If your dumpster goes on private property, such as your driveway or a job site, you normally won't need a permit in Newberg. You will need one if any part of it sits in a street, alley, or other public right-of-way.
The City's right-of-way permit page lists dumpsters and moving containers by name. The permit covers a set time period. If the container blocks a street, police dispatch has to be told, and a container left out after dark needs lighted barricades.
The city code adds more rules for street placement. A dumpster can stay in the right-of-way for no more than 30 days. It can't sit on a sidewalk, in a striped bike lane, or on a major road, and it has to stay at least 6 feet from a driveway, 15 feet from a fire hydrant, and 20 feet from a crosswalk. Its corners need reflective tape. You'll also need a site plan showing all of this, and the application should go in at least 15 business days before the container arrives.
Community Development Planning issues the permit. Call 503-537-1240, or visit City Hall at 414 E First St. Your account manager can help you reach the right City contact and time your delivery around the permit.
One more thing to know: trash and recycling pickup in Newberg is handled by a single private company rather than the City. Your account manager will confirm how the City's collection arrangement applies to your address before booking.
