Dumpster Rentals in
Hollywood, FL

The answer turns on where the bin lands. Keep it entirely on your own ground in Hollywood, such as a driveway, yard, or private parking lot, and the City of Hollywood does not require a separate permit. This covers the majority of residential rentals, including kitchen remodels, garage cleanouts, and roof tear-offs.

A permit is required when any portion of the container occupies the public right-of-way, including the street, swale, sidewalk, or alley. In Hollywood, right-of-way placement is reviewed and permitted by the city's Engineering, Transportation & Mobility Department, which oversees right-of-way permit review and also handles portable storage container permits. Approved placements generally must stay clear of traffic, emergency access, fire hydrants, storm drains, driveways, and pedestrian paths.

Commercial properties, apartment and condo communities, and any project tied to an open building permit may have additional placement conditions. If your project's classification is unclear, or the bin cannot stay on private property, contact your ZTERS representative before scheduling and we can confirm what applies.

Hollywood dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, Broward County landfill and disposal fees, fuel prices, and other factors. Hollywood dumpster costs range from $425 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $715 for a 40 yard dumpster.

Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery costs average about $150 depending on distance, dumpster size, and current fuel prices. Here is an estimate of ZTERS Hollywood dumpster prices by size:

For most renters, the most efficient approach is to have your dumpster company handle the permit. If your placement requires a right-of-way permit because the container will sit on a street, swale, or sidewalk, ZTERS can coordinate the application with the City of Hollywood Engineering, Transportation & Mobility Department, include the cost in your rental, and align approval with your delivery date.

Property owners who prefer to file directly can contact the Engineering, Transportation & Mobility Department, located at 2600 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, FL 33020, by phone at 954-921-3900. The department maintains a right-of-way permit checklist and handles portable storage container permits as well, and staff can confirm the current submittal requirements for your address. Office hours run Monday through Thursday, and virtual consultations can be scheduled through the city's appointment system.

Fees and processing times vary by placement and project, so if you are unsure which permit applies, contact your ZTERS representative before scheduling. A brief consultation can confirm the requirements and, in many cases, allow the permit to be handled at booking.

Once the bin leaves your driveway and sits out on the public right-of-way in Hollywood, including the street, swale, curb, or sidewalk, a right-of-way permit from the city's Engineering, Transportation & Mobility Department is required before the container is placed. The permit ensures the container does not impede traffic, emergency vehicles, or pedestrian access. Applications should precede delivery scheduling, since fees and review times vary by placement.

Approved placements generally must include reflective tape, cones, or barricades for visibility, and the bin cannot block fire hydrants, storm drains, driveways, or pedestrian paths. One detail specific to Hollywood and much of South Florida: many homes have a grassed swale between the sidewalk and the street, and that swale is still public right-of-way, so a placement that looks like it sits on your lawn may still require a permit. When in doubt about where the property line ends, ask before the container is dropped.

For most renters, the most efficient option is to have ZTERS coordinate the permit at booking. The cost is included in the rental, and approval is timed to delivery.

ZTERS serves all of Hollywood, from the beach to the western suburbs. On the east side, coverage includes Hollywood Beach and the Broadwalk, the Central Beach area, Hollywood Lakes with its historic waterfront homes, and the Downtown Hollywood and Young Circle/ArtsPark district.

Moving west, ZTERS regularly delivers to Hollywood Hills, Emerald Hills and the Lakes of Emerald Hills, Highland Gardens, Royal Poinciana, Washington Park, Liberia, Driftwood, Beverly Park, and Boulevard Heights, on out toward Pembroke Road and the Florida Turnpike. If your address falls within a Hollywood zip code, generally 33019 through 33024, ZTERS can almost certainly arrange delivery. For properties in gated communities with their own access rules, or right at the city's edge near Hallandale Beach or Dania Beach, a brief call with a ZTERS representative will confirm coverage and any placement requirements.

If the bin is headed for your driveway or yard, scheduling is straightforward; placements out on the swale or street add a permit step that can shape the timeline, alongside the current capacity of local haulers. Many South Florida providers advertise same-day or next-day delivery, and those timelines are achievable in best-case scenarios. Same-day delivery is generally possible when an order is placed before 10 a.m. and the customer is flexible on size. Next-day delivery is more typical for orders placed later in the day. For routine planning, 2 to 3 business days is the safer estimate. During peak remodeling season and in the period following a tropical storm or hurricane, when Broward County sees a surge in roofing and water-damage cleanouts, 3 to 5 days of lead time is more realistic given high demand.

The general guideline is to schedule as far in advance as possible. Booking three to four days ahead provides flexibility on size, time window, and placement. Same-day requests are subject to remaining route capacity, which may require accepting a different size, paying a rush fee, or rescheduling for the following day. ZTERS accommodates last-minute requests whenever feasible but cannot guarantee them. For storm cleanup or an accelerated contractor schedule, contact ZTERS directly to determine the fastest available option.

Think of the options as a ladder running from a 10 yard up to a 40 yard, and pick the rung that matches both the volume and the density of your debris. A single bathroom remodel typically fits in a 10 or 15 yard dumpster, with the 10 yard preferred when significant tile or concrete backer board is being removed, since dense materials reach weight limits before filling the bin. Master bathroom gut renovations and multi-bathroom jobs generally require a 20 yard. A full kitchen remodel, including cabinets, countertops, flooring, backsplash, drywall, and appliances, also typically calls for a 20 yard. Multi-room renovations and additions move up to a 25 or 30 yard, and whole-house renovations or major demolitions fall in the 30 to 40 yard range. For roof tear-offs, a 20 yard handles roughly 2,500 to 3,000 square feet of single-layer asphalt shingles, which covers most Hollywood homes.

A few Hollywood-specific factors are worth considering. Many older homes in Hollywood Lakes and the beach neighborhoods have tile or multi-layer roofs, and because tile and concrete are dense, those tear-offs usually call for a 30 yard or a smaller heavy-debris bin rather than a standard large box. Storm seasons drive a high volume of last-minute roofing and water-damage cleanouts, so sizing up is wise when debris volume is uncertain. Because South Florida sees frequent heavy rain, keep debris below the rim of the bin so standing water does not add weight; a soaked load can hit the weight cap fast and push you over the limit. When choosing between two sizes, sizing up is usually the better value: the price difference between a 20 and 30 yard is typically far smaller than the cost of a second haul, and renovation projects often generate more debris than initially expected.
