Dumpster rental software for Phoenix-area haulers

Phoenix has no dumpster page of its own. Street use goes through the Right-of-Way Management Office, and most details are a phone call away. Here is what the city does put in writing.

Putting a dumpster on the street in Phoenix

Who handles street use
Street Transportation's Right-of-Way Management Office. 602-262-6235 or rmp@phoenix.gov.[1]
Permit needed
City permit records state that work in the city right-of-way requires a right-of-way permit.[2]
Insurance
City Code 31-80 covers temporary right-of-way use permits. Permit holders show insurance with the City as an additional insured.[3]
Permit name and fee
Not published for dumpsters. Call the Right-of-Way Management Office.
Lead time and longest stay
Not published. Ask when you apply.
Container labels
Non-City containers over 32 gallons must show the responsible party's name and phone number. This is from an older Chapter 27 ordinance, so confirm the current text.[4]
Transfer station decal
Commercial vehicles at city transfer stations need an Express Exit Disposal Permit decal.[5]

City rules are from October 2026, from Phoenix: Right-of-Way Management and 6 other sources. Rules and fees change, so confirm with the city before you place a can in the street.

One metro, a dozen permit desks

Local vendors report that Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, and the other Valley cities each run their own permit program, and that some HOAs ban dumpsters outright. A Phoenix rule does not carry across the city line. Put the HOA rule or the city on the project's access notes so the driver and the office see the same thing.

Monsoon work

The National Weather Service counts the monsoon from June 15 to September 30. Summer storms can bring yard debris and roof repair calls in a bunch. When the phone rings all at once, a day plan with a lane per driver and a manual stop order keeps the board honest.

Where the loads go

The city runs the 27th Avenue and North Gateway transfer stations, and trash moves on from them to the SR 85 Landfill in Buckeye. Drivers can log the ticket number, net tons, destination, and a photo when they dump.

Where DumpTracker fits in Phoenix

The rules don't change because you have software. Keeping track of them does.

Permits on the job, with a warning

Log the permit number, who issued it, and the start and end dates on the project. If the permit ends before the scheduled pickup, the project tells you before the city does.

  • Dump tickets and permits are on Pro and Elite.

The spot, drawn to scale

Place the can on the satellite map at its real size, mark the door side, and add access notes. The driver sees the same thing on their next stop.

Phoenix questions

Do I need a permit to put a dumpster on the street in Phoenix?

City permit records say work in the right-of-way needs a right-of-way permit, and the Right-of-Way Management Office handles temporary use. Phoenix does not publish a dumpster-specific permit, fee, or lead time. Call 602-262-6235 before you place a can in the street. Local vendors say private property needs no permit.

Does Phoenix require a name on roll-off containers?

An older city ordinance requires non-City containers over 32 gallons to show the responsible party's name and phone number. Confirm the current Chapter 27 text with the city.

Which transfer stations does Phoenix run?

27th Avenue and North Gateway. Commercial vehicles need an Express Exit Disposal Permit decal to use them.

Can DumpTracker work for a crew spread across the Valley?

Yes. The office plans each driver's day in its own lane and sets the stop order. Drivers open each stop in their maps app and read the access notes. The driver app works offline, and the office can run up to 3 yards on Pro or 10 on Elite.
