Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on where on your property the container sits. A container kept entirely on a private driveway typically needs no permit. A container placed on the street or public right-of-way in Corona requires sign-off from the City of Corona's Development Services Division, (951) 736-2262, and falls under Code Compliance enforcement, (951) 739-4970 or CodeEnf@CoronaCA.gov.

Those are Corona neighborhoods, not separate cities, so they fall under the same City of Corona permit process described above — there's no separate HOA-level city permit, though your HOA may have its own placement preferences worth checking.

Each of those five cities is its own incorporated jurisdiction with its own permit process and department, separate from Corona's. We confirm the correct city department for your specific address before delivery so nothing gets delivered to a street that needs a permit it doesn't have yet.

Those four communities aren't inside any city limits, so street placement there is permitted through the Riverside County Transportation Department, Permits Section, (951) 955-6790, 4080 Lemon St, 8th Floor, Riverside, CA 92502 — a different office than either Corona or the five neighboring cities.

Typically no, across all four jurisdiction types we work in — Corona, Corona's neighborhoods, the five neighboring cities, and the unincorporated county communities. Permits come into play specifically for placement on a public street or right-of-way, not on private property.

A 10 or 15-yard container usually covers a single garage or basement cleanout — enough volume for furniture and boxes without paying for space you won't use.

Roofing tear-offs are dense and heavy, so a 10 or 15-yard container with the right weight allowance typically handles a standard residential roof better than a larger, lower-weight-allowance box.

A 20-yard container is the common choice for a single-room remodel involving cabinets, fixtures, tile, and drywall.

30 to 40-yard containers are built for that volume — framing offcuts, packaging, and general construction debris across a longer build timeline.

In most cases yes, if we catch it early — call (951) 963-3527 and we'll swap the container before it's too full to reasonably move, rather than after.

Thirteen total: Corona itself, Corona's Dos Lagos, Eagle Glen, and Sierra Del Oro neighborhoods, the neighboring cities of Eastvale, Norco, Riverside, Jurupa Valley, and Lake Elsinore, and the unincorporated Riverside County communities of Temescal Valley, Home Gardens, El Cerrito, and Coronita.

Yes — these are five separate incorporated cities bordering Corona, and each runs its own city permit process independent of Corona's.

Yes — Temescal Valley, Home Gardens, El Cerrito, and Coronita are all unincorporated, which means street placement permits there go through Riverside County's Transportation Department rather than any city hall.

No, and this is the one thing worth double-checking before delivery: Corona and its own neighborhoods use one city process, the five neighboring cities each run their own separate process, and the four unincorporated county communities use the county process instead. A driveway placement sidesteps the difference almost everywhere, since it typically needs no permit at all.

For the five neighboring cities, contact that specific city's planning or code enforcement department. For unincorporated communities, contact the Riverside County Transportation Department, Permits Section, at (951) 955-6790. If you're not sure which applies to your address, call us at (951) 963-3527 and we'll point you the right direction.
