On a private Richmond driveway you normally need no permit. If the container has to sit on a public street, the city will usually require a right of way permit, and your provider often files the paperwork. Ask on the call so it is not a surprise on delivery day.
Tell the driver which way the barn doors should face. They can set the container either way round if you ask in advance, and walking debris in beats lifting it over a wall on every job.
Decide where the debris will actually be generated before choosing the spot. On a Richmond tear off, the difference between a good and a bad position is measured in hours of carrying.
If the job will clearly run long, agree the extension before the end date. An unplanned overrun can mean a wasted collection trip, which is billable in a way an agreed extension is not.
Keep the barn door end facing the debris. Walking material in beats lifting it over a wall on every job, and the driver can set the container either way round if you ask in advance.

Richmond dumpster rental questions
Is there a charge if the container is not ready for pickup?
If the load is overfilled, blocked by a vehicle or contains prohibited material, most providers charge a dry run fee for the wasted trip. Clear access on the collection day avoids it.
Do I need to be home for the delivery?
Usually not, as long as the drop spot is clear and you have given clear instructions. Many Richmond deliveries happen with nobody on site.
Can I get a dumpster for yard waste in Richmond?
Yes. Clean yard waste often goes to a composting facility rather than a landfill, which can lower the disposal cost. Keep it separate from construction debris to qualify.
Who is responsible if the driveway is damaged?
Placing plywood under the wheels and the rear roller is the standard precaution and it is normally the customer side of the arrangement. Ask the provider what their terms say.
Can two smaller containers work instead of one large one?
Sometimes, and on heavy debris it is often the better answer. Two 10 yard containers of concrete are easier to price and transport than one overloaded 20 yard.
