At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Birmingham, Michigan, and the surrounding Oakland County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Much of the housing here is older and sits on narrow lots, so kitchen and bath remodels, basement finishes, and full tear-down rebuilds run all year, while construction and build-out work along the Woodward Avenue corridor and the downtown blocks adds a steady stream of heavy debris.
Your cost comes down to four things: the size you pick, how heavy the load is, how long the container stays, and what the receiving site charges by the ton. Below you will find our price ranges, the City rule for putting a container in a street, what cannot go in the container, and where your load travels after pickup.

Four things move the number on a Birmingham quote, and the container is only the first of them.
Size sets your starting price. A larger container costs more at the front end, but the right size saves you an overage charge or a second trip, and both of those cost more than stepping up one size at the start.
Weight is the part people underestimate. A Birmingham remodel often brings out plaster, ceramic tile, old concrete walk, and cast iron, and all of it eats your weight allowance quickly. Shingles do the same. Tell us what is coming out of the house and we can match the size to the material.
The receiving site matters too. Birmingham belongs to a twelve-city public waste authority whose transfer station sits a few minutes away in Troy, and its published charge is $75 a ton with a $50 minimum. That rate is set by the authority rather than by whoever hauls the load.
City rules are the last piece. A container in a Birmingham street needs a permit, a cash deposit, and an insurance filing before delivery, which takes a few days to arrange. It also helps to know that City curbside service will not take project debris at all: the City says plainly that weekly pickup "does not include any contractor materials" or building materials such as decks, privacy fencing, construction material, and concrete. For anything beyond a few bags, a container is the only practical route.

The right size depends on how much debris the job makes and how dense it is. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest option. It suits a bathroom gut, a small cleanout, or a yard project, and it is the right pick for concrete, brick, and tile, which reach the weight limit long before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits the mid-size jobs that come up most often in older Birmingham homes: a garage cleared out, old flooring pulled up, or a small roof tear-off. You get more room without jumping to a much bigger container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for a whole-house cleanout or a remodel that covers several rooms. It handles most household projects with space to spare.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for larger renovations, additions, new builds, and light demolition. It is a good match when a job turns out mixed debris in volume.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container. It is built for commercial demolition, large construction sites, and industrial cleanouts that produce a lot of bulky material.
Still deciding? Walk your account manager through the job and they will size it with you.
If the container sits entirely on private property, such as your own driveway or a fenced job site, you will not need a City permit in Birmingham. That changes as soon as any part of it occupies a street.
The City code is direct about it. Nobody may occupy a street with materials or machinery tied to the construction, demolition, or repair of a nearby building, or for any other purpose, without a permit from the city engineer, a cash deposit, and an insurance policy on file. A second provision bars placing any article or obstruction in a street outside the permitted route, and the few exceptions it lists, such as briefly moving things in and out of a building, do not cover a container left in place for a week.
The permit comes from the Engineering Department. Call the city engineer's office at 248-530-1850 before you book a delivery date that depends on street space. The City Hall switchboard, at 248-530-1800, can point you to the right desk if the line is busy.
The City sets the permit fee, the deposit, and the insurance limits in a separate schedule rather than in the code itself, and it does not publish a review time, so treat the paperwork as the long pole and start it early. Unspent deposit money comes back after the work is finished. If you are not sure whether your drop spot counts as street, your account manager can help you find the right contact.
Most construction and household debris is fine to load. The limits come from Michigan's landfill rules and from what the receiving site will take.
Michigan keeps several things out of landfills outright. Used oil has to be recycled. Lead acid batteries go back to a retailer or an auto shop. Whole tires are out unless they have been cut or shredded first. Yard clippings, including grass, leaves, sticks, and landscape trimmings, cannot be buried either, so they have to be composted or taken to a compost site. Liquids from a business have to be solidified before disposal, and empty drums must be crushed or full.
Hazardous waste, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of a standard container. Asbestos work is handled under federal rules, and each landfill decides separately whether it takes the material at all, so that one always needs a call first.
The Troy transfer station takes no yard waste at all, and none of the authority's sites accept brush, branches, or woody tree material. Appliances and electronics should be kept separate as well. If an item has you guessing, ask your account manager before it goes in the container.
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.
Birmingham is one of twelve member cities in the Southeastern Oakland County Resource Recovery Authority, so most of what leaves the city travels a short distance into Troy rather than out to a distant landfill.
The SOCRRA Transfer Station is at 991 Coolidge, Troy, MI 48084, between 14 Mile and Maple. The authority's posted hours are Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for dumping, with a weekday window from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. for unloading by hand, and no appointment needed for trash. Every site is closed on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. The authority's recycling drop-off center and material recovery facility sit next door at 995 Coolidge and can be reached at 248-288-5150.
Two things follow from that for your job. The haul is short, which keeps transport cost down. And the dumping window is narrow, so a container filled late on a weekday may wait for the next opening before it can be emptied.
Heavier mixed loads and demolition material do not always go to the same place. Your account manager confirms the destination and the charges that come with it before the truck is scheduled.
991 Coolidge, Troy, MI 48084
Open Saturdays 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for dumping, with a weekday window from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. for unloading by hand.
Most Birmingham orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A few days of notice is better, because it leaves room for the street permit and for getting the drop spot clear.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
Keep the transfer station schedule in mind too. With weekday dumping limited to early morning and Saturdays ending at midday, a Friday afternoon load may not move until the following week.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will match the size to the material, confirm where the load is going, and give you a firm 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.
Dumpster rentals in Birmingham start at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and run to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. What you load and the per-ton charge at the receiving site also shape the total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For most jobs a container costs less. The transfer station Birmingham uses charges by weight with a minimum per load, and the weekday dumping window is only a few early morning hours, so self-hauling means several trips plus fuel and your own time. One container usually clears the whole job in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves space for a bed frame, a dresser, and boxes. With furniture you tend to run out of room well before you reach the weight limit, so the smallest size often works for a single-room cleanout.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos cannot go in a Birmingham container. Michigan also keeps lead acid batteries and whole tires out of landfills, and yard clippings have to go to a compost site instead. Keep appliances and electronics separate and mention 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. Dense material like concrete, plaster, and tile can push a small container past its weight limit and add overage charges, so keeping heavy debris in its own container is often cheaper overall.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as a five-day one, because the price is built around the job rather than the calendar. Weight affects your bill far more than the number of days. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before the container arrives.
Most home and construction debris is allowed in a Birmingham container: lumber, drywall, plaster, roofing, flooring, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout material. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted too, and they usually cost less to handle when kept in their own load. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
