At Prime Dumpster, we arrange roll-off dumpster rentals across Ypsilanti, Michigan, from 10 to 40 yards. Ypsilanti has some of the oldest housing in Washtenaw County, with Victorian homes in the historic district, student rentals near Eastern Michigan University, and older commercial blocks downtown and in Depot Town. Rehab, renovation, rental turnovers and construction keep containers in steady use.
Ypsilanti makes the street question very clear. The City requires a right-of-way permit for all work in the public right of way, filed at least three business days ahead, and its fee schedule charges an obstruction by the week. A container on a driveway avoids all of that.

Placement is the first cost lever in Ypsilanti. The City's right-of-way fee schedule charges an obstruction outside the roadway by the week, with a lower rate for a residential property than a commercial one, while a lane closure on a street is charged by the day. On a five-day rental, a driveway placement avoids those charges entirely.
Weight is the second. Plaster and lath from a Victorian, old brick and chimney masonry are heavy.
Your Ypsilanti account manager plans the placement and sets the allowance and overage rate in one clear, upfront quote.

Choose by volume, then weight, then the space on the lot.
The 10-Yard Dumpster handles plaster, brick and masonry from an older Ypsilanti home, where weight runs out first.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a kitchen or bathroom remodel or a single rental unit turnover.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual Ypsilanti choice for a whole-house cleanout or a reroof.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a full gut rehab of an older house or a downtown storefront.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest in the range, for commercial and multi-unit projects.
The Ypsilanti job we see most is the student rental turnover in late spring. Furniture, mattresses and bagged contents from several units are bulky and light, so a 20 or 30-yard suits it. A plaster tear-out in the same house is a separate, heavier load.
On private property, such as a driveway or a rear parking pad off an alley, no right-of-way permit is involved. Many older Ypsilanti lots have narrow drives or alley access, so measure before you book.
In the right of way, the rule is broad. The City of Ypsilanti requires permit applications for all work performed in the right of way, submitted at least three business days before the work starts. The City defines the right of way to include the sidewalk, the street, the strip between them and alleys. Applications are filed online, and the City asks for a certificate of liability insurance where a contractor is involved.
The fee schedule is where the City's approach shows. Obstructions outside the roadway are charged by the week, at a lower rate for residential than commercial property, while closing a lane on a local or major street is charged by the day. Exact current figures come from the City when the permit is filed.
The City's code itself was not opened for this guide, so no Ypsilanti rule on hauler licensing is stated here in either direction. The City's own trash pages name none, and they point larger generators toward private haulers. Your Ypsilanti account manager confirms the current requirements before delivery.
Lumber, drywall, plaster, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture and general cleanout debris belong in an Ypsilanti container.
The City's curbside bulk collection is strict about renovation debris. Lumber must be cut to four feet and bundled, and tile, shingles and wallboard must be in handled containers under fifty pounds. Concrete, brick, block, asphalt, dirt and stone are on the list of items not collected at the curb. A container takes all of that without the preparation.
Paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, antifreeze, batteries and pressurized tanks need their own routes. Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners must have refrigerant removed and tagged by a technician first.
On an Ypsilanti job, Michigan's own list of materials barred from its landfills is not set out here, because the copy on record could not be re-checked by an approved route.
Asbestos and lead paint are real concerns in Ypsilanti's older housing, and both need testing before demolition.
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.
Ypsilanti sits in eastern Washtenaw County, and a container here goes to permitted facilities in the region.
No disposal facility is carded for Ypsilanti. The county's environmental health pages could not be opened, and the nearest reuse yard the City mentions is run by a non-profit rather than a public body, so it is not carded either. On an Ypsilanti job, Prime Dumpster cards only publicly operated sites.
What the City does publish is a nudge toward reuse. Its bulk guidance suggests construction debris may go to a reuse and recycling yard in Ann Arbor rather than the curb, which is worth knowing for clean lumber, doors and fixtures.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager confirms which permitted facility will take an Ypsilanti load and whether separating masonry will lower the cost.
Most Ypsilanti rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days for a driveway placement, with delivery in a 24 to 48 hour window. A street placement needs the City's permit, filed at least three business days ahead.

Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges container service across Ypsilanti, from the historic district and Depot Town to the streets around Eastern Michigan University, the south side and the neighborhoods along Michigan Avenue.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. Your Ypsilanti account manager plans a driveway or alley placement where possible, files the right-of-way paperwork where it is not, and quotes one figure.
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.
Ypsilanti rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard on a five-day rental. A right-of-way placement adds the City's weekly obstruction charge. Your Ypsilanti account manager checks both before you book.
For a single bulky item, the City's weekly bulk pickup may be cheaper. For an Ypsilanti remodel or turnover, a container usually wins, because curbside rules require lumber, tile and shingles to be cut, bundled and bagged.
Yes. On an Ypsilanti job, a three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard container. An Ypsilanti rental turnover can fit a couch, mattresses and bagged contents alongside it, since furniture is light and space fills first.
No paint, solvents, fuel, oil, antifreeze, batteries, tires, pressurized tanks or asbestos. Refrigerators and air conditioners need refrigerant removed first. Tell your Ypsilanti account manager about anything unusual and a separate route is arranged.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499 and suits an Ypsilanti plaster or brick load. For a bulky turnover, a 20-yard is often cheaper per cubic yard of space.
A three-day Ypsilanti rental is priced at the five-day rate, which is the minimum term. On an Ypsilanti job, weight moves the total more than days. Your Ypsilanti account manager quotes the allowance and the overage rate up front.
An Ypsilanti container takes lumber, drywall, plaster, shingles, flooring, carpet, cabinets, doors, furniture and cardboard. Concrete and brick go in too, which matters in Ypsilanti because the City will not take them at the curb.
