Dumpster rental
in Melvindale.

Melvindale's curbside contractor, Priority Waste, takes bulky items every week, so furniture and appliances from a clean-out may not need a roll-off at all. For remodeling debris or a whole-house clear-out, compare Bin There Dump That's flat $390 to $475 prices for 6- to 20-yard bins with a written quote from Priority Waste for 10- to 40-yard roll-offs. Plan for the City's Special Use Permit, which has a Dumpster option with a two-week limit, and confirm the details with the Building Department before delivery.

The first decision in Melvindale

Match the terms to your project.

Bin There Dump That publishes flat prices ($390 to $475) for bins up to 20 yards and a typical 7-day rental, with driveway protection on residential jobs. Priority Waste publishes no prices but offers larger roll-offs up to 40 yards and a 7- to 10-day typical rental, and it is also the City's curbside contractor. Neither publishes included tonnage or overage rates, so get both in writing, and with Melvindale's two-week dumpster permit limit, ask each what an extra week costs.

Your local checklist

Confirm the address is inside the City of Melvindale: Dearborn, Allen Park and Lincoln Park border it and have their own permit and dumpster rules.
Call the Building Department (313-429-1060) about the Special Use Permit before delivery: ask whether the Dumpster permit's two-week limit applies to your driveway bin, and whether you or the rental company pulls it.
Put furniture and appliances out for Priority Waste's weekly bulk pickup (Freon items cost $28) and keep the bin clear of your cart spot, so the roll-off can be sized for the debris that is left.

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 Melvindale 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 longer rentals on request. Included disposal weight, overage per ton and extra-day rates are not published; request a written quote. Fill only to the top edge (overfilling can add charges), and no hazardous materials.
Price basis: $390 (6-yard), $400 (10-yard), $435 (15-yard), $475 (20-yard), as listed on the Melvindale page and the rates page. The Melvindale 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 Melvindale among its Southeast Michigan service areas. The Melvindale page says bins range from 4 to 20 yards but lists no 4-yard bin. It gives no Melvindale permit information, so ask whether the company will handle the City's Special Use Permit and how much weight is included.

Melvindale's Building Department issues a Special Use Permit for dumpsters, with a two-week limit

The City of Melvindale Building Department lists a Special Use Permit for city-wide permits and dumpster tracking. The permit form (revision dated January 1, 2023) has a Dumpster checkbox marked "2 week limit", and its fee section shows a $50 base fee and a $25 administrative fee that apply to all permits. The form asks for the property address, the owner, and the company doing the work, and says all licensed contractors must be registered with the City (registration is $15) before a permit is issued. The form does not say whether the two-week limit or the permit covers a bin on a private driveway, in the street, or both, and no separate street or right-of-way dumpster rule was found on the City's website. Before delivery, call the Building Department at 313-429-1060 (3100 Oakwood Boulevard, weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed noon to 1 p.m.) and ask whether your bin needs this permit, who should pull it (you or the rental company), and what happens if the job runs past two weeks. Keep the bin off the street unless the City says otherwise.

What matters locally

Priority Waste picks up bulky items every week, with a $28 charge for Freon appliances

The City's DPW page names Priority Waste as Melvindale's provider for residential trash, recycling, yard waste and large bulky waste. Priority Waste's Melvindale page lists bulk and special pickup as weekly with no stated limit, and a $28 charge for items containing Freon such as refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners. Compost (yard waste) pickup runs weekly from April 1 to December 11, 2026; the City says yard waste stickers are sold at the City Clerk's Office or the Water Department. Neither page says whether construction or remodeling debris is accepted at the curb, so ask Priority Waste (586-228-1200 or 1-855-927-8365) before setting out drywall, shingles or concrete. Furniture and appliances from a clean-out can often go out on your regular day instead of filling a roll-off.

Cart placement and street rules from Melvindale DPW

Melvindale's DPW says trash and recycling carts must sit between the sidewalk and the street, no more than two feet from the curb or on your drive approach, or you risk a citation. It is also unlawful to sweep, blow or place leaves, grass clippings or other debris into the street. Collection day depends on where you live: the City's map assigns Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday routes by neighbourhood (for example, the area east of the rail line and south toward Outer Drive is Tuesday). The DPW yard is at 3315 Greenfield Road (313-429-1080, weekdays 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.). Keep a rented bin clear of the cart spot so Priority Waste trucks can still reach your carts.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Melvindale.

Do I need a City permit to put a rented dumpster at my Melvindale home?

Probably, so check first. The Building Department's Special Use Permit form, which the City describes as covering city-wide permits and dumpster tracking, has a Dumpster box marked with a two-week limit, and its fee section lists a $50 base fee plus a $25 administrative fee for all permits. The form does not say whether driveway bins, street placement or both are covered, and the City's garbage code says nothing about dumpsters beyond making the owner responsible for construction debris. Call the Building Department at 313-429-1060 before delivery and ask the rental company whether it will apply for you.

Can Melvindale's trash pickup take my clean-out items instead of a dumpster?

Partly. The City's DPW names Priority Waste as its provider for trash, recycling, yard waste and large bulky waste, and Priority Waste's Melvindale page lists bulk pickup weekly with no stated limit, plus a $28 charge for Freon appliances. Yard waste goes out with stickers sold at the City Clerk's Office or the Water Department, from April 1 to December 11, 2026. Neither page says construction or remodeling debris is collected at the curb, so for drywall, shingles or concrete, ask Priority Waste first or plan on a roll-off.
