At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Hamtramck, Michigan, and the nearby Wayne and Macomb County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Two square miles of century-old housing means a steady run of roof replacements, porch rebuilds, basement work and full gut renovations, and the city's construction rules put the duty to clear that debris squarely on the owner or the contractor.
What you pay is a product of the container size, the density of the material, how long the container stays, and the per-ton charge where it is emptied. What follows covers our ranges, Hamtramck's unusually detailed container rules, what cannot go in, and how fast we can be on your street.

Four pressures shape a Hamtramck quote, and one of them is unusual.
Container size is the obvious one. The lots here are narrow and the alleys are tight, so the size question is as much about access as about volume. A 20-yard container fits most driveways; a 40-yard often does not.
Material density is the second. Hamtramck roofs are frequently two or three layers deep, and old plaster-and-lath walls are heavier than modern drywall by a wide margin. Both reach a weight allowance faster than people expect.
Mileage is the third, and this is the unusual one. The city is two square miles with no disposal site of its own, and its construction rules direct the material out of the city limits. Every load travels, and that travel is priced in.
Rules are the fourth. Hamtramck regulates the container itself more tightly than almost any city we serve, from lettering size to reflective marking to the hours the truck may work. All of that sits with us rather than with you. Your account manager will confirm the tonnage included and the destination before scheduling.

Think about volume, weight and the width of your approach. Prime Dumpster offers five sizes here.
The 10-Yard Dumpster earns its place on dense loads and tight lots. Concrete, brick, plaster and a single roof section all suit it, and it fits a Hamtramck driveway with room for a car behind it.
The 15-Yard Dumpster takes a garage clearing, a bathroom strip-out or an attic emptied of decades of storage. It is a good compromise when the driveway is short.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common choice for a whole-house cleanout or a kitchen and bath done together. It carries real volume while still fitting a standard city lot.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for larger renovation and small commercial work along Joseph Campau and Conant. Framing, siding and cabinetry stack into it well.
The 40-Yard Dumpster handles commercial demolition and multi-unit turnovers. It needs a wide, flat spot, which usually means a commercial lot rather than a residential driveway.
Not sure which fits? Send your account manager a photo of the drop spot along with the project description and they will tell you what the truck can actually set down.
On private property the answer is no permit, but there are conditions. A container in a driveway or on a private lot has to carry the property's address visibly, keep its lid closed except when being filled or emptied, and sit where the zoning screening rules allow.
A container in the street is different, and Hamtramck is clear about who is responsible. The city makes it unlawful for a provider to place or maintain a bulk refuse container in any public right-of-way without a permit from the city, and the application is made by the provider rather than by you. We give the city our company details, the address the container will sit beside, the intended use, and how long we expect to occupy the space.
The placement rules are strict and worth knowing before you choose a spot. A container cannot go within 40 feet of a bus stop, 20 feet of a crosswalk, 15 feet of a fire hydrant, 10 feet of an intersection or an accessible parking space, or 30 feet of a stop sign or signal, and it cannot go in an alley at all.
There is also a working-hours rule. Within 1,000 feet of residential property, a container may not be delivered or emptied between 8:00 pm and 7:00 am. Across a city this size, treat that as the whole city.
City Hall is at 3401 Evaline Street and the number is 313-800-5233. Offices open at 8:00 am Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and at 10:00 am on Tuesday. Your account manager will confirm with the city whether your spot needs the right-of-way permit and will file it if it does.
Building debris, cleanout material and old fixtures are all fine. Michigan's landfill rules and the city's own prohibitions set the limits.
Michigan keeps a defined list out of its landfills: asbestos, scrap tires, lead acid batteries, used oil, medical waste, bulk liquids unless solidified, empty drums unless crushed or filled, hazardous waste, deposit beverage containers and yard clippings. Those have to be separated out before the container is hauled.
The city adds its own rules. Hazardous material stays the responsibility of whoever produced it and may not be mixed into waste for collection without written approval. Nothing that could set the load alight may be placed in a container. Sand, gravel and dirt have their own rules and may not be dumped on public ground without a permit.
Paint, solvents, fuel, pool chemicals and pesticides are out of every container, anywhere. Televisions, monitors and appliances holding refrigerant need separate handling.
If you turn up something unexpected behind a wall or under a porch, 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.
Hamtramck is enclaved inside Detroit and has no disposal facility of its own. Its construction rules say so in effect: the owner, contractor or occupant responsible for the work must remove all construction debris from the premises, and that material has to go outside the city limits or be dealt with as the city's code official directs.
Most container loads from Hamtramck travel southwest down the river corridor to the Riverview Land Preserve at 20863 Grange Road, Riverview, MI 48193, about 21 road miles away. The main office number is 734-281-4263. It is open for solid waste disposal Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm, with an earlier start for account customers, and it is closed Saturday and Sunday. It accepts construction, demolition and commercial material by name, and it has run as a city department since 1968, which is why we are comfortable naming it.
Two practical points follow from that. First, the round trip is real, so a container that is ready for pickup on a Friday afternoon usually moves on Monday. Second, anyone stepping out of a vehicle on that site now needs high-visibility clothing, which is the driver's problem rather than yours.
The city can also designate the route a waste truck takes through Hamtramck to a disposal site. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and what the facility charges per ton before delivery.
20863 Grange Road, Riverview, MI 48193
Owned and operated by the City of Riverview, open weekdays 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closed at weekends.
Most Hamtramck rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. The delivery window here is narrowed by the local curfew, so we aim for mid-morning drops.
Five things that make a Hamtramck delivery go smoothly:
Keep the receiving site's calendar in view as well. The Riverview landfill does not open at the weekend, so a container filled on Saturday will be collected the following week.

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, on a five-day rental. The weight of your debris and the per-ton charge at the receiving landfill move the number most, and the haul out of the city is part of it. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage before you book.
In Hamtramck, almost always the container. There is no disposal site in the city, so self-hauling means a round trip of about 40 miles for each load, in a borrowed truck, during weekday hours only. One container absorbs an entire renovation in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser and boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than dense, so you will run out of room before you approach the weight allowance.
Michigan bars asbestos, scrap tires, lead acid batteries, used oil, medical waste, hazardous waste and bulk liquids from landfill, so they stay out of the container. Paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides and pool chemicals are out too. Televisions, monitors and refrigerant appliances need separate handling.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499, and on a narrow Hamtramck lot it is often the only size that fits comfortably. Watch the weight though: a 10-yard of old plaster or brick can pass its allowance, so heavy material is better kept in its own load.
Three days usually costs what five days costs, because the price is built around the job and the tonnage rather than the calendar. If you need longer than five days, say so early, since the city's right-of-way permit asks us to state the period of occupancy up front.
Lumber, plaster, lath, drywall, roofing, siding, windows, doors, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, furniture and general cleanout material are all acceptable. Clean concrete and brick are accepted as well, and they are usually cheaper when they travel in a load of their own. Raise anything unusual with your account manager.
