A few things decide what you'll pay for a dumpster in Southgate.
Size is where it starts. A container that fits the whole job in one load costs less than two trips with a smaller one.
Weight matters next. Old plaster, basement concrete, and layers of asphalt shingles are all heavy. They fill the weight allowance quickly, so let us know about them when you call.
The landfill adds its share. Southgate sits right next to Riverview, where the City of Riverview runs its own landfill. Disposal costs there, or at another permitted site, are built into your price.
Local rules round it out. A container on a City street or the grassy strip by the curb may need approval, so plan your spot early.

Pick the size by the volume of debris and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is a fit for a bathroom gut, a small garage teardown, or broken concrete from a driveway repair. Heavy debris hits the weight limit before it fills the space, so this size keeps those loads in line.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a basement cleanout, carpet and pad removal, or a kitchen update. It adds room without a big jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Southgate for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that touch several rooms. It also handles a tear-off on most ranch homes.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits larger renovations, additions, and new builds. It holds the lumber, drywall, and cabinets a big job leaves behind.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest size we rent. Contractors use it for store remodels, commercial projects, and big demolition jobs.
Not sure where your job lands? Describe it to your account manager, and they'll help you choose.
A dumpster placed on private property, such as your driveway, usually won't need a separate City permit in Southgate. Street placement is where you'll want to check first.
The City's Engineering office oversees any private work in public rights-of-way. The City doesn't post a separate dumpster permit, so ask before a container goes on the street or the grass strip by the curb.
Your remodel itself may need a permit too. The Building Department says most home projects, including re-roofs, renovations, and concrete work, need one.
For questions, call the Southgate Building Department at 734-258-3010. The office at City Hall, 14400 Dix-Toledo Road, is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closes for lunch from noon to 1 p.m. Your account manager can help you find the right contact before delivery.
Most remodeling and cleanout debris can go in a roll-off. Michigan's landfill rules set the limits.
The state's environmental agency keeps several materials out of landfills. Those include yard clippings, whole tires, lead-acid batteries, used oil, bulk liquids, empty drums, and medical waste.
Tires are accepted only after they're cut in half or shredded, and grass, leaves, and branches belong at a compost site. Car batteries can go back to the store that sells the new one.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. Wayne County runs household hazardous waste collection days for those items.
If you're not sure about something, ask your account manager before you load it.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Southgate's curbside trash service uses carts, and loose bags aren't picked up. A remodel or a full cleanout needs far more space than that, so a roll-off is the better fit.
The closest public landfill is the Riverview Land Preserve at 20863 Grange Road, Riverview, MI 48193. The City of Riverview has owned and run it since 1968, and it takes construction, demolition, and commercial waste. Its hours are posted as Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the main office number is 734-281-4263.
Depending on the hauler and the material, a load may go to another permitted site in the area instead. Your account manager will confirm the destination and explain the disposal costs before delivery.
Most Southgate rentals can be set up within one to two business days, and the truck arrives in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a bit early gives you time to ask the City about street placement. It can also save you money.
Tips for an easy drop-off:
The Riverview landfill lists weekday hours only, so a container filled on the weekend will usually be hauled early the next week.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves all of Southgate, from the neighborhoods along Eureka Road, Fort Street, Dix-Toledo Road, and Northline Road to the downtown district, plus neighboring Riverview, Wyandotte, and Taylor. We plan delivery, pickup, and disposal around your timeline.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll pick the right container, confirm where your debris is headed, and give you a clear price.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
Southgate dumpsters run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. Heavy debris and landfill fees can change the total. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
A dumpster is usually cheaper once a job goes past a pickup load or two. Hauling it yourself means a fee on every trip, plus gas and time, and the nearby landfill lists weekday hours only. One roll-off handles it all at once.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a recliner, a bed frame, and boxes from the basement. Furniture takes up space long before it adds much weight.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your Southgate dumpster. Michigan landfills also refuse whole tires, car batteries, used oil, and yard clippings. Tell your account manager about appliances or tires before delivery so they can plan for them.
Our 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. What you load still sets the final cost. A small container full of concrete or plaster can pass its weight limit quickly. Loading heavy material on its own helps you avoid overage fees.
Three days usually costs the same as five, since we price by the job and not by the day. The weight of your debris affects the bill more than the rental length. Ask your account manager how much tonnage is included and what extra weight costs.
Most household and building debris is allowed. That includes lumber, drywall, plaster, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and cardboard. Concrete and brick are fine too, though a smaller container works best for them. Check with your account manager about anything you're unsure of.
