You generally do not need a permit if you place the bin on private property like your driveway, but you will need a street use permit from the City of Calgary if you plan to place the dumpster on a public street or sidewalk.
Permit requirements depend on your placement location:
- Private property (driveways, yards): No permit typically required
- Street placement: A street use permit from Calgary is required
- HOA communities: May require homeowner association approval
As a local Calgary bin rental company, we're familiar with all permit requirements and can assist you with the application process when necessary. We recommend placing bins on private property whenever possible to avoid permit fees and restrictions. Contact us for placement advice specific to your location.

Follow these steps for a smooth delivery experience:
- Clear the area: Ensure the placement area is free of vehicles, obstacles, and low-hanging branches
- Measure the space: Confirm you have adequate room for your selected bin size (refer to bin dimensions on our website)
- Consider access: Our delivery trucks need clear access to your property
- Plan for materials: Consider placing plywood under the bin to protect driveways and surfaces
- Check restrictions: Verify any HOA or municipal restrictions in your Calgary neighborhood
⚠️ Driveway Notice: Placing bins on driveways may result in surface scratches or marks. If this is a concern, we recommend placing your bin on a street or other hard surface. New Earth Waste Services is not liable for any driveway damage.
