Dumpster Rental in Point of Rocks

A river village at the foot of Catoctin Mountain, with an 1876 railroad station and the C&O Canal at its door.

Point of Rocks sits where US 15 meets the Potomac at the bridge to Virginia, at the eastern foot of Catoctin Mountain. Its Gothic Revival B&O station, finished in 1876, still serves MARC trains, and the C&O Canal runs along the river; work on the canal from here to Harpers Ferry began in 1832. About 1,900 people live in the village and on the roads around it.

It is about thirteen miles south of Frederick on US 15. The older part of the village sits low beside the river, and the jobs here range from cleanouts and remodels to storm and flood clear-ups, where a 15 or 20-yard is the usual box.

Do I need a permit in Point of Rocks?

Point of Rocks 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). US 15 and MD 28 are state highways, not county roads. 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.

FAQ

Point of Rocks dumpster rental questions

  • Is a permit needed for a dumpster in Point of Rocks?
    Unincorporated, so Frederick County rules apply: County Code § 1-15-2(B) bars placing any object in a county road or right-of-way (up to $500 and 30 days, each day a separate offence), and US 15 and MD 28 are state highways under the State Highway Administration. So the container goes on your driveway or lot, where the County sets no rule for a temporary roll-off.
  • How far ahead should I book in Point of Rocks?
    A day ahead is best. It is about thirteen miles from Frederick on US 15, usually a next-morning delivery.
  • Can you help after a flood?
    Yes. Water-damaged carpet, drywall and furniture fill a 15 or 20-yard quickly. Call and we will get a container to you as soon as the road is open.
  • Can the dumpster go beside US 15 or MD 28?
    No. Those are state highways, and county roads are off-limits too under County Code § 1-15-2(B). It goes on your driveway or lot.
