Dumpster Rental in Adamstown, MD

Adamstown is not an incorporated town, so Frederick County’s rules apply, and they are simple: County Code § 1-15-2(B) makes it unlawful to place “any structure, fence, post or other movable or permanent object of any kind whatsoever” in a county road or right-of-way, and the only County permit to temporarily obstruct a road (§ 1-15-3) is for utility work. A violation is a misdemeanor with a fine of up to $500, up to 30 days in jail, or both, and each day counts as a separate offence (§ 1-15-8). Where your frontage is on a state highway rather than a county road, the state rules apply instead. Maryland’s State Highway Administration says any work in a state right-of-way needs a permit from its District 7 office on Buckeystown Pike, and it publishes nothing that covers a dumpster. So the container goes on your driveway or lot, where the County publishes no rule for a temporary roll-off at all. If you are in a homeowners association, check its rules on driveway containers before delivery day. Demolition in the unincorporated county goes through the County’s Department of Permits and Inspections at 30 North Market Street, Frederick (301-600-2313), whose published demolition fee is $235.
