Dumpster or Storage Container Permit

The City of Takoma Park Public Works Department is responsible for issuing a permit for placement of a dumpster or storage container in a City of Takoma Park right of way. This is usually an adjacent road. If you plan to locate a dumpster or container on a City of Takoma Park right-of-way you will need to obtain a permit.

A permit is not required if the dumpster is placed in the driveway.

How to Apply for a Dumpster or Storage Container Permit:

  1. Start your Dumpster or Storage Container Permit Application using the MyTKPK web portal by following this link:
  2. Click ‘Create Account’ and enter your information if you have not previously used the system. If you have already created an account, log in with your associated account’s email address.
