City — Augusta-Richmond County (consolidated) · about 5 miles from Augusta. Not on your own driveway or lot. In a street, Augusta requires a Permission to Impede Right of Way request through the Engineering Department’s Traffic Division (706-821-1847), with 24 hours’ notice, a traffic-control detail, proof of insurance and a light on the container overnight. We walk you through it.
Where We Deliver
Service Area
Augusta, the CSRA and both sides of the river
We deliver across Augusta-Richmond County, from downtown, Olde Town and Summerville to West Augusta, south Augusta and Hephzibah, across Columbia County to Martinez, Evans, Grovetown, Harlem and Appling, and over the Savannah River to North Augusta, Aiken, Graniteville and Clearwater in South Carolina, along Gordon Highway, Deans Bridge Road, Washington Road, the Bobby Jones Expressway and I-20. Each page below covers the local dumpster rule, the office to call, the neighbourhoods we work in and the roads we use to get there.
Unincorporated — Columbia County · about 9 miles from Augusta. No permit on private property, and Columbia County publishes no dumpster permit for the street either. County rules keep appliances, mattresses, tyres and air conditioners out of the container and want the load at a permitted facility within fourteen days.
Unincorporated — Columbia County seat · about 14 miles from Augusta. No permit on private property, and Columbia County publishes no dumpster permit for the street. Your HOA covenants are usually the real rule in Evans, so check them before you book.
City — Columbia County · about 12 miles from Augusta. No permit on private property. Grovetown publishes nothing about containers in the street, so if a job needs the street we check with the city before the truck rolls rather than guess.
City — Richmond County · about 12 miles from Augusta. No permit on private property, which is where nearly every Hephzibah container goes, and the city publishes nothing about containers in the right-of-way.
City — Richmond County · about 17 miles from Augusta. No permit on private property, and Blythe’s published ordinances say nothing about containers or street obstructions. We keep the container clear of any corner sight line.
City — Columbia County · about 19 miles from Augusta. No permit on private property. Harlem publishes no container rule, but asks for notice to the city manager’s office before a street or footpath is obstructed, so we speak to the city first if the job needs the street.
Unincorporated — Columbia County · about 25 miles from Augusta. No permit on private property, and Columbia County publishes no dumpster permit for the street. On the lake side the practical limit is the access road, so send us a photo of the approach.
City — Aiken County, SC · about 5 miles from Augusta. No permit on private property. For a street, park or footpath, North Augusta requires written notice to the Public Safety Director at least two hours beforehand, and again when the container comes out. We handle the notice for you.
City — Aiken County seat, SC · about 20 miles from Augusta. Nothing published for private property. Aiken’s code bars leaving an object in a street or right-of-way except as part of a city-permitted construction project, capped at twenty feet from the pavement, so we plan Aiken jobs for the driveway, the yard or a hard standing.
Unincorporated — Aiken County, SC · about 15 miles from Augusta. No county dumpster permit. Nothing may be placed on county property or a county easement without the county administrator’s written permission, and many valley streets are SCDOT roads with their own encroachment permit, so we keep the container on private property.
Unincorporated — Aiken County, SC · about 8 miles from Augusta. No county dumpster permit. Aiken County requires the county administrator’s written permission before anything sits on county property or an easement, and many streets are SCDOT roads with their own encroachment permit, so the container goes on your driveway or lot.
Dumpster permits in Augusta-Richmond County
On a private driveway or lot, no permit. In a City street or on the sidewalk, Augusta treats the container as an obstruction of the right-of-way: you file a Permission to Impede Right of Way request with the Engineering Department’s Traffic Division (the form’s work types include “Place Dumpster”), giving the nearest address, the dates, a 24-hour phone number, a traffic-control detail and proof of insurance, and you notify the Traffic Division on 706-821-1847 at least 24 hours before the container goes in and again when it comes out. City Code Sec. 3-8-3 wants a light on it from dark to daylight, Sec. 3-8-4 caps it at a third of the sidewalk or five feet of street beyond the curb, and an unpermitted obstruction can cost up to $1,000 and 60 days, each day a separate offence. No fee or maximum duration is published. Our permit guide walks through the whole process.
Outside the city the rules change at every boundary, which is why each town page above states its own. In short: Columbia County publishes no dumpster permit, so Martinez, Evans and Appling come down to your driveway and your HOA; Grovetown requires construction containers on the lot, not the street; Harlem requires a city permit for a street obstruction; Hephzibah and Blythe publish nothing; North Augusta wants two hours’ written notice to the Public Safety Director; Aiken allows a street placement only for a city-permitted construction project; and unincorporated Aiken County (Graniteville, Clearwater) requires the county administrator’s permission for anything on county property. Where a place publishes nothing, we say so and keep the container on private property.
