The most common sizes are between 10 and 40 cubic yards. There are also dumpsters that are 15, 20, and 30 cubic yards in size. They come in different sizes and, if rented from the right company, can be much easier to use than other ways to get rid of trash.

You should check with the city office in Ithaca to make sure you are not breaking the law. The city says that you need a permit from the Department of Public Works before you can block a public right-of-way with a dumpster, barricade, piece of material, scaffolding, or any other piece of equipment. In the end, this is a question about who owns what: the public or the private. If the dumpster ends up in your front yard, backyard, or driveway, you don't need a permit from the city office. Now, if the dumpster ends up on the curb, sidewalk, or street because there's nowhere else to put it on your property, you'll need to get paperwork from the city. Before you rent a dumpster, you should talk to your HOA or property management company in detail about this to make sure you won't get into any trouble. All of these are ways to keep from getting a fine.
