At Prime Dumpster we arrange roll-off containers across Taylor, Michigan and the Downriver communities either side of Telegraph Road. Taylor is a postwar city of small lots and brick ranches, most of them now on their second or third round of construction work: roofs, siding, kitchens, basements and the occasional full tear-out on a rental turnaround.
Two local facts shape almost every quote here, and both are worth knowing before you book. Taylor licenses anyone who collects or removes waste generated inside the city, with one narrow exception for lawn care. And the city's own transfer station on Racho Road refuses concrete, brick and shingles, which is exactly what a Taylor roof or chimney job produces. Neither is a problem once it is planned for. Both are a problem if they turn up on the day.

| Size | Average Price Range | Approximate Dimensions | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Yard Dumpster | $399–$499 | 12' L × 8' W × 3.5' H | Concrete, brick, and heavy debris; small cleanouts; single-room remodels |
| 15-Yard Dumpster | $449–$569 | 16' L × 7.5' W × 4–5' H | Garage cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, small roof tear-offs |
| 20-Yard Dumpster | $499–$649 | 22' L × 7.5' W × 4.5' H | Whole-home cleanouts, multi-room renovations, flooring removal, roofing |
| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |
| 40-Yard Dumpster | $699–$899 | 22–24' L × 8' W × 8' H | Commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts, large-scale construction |
Size opens the figure and weight moves it most. Taylor's brick ranches give up a lot of dense material. A chimney, a porch slab or a two-layer asphalt roof reaches a tonnage ceiling long before it fills a container.
The local factor is the destination, and in Taylor the material settles it. The city's own transfer station takes general debris but not concrete, brick or shingles. So a mixed renovation load and a clean rubble load go to different places, at different prices. Splitting them before loading is the clearest saving available on a Taylor job, and your account manager settles the routing at quote stage rather than after the weigh-in.
Duration matters least of the three. One job, one price is the usual arrangement here, with extra days settled at the end.

Let the material decide. Taylor lots are narrow and driveways are short, so the second question is access rather than volume.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the dense-material container and it earns its place in this city. A clean load of concrete, brick or asphalt shingle hits its weight limit while the walls still look half empty. It also fits a short Downriver driveway without blocking the pavement.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers one bathroom, a garage clear-down, a single-layer roof or a deck takedown.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size Taylor homes book most. A whole-house cleanout, a kitchen plus two rooms, a flooring strip or a basement finish all fit, and the walls stay low enough to load by hand.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for a large addition, a rebuild or a serious tear-out, where framing lumber, drywall and roof decking build volume faster than weight.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the commercial size for the industrial parks and the Eureka Road corridor. It takes large demolition and plant clearing. The driver needs a straight approach, a level drop point and clear height overhead.
A container on private property, in a driveway or inside a fenced job site, is the normal arrangement in Taylor and that is how nearly every job here is served.
The licensing position is clear and it is wide. Taylor's litter article says no person shall collect, transport, deliver, dispose or remove any solid waste, yard waste or recyclable material generated within the city without first getting a license from the city. The license comes from the city clerk on application and payment of a fee set by council resolution. The only exception written into that rule is for lawn care services taking yard waste from a customer's premises.
Reading the whole of that chapter, there is no construction or demolition carve-out of any kind. The word construction appears fifteen times and never once as an exemption. The city's business licensing chapter, separately, licenses a long list of trades and names no waste activity at all. So the waste license sits in the litter article, and anyone bringing a container into Taylor needs to hold it. Your account manager confirms that is in order before anything is scheduled, which is the practical value of knowing it.
One definitional point is worth stating honestly rather than glossing. Taylor does not write its own meaning for solid waste. It adopts the Michigan state definition by reference. That reference is the reason the license is likely to reach construction debris as well as household waste, and the state text behind it is not something available to us on a route we are willing to rely on. So the position we state is the city's own: the license reaches any solid waste generated in the city, and lawn care is the only published exception. Anything turning on the state definition goes to the city.
Two placement rules apply and both are easy. A container goes at the street or at another location indicated by the director of public services, and it may not be set out for collection before six in the evening the night before. Empty containers come off the collection point by eight the same evening.
One commercial rule is sharper and worth raising early. For a commercial premises, the code says solid waste dumpsters shall, without exception, be placed on cement surfaces no smaller than five feet by eight feet per container, and that containers must be approved by the director of public works. That section sits among rules about the city's own commercial collection, so whether it reaches a temporary container on a job site is a question for the director rather than something we will assert. If your job is at a commercial address, it is the first thing to settle.
Ordinary construction, demolition and household debris is acceptable in a Taylor container. The firm limits come from the receiving site and from federal rules.
The city's own transfer station publishes its refusals plainly, and they matter more here than usual. It does not accept concrete, brick, shingles or tires, nor hazardous waste, paint, car parts, boats or trailers. The city also reserves the right to refuse any load or any customer at the site. So a load with rubble or roofing in it needs a different destination, settled in advance.
Hazardous material stays out of any container: fuels, solvents, wet paint, pesticides, pool chemicals and pressurized cylinders. Taylor runs household hazardous waste days for residents, and those are the right route for them.
Asbestos cannot go in a standard container. Taylor's postwar housing and its older industrial stock can both turn up pipe lagging, resilient floor tile and textured ceiling coating. A suspect material needs testing before anything is loaded.
On banned materials generally, we would rather be straight with you than confident. Michigan publishes restrictions on what may be landfilled, and the version of that list available to us is not current enough to put in front of a customer. For anything unusual, your account manager checks the receiving site's own acceptance rules, which is the list that actually governs your load.
Liquids are out, including water standing in an old drum or a basement sump bucket. Water adds weight and nothing else.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Taylor is one of the few cities this size that runs its own transfer station, and the city operates it directly through its Department of Public Works rather than through a contractor.
The Taylor Hills Transfer Station and Compost Facility sits on Racho Road, south of Eureka and east of Telegraph, and it is open Monday to Saturday from eight in the morning until a quarter to three. Telephone contact runs through the city's main number on weekdays only, and the city notes that no calls are taken at the site on Saturdays. The compost side produces a soil product that is free to Taylor residents who load it themselves, with a loading charge and a per-yard rate otherwise.
The part that decides a renovation job is the acceptance list. The site does not take concrete, brick, shingles or tires. For a Taylor homeowner that is the difference between one container and two: a clean rubble load and a mixed debris load have to go to separate destinations. Your account manager sorts that out at quote stage and tells you what each one costs by weight.
There is also a residents' entitlement worth knowing about for a very small job. Each Taylor homeowner gets two free dump visits a year, up to five hundred pounds each, with proof of residency at the gate. Rental properties are excluded. For a garage tidy-up that may be all you need. For a renovation it will not go far, and the city's own guidance tells residents that curbside bulk collection is not the place for a major renovation project, concrete or walls.
At county level there is nothing useful to point you at. Wayne County's website returns the same short page on every path we tried, so we cannot tell you what the county does or does not require, and we will not guess at it. If a Taylor job raises a county question, your account manager takes it to the county directly.
16300 Racho Road, Taylor, MI 48180
The City of Taylor's own transfer station and compost site, operated directly by the city's Department of Public Works. Open Monday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. Telephone contact runs through the city's main number on weekdays only, with no calls taken at the site on Saturdays. It does NOT accept concrete, brick, shingles or tires, nor hazardous waste, paint, car parts, boats or trailers, and the city reserves the right to refuse any load. Card payment only.
Most Taylor containers can be scheduled inside one to two business days. Private-property placements are the norm, so the timing usually depends on the truck and on settling the destination.
What makes a Taylor booking move quickly:
A Michigan winter note. Cover a part-filled container between shifts, because snow and rain soak into drywall and insulation and come back as tonnage on the ticket. In a hard freeze, clear the approach before the truck is due. A rutted frozen driveway is the commonest reason a Downriver delivery slips a day.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster covers Taylor itself along with Brownstown, Woodhaven, Melvindale and the Downriver communities around them. City boundaries interlock tightly here, so the exact street address decides which city's rules apply.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container for the driveway, settle which site can take your material, confirm the licensing side 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.
For the standard five days a 10-yard runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard $699 to $899. Weight-based disposal is charged on top and depends on which site takes the material. Your account manager confirms the tonnage allowance, the overage rate and the destination at booking.
Past one pickup load, renting wins in Taylor. Residents get two free 500-pound visits a year to the city site, which is useful for a tidy-up. Beyond that the commercial weight bands and the refusal of rubble and shingles make repeat self-haul trips expensive.
Yes, with room to spare. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard, and a bed frame, a dresser and boxed goods fit around it. Household furniture runs out of volume long before it reaches a weight limit, so a 10-yard suits most clear-downs.
Fuels, solvents, wet paint, pesticides, pool chemicals and pressurized cylinders stay out, and so do liquids. Asbestos-bearing material cannot go in a standard container. In Taylor, concrete, brick, shingles and tires also need a destination other than the city site.
The 10-yard carries the lowest base price at $399 to $499, and on a Taylor job with brick, concrete or shingles in it the 10-yard is usually the right container anyway. Keeping dense material in its own load beats one mixed container that runs past its tonnage.
Three days and five days normally settle at one figure in Taylor, because the job rather than the calendar drives the price. Weight and destination move the bill. Ask your account manager to confirm the included tonnage and the overage rate first.
Lumber, drywall, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, doors, windows, furniture and cardboard are all acceptable in a Michigan container. Clean concrete, brick and roofing need their own load and their own destination here. Check anything borderline with your account manager before loading.
