Piqua gives you 30 days on the street

In Piqua you need a Dumpster Permit to put one on the street or in an alley.

You get one dumpster, and it can stay up to 30 days in a row.

The city wants a drawing with your application. Nothing fancy. Show where the dumpster will sit, then mark how far it is from alleys, fire hydrants, driveways, street signs and the nearest corner.

Where can it go? Right by the place where the work is. That can be out front, or behind it, or along the side.

You'll need a barricade at each end. The setup has to follow the Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The permit form has pictures of the cones and barricades the city accepts.

What if something gets damaged?

You pay for it. That goes for the curb and the sidewalk. It goes for the street itself and any utilities under it, too.

What does it cost?

The form doesn't show a fee. Call the Engineering Division at 937-778-2044 and ask. Their office is at 201 W Water St.
