A container sitting on private property, your driveway or the job site itself, needs no city permit in Little Rock. If any part of it occupies a street, an alley, or a sidewalk, the city's street and sidewalk rules apply and you need permission before delivery.
The more important requirement in Little Rock is not a street permit at all. The city's code says no one in the business of hauling and disposing of solid waste gets access to the city landfill until a hauler's license has been issued by the regional solid waste management district for Pulaski County, with the annual permit displayed on the driver's side door of the collection vehicle. The city also requires haulers to be licensed under state law and the state environmental regulation that governs solid waste.
For a commercial business, the city turns it around: every commercial, industrial, and institutional establishment has to contract with a licensed hauler for storage, collection, and disposal. That wording is open market. It says a licensed hauler, not a particular one.
Call the city's Solid Waste Division on 501-888-4299 with a question about access or disposal. For the street side, your account manager will find the right city contact and confirm what you need before the truck is scheduled.
One container rule worth noting: the city requires commercial containers to have watertight covers kept closed except when being filled or emptied, which your account manager will discuss with you if the container is staying on a commercial site for any length of time.
