Choose a roll-off for heavy debris, a roof, or a county outside the rubber-wheeled list. Choose a rubber-wheeled dumpster for a driveway load in an eligible county. Extra days are $25 on both.

What is a roll-off dumpster?
A roll-off is delivered on a tilt-bed truck and set down as an open container.
Blue Sky offers four sizes. The rental includes 14 days. Extra days are $25.
Roll-off dumpsters are available across Michigan, where we offer roll-off rental.
Roll-off is also the only option for heavy debris.
Dirt, soil, concrete, brick, block, masonry, and rock go in the 10-yard open-top.
The 40-yard is the maximum volume size.
It has the same 5-ton capacity as the 30-yard.
For a normal roof, use a 10, 20, or 30 yard. Heavy dirt and concrete go in the 10-yard.
Included weight is on the address quote.

What is a rubber-wheeled dumpster?
A rubber-wheeled dumpster sits on wheels for driveway placement where that service is available.
Sizes are 10, 20, and 30 yard. The included period is 7 days. Extra days are $25.
Compare them by yard size and the 7-day rental, then open the size page for that container.
Outside the counties below, choose a roll-off.
Inside those counties, the address quote still has to show the service for that driveway.
Read the included weight on the rubber-wheeled quote.
A 7-day rubber-wheeled rental and a 14-day roll-off of a similar yard size can show different tons.

Which placement differences matter?
A roll-off sits on the ground, so it can affect a driveway or lawn.
If you need it in the street, confirm the current local requirement before delivery.
Your city issues a street permit. Check with them before delivery.
A rubber-wheeled dumpster is the driveway option where the service exists.
A front-load dumpster is a third product: 2, 4, 6, or 8 yard, scheduled, in Macomb, Wayne, and Oakland Counties.
