At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Madison Heights, Michigan, and the nearby south Oakland County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. This is a compact, fully built city of post-war brick ranches and bungalows with a deep commercial and light industrial strip along John R Road and Dequindre, so the container work runs to basement and kitchen remodels, garage tear-downs, re-roofs and tenant construction.
Your figure comes from the container size, the material, the length of the rental and the per-ton charge at the receiving facility. There is also one piece of local news that changes the haul on every job in town, and it is in the section on where your waste goes.

Two things move a Madison Heights quote more than the rest.
The first is the haul. The transfer station inside Madison Heights is closed until further notice, in the operating authority's own words, so loads from here travel north to the authority's station in Troy. It is a short run, but it is a run, and it sits in the disposal side of your number rather than the container side.
The second is weight. Dumping at the Troy station is priced at $75 per ton with a $50 minimum charge, effective since 1 July 2025. That is a published figure you can check, and it is why the honest answer to "what size do I need" starts with what the material weighs rather than how big the pile looks. A 10-yard container of old concrete walk can cost more to empty than a 30-yard container of cabinets and trim.
Size then does the ordinary work. One 20-yard container beats two 10-yard containers on a kitchen and bath job, because you pay for one delivery and one haul instead of two. Your account manager sets the included tonnage against the material you describe so the overage line is clear and upfront.

Start with the heaviest material and then check the driveway. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes for Madison Heights work.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is where dense Madison Heights material belongs. A concrete walk, a block foundation, old ceramic tile or a single-layer shingle tear-off all reach a weight limit before they fill the walls.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage emptied to the slab, one bathroom stripped to studs, or a modest roof section. On a standard Madison Heights lot it leaves room to park behind it.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most common size we set in this city. A kitchen plus a bath, a finished basement taken out, or carpet and pad pulled from a whole ranch all fit.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, second-story work and new residential construction, where packaging and offcuts eat volume long before weight becomes the limit.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is for the John R Road and Dequindre commercial and industrial work: interiors, structural demolition and plant clearing. Prime Dumpster has nothing larger.
Not sure which one fits? Describe the rooms and the material to your account manager and they will size it for you.
On private property, a container needs no separate permit in Madison Heights. Your own driveway, a commercial parking area or a fenced work area are all straightforward.
The public ground is where the code is thin, and that cuts both ways. We read the streets and sidewalks chapter and the excavations chapter end to end and neither names a container, a dumpster or an obstruction permit at all. The only rule that touches a container on public ground is written for collection day: nothing to be disposed of may be placed in a public street, alley or other public place, or in a front or side yard, earlier than 12 hours before the regular collection time, and it has to be gone no later than 12 hours after collection. That is a rule for a cart on a Tuesday, not a route for a project container on a Thursday.
So the honest answer is that a multi-day container belongs on private property here, and a street placement is a question to put to the City rather than a form to file.
There are two authorizations to be aware of, and your account manager handles both. At a residential address the City's own rules say no resident or occupant may dispose of bulky waste, general waste or garbage except to an authorized collector of the city. And the City requires a general business license from anyone providing goods or services at or from any location in the city, which on the face of the words reaches a container delivered to a Madison Heights address. Neither is a form you fill in. Your account manager confirms the City's position on your address before anything is scheduled, and we will tell you if there is a hold-up rather than deliver into one.
Oakland County is the other place a requirement could sit, and the county's own pages on it would not open for us, so we make no claim either way about a county step. Your account manager checks it rather than assuming.
Madison Heights City Hall is at 300 West Thirteen Mile Road, and that is the office to reach for the construction permit itself. Your account manager will point you to the right desk.
Hazardous material stays out in every form: paint, solvents, fuel, used motor oil, pesticides, pool chemicals, part-used aerosols and batteries. No liquids, no pressurized cylinders, no asbestos, no sharps.
Tires, electronics and major appliances have to be named at booking. Each carries its own route and its own charge, and the Troy transfer station adds its own charges for items it treats as difficult.
Yard waste is a specific one here. The Troy station takes no yard waste at all, so grass, leaves, brush and tree limbs cannot ride along in a mixed container heading there. The authority runs a separate compost site for that, operated by a private contractor, and it is a different trip.
Madison Heights also sets a weight rule on its own collection that is worth knowing: the City will not collect a container holding waste that weighs over 200 pounds. That is about curbside carts rather than about a rented container, but it is the reason heavy demolition material belongs in a roll-off rather than at the curb.
Run anything unusual past your account manager before it goes into a Madison Heights container.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
The waste authority serving this part of south Oakland County is SOCRRA, a municipal corporation owned by twelve member cities, and it both owns and runs its own transfer station. Madison Heights is not one of the twelve, which is worth saying plainly, but the station is the nearest publicly run facility and it publishes a rate and an opening schedule rather than keeping them behind a contract.
The local headline is the closure. The authority's own listing shows the Madison Heights Transfer Station closed until further notice, so nothing is tipped inside the city any more. Loads go instead to the SOCRRA Transfer Station at 991 Coolidge in Troy, which is open Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for trash dumping and weekday mornings from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. for hand unloading. The authority answers on 248-288-5150. The authority also runs a certified truck scale and recycling processing facility next door at 995 Coolidge.
Both sites close on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. The authority's recycling drop-off center at 995 Coolidge is appointment-only and open to residents of its twelve member communities and a few named neighboring areas, so it is not somewhere to take a container load.
Your account manager confirms which site your container is routed to, what the gate will charge, and how the limited dumping hours affect your swap, before the truck leaves your address.
991 Coolidge, Troy, MI 48084
Authority-run transfer station, open Saturdays 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and weekday mornings; no yard waste.
Most Madison Heights orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Hauls are the part worth planning, because the receiving station runs short dumping windows rather than all-day hours.
Five habits that keep a Madison Heights delivery on track:
One more timing note: the receiving sites close entirely on six named holidays, so a job either side of a long weekend needs its hauls booked rather than assumed. Your account manager builds that into the schedule.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Madison Heights, from the neighborhoods either side of John R Road and Dequindre to the Twelve Mile and Thirteen Mile corridors and the commercial and industrial addresses along Stephenson Highway. We handle the drop, the swap and the haul to the Troy station on your timetable.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will match the container to the material, work the haul around the receiving station's hours, and give you a clear figure 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 Madison Heights 10-yard is $399 to $499 and a 40-yard $699 to $899, both on a five-day basis. The per-ton charge at the receiving station and the weight of your load then move the total. Your account manager fixes the Madison Heights tonnage allowance and the overage rate at the order.
For most jobs here, renting is cheaper. With the local transfer station closed, self-hauling means repeated runs up to Troy inside narrow morning dumping windows, a minimum charge each visit, and loading by hand twice. One Madison Heights container means one load and one trip north.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a recliner, a bed frame and a run of cartons. Furniture fills volume well before it approaches the weight allowance on that size.
No hazardous material, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, pesticides, pool chemicals, batteries, pressurized cylinders or asbestos. Yard waste also has to stay out, because the receiving station accepts none, and tires, electronics and appliances must be named at booking.
Madison Heights starts at the 10-yard, priced $399 to $499. Whether it is cheapest overall depends on the load, because disposal here is charged by the ton. Separating concrete and masonry into a dedicated container usually beats paying overage on one mixed load.
A three-day rental generally matches the five-day price, because the quote is built around the project rather than counted off by the day. The weight ticket is what shifts a Madison Heights invoice. Agree the included tonnage and the per-ton overage rate with your account manager and the figure holds.
Framing scrap, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, doors, windows, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout material are all fine in Madison Heights. Clean concrete, block and brick are accepted as well and usually cost less in a dedicated load. Anything doubtful goes to your account manager before the Madison Heights container is loaded.
