# Dumpster permit in Sheboygan, WI

Direct answer
Placing a container in the public right-of-way in Sheboygan requires a permit from City of Sheboygan Engineering Division. Your own driveway does not. The city does not publish the fee online, so we are not publishing one either — call the department for the current amount. Apply before you book the container, because work cannot start until the permit is issued.

## Maximum duration

Temporary placement of objects in the public right-of-way for less than 90 days is approved by the Engineering Division, usually in consultation with other departments.

## If you can use your driveway instead

Do that. It removes the permit, the lead time and the expiry date from your project in one move. Ask the hauler to lay boards under the container rails and the truck wheels, because a loaded roll-off concentrates several tons onto a small contact area and driveway damage is normally excluded from their liability.
