Duxbury Dumpster Placement Guidelines: Clearance, Surface & Access Requirements

Proper placement of dumpsters in Duxbury is governed by clearance, surface, and access regulations to ensure safety and prevent property damage. Delivery trucks require a minimum 23-foot overhead clearance and a 10–12 foot wide access path. The approach should be at least 60 feet straight for safe positioning. Dumpsters must be placed on hard, level surfaces—preferably concrete or asphalt—with plywood boards (minimum ¾") recommended for driveway protection. Placement must not block fire hydrants, driveways, or ADA ramps, and a minimum 5-foot setback from structures is required. HOA or historic district approval may be necessary for certain neighborhoods.

• Overhead clearance: 23+ feet (check wires, branches)
