Dumpsters and moving containers
If you need a dumpster or moving container in the public right-of-way (such as on the street or shoulder), the following may be required:
- Traffic control permit: Required for any container or dumpster placed on the shoulder of the road. A fee will be charged based on the length of the permit.
- Public way permit: Required by the Salt Lake City Engineering Division.
- Parking permit: Required if the container is placed in a restricted parking area, such as near a parking meter, in a 2-hour parking zone, or in a residential permit area. Additional fees may apply.
- Barricades: All dumpsters or containers must have four lighted Type 1 barricades, one at each corner. Salt Lake City does not provide barricades.
