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 MD 355 and MD 80 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.
Dumpster Rental in Urbana, MD
Service Area
Dumpster Rental in Urbana
A planned suburb that has grown fast since 1999: newer homes, wide drives, and the first round of remodels.
Urbana sits at the I-270 and MD 80 interchange about seven and a half miles south-east of downtown Frederick, and it has grown fast: the Census counted 13,304 people in 2020, up from 9,175 in 2010. Most of it is modern planned development such as the Villages of Urbana, where a 20 or 30-yard usually fits on the drive.
The work here is basements being finished, kitchens and decks on houses now twenty-odd years old, and move-outs and estate cleanouts. We are down I-270 or MD 355 in a few minutes, so a morning call usually gets a same-day drop. One rule to know: Urbana is unincorporated, and Frederick County keeps containers out of its roads, so it goes on the drive.

Do I need a permit in Urbana?
Urbana 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). MD 355 and MD 80 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.
