At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Garden City, Michigan, and the surrounding western Wayne County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. The city is almost entirely built out with post-war single-family homes on small lots, so roof tear-offs, garage rebuilds, basement waterproofing, rental turnovers and steady renovation construction drive container demand here.
What you pay comes from the container size, how heavy the load is, how many days you keep it, and the disposal charges at the facility that receives it. Below are those ranges, the City rules that apply to a container and to the truck that brings it, what Michigan keeps out of landfills, and how fast delivery can be arranged.

Garden City lots are narrow and the City has rules about both the container and the truck, so a little planning pays here.
Size is the first decision. Order to the job and you avoid both a wasted half-container and a second delivery.
Weight is the second, and on these houses it bites. A 1950s roof often carries two or three layers of asphalt shingle, and a driveway or porch slab replacement is almost pure concrete, so the allowance goes before the volume does.
The third is where the load can legally end up. Garden City requires the owner or contractor to clear surplus construction material and refuse building material from the site after the work, and it says that material has to be taken outside the city limits or disposed of inside the city only as the Director directs. That is a routing instruction, and it affects mileage and therefore price.
The fourth is the City's own service limit on commercial property. A business gets one two-yard container a week through the City arrangement, and anything above two cubic yards a week is the establishment's own responsibility. Your account manager will work out which parts of your job fall where.

Choose on volume first, then check it against density. Prime Dumpster carries 10 to 40 yard containers.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is sized for a bathroom, a porch or driveway slab, or one room of debris. Put dense material here, because the weight limit arrives long before the walls fill.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage or attic cleanout, old carpet and padding, or part of a roof on a ranch.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual pick in Garden City for a rental turnover or a remodel across a kitchen, bath and hallway at once.
The 30-Yard Dumpster takes a gut renovation, a second-story addition or a garage rebuild, where framing and packaging dominate the volume.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest we carry and serves commercial construction, industrial clearing and large demolition.

In your driveway or inside a private job site, Garden City asks for no container permit. Given how tight street parking is here, the driveway is usually the right answer anyway.
A street placement is a different story and the City sets a high bar. Nobody may occupy a City street with materials or machinery incidental to the construction or repair of an adjacent building, or for any other purpose, without first obtaining a written permit and filing a bond of not less than three thousand dollars. A separate provision says no street, sidewalk or other public property may be occupied for the storage and handling of construction material without an occupancy permit, with the extent of that occupancy written into the permit itself.
Three practical conditions come with it. At least five feet of sidewalk has to stay clear for pedestrians, or a planked walkway with railings has to be built around the obstruction. Every obstruction has to be barricaded and railed, with approved warning lights after dark. And nothing may be placed where it blocks a fire hydrant, a manhole, a catch basin or drainage.
Permits come from the Director or a designated representative on the City's own forms, with a charge set by Council resolution, and they are valid only for the period written on them. The City's information desk at 6000 Middlebelt Road answers on 734-793-1600. Your account manager will tell you whether your spot needs that permit and bond, and will usually find you a private placement instead.
Most construction and household debris is accepted. The limits come from Michigan's landfill rules and from the City's own ordinance.
Michigan keeps a defined list of materials out of landfills: asbestos, beverage containers subject to deposit, yard clippings other than diseased or invasive material, empty drums unless crushed or filled, hazardous waste, bulk liquids unless solidified, lead acid batteries, low-level radioactive waste, medical waste, waste containing PCBs, scrap tires, septage and used oil. Several of those need their own route rather than a container.
Garden City adds its own exclusion for anything set out for collection, naming poisons, dead animals, ammunition, explosives, concrete and dirt among the materials that may not go in a collection receptacle. Concrete and soil are exactly the materials that belong in a dedicated container instead.
The ordinance also treats a long list of heavy and oversized items as material the City's own system will not process, including ashes, cinders, sand, earth, metal furniture, pipe, structural steel, automobile parts, and lumber, scrap wood, cartons and crates longer than three feet. Again, that is a container job.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents and fuel stay out of any standard container, and asbestos needs licensed abatement before demolition. If an item sits on the line, ask your account manager before it goes in.
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.
Michigan is unusual in how it defines the City's own waste system, and the detail matters for a construction load.
Garden City belongs to a county sanitation authority and has agreed to send substantially all of its solid waste to that authority's plant. But the City's own definition of solid waste expressly excludes construction and demolition debris, which it describes as non-hazardous waste from construction and demolition activities including concrete, asphalt, wood, metal and plaster. It also excludes a category of heavier, oversized material from the same definition. So the City's flow-control arrangement does not reach your container, and the destination is chosen for the load rather than fixed by the City.
That is why there is no facility named here. Wayne County has both private and municipal disposal sites, and the right one depends on whether your load is clean masonry, mixed construction debris or a household cleanout. Your account manager confirms the receiving facility, its hours and its charges before your container is dropped, and does it in advance rather than at the gate.
City collection, for completeness, will not carry a project. Residents get one large bulky item collected per week on the regular trash day at no extra charge, which covers a single appliance or a single piece of furniture, and mattresses have to be bagged or wrapped and count as that one item. Beyond that, Garden City requires a commercial or manufacturing operation producing an unusual amount of waste to arrange its own removal.
Most Garden City rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Build in extra time if the container has to sit in the street, because a permit and a bond take longer than a phone call.
Five things make a Garden City delivery easy:
Winters matter on a concrete drive. Clear snow and ice first, and if your drive is older, ask us about setting the container on planks to spread the load.

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 in Garden City runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899 on a five-day rental. Layered roofs and concrete work push the weight up, and the receiving facility's charges do the rest. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates at booking.
For a project, the container wins. City collection takes a single bulky item a week, commercial operations have to arrange their own removal above two cubic yards, and a self-haul means paying by weight and unloading yourself. One container covers the job.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, a dresser and several bags. Furniture consumes volume rather than weight, so space is what runs short.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos. Michigan also bars scrap tires, lead acid batteries, used oil, septage, medical waste and bulk liquids from landfills. Concrete and soil are better off in their own container rather than mixed in.
The 10-yard container is our least expensive at $399 to $499. Weight still sets the final total. Shingles, concrete and brick can carry a small container past its allowance, so dense demolition material is usually cheapest in its own dedicated load.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because we price by the job rather than by the day. The weight of the debris matters far more than the length of the rental. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and the rate above it.
Lumber, drywall, plaster, shingles, siding, flooring, cabinets, trim, doors, furniture and general cleanout material are all acceptable. Clean concrete, brick and block are fine as well and cost least kept separate. Check unusual items with your account manager before loading.
