At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Auburn Hills, Michigan, and the rest of north Oakland County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. The city pairs quiet 1960s and 1970s subdivisions with one of the busiest commercial corridors in the county, so basement finishes and roof tear-offs sit alongside tenant build-outs. Steady construction on the technology park campuses and around the university adds a heavy stream of mixed debris.
Four things drive your cost: the size you reserve, how much the load weighs, the days you keep the container, and the disposal charge where it goes. Below are our ranges, what the City expects if a container has to sit in the street, which materials Michigan keeps out of landfills, and how soon we can be at your address.

Here is what shapes an Auburn Hills quote.
Container size is the first choice and the one that saves the most. The right size on day one beats a small container plus an extra pull.
Weight is the second. Shingles off a two-story colonial, old ceramic tile, and the broken concrete from a driveway replacement are all dense. A load like that can reach its weight allowance with a foot of air still showing.
Where the load lands is the third. Auburn Hills has a licensed landfill inside the city limits and another one a few miles north, so the haul is short, but the receiving site sets its own charge per ton.
Local rules are the last piece. Your own driveway is simple. A container in a City road, or in a road that belongs to the county or the state, needs approval first. A driveway permit through the Department of Public Works runs $100 if your project includes new or widened pavement, which is worth knowing when you plan the budget. Your account manager will tell you what your address needs.

Pick on volume first, then sanity-check the weight. We run containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is right for one bathroom, a deck tear-out, or a small basement sort. It is also the size we put under concrete, brick, and dirt, since those reach the limit quickly.
The 15-Yard Dumpster takes a kitchen, a flooring replacement, or a garage packed to the rafters. It is the comfortable step up for a weekend project.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Auburn Hills homeowners choose. Finished basements, whole-house cleanouts, and multi-room remodels all fit without a second haul.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for additions, full gut jobs, and new construction. There is room for long lumber, framing scrap, and bulky packaging.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. Office and retail build-outs along the corridor, plant cleanouts, and demolition work are its usual jobs.
Caught between two sizes? Walk your account manager through the rooms and materials and they will make the call.
A container that stays on private property, like your driveway or a fenced construction site, needs no City permit in Auburn Hills. That covers nearly every home delivery we make here.
Once any part of the container reaches a road, a sidewalk, or the public right-of-way, you need approval before it arrives. Auburn Hills does not publish a dumpster-only permit, so the step is a call rather than a form.
The City of Auburn Hills Department of Public Works handles permits for construction, repair, and utility work in the right-of-way. The department is at 1500 Brown Road, open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the phone number is 248-391-3777.
Not every road here belongs to the City. Some are maintained by the Road Commission for Oakland County and some by the Michigan Department of Transportation, and each agency issues its own approvals for work in its right-of-way. The City's own oversized-load permit requires both of those agency permits to be filed with the City request, which tells you how the layers stack up.
The simplest path is to tell your account manager the exact address and where you want the container. They will sort out whose road it is and point you to the right office.
Normal household and construction debris is welcome. The limits come from Michigan's landfill prohibited materials list and from what the receiving site will take.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy bars a specific set of items from landfills. Asbestos, hazardous waste, bulk liquids, lead acid batteries, medical waste, PCB waste, septage, and used oil are all on it, along with empty drums and beverage containers.
Yard clippings are the rule that surprises people. Grass, leaves, and prunings cannot be landfilled unless they are diseased, infested, or part of an invasive species program, so keep them out of the container. Auburn Hills collects yard waste at the curb each week from April into mid-December, in paper bags or stickered 32-gallon containers.
Tires are restricted rather than banned. The state wants scrap tires recycled, and a landfill may only take them after they have been cut or processed, so set whole tires aside. Used oil has to be recycled in Michigan, never poured into a load.
Paint, solvents, fuel, and pool chemicals stay out of a standard container as well. When an item is borderline, ask your account manager before it goes over the rail.
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.
Auburn Hills is unusual in that it has a licensed municipal solid waste landfill inside the city. The state's facility record lists it at 2350 Brown Road, a short drive from most of the city.
There is a second licensed landfill at 600 W Silver Bell Road, just north in Orion Township. Between the two, loads from Auburn Hills travel far less than loads from most of metro Detroit, which helps keep the disposal part of your quote in check.
Neither site publishes gate hours or a public phone line, and the weight of your load decides what disposal costs, not the number of days you keep the container. Pulling clean cardboard and scrap metal out before you load can take real tonnage off the bill.
Your account manager will confirm which site your debris is headed to and go over the charges before delivery.
Most Auburn Hills orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days out gives you room for a road permit if your spot needs one.
Five things that keep delivery on track:
Winter deserves a plan of its own. Snow piles, plow routes, and frozen ground all affect where a container can sit, so talk through cold-weather jobs with your account manager before the truck is dispatched.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Auburn Hills, from the neighborhoods off Squirrel Road and Adams Road to the Brown Road and Opdyke corridors, the technology park, the campus area, and the nearby north Oakland County communities of Lake Orion, Orion Township, Bloomfield Township, and Waterford. We build delivery, pickup, and disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will recommend a size, confirm where the debris is going, and give you a firm price while you are on the phone.
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.
Auburn Hills rentals run $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and climb to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, on a five-day rental. Short hauls to the local landfills help, but debris weight still moves the number most. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Hauling a single pickup load yourself can be cheaper. Beyond that it rarely is, since every trip means another charge at the gate plus fuel and hours of driving. One container covers a basement or a roof in a single pull.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container. You will still have space for a recliner, a bed frame, and a stack of bags. Furniture uses up room long before it approaches the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, lead acid batteries, and asbestos out of an Auburn Hills container. Michigan also keeps yard clippings and whole tires out of its landfills. Tell your account manager about appliances and odd items when you book.
The 10-yard container is our lowest priced option at $399 to $499. It handles a single room well. Keep an eye on weight, though, because broken concrete and old tile can top it out early and bring overage charges with them.
Three days generally costs the same as five, because the price follows the project rather than the calendar. The weight of your debris does far more to your total. Ask your account manager what tonnage comes with your size and what each extra ton costs.
Lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, carpet, cabinets, doors, siding, furniture, and ordinary household clutter are all fine in an Auburn Hills container. Clean concrete and brick are accepted too, and they cost least in their own small container. Clear anything unusual with your account manager first.
