Do I need a permit for a dumpster in VA?

On your own driveway, almost never. On the street or any public right-of-way, usually yes, and the rules are set by the town, not the state. Ask the hauler first; companies that work a town daily know its rules and many pull the permit as part of the job.

What size dumpster should I rent in Virginia?

Companies here publish prices for 10 yard, 15 yard, 20 yard and 30 yard containers. Size is volume, but weight decides the bill. Every rental includes a fixed tonnage and anything over it is charged by the ton. Concrete or roofing hits the limit long before the container looks full.
