I had to have one and contacted the city with questions last year. I was told that the city does not allow the moving containers to be placed on the public street at all and that there is no permit availible under any circumstances ever. They also helpfuly told me that on residential streets plano pd is not looking for illegally placed moving containers and that they will not issue a citation unless it blocks traffic or someone calls to complain at which time they will give 24 hours to have it moved. So not allowed but you might be able to get away with doing it anyway. For myselfni had mine placed in my driveway, but I have seen a few of my neighbors put them in the street without any issues.
