Disclaimer

General information only

The guides, size charts, weight figures and regulatory summaries on this site are written to be genuinely useful and are researched carefully. They are still general information. They are not legal advice, engineering advice, environmental compliance advice or insurance advice, and they are not a substitute for confirming requirements with the relevant authority.

Weights, sizes and capacities

Container dimensions differ between manufacturers, and the weight of a given material varies considerably with moisture, age and composition. Every figure published here is an approximate working number intended to help you choose a size, not a specification. The dimensions and allowance that apply to your rental are the ones confirmed on your quote.

Regulations and permits

Placement rules differ across the 16 communities we cover, because they genuinely sit under three different kinds of local government. Glendale is an incorporated city that administers its own encroachment permit process under Glendale Municipal Code Chapter 12.08 for anything placed in a public street or right-of-way; Burbank, Pasadena, La Cañada Flintridge and South Pasadena are each their own incorporated city with their own separate process; the Los Angeles neighborhoods we cover fall under City of Los Angeles permitting; and Montrose and La Crescenta, as unincorporated Los Angeles County communities, fall under the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works. A container placed entirely on private property — a driveway or yard — typically does not require a permit anywhere in the service area, but street or right-of-way placement generally does. We do not publish a specific permit product name or fee for any jurisdiction on this site, because those details change and are best confirmed directly with the relevant permit office before you book. For a Glendale address, that is the City of Glendale Public Works Permit Processing Center; for other addresses, confirm with that city's public works department, the City of Los Angeles, or the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works as applicable.

Hazardous materials

Asbestos and lead paint work in California is regulated, and above defined thresholds must be carried out by licensed contractors with proper testing and notification — a rule that matters here given how many older homes across the Tri-Cities area are being renovated. The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and CalRecycle both regulate hazardous and solid waste statewide. Nothing on this site should be read as suggesting that such material may be placed in a container or handled without the required testing, licensing and notification.

Third-party links

We link to municipal, county, state and federal resources because they are authoritative and useful. We do not control their content and are not responsible for it.
