A residential dumpster rental is not junk removal, the crew drops the bin, you load it on your own schedule, and the crew hauls it away when you say it's full. That distinction matters for a Boston-Edison attic cleanout or a Woodbridge basement gut, where loading spreads over a weekend rather than one afternoon. Each price is all-in: the $695 quoted for a 20-yard covers delivery, pickup, and dumping, so a Corktown homeowner never gets a surprise tonnage line after the roll-off is weighed.
Size selection tracks the job, not the guesswork. The 10-yard ($595) holds roughly 4 pickup-truck loads and suits a single-room cleanout or a small bathroom remodel. The 15-yard ($650) and 20-yard ($695) fit a two-room renovation or a garage clear-out in Grandmont-Rosedale. The 30-yard ($795) handles a full-house cleanout or a Midtown flat renovation, and the 40-yard ($895) is sized for a roof tear-off or a whole-home gut. If it's a single-room cleanout, choose the 10-yard; if it's a roof tear-off, choose the 30 or 40, the trade-off is driveway footprint versus how many trips up and down the stairs you avoid.
Detroit's older residential streets shape placement. Indian Village and Palmer Woods lots often have wide driveways that swallow a 40-yard with room to spare, while Bagley and Morningside bungalows may only clear a 10- or 15-yard beside the house. A roll-off placed on your own driveway or private property needs no permit; a bin set in the public right-of-way (the street or curb lane) requires a permit through the City of Detroit, and that call is worth making before delivery on tight streets near Eastern Market. To book: 1) call with your ZIP and project, 2) pick the size against the guide above, 3) confirm a drop spot and a flat price, 4) load on your timeline, 5) call for pickup.
Heavy debris changes the size math, not the price. Concrete, brick, dirt, and shingles are dense, so a small load can fill a 10-yard by weight before it fills by volume, a Woodbridge chimney demo may need a 15-yard even if the pile looks modest. Because pricing here is flat, a fully packed 30-yard of roofing still costs $795 with no added weight charge, which is the number a Palmer Woods reroof can plan around from day one.
