At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Dearborn Heights, Michigan, and the nearby Wayne County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Most of the housing here went up in the decades after the war, so kitchen updates, basement work, and roof tear-offs run year round, and construction and repair work along Telegraph Road, Ford Road, and Van Born Road adds to the demand for containers.
Your price comes down to four things: the size you pick, the debris you load, how long you keep the container, and the disposal fees charged where your load is taken. Below you'll find our price ranges, the city rule for a container in the street, the materials Michigan keeps out of a landfill, and where debris from Dearborn Heights ends up.

Four things move the number on a Dearborn Heights quote, and the first one is the container itself.
Size sets the base rate. A larger container costs more up front, yet picking the right one the first time is usually cheaper than a second haul or an overage charge on a container that ran out of room.
Weight is the next piece. Shingles, plaster, tile, and broken concrete are dense, so a small container can reach its weight allowance while it still looks half full. Tell us about heavy material when you book, and we'll match the size to it.
Where the load lands also counts. Wayne County has one publicly owned landfill, and the other sites within reach of Dearborn Heights are run by private operators. Each one sets its own rates, and every truck crosses a scale on the way in, so heavier debris costs more to get rid of.
City rules can add a step. A container that sits in the street or any other part of the city right-of-way needs a city application first, and the city's own right-of-way form lists a $100 a day charge for using the right-of-way without one. Your account manager can go over your drop spot before we schedule anything.

Pick your size by how much debris the job will make and how heavy that debris is. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest we carry. It suits a bathroom remodel, a single-room cleanout, or a yard project. It's also the one to use for concrete, brick, and dirt, since dense material tops out on weight long before the walls are full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers the middle ground. Think garage cleanouts, pulling up carpet and old flooring, or a small roof tear-off on a ranch house. You get more room than a 10-yard without jumping to a much bigger container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Dearborn Heights homeowners end up renting. It handles a full house cleanout, a basement finish, or a remodel that touches several rooms at once.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits bigger jobs: a whole-home renovation, a teardown of a garage, or new construction. It's a good pick when the debris is bulky and mixed rather than heavy.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It's built for commercial work, big demolition jobs, and cleanouts at apartment buildings or shops that put out a lot of volume.
Still weighing two sizes? Describe the job to your account manager and they'll steer you to the right one.
A container that stays on private property, such as your driveway or a fenced job site, doesn't need a city permit in Dearborn Heights. The rule changes as soon as any part of the container sits in the street, the curb lane, or the sidewalk, because all of that is city right-of-way.
For those placements the city uses an Application for Use and Distribution of City Right of Way. The Building Department keeps it with the rest of the city's online applications and forms, and the same form covers both using the right-of-way and digging it up.
The application is reviewed before it's approved or denied, and more than one city office signs off, so it isn't a same-day errand. Plan on getting it approved before your delivery date rather than the morning the truck arrives.
The Building Department is at 6045 Fenton, and you can reach it at 313-791-3470. City Hall is open Monday through Thursday. If you aren't sure whether your drop spot counts as right-of-way, your account manager can help you track down the right person to ask.
Most of what comes out of a remodel or a cleanout is fine to load. The limits come from Michigan's solid waste rules and from what the receiving landfill will take at the gate.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy publishes the materials a landfill can't bury. The list covers asbestos, hazardous waste, bulk liquids, used oil, lead acid batteries, medical waste, and whole tires. Tires are only buried if they've been cut or shredded first, used oil has to be recycled in Michigan, and grass, leaves, and brush belong at a compost site instead.
The everyday exclusions apply too. Keep paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, car fluids, and anything sealed in a drum out of the container.
Household hazardous waste has its own route here. Wayne County's Department of Public Services runs collection days through the year and a voucher program for county residents, so leftover chemicals and old paint have somewhere to go.
Got an item you're unsure about? Ask your account manager before it goes over the rail, not after.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
City curbside service in Dearborn Heights runs on carts, and the city's own rules say the lid has to close and the cart can't be overflowing. Remodel debris, roofing, and a house full of furniture were never going to fit that, which is why a roll-off is the usual answer for a real project.
The nearest publicly owned landfill is the Riverview Land Preserve at 20863 Grange Road in Riverview, about 13 miles south. The City of Riverview has owned and run it since 1968, it's licensed by the state for non-hazardous waste, and it takes construction, demolition, commercial, and tree waste over a scale with a ticket office. It serves 16 Downriver communities directly, and Dearborn Heights isn't one of them.
That means your container may well go somewhere else, to one of the other permitted sites in and around Wayne County, depending on the hauler, the route, and what you loaded. Your account manager will confirm the destination for your load and explain the disposal charge before we deliver.
Most Dearborn Heights rentals can be set up within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking earlier gives you room to sort out a right-of-way application and clear the drop spot, and it often costs less than a rush order.
A few things make delivery day go smoothly:
Weather matters here too. A Michigan winter can turn a soft lawn or a steep drive into a problem, so mention frost, snow piles, or a tight turn when you book and we'll plan the drop around it.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster delivers across Dearborn Heights, from the north end along Warren Avenue and Ford Road to the neighborhoods south of Ecorse Creek near Van Born Road, plus the surrounding Wayne County communities. Whether you're finishing a basement off Telegraph Road or clearing a rental property on a side street, we line up delivery, pickup, and disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll match the container to the job, sort out the right-of-way question, and quote you a real number on the call.
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.
A 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard container runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. What you load and the disposal fees at the receiving site move the final number. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Hauling it yourself sounds cheaper until you add it up. Every trip means a minimum charge at the gate, fuel, and a borrowed truck or trailer. Once a job runs past two loads, one container usually costs less and saves you a weekend of driving back and forth.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves space for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. With furniture you almost always run out of room before you get anywhere near the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, car batteries, and asbestos. Michigan also bars whole tires from burial unless they're cut or shredded first, and grass and leaves belong at a compost site. Appliances with refrigerant need special handling, so flag them when you book.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. Your real cost still depends on the load, though. Concrete, tile, or wet plaster can pass the weight allowance in a small container fast. Keeping dense material in a load of its own is often the cheaper route.
Three days normally costs the same as the standard five-day rental, since we price by the job rather than by the day. Weight drives your bill far more than the calendar does. Ask your account manager what tonnage comes with your size and what each extra ton costs.
Almost all household and construction debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, cardboard, and general junk from a cleanout. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are fine too, and they often cost less when they go in a load by themselves. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
