At Prime Dumpster, we arrange roll-off dumpster rentals across Troy, Michigan, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Troy is an office and retail city as much as a residential one, so the work splits between corporate fit-outs along Big Beaver and Crooks Road, retail turnovers around Somerset, new construction on infill lots, and renovation of the 1960s and 1970s brick colonials that fill the neighborhoods between Long Lake and Wattles.
Troy has an advantage almost no city its size can match, and it changes the arithmetic on every container. The transfer station is inside the city limits, on Coolidge, and it is run by a municipal authority that Troy is a member of rather than by a private company.

Troy is one of the few places where you can see the disposal half of the bill in print.
Container size sets the base figure and weight sets most of the rest. The authority that runs the Troy transfer station publishes its own gate pricing: $75 per ton with a $50 minimum charge, effective July 1, 2025. That is a dated, published figure rather than an estimate, which makes a Troy quote unusually easy to sanity check.
Haul distance barely registers here, and that is the real local saving. The transfer station is on Coolidge between 14 Mile and Maple, inside the city, so the trip from a Troy job site is short by the standards of a metro area this size.
Two limits at that gate shape the load. Yard waste is not accepted at the Troy facility at all and has to go to the authority's compost site instead, and none of its facilities take brush, branches, or woody tree material. So a landscaping job and a renovation job are two different containers in Troy whether you planned it that way or not. Your Troy account manager builds all of that into one clear, upfront number on the first call.

Pick on volume, confirm the weight, then confirm what has to travel separately.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the shortest container in the range and the right one for brick, concrete, and tile. On a chimney takedown or a patio removal it is the correct choice rather than a compromise.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage clearing, a bathroom or kitchen tear-out, or a small roof section, with more capacity and little more length.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual residential pick for a whole-house cleanout or a remodel across several rooms, and it is the most common size on Troy's colonial streets.
The 30-Yard Dumpster fits a large renovation, an addition, or mixed demolition debris, and it is the working size on the city's multifamily and small commercial jobs.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest in the range and is the standard container for the office and retail fit-out work that makes up so much of Troy's economy.
The Troy sizing question that comes up most is the office strip-out, and it has a specific answer. Ceiling tile, carpet, partitions, cubicle panels, and drywall are bulky and light, so they fill volume quickly and never trouble the weight allowance. A 1970s office suite on Big Beaver is a 30 or 40-yard job even when the floor area sounds modest. Talk the scope through with your account manager and the container is sized on cubic yards rather than tons.
A container on your own ground needs no county permit. A driveway, a yard, a parking lot or a fenced site is yours to use, provided nothing blocks a sidewalk, a fire lane or someone else's access. Troy residential lots and office parking decks both have room, which answers nearly every job here.
Placement in a Troy street is a City question and the City is the office to answer it. Your account manager confirms the current requirement with Troy before a delivery date is fixed rather than afterwards.
The county layer is unusually simple, and that is worth saying plainly because people expect the opposite. Oakland County's own description of what it does in this area is narrow: its Planning Division maintains the county Solid Waste Plan, oversees materials management planning, runs a household hazardous waste program, and provides recycling and disposal information to residents. There is no county hauler license, no collector registration, and no vehicle permit in that list. The County also says recycling programs in Oakland County are managed by the local communities rather than by the County, and that it has no county-wide household hazardous waste disposal program.
So in Troy the regulated questions are local and practical rather than countywide. Where the container sits is a City matter, where the load goes is set by the receiving facility's own rules, and the County's role is planning and information. Oakland County's waste and materials management staff can be reached on 248-858-2071 at 2100 Pontiac Lake Road in Waterford.
That leaves the material itself as the thing to get right, which is the next section.
Lumber, drywall, plaster, brick, roofing, flooring, carpet, ceiling tile, cabinets, fixtures, office furniture, partitions, and general cleanout debris are all fine in a roll-off container.
Hazardous material stays out as a matter of course. Paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, antifreeze, pool chemicals, pesticides, batteries, fluorescent lamps, and electronics all need their own route rather than a container. Liquids of any kind are refused, and so are propane tanks and other pressurized cylinders. Tires need separate handling.
The limits that will actually affect a Troy job are the ones at the gate. The Troy transfer station does not take yard waste, which has to go to the authority's compost site in Rochester Hills instead, and none of the authority's facilities accept brush, branches, or woody tree material. A tree removal and a kitchen remodel therefore cannot share a container here.
The authority's drop-off center at 995 Coolidge handles household hazardous waste, electronics, paper shredding, and foam recycling, but it is worth being clear about what it is: appointment only, residents of the member communities only, with residency checked at the gate, and attendants who can only help lift items under 40 pounds. It is a residents' service rather than a construction destination, so contractor debris does not go there.
Asbestos deserves a sentence on its own. Troy's 1960s and 1970s housing and commercial stock is squarely in the era of asbestos floor tile, tile adhesive, and pipe lagging, and it needs a licensed abatement contractor rather than a container.
Tell your account manager what the job involves when you book and the separate route for anything on that list gets arranged with the container.

This is where Troy is genuinely different, and it is good news.
The Southeastern Oakland County Resource Recovery Authority describes itself as a municipal corporation, founded in the early 1950s, made up of twelve member municipalities covering about 283,000 people across 75 square miles. Troy is one of those twelve member cities, each with a seat on the board of trustees. So the authority that handles Troy's waste is a public body that Troy part-owns rather than a vendor it buys from.
The authority operates the transfer station in Troy itself, and it says so in its own words. The SOCRRA Transfer Station at 991 Coolidge receives and compacts mixed municipal solid waste for transfer onward to a landfill for disposal. The authority also operates a materials recovery facility on the same stretch of Coolidge, taking the recyclables its member cities collect at the curb, where material is weighed and sorted on conveyors before being baled for market. That facility is designed to handle 100 tons a day on an eight hour shift, or 26,000 tons a year.
Access is published and tight. Trash dumping runs Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and weekdays from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. for hand unloading, with no appointment needed. All sites close on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day.
One site is deliberately not part of this picture. The authority's compost site in Rochester Hills, on School Road, is managed for it by an outside company rather than run by the authority, so it sits in a different category from the Troy facilities.
Those narrow weekday hours are exactly why a container beats self-hauling in Troy. A four-hour weekday window and a Saturday morning are hard to build a renovation schedule around. Your Prime Dumpster account manager works to the gate hours rather than against them, confirms the destination before collection is scheduled, and the authority answers questions on 248-288-5150.
991 Coolidge, Troy, MI 48084
Operated by the Southeastern Oakland County Resource Recovery Authority, a municipal corporation Troy is a member city of. Trash dumping Saturdays 7:00 to 12:30 and weekdays 6:00 to 10:00 for hand unloading. No yard waste, brush or branches.
Most Oakland County rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with a 24 to 48 hour delivery window. Troy sits on I-75 with Big Beaver, Maple, and Crooks Road running through it, so access across the city is straightforward.
A few things keep a Troy delivery on track:
An early call matters more here than most places, because the gate windows are narrow, next-day slots go from the morning, and I-75 through Troy crawls after mid-afternoon.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges container service throughout Troy. That covers the Big Beaver and Somerset commercial corridors, the Crooks and Coolidge industrial strips, and the residential streets from Long Lake and Wattles down to Maple. Madison Heights, immediately south, is on the same routes, though the published drive distances between the two cities do not reconcile well enough to print a mileage for the pair.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will work to the transfer station's gate hours, keep the yard waste and the renovation debris in separate containers, and give you a clear 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.
Troy rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day rental. The authority's published per-ton charge and your debris weight move the final figure. Your account manager confirms the tonnage allowance and the overage rate ahead of the delivery.
The rental, and the gate hours are the reason. Weekday dumping at the Troy transfer station runs only from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., with Saturday mornings as the other option, and a pickup truck load is small. A container collects on your schedule instead.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser and boxes. Office and household furniture alike are bulky and light, so that kind of load is sized on the space it needs rather than what it weighs.
No hazardous material, no liquids, no paint or solvents, no fuel, no motor oil or antifreeze, no batteries, no lamps, no electronics, no propane tanks, no asbestos. Yard waste, brush and branches need a route of their own here too. Say so at booking.
The 10-yard container opens lowest, at $399 to $499, and on brick or concrete it is also the right choice rather than a compromise. What you pay still turns on the load, since brick and concrete clear a small container's allowance and add overage on top.
Normally the same figure. Troy containers are priced around the job rather than by the day, and the authority's per-ton charge at the Coolidge gate does not change with your schedule. Weight is the variable. Ask your account manager for the tonnage allowance and the cost of each extra ton first.
Most construction and household debris: lumber, drywall, plaster, brick, roofing, flooring, carpet, ceiling tile, cabinets, doors, furniture, cardboard, and general junk. Clean concrete and brick are fine as well, and a hard-material-only load normally costs less than burying it in the general debris.
