At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Flint, Michigan, and the rest of Genesee County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Flint keeps crews busy in a way few cities do: blight removal and board-ups on the north side, rehab work on century-old houses in Carriage Town and the College Cultural area, and new construction and plant work along the Dort and Bristol corridors.
Four things set your number: container size, how heavy the load turns out to be, how many days you keep it, and what the receiving site charges. Below you'll find our ranges, when the city wants a permit, what Michigan refuses to bury, and where Flint debris actually ends up.

Here is what actually moves a Flint quote up or down.
Size comes first, and guessing low is the expensive mistake. One container that is slightly too big beats two that are slightly too small, because you pay for the second delivery and the second haul.
Material weight comes second. Plaster and lath from an old Flint house is heavy. So are shingles, tile, and anything masonry. A 10-yard container packed with rubble can weigh more than a 30-yard container packed with cabinets and carpet.
Haul distance matters here as well. Both of the landfills permitted in Genesee County sit outside the city, one well to the northwest and one to the south, so every load travels before it is weighed.
Finally, the city can add a step. If part of your container ends up in a Flint street or on a sidewalk, you need a permit first, and that affects your delivery date more than your price. Your account manager will tell you which situation you're in.

Start with how much you expect to throw out, then check whether it is heavy or bulky. We carry five sizes.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is built for dense material. Old concrete walkways, brick from a chimney, dirt, or the debris from one bathroom all belong here, because weight stops you before volume does.
The 15-Yard Dumpster takes on a crowded garage, a basement nobody has emptied in thirty years, or carpet and tile from a couple of rooms.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Flint homeowners end up with. It holds a full house cleanout, a kitchen and bath together, or a typical shingle roof.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is the contractor's choice for gut rehabs, additions, and interior demolition. There is room to keep working while the pile grows.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. Commercial strip-outs, industrial cleanouts, and big demolition jobs that make a lot of light, bulky waste call for this one.
Tell your account manager the rooms, the square footage, or the material, and we'll point you at the right container.
A container that sits entirely on private property, like your own driveway or a fenced lot, does not need a city permit in Flint. Most residential deliveries are exactly that.
It changes if any part of the container occupies the public right-of-way. The City of Flint requires a right-of-way permit from contractors and residents doing work in the right-of-way, which covers the street, the sidewalk, and the area between them. The Street Maintenance Division answers questions about those permits at 810-766-7343, and the division works out of 702 W. 12th St.
The permit itself is issued by Building and Safety Inspections at 1101 S. Saginaw St., Room S106, downtown. That office takes calls at 810-766-7284 and opens its public counter Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The city publishes a street maintenance permit application you can download before you go in.
One more thing worth checking: several of the busier routes through Flint, including Corunna Road and stretches of Ballenger Highway, are under Genesee County jurisdiction rather than the city's. If your job fronts one of those, the county road office handles it. Your account manager can help you work out whose desk your placement belongs on before the truck is scheduled.
Framing lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, trim, cabinets, furniture, and ordinary household junk are all fine.
The real limits come from Michigan's rules about what a landfill may bury. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy sets out those prohibited materials and what to do with each one instead. Grass, leaves, sticks, and other yard clippings have to be composted rather than buried, unless they are diseased or part of an invasive species program. Whole tires can't be buried either. Car batteries go back to the shop that sells you the new one, and used oil has to be recycled in Michigan. Deposit bottles and cans belong back at the store.
Asbestos is a special case. Only some landfills will take it, and only when it has been prepared and shipped a particular way, so it has to be handled by an abatement contractor rather than tossed in a container.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, and fuel stay out of every roll-off. Flint and the county run household hazardous waste collection events during the year for that material.
If something on your list is borderline, raise it with your account manager before loading day.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Genesee County has two permitted landfills and neither one is in Flint. One sits at 8335 Vienna Road in Montrose, northwest of the city. The other is at 2361 West Grand Blanc Road off US-23 in Grand Blanc, to the south. The county's planning commission names both as the county's disposal sites, and every roll-off from a Flint job is weighed at one of them.
Some of what you're clearing is worth keeping out of that trip. The Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 101 Burton St takes doors, cabinets, bathroom fixtures, flooring, insulation, working appliances, and latex paint, and the county says residents can drop latex paint there free of charge Tuesday through Saturday. Pulling a few reusable items out before the container arrives can shrink the load you pay to bury.
Clean concrete and asphalt have their own route, too. Modern Concrete Inc on Pasadena Avenue recycles both, and keeping rubble in a separate container usually works out cheaper than mixing it with everything else.
Your account manager will confirm which site your load is headed to and what it costs to tip there before we dispatch.
101 Burton St, Flint, MI 48503
Takes doors, cabinets, fixtures, flooring, insulation, working appliances and latex paint; open Tuesday through Saturday.
3275 Pasadena Ave, Flint, MI 48504
Recycles clean concrete and asphalt, so rubble can stay out of the landfill load.
Most Flint orders can be set up within one to two business days, with the truck arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking further out costs nothing, gives you room for a permit, and frequently saves money.
Five things make delivery go right:
Plan around the weekend as well. Both county landfills keep weekday hours, so a container filled late on a Saturday is usually collected the following week.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster delivers throughout Flint, from Carriage Town and the College Cultural neighborhoods to Mott Park, the East Side, and the industrial parcels along Dort Highway and Bristol Road, plus the surrounding Genesee County townships. Rehab, demolition, roofing, or a plain weekend cleanout, we line up the delivery, the pickup, and the disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, say whether your spot needs a city permit, and give you a straight price 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 runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. What you load matters just as much as the size, since both Genesee County landfills charge by weight. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate before delivery.
Past a load or two, renting costs less. Each self-haul trip means a minimum charge at the gate, fuel out to Montrose or Grand Blanc, and the work of loading twice. A roll-off is filled once at ground level and hauled away when you say so.
Yes, easily. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than dense, so volume runs out long before the weight allowance does.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Michigan also keeps yard clippings, whole tires, car batteries, used oil, and deposit containers out of landfills, so those need their own route. Mention anything unusual to your account manager and we'll find the right place for it.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. Whether it stays the cheapest depends on the load. Plaster, brick, and concrete reach the weight allowance quickly and trigger overage. Putting rubble in its own container, or sending clean concrete to a recycler, usually beats paying by the extra ton.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the rental is priced per job rather than per day. Weight is what moves the bill. Ask your account manager how much tonnage is included, what each extra ton costs, and set your pickup date when you book.
Nearly all construction and household debris: lumber, drywall, plaster, shingles, flooring, doors, cabinets, carpet, furniture, and cleanout junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are fine too and often cost less when kept in their own load. If an item seems questionable, your account manager can check before you load it.
