Michigan / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Livonia.

Livonia's curbside service takes two large household items a week but no construction materials, and the City's Glendale disposal site accepts only a wheelbarrow's worth of shingles or concrete per visit. For a roof, basement or kitchen tear-out, a roll-off is the practical choice. Bin There Dump That lists 6- to 20-yard bins at $390 to $475 for a typical 7-day rental, while WM quotes 15- to 30-yard containers. Plan on driveway placement, because no City street-placement rule could be confirmed for this guide.

The first decision in Livonia

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That publishes flat prices ($390 to $475) for smaller bins up to 20 yards and a typical 7-day period, but no weight allowance or overage rate. WM publishes no prices or rental length and offers larger containers up to 30 yards (its FAQ also mentions 40). Neither company 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 Livonia: nearby areas such as Redford Township, Westland, Farmington Hills and Northville Township have their own codes and haulers.
Before a bin goes in the street or on the strip between sidewalk and curb, call Livonia Engineering (734-466-2655); the City posts right-of-way permits and $1,000,000 insurance rules but no dumpster-specific rule, so get the answer before delivery.
Sort the job first: two furniture or appliance items a week go free at the curb, clean wood and stumps go free to the Glendale wood site, and hazardous waste goes to ERG on Merriman, so the roll-off can be sized for the rest.

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 Livonia page and the franchise's Bin Rates and Sizes page.
Rental & weight terms: The rates page gives 7 days as the typical rental period, with flexible 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 Livonia page and the rates page. The Livonia 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 Livonia among its Southeast Michigan service areas. The rates page says the final price depends on size, rental length and debris type, and it publishes no weight allowance, so ask how much weight is included before loading shingles or concrete.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

WM (Waste Management)

Published sizes: 15-, 20- and 30-yard roll-offs in the page's size table; the FAQ also mentions a 40-yard option and gives different 20-yard dimensions, so confirm sizes when ordering.
Rental & weight terms: The page offers daily, weekly and monthly rentals but publishes no rental length, weight allowance, overage or extra-day rates. Its FAQ says permit costs are in most cases not included in the rental price. Request a written quote.
Price basis: Not published. The page says rates depend on debris type, size, rental length and add-ons. Phone listed for temporary dumpster rental: 888-498-0212.

The page is titled Temporary Dumpster Rental in Livonia, MI but gives no Livonia address or local rules. It lists optional extras such as wheels, locking devices and rear swing doors, and offers larger sizes than Bin There Dump That.

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.

Livonia has no published dumpster street-permit rule that this guide could find, so ask Engineering before a bin goes in the road

No City of Livonia page or ordinance section on placing a dumpster or roll-off in a street or right-of-way was found for this guide. That does not mean no permit is needed. The Engineering Division issues permits for work in the City's right-of-way, including sidewalk and drive-approach permits, utility permits and over-weight or over-width transport permits. Its right-of-way insurance requirements call for $1,000,000 liability coverage naming the City for permitted activities in the right-of-way. Neither the Engineering page nor that insurance document mentions dumpsters or containers. The City's sanitation rules say carts at the curb must not sit in the roadway, and Livonia's zoning screening rule for dumpsters applies only to projects going through site plan review. The simplest course is to put the bin on your own driveway. If it has to go on the street or the strip between the sidewalk and the curb, call the Engineering Division at 734-466-2655 (12973 Farmington Road, weekdays 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) before delivery, and have the rental company arrange any permit or insurance certificate the City asks for.

What matters locally

The City's Refuse Disposal Site on Glendale takes small loads, including a wheelbarrow of shingles or concrete

Livonia runs a Refuse Disposal Site at 32300 Glendale Avenue, east of Farmington Road between Schoolcraft and Plymouth Roads, for Livonia households only. Fees are cash at the gate: $3 for a car, $5 for a passenger van, $16 for a pickup, cargo van or trailer under 8 feet, plus $3 per foot for longer trailers, and $5 per tire (up to 10). It takes household clutter, furniture, carpet, auto parts and small amounts of building material, up to a wheelbarrow full, including shingles and concrete. It does not take chemicals, paint, gasoline or pesticides. The page lists Saturday hours (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) after December 20, 2026, and Friday and Saturday hours from April 2, 2027. For a full roof or kitchen tear-out, the wheelbarrow limit means a roll-off is the practical choice.

Curb service takes two large items a week, but no construction materials

The City's sanitation pages say household furniture and appliances are picked up free on the regular collection day by a separate truck, up to two large items a week, with no request needed; refrigerator and freezer doors must come off. Construction materials are not collected at the curb; residents can haul them to the disposal site or arrange a paid special pickup with Priority Waste (586-228-1200). Clean wood, brush, logs and stumps can go free to the Mid-Michigan Recycling wood waste site next door at 32700 Glendale with a Livonia driver's licence and proof of residency. Household hazardous waste and electronics go to ERG Environmental at 13040 Merriman Road, weekdays, for $5 per 100 pounds.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Livonia.

Will Livonia's trash pickup take my remodeling debris?

No. The City's sanitation FAQ says no construction materials are collected at the curb; residents must haul them to the disposal site or arrange a paid special pickup with Priority Waste (586-228-1200). The Sanitation page also says large amounts of rubbish from clean-ups, moves, floods or fires are the resident's responsibility. The City's Refuse Disposal Site on Glendale accepts building materials only up to a wheelbarrow full per visit, including shingles and concrete, with a $3 to $16 vehicle fee. Anything larger usually calls for a roll-off.

Does Livonia's zoning code make me screen a rented dumpster in my driveway?

Not for an ordinary home project, based on the zoning ordinance read for this guide. Section 10.03(8) of Zoning Ordinance No. 3160 requires dumpsters to sit in a closed six-foot enclosure, but Section 10.01 applies Article X to sites that need site plan review, such as new or expanded developments and changes of use. No zoning section was found that defines or limits temporary roll-offs on house lots. A search of the City's code finds dumpster rules only in those site-plan landscaping standards and in a form-based commercial option.
