Residential dumpster rental for Michigan homeowners

A dumpster at your house for the cleanout, the move or the weekend project.

Residential dumpster rental from Blue Sky Disposal gives you one place to put everything from a garage cleanout to a move. We are based in Clinton Township, and we deliver to homes across Michigan. You can choose a roll-off or, in the counties where we run them, a rubber-wheeled dumpster. It rolls on soft tires instead of steel rails, which is easier on a driveway.

How a home rental works

  • Answer two questions in the calculator: how big the cleanout is and what is in it. It recommends a size and a dumpster type.
  • A rubber-wheeled dumpster includes 7 days and a roll-off includes 14. Extra days are billed per day.
  • Tell us where it should go. A dumpster on your own driveway usually does not need a permit, but street placement can.
  • Load it level with the top rail. We pick it up at the end of your rental.

Rubber-wheeled or roll-off

A rubber-wheeled dumpster is a trailer on soft tires. The tires roll instead of drag, so there are no steel rails on your driveway.

The 10-yard rubber-wheeled dumpster is about 12 feet long and fits a standard single-car driveway with room for the truck. The 20-yard suits most two-car driveways, and the 30-yard needs a longer drive.

Rubber-wheeled dumpsters are offered in select counties. A roll-off works almost anywhere and comes in sizes up to 40 yards. For a roll-off on a driveway, boards under the rails are available on request.

What you can and cannot toss

Household junk, furniture, wood, drywall, carpet, cabinets, flooring and yard waste are all allowed. Refrigerators and A/C units are fine once the freon is removed.

Mattresses and box springs are a per-item add-on because they need separate disposal.

Paint, oil, chemicals, batteries, tires, hazardous waste and medical waste are not allowed. Dirt, concrete and brick go in a separate 10-yard roll-off as a clean load.

Before you load

Set aside anything worth selling or donating first. The dumpster is for what is left.

If the job runs long, extra days are available. Your quote shows the included weight and the extra-ton rate, so you know where the limits are before you start.

Common questions

What size dumpster do I need to clean out a garage?

A one-car garage usually fits a 10-yard. A two-car garage usually needs a 20-yard. If the garage holds heavy items like tools or appliances, say so in the calculator so it can adjust the weight.

Is a dumpster safe for my driveway?

A rubber-wheeled dumpster rolls on soft tires, which is easier on a driveway than steel rails. For a roll-off, boards under the rails are available on request. You are responsible for choosing a spot that can support the equipment.

Do I need a permit for a dumpster at my house?

Usually not if the dumpster sits on your own driveway. Street placement can need a city permit. Check with your city before delivery if it has to go on the road.

Can I throw away a mattress?

Yes, as a per-item add-on. Mattresses and box springs need separate disposal, so add them when you book.
