At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Lansing, Michigan, and nearby parts of Ingham and Eaton counties in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older homes in south Lansing and the Eastside, rental turnovers, basement cleanouts after spring rains, and ongoing construction around downtown and REO Town keep containers busy.
What you pay depends on the size you choose, the type of debris, the length of your rental, and the disposal fees at the landfill. Here, we cover our price ranges, Lansing's firm rule on dumpsters in the street, what Michigan keeps out of landfills, and where your debris goes.

A handful of local factors shape dumpster pricing in Lansing.
First is the size. Larger containers cost more, but picking one that fits the whole job keeps you from paying for a second haul.
Second is weight. Plaster walls, wet basement carpet, and old roofing are common in Lansing's older neighborhoods, and they get heavy fast. Heavy loads use up your included tonnage before the container is full.
Third is the landfill. Disposal fees are set by the landfill, and those costs are built into your quote. Loads that include banned items can be turned away, which adds cost and time.
Fourth is placement. Lansing won't permit dumpsters in the street at all, so you'll need space on your own property. Your account manager can help you plan the spot before delivery.

Choose a size based on how much debris you'll create and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, a small basement cleanout, or tearing out an old deck. It's also the pick for brick, block, or concrete, since heavy loads reach the weight limit before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a garage cleanout, new flooring on one level, or stripping a small roof. It offers more room without the price of a 20.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Lansing for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that reach several rooms. Most household projects fit in it.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits large renovations, additions, and new homes. It's a smart choice when a crew is removing plaster, trim, and cabinets all at once.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest size. It's made for commercial construction, full demolitions, and large factory or warehouse cleanouts.

When your dumpster sits on private property, like a driveway or side yard, you generally won't need a City permit in Lansing. That's the only option for most projects, because the City won't allow dumpsters in the street.
The City requires a right-of-way permit from the Department of Public Service for construction work in a street or on a sidewalk. But City code says that permit won't be issued for dumpster placement, and nothing can be left in the right-of-way without the Public Service Director's written approval. In practice, your container needs to stay on your property.
You can find the City's right-of-way forms on its permits page. For questions, call the Public Service Department at 517-483-4455. Your account manager can help you find the right contact and a workable spot on your lot.
Most household and building debris is fine. The limits come from Michigan's landfill law.
Michigan keeps several items out of landfills. You can't send used oil, lead-acid batteries, regulated hazardous waste, bulk liquids, or anything with PCBs. Landfills also won't take more than a small amount of whole car tires, yard waste, or empty bottles and cans that carry a deposit.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. Asbestos can only go to a landfill set up to handle it under federal rules.
Yard waste is the one that surprises people. Leaves, grass, and brush from a fall cleanup should go to a compost program instead of your dumpster.
If you're unsure about an item, ask your account manager before you load it.
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.
The City of Lansing doesn't run its own landfill. Loads from the area generally go to privately run landfills nearby, including one at 16980 Wood Road on the north edge of Lansing in Clinton County, listed by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.
Every licensed landfill in Michigan follows the same state rules on banned items, so sorting your load before it goes out keeps it from being turned away.
Your account manager can confirm which facility your debris is headed to and explain any fees before delivery.
Most Lansing rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with your container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Since the container has to fit on your property, booking a few days ahead gives you time to clear the driveway and plan the spot.
These tips help things go smoothly:
Landfill hours can change with the seasons and holidays, so let us know early if you need your container picked up before a long weekend.

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.
Lansing dumpster rentals range from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. Heavy debris and landfill fees affect your final price. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For a small load, hauling it yourself can work. For a remodel or full cleanout, a dumpster usually costs less. Each trip to a landfill means fuel, time, and a disposal fee, and the nearby landfills are privately run. One container handles the job in a single haul.
Yes. A standard couch uses about one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a recliner, a mattress, and boxes. Furniture takes up space quickly but doesn't weigh much, so you'll usually run out of room before you reach the weight limit.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos. Michigan also keeps lead-acid batteries, PCB items, and more than a few whole tires out of landfills. Yard waste and deposit bottles should stay out too. Ask your account manager about anything unusual.
The 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced option at $399 to $499. What you load still matters. Brick, plaster, and wet carpet can push a small container over its weight allowance and add overage fees. Keeping heavy debris separate helps you save.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our five-day rental, since we price by the job rather than the day. The weight of your debris affects your bill more than the number of days. Ask your account manager about the included tonnage before delivery.
Most household and building debris is allowed in a Lansing dumpster. That includes lumber, drywall, plaster, flooring, carpet, shingles, cabinets, furniture, and cardboard. Clean brick and concrete are allowed too, but they're heavy. When you're unsure about an item, check with your account manager before loading it.
