In Wellington the permission that matters most belongs to the hauler, not the homeowner: the village tells residents to rent a roll-off only from a company permitted to work inside Wellington. Beyond that, the work itself may need a building permit, your HOA may have its own say, and manure containers on equestrian properties follow a separate code section.

Six boxes, about thirty seconds. You pick when to be called back, and that is when the phone rings.
Or call (728) 226-7144Wellington's construction and demolition debris page is direct about it. Curbside service takes no more than 2 cubic yards of building debris a week, never concrete or rock, and anyone with a construction or demolition project is told to lease a roll-off container from a hauler permitted in Wellington. The village links a list of those companies from the same page.
That is a different list from the county's. The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County publishes its own roll-off hauler list, but the document says it covers unincorporated Palm Beach County and tells anyone needing service inside a city, town or village to ask that municipality for its own list. A company appearing on the county list is therefore not proof it may set a container down on a Wellington driveway. Ask which permit the company holds before talking size or price.
The container and the project are separate questions. The village's debris page sends residents to the Building Department to find out whether the construction or demolition work itself needs a permit. Take a plain description of the job to that office; emptying a garage involves no construction at all, while tearing off a roof or opening walls is the kind of work to ask about. If a permit is pulled, the debris plan is part of running a tidy site, and a roll-off from a permitted hauler is the plan the village itself recommends. Roofing and remodel jobs are covered on the remodeling and roof tear-off dumpsters page.
About half of Wellington lives in gated communities, and many of them set their own rules about what can sit in a driveway and for how long. Those rules are private covenants rather than village law, so the answer comes from the association's management office, not from Village Hall. Asking before delivery prevents a violation letter while the box is half full, and it also tells you whether the gate needs to be told a truck is coming.
Placement matters more than paperwork. Wellington's debris page warns that material left on property the generator does not own, on vacant parcels, or on village rights-of-way such as canal banks may be treated as illegal dumping under the Florida Litter Law and referred to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. A roll-off belongs on your own driveway or pad, with the load kept inside it, not spilling onto the swale or a neighbor's lot.
Equestrian properties face the most specific requirements in the village. Section 30-153 of the Land Development Code requires every livestock facility to have an approved manure storage area. A roll-off or dumpster holding manure must sit on a concrete or asphalt pad with a lip around it, at least 5 feet from any roof overhang, 50 feet from a public drainage inlet, 100 feet from any water body and 150 feet from a potable well. Since 2013 the village has also required manure haulers to register and keep records that staff can audit. Fencing, mats and old stall boards can go in an ordinary roll-off; manure cannot. See barn, stable and farm cleanout dumpsters for how those jobs are split.
Storm cleanup changes who handles what. After Irma, Wellington crews and contractors hauled 168,602 cubic yards of vegetative debris in a month, but FEMA required each association's approval before public crews could enter gated streets, and those approvals slowed the work. Public collection starts with limbs. Wet drywall, carpet and broken screen enclosures are a private job, and the same permitted-hauler rule applies. The hurricane and storm debris dumpsters page covers that work.
Container sizes and what they typically cost in the Wellington area are on the pricing page.
