Dumpster rental
in Howell.

Howell's curb service under Priority Waste takes one bulky item a week and refuses construction and demolition debris, and City brush pickup no longer takes stumps or shrubs. For a remodel, roof or yard overhaul, a roll-off is the practical route. Bin There Dump That lists 6- to 20-yard bins at $390 to $475 for a typical 7-day rental; Priority Waste, the City's own curbside hauler, offers 10- to 40-yard roll-offs by quote. Plan on driveway placement, because the City's right-of-way permit is written for construction work and does not mention dumpsters.

The first decision in Howell

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That publishes flat prices for bins up to 20 yards and a typical 7-day period, but no weight allowance or overage rate. Priority Waste publishes no prices, goes up to 40 yards and quotes a typical 7 to 10 days with extra time at an unstated fee. Neither publishes included tonnage, so get the weight allowance, overage rate and extra-day charge in writing from both.

Your local checklist

Confirm the address is inside the City of Howell: a Howell mailing address can also belong to Howell Township or another neighboring township, each with its own ordinances and trash arrangements, and this guide covers only the City.
Before a bin goes on Grand River, a downtown side street or the strip by the curb, email HowellRightofWay@cityofhowell.org or call Public Services (517-546-7510); the right-of-way permit can carry escrow, insurance and five days' notice.
Sort the job first: one bulky item a week goes free on the Tuesday route, brush under four inches goes out on the City's monthly April–October pickup, and paint or chemicals go to Livingston County's hazardous waste events, so the roll-off holds only debris.

2 researched options.

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 Howell page and the franchise's Bin Rates and Sizes page.
Rental & weight terms: The rates page gives 7 days as the typical rental period in Southeast Michigan, with longer periods by request. Included disposal weight, overage per ton and extra-day rates are not published, so request a written quote. Load no higher than the top edge, since overfilling can bring extra charges.
Price basis: $390 (6-yard), $400 (10-yard), $435 (15-yard), $475 (20-yard), as listed on the Howell page and the rates page. Phone 734-430-9415.

The franchise's contact address is 19540 Gerald St. in Northville, and its Southeast Michigan page lists Howell among its service areas. The Howell page is mostly general marketing text: it mentions bins from 4 yards although the smallest size listed is 6 yards, and it gives no Howell-specific permit or placement information. The rates page says price depends on size, rental length and debris type, so ask how much weight is included before loading shingles or concrete.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Priority Waste

Published sizes: 10-, 20-, 30- and 40-yard roll-offs, per the Howell page, which notes that actual dimensions vary and asks customers to confirm them when ordering.
Rental & weight terms: The page gives a typical rental of 7 to 10 days, with early pickup available and longer rentals for an extra fee that is not stated. Included weight, overage per ton and extra-day rates are not published, so request a written quote.
Price basis: Not published. Phone 1-855-927-8365 (855-WASTE-65).

Priority Waste is also the City of Howell's contracted residential trash, recycling and yard-waste hauler. Its Howell roll-off page lists only its corporate office in Clinton Township, not a local yard. The page is partly templated: its nearby-city links point to Indiana and Ohio, and it mixes curbside cart wording into the roll-off section. Its local references (downtown Grand River Avenue, the Melon Festival, Balloonfest) do name Howell. It offers larger containers than Bin There Dump That but publishes no prices.

Get the missing numbers in writing.

Ask for delivery, pickup, included tons and days, per-ton overage, extra-day charges, fuel, tax, prohibited-item fees, swaps and blocked-trip charges. “Quote required” means the reviewed source did not establish a usable fixed total.

Howell's right-of-way permit form does not mention dumpsters, so ask Public Services before a bin goes in the street

No City of Howell page or ordinance section on placing a dumpster or roll-off in a street or right-of-way was found for this guide, and that does not mean no permit is needed. The City's Department of Public Services issues Right of Way Permits from 150 Marion Street. Its application asks for the applicant and contractor, start and completion dates, the extent of the project and a sketch, and it lists possible escrows of $1,000 for a major or local street and $250 for curb and gutter or each sidewalk flag, plus a $25 nonrefundable inspection fee. Inspections need 48 hours' notice. The general conditions require notice to Public Services at least five days before work starts, traffic control that follows the Michigan manual for traffic control devices, no work on weekdays from 4 p.m. to 8 a.m., weekends or holidays without City approval, and insurance in amounts the City sets. The form is written for construction work such as driveways and sidewalks and never mentions dumpsters or containers. The simplest course is to keep the bin on your own driveway. If it has to go in the road or on the strip by the curb, email HowellRightofWay@cityofhowell.org or call Public Services at 517-546-7510 before delivery, and have the rental company arrange any permit, escrow or insurance certificate the City asks for.

What matters locally

Curb service takes one bulky item a week, but no construction or demolition debris

The City's rubbish page says Priority Waste collects one bulky item a week free on the Tuesday route, set out by 6 a.m. Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners need their Freon removed by a certified technician first, carpet must be rolled in 4-foot bundles of no more than 60 pounds (up to 10 bundles), mattresses must be wrapped in plastic, and anything two people cannot lift safely is left behind. Construction and demolition debris, large auto parts and tires are not taken. Priority Waste's own Howell brochure describes bundled construction material as a bulk exception, which conflicts with the City page, so follow the City page or call Priority Waste (586-228-1200) before setting out building scraps. Household hazardous waste goes to Livingston County's Solid Waste program (517-545-9609), not the curb.

City brush pickup runs monthly from April to October, but not for stumps or contractor brush

Howell's Department of Public Works picks up brush from April through October: the first Monday of each month for homes north of Grand River and the third Monday for homes south of it, continuing through the week. Brush goes to the curb no earlier than the Friday before and no later than 7 a.m. on pickup day, stacked with cut ends toward the street and no more than four inches in diameter. Stumps, roots and shrubs are no longer collected because there is no disposal site for them, and brush from a hired tree service is the contractor's to haul away. Questions go to DPW at 517-546-7510. If you are pulling out shrubs or stumps, ask your roll-off company whether it accepts them and at what charge.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Howell.

Will Howell's Tuesday trash pickup take my remodeling debris?

No. The City's rubbish page says construction and demolition debris, large auto parts and tires will not be taken, and only one bulky item a week is collected free. Priority Waste's Howell brochure describes bundled construction material as a bulk exception, which conflicts with the City page, so check with Priority Waste (586-228-1200) before setting out even a small amount. For more than a few pieces, a roll-off is the usual answer.

Do I need a City permit to put a dumpster in the street in Howell?

This guide could not confirm a dumpster-specific rule either way. The Department of Public Services issues Right of Way Permits from 150 Marion Street; the application and general conditions cover work in the street right-of-way, with possible escrows of $250 to $1,000, a $25 inspection fee, five days' notice, set work hours and traffic control, but they never mention dumpsters or containers. Keeping the bin on your driveway avoids the question. Otherwise, email HowellRightofWay@cityofhowell.org or call 517-546-7510 before delivery.
