At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Midland, Michigan, and the rest of Midland County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. The Grove and Circle neighborhoods near the Tridge keep remodelers busy, the mid-century houses around Eastlawn and Chippewassee are being updated one kitchen at a time, and plant and construction work along Bay City Road and Saginaw Road generates steady container demand.
Your price comes down to size, what you load, how long you need it, and what the city landfill charges to take the load. Below you'll find our ranges, when Midland wants a permit, what the city will not bury, and one local rule that catches people out.

Midland prices a little differently from most places, and it works in your favor if you plan for it.
The city runs its own landfill, and it charges by volume rather than by the ton. The published rate is $16 per cubic yard for demolition material and $12 per cubic yard for household refuse. An attendant sizes up each load at the gate. That means a loosely thrown container of broken lath costs the same as a tightly packed one, so stacking matters here more than it does elsewhere.
Container size is still the first decision. Order one size up rather than booking a second haul, and describe the whole project before you choose.
What the debris is made of still counts too. Shingles, plaster, tile, and masonry are the materials that turn a small container into an expensive one, and they also carry their own handling rules.
The last factor is placement. A container on your driveway is straightforward. One that reaches the street, the sidewalk, or the grass strip between them needs a city permit, and that has a fee and a lead time attached.

Choose on volume, since that is what the Midland landfill measures, then sanity-check how heavy the material will be to handle.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits dense, compact debris: a torn-up patio, chimney brick, soil, or a single bathroom stripped to the studs.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the step up for a stuffed garage, an attic nobody has touched in decades, or flooring from a couple of rooms.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most Midland households pick. A whole-home cleanout, a kitchen and bath together, or a standard shingle roof all fit.
The 30-Yard Dumpster covers additions, gut remodels, and interior demolition, where a crew needs to keep throwing without pausing for a swap.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and is aimed at commercial strip-outs, industrial cleanouts, and demolition that makes a great deal of light, bulky waste.
Describe the job to your account manager and we'll tell you which one we would send.
If the container stays wholly on private property, such as your own driveway or a fenced site, Midland asks for no permit. That covers most home deliveries.
The rule changes the moment any part of it reaches the public way. The City of Midland requires a permit for all work within the public street right of way, and the city counts the street, the sidewalk, and the out lawn, which is the grass strip between the walk and the curb, as part of that right of way. Plenty of Midland lots have a narrow driveway and a wide out lawn, so this comes up more often than you would expect.
The Engineering Department issues it. Its fee list, updated in July 2025, sets a general right of way permit at $105, with a higher fee and a bond for anything that cuts into the pavement. You can apply online, or ask for a paper form to be mailed or faxed.
Engineering is at 333 W Ellsworth Street and takes calls at 989-837-3348, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you are not sure where your property line stops and the out lawn starts, your account manager can help you get that answered before we schedule the drop.
Lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, trim, cabinets, windows, doors, carpet, and general household junk are all fine in a roll-off.
Michigan sets the outer limits. The state's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy lists the materials a landfill may not bury. Grass, leaves, sticks, and other yard clippings have to be composted instead. Whole tires cannot be buried unless they have been cut or shredded first. Car batteries go back through the retailer or repair shop, used oil has to be recycled in Michigan, and deposit bottles and cans go back to the store.
Asbestos needs its own plan. Only some landfills take it, and only when it has been prepared and shipped a specific way, so it belongs with a licensed abatement contractor rather than in a container.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, and fuel stay out of every roll-off. The city gives residents a separate number for disposal advice on oil-based paint, thinners, pesticides, fertilizers, aerosols, and old gas mixtures.
One thing to plan around: because the city landfill only takes material generated in Midland County, debris hauled in from a job outside the county has to go somewhere else. Flag the job's location to your account manager when you book.
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.
Almost everything a roll-off collects in town is tipped at the City of Midland Landfill, which the city owns and operates at 4311 E Ashman Street, Midland, Michigan 48642. The gatehouse answers at 989-837-6988. It is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., plus a published set of Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Every other Saturday it is closed, so check the city's landfill calendar before you plan a weekend finish.
Two things about this site shape your job. First, only waste generated in Midland County is accepted, and the city turns away loads from other counties, other states, and Canada. Second, the attendant prices by estimated volume, not weight, so the way material is loaded changes the bill.
Midland County households also get a small allowance of their own: once a month they can bring up to three cubic yards from their own home at no charge, with identification. That is useful for a single carload, but it runs out quickly on a real project, which is where a container earns its keep.
Your account manager will confirm the receiving site and the current rate before we dispatch the truck.
4311 E Ashman Street, Midland, MI 48642
City-run landfill open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays plus listed Saturdays; takes only waste generated in Midland County and prices loads by cubic yard.
Most Midland deliveries can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking earlier costs nothing, leaves time for a permit, and often lowers the price.
Here's how to keep it smooth:
Watch the landfill calendar as well. The city gate is shut on most Saturdays, so a container topped off on a Friday evening is normally collected the following week.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, explain how the city prices your load, and give you a firm number 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, on a five-day rental. Midland is unusual in that the city landfill charges by cubic yard rather than by ton, so how tightly you pack matters. Your account manager confirms what is included and what overage costs before delivery.
Midland County households get three cubic yards free once a month, which handles a carload. Past that you pay by volume on every trip, plus fuel and your own time loading twice. For a real remodel or cleanout, one container collected once is the cheaper and faster route.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves plenty of room for a mattress, a dresser, and a pile of boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than dense, so you run out of space well before weight becomes a problem.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Michigan also bars yard clippings, whole tires, car batteries, used oil, and deposit containers from landfills, so those need a different route. Tell your account manager about anything unusual and we'll sort out where it goes.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price, $399 to $499. Because Midland charges by the cubic yard at the gate, the cheapest outcome usually comes from breaking material down and loading it flat rather than from the container size alone. Your account manager can talk through the trade-off.
Three days usually costs the same as five, since the rental is priced by the job and not by the day. What you put in it moves the bill. Ask your account manager what is included and what extra disposal costs, then set a pickup date when you book.
Nearly all construction and household debris: framing lumber, drywall, plaster, shingles, flooring, doors, windows, cabinets, carpet, furniture, and cleanout junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt can go in too, and separating them often works out cheaper. When an item looks borderline, ask your account manager first.
