Why We Recommend Private Property Placement — Every Time

In the five-plus years we’ve been delivering dumpsters across Conway and Faulkner County, nearly every residential job can be handled with the dumpster on the customer’s driveway or yard. A 10-yard dumpster is only 10 feet long and fits in virtually every standard Conway driveway without blocking traffic.

Private property placement is also safer for loading. The dumpster stays level, stays in one spot, and doesn’t create a traffic hazard. And since no permit is needed, you save time and money. When you call us at (501) 764-2100, one of the first things we’ll help you think through is the best placement spot on your property.

We place heavy-duty wood protection boards under every dumpster before setting it on a driveway — at no extra charge. This protects your concrete or asphalt and distributes the weight properly. Most Conway driveways handle our equipment without any issue when boards are used.

What About HOAs in Conway?

Some Conway neighborhoods and subdivisions — particularly newer developments near Nutter Chapel, Saltillo, and Lands End — have HOA rules that restrict dumpster placement or visibility. The City of Conway itself does not require a permit for private property, but your HOA may have guidelines on where a dumpster can be placed, how long it can stay, and whether it needs to be screened.

Check your HOA guidelines before scheduling delivery. In most cases, placing the dumpster inside the garage entrance or behind a fence line satisfies any screening requirement. Call us and describe your situation — we’ve worked around HOA constraints across Conway and can usually find a placement solution.

Do Greenbrier, Vilonia, and Mayflower Require Dumpster Permits?
