Danville rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Danville, a portable storage container in the street needs a Right-of-Way Use Agreement from Public Works first, and pods are generally limited to seven consecutive days.
In Danville, a city policy dated August 31, 2026 requires a Right-of-Way Use Agreement before any dumpster or portable storage unit goes in the public right-of-way, allows pods for up to seven consecutive days, and charges nothing for the first 15 days in residential areas. City code limits RVs, boats and trailers to two hours on residential streets unless they are actively loading or unloading, and bans backing to the curb except where marked. Residents in permit-parking areas can get guest passes good for up to 72 hours.
