Dumpster Approval/Permits
Residents of the City of Sandusky, MUST request approval prior to any dumpster being delivered on a City Street. Dumpsters are not permitted in the Boulevard area (grassy area between the street and sidewalk). Approval is not required if dumpster is placed on homeowners property in yard or driveway. There is no paper "permit" issued for a dumpster, just verbal approval over the phone. Some dumpster companies take care of calling the Police Department for you, to get permission. Ask your dumpster company if they will get the approval, or if you need to call yourself. All dumpsters placed in the street, must have barricades placed around it. The City of Sandusky Street dept. will deliver barricades free of charge when you call the Police Dept. to get dumpster approval. A 30 yard dumpster is the largest size permitted on the street.
