Dumpster rental
in Ferndale.

Ferndale's weekly trash service will not take construction debris or large amounts of concrete, so a remodel or roof job needs a roll-off or a SOCRRA run. Bin There Dump That lists 6- to 20-yard bins at $390 to $475 for a typical 7-day rental, which suits Ferndale's short driveways; Priority Waste quotes 10- to 40-yard containers. If the bin has to go on the street or in the alley, budget for the City's $50 Storage Container application plus a daily per-space fee.

The first decision in Ferndale

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That publishes flat prices ($390 to $475) and a typical 7-day period for bins up to 20 yards, including a 6-yard size for tight driveways, but no weight allowance or overage rate. Priority Waste publishes no prices but offers 30- and 40-yard containers and a 7- to 10-day typical rental with paid extensions. Neither publishes included tonnage, so get the weight allowance and overage rate in writing from both.

Your local checklist

Confirm the address is inside the City of Ferndale: Royal Oak, Pleasant Ridge, Hazel Park, Oak Park and Royal Oak Township border it and have their own rules, and Ferndale's 48220 ZIP code also covers parts of neighbouring communities.
If the bin will sit on the street, in an alley or in a City parking space, file the City's Storage Container application (Special Events office, 248-546-2361) and allow for the $50 fee plus the per-space daily charge; for a driveway bin, ask Community and Economic Development (248-546-2366) whether a Temporary Use Permit applies.
Measure the driveway first: many Ferndale lots are narrow, so a 6- or 10-yard bin may fit where a 20-yard will not, and keep paint and chemicals out of it for a SOCRRA hazardous-waste appointment.

Listings are an editorial starting point, not a complete market ranking. Supplier-published amounts are not Dumpsterly quotes. Confirm address eligibility, material acceptance, dates and the full delivered total.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Bin There Dump That (Southeast Michigan franchise)

Published sizes: 6-yard (10' x 5.5' x 3'), 10-yard (10' x 7' x 4'), 15-yard (11' x 8' x 4.5') and 20-yard (11' x 8' x 6') bins, per the Ferndale page and the franchise's Bin Rates and Sizes page. The Ferndale page notes the 6-yard bin suits smaller driveways.
Rental & weight terms: The rates page gives 7 days as the typical rental period, with longer periods by arrangement. Included disposal weight, overage per ton and extra-day rates are not published, so request a written quote. Fill only to the top edge (overfilling may cost extra), and no hazardous materials.
Price basis: $390 (6-yard), $400 (10-yard), $435 (15-yard), $475 (20-yard), as listed on the Ferndale page and the rates page. The Ferndale page says residential rentals include delivery, pickup and driveway protection. Phone 734-430-9415.

The franchise lists its address as 19540 Gerald St. in Northville and names Ferndale among its Southeast Michigan service areas. The Ferndale page does not mention City permits; if the bin cannot fit on your driveway, the City's Storage Container permit is your responsibility or the company's to arrange, so ask which before delivery.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Priority Waste

Published sizes: 10-, 20-, 30- and 40-yard roll-offs, per the Ferndale page, which says sizes are typical and may vary.
Rental & weight terms: The page gives a typical rental of 7 to 10 days, with early pickup available and extensions for an additional fee that is not stated. No weight allowance or overage rate is published, so request a written quote.
Price basis: Not published; quotes through the page's order form. Phone 855-927-8365.

Priority Waste is a Southeast Michigan hauler with its corporate office in Clinton Township and yards including Sterling Heights and Auburn Hills. It is not Ferndale's residential contractor (the City uses Car Trucking). Its Ferndale page is partly templated, with Ohio and Indiana navigation and no Ferndale-specific address or local rules. It offers larger containers (30 and 40 yards) than Bin There Dump That.

A dumpster on a Ferndale street, alley or City parking space needs a City Storage Container permit ($50 application plus a daily space fee)

The City's Storage Container application says a permit is required to place a storage pod or dumpster on any public roadway, alley or municipal parking lot or parking space. The application is filed online with the City Manager's Office through the Director of Special Events (248-546-2361), and the City says it will tell you within 24 to 36 hours whether the request is accepted; filing does not mean approval. The City's FYE27 fee schedule (from July 2026) lists a $50 Dumpster/Storage Container Placement Application Fee plus a parking space use fee of $22.10 per space per day. The application page itself gives no maximum duration or insurance requirement, so ask when you apply. A bin kept entirely on your own driveway is not covered by that application, but the zoning code's Temporary Use rule (Section 5.19) requires a Temporary Use Permit for temporary buildings, construction trailers, moving pods and minor equipment or goods, on a paved area and outside the right-of-way; it does not mention dumpsters, so ask the Community and Economic Development Department (248-546-2366) whether a driveway roll-off needs one.

What matters locally

SOCRRA's transfer station on Coolidge in Troy takes hand-unloaded trash for $75 a ton

Ferndale's waste goes through SOCRRA, the regional authority, which runs a trash transfer station at 991 Coolidge in Troy, between 14 Mile and Maple. Its rates page lists $75 per ton with a $50 minimum (effective July 1, 2025), with hand unloading weekdays 6 to 10 a.m. and Saturday dumping 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; no yard waste is accepted there. The City's downtown waste page still quotes an older $65 per ton and $40 minimum, so expect the SOCRRA figure. For a pickup-truck load of tear-out debris this can cost less than a roll-off; for a whole roof or basement, a rented bin is usually simpler.

Curbside bulk items, yard waste and SOCRRA hazardous-waste appointments

The Public Works page says the City picks up bulk items such as washers, dryers, water heaters, air conditioners, refrigerators and furniture at the curb (doors removed, set out no earlier than 4 p.m. the day before collection), and construction or building materials are not collected with regular trash. For unusually large amounts or pickups outside the regular day, residents call Car Trucking (586-791-8480). Yard waste goes out from early April to mid-December in decaled cans or paper bags, with brush up to 4 inches across and 4 feet long chipped at the curb. Paint, chemicals, solvents and similar household hazardous waste go to SOCRRA by appointment (248-288-5153), so keep them out of the roll-off.

Questions about renting in Ferndale.

Do I need a permit to put a dumpster on my street or alley in Ferndale?

Yes. The City's Storage Container application says a permit is required to place a storage pod or dumpster on any public roadway, alley or municipal parking lot or space. It is filed online with the City Manager's Office, and the City says it replies within 24 to 36 hours. The FYE27 fee schedule lists a $50 placement application fee plus $22.10 per parking space per day. The application does not state a maximum duration or insurance requirement, so ask when you apply.

Will Ferndale's trash pickup take my renovation debris?

No. The City's trash page lists construction debris and large amounts of concrete or masonry as materials the regular service does not take, and the Public Works page says construction or building materials are not collected with regular trash and sends roofing and dirt or rock to a transfer station. Furniture and appliances can go out as bulk items, and unusually large loads can be arranged with the contractor, Car Trucking. Otherwise, rent a roll-off or take small loads to SOCRRA's Troy transfer station ($75 per ton, $50 minimum).
