it can be impounded by the city or its contractor and stored until it is reclaimed. Repeat problems can be confiscated with no further notice. The city's own list of exceptions covers hazardous, medical, special, and liquid waste, so an ordinary construction container is not exempt.
That is not a reason to avoid a dumpster in Greenville. It is a reason to make one phone call first. Your account manager will confirm how the city's rule applies to your address and your project before anything is scheduled, so your container is never the one that gets tagged.
One more detail worth planning around. In the blocks of downtown between the two rail lines, the city prohibits collecting or hauling solid waste between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. every day, so a downtown pickup gets scheduled outside that window.
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.
