Roll Off Dumpster Rental in Detroit, MI

Is Detroit an open market for dumpster rentals?

You are free to choose any private dumpster rental company you choose, so long as the business is licensed and reputable. Hometown's pre-screened dumpster rental providers all meet these criteria.

Is a permit necessary to rent a dumpster?

If you plan to place the roll-off dumpster in the public right-of-way (street, sidewalk), you may need to obtain a permit from the City Engineering Division at the Detroit Public Works Department. Your local dumpster rental provider may handle this for you, so be sure to ask them. If you plan to have the dumpster placed on your driveway or other private property, a permit isn't necessary. However, the Detroit city ordinances state the dumpster and area around it must be kept clean and tidy.

What are the most widely-available dumpster sizes?

Roll-off dumpster sizes vary, but the most common are:

• 10 yard: 12 ft L x 8 ft W x 3.5 ft H
• 20 yard: 22 ft L x 8 ft W x 4 ft H
• 30 yard: 22 ft L x 8 ft W x 6 ft H
• 40 yard: 22 ft L x 8 ft W x 8 ft H

Container sizes vary by location. Some rental providers carry other sizes, such as 8 yards, 12 yards, 15 yards, or other sizes.
