Dumpster rental
in Royal Oak.

Royal Oak's curbside service will not take concrete, brick or stone, and bags are capped at 40 pounds, so a basement, kitchen or patio tear-out usually needs a roll-off. Bin There Dump That lists 6- to 20-yard bins at $390 to $475 for a typical 7-day rental, while Priority Waste, which also runs the City's curbside collection, quotes 10- to 40-yard containers. Put the bin on your driveway if you can: a street bin needs a contractor-pulled Container in ROW permit costing at least $342 plus a $2,000 refundable guarantee.

The first decision in Royal Oak

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That publishes flat prices ($390 to $475) for small bins up to 20 yards that fit Royal Oak's short driveways, with a typical 7-day period. Priority Waste publishes no prices but offers 30- and 40-yard containers and a 7- to 10-day typical rental. Neither publishes included tonnage or overage rates, so get both in writing, and ask each whether it will pull the City's right-of-way permit for a street placement.

Your local checklist

Confirm the address is in the City of Royal Oak and not Royal Oak Township, Ferndale, Berkley, Clawson or Madison Heights, which share Royal Oak mailing areas but have their own rules.
If the bin cannot fit on your driveway, have the rental company or your contractor apply for the Engineering Division's Container in ROW permit on BSA Online before delivery; homeowners cannot apply, and the City requires lighted barricades, planking and a tarp.
Keep concrete, brick and stone out of your trash cart, since the City's hauler will not take them; ask the rental company whether a separate clean-concrete load is cheaper, or haul it to a concrete recycler.

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 Royal Oak 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 periods by arrangement. Included disposal weight, overage per ton and extra-day rates are not published; 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 Royal Oak page and the rates page. The Royal Oak 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. Its smaller bins suit Royal Oak's short driveways. The page publishes no weight allowance, so ask what tonnage is included before loading plaster, shingles or concrete. Ask whether the franchise will pull the City's Container in ROW permit if the bin must go in the street.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Priority Waste

Published sizes: 10-, 20-, 30- and 40-yard roll-offs; the page calls its dimensions typical and says they may vary, so specify what fits when ordering.
Rental & weight terms: Typical rental of 7 to 10 days, with earlier pickup on request and extensions for an additional fee that is not stated. Included weight and overage rates are not published; request a written quote.
Price basis: Not published. Phone 1-855-927-8365 (also listed as 586-228-1200 for residential service).

Priority Waste is the outside contractor named on the City's refuse page for Royal Oak's curbside collection, and it also rents roll-offs. Its Royal Oak dumpster page is partly templated: one paragraph describes service in Rossford, Ohio and Ohio communities, which does not apply here. The page lists the corporate office at 45000 River Ridge Dr. in Clinton Township and an Oakland County yard at 1750 Brown Rd. in Auburn Hills. It offers larger containers (30 and 40 yards) than Bin There Dump That.

A bin in a Royal Oak street needs an Engineering 'Container in ROW' permit, pulled by a contractor, with a $2,000 guarantee

The City of Royal Oak Engineering Division lists a 'Container in ROW' permit for dumpsters, storage pods or other containers placed in the roadway, a parking space or the public right-of-way. The Division says permits must be applied for by a contractor, who registers with Engineering (registration form and certificate of insurance to engineering@romi.gov) and then applies online at BSA Online, uploading a street-view or aerial image showing where the container will sit, its dimensions, any parking meters to be blocked and the traffic-control devices. The Engineering Permit instructions set the cost as the permit fee plus at least two hours of inspection, which under the FY 2026-2027 fee schedule is $130 plus $106 an hour (at least $342), along with a $2,000 performance guarantee returned after a passing final inspection. Blocked metered spaces cost $25 per meter per day, paid at the Police Department. The container must sit on paved roadway where parking is legally allowed, never on the sidewalk or the grass strip, with lighted Type II barricades, planking under its wheels or rails, and a tarp or cover when it is not being filled; placement and final inspections are booked at least 24 hours ahead. No maximum number of days is stated. Keeping the bin on your own driveway avoids all of this. Engineering is at 203 S. Troy Street (248-246-3260 per the permit instructions).

What matters locally

Concrete, brick and stone are excluded from curbside pickup

Royal Oak's refuse pages say trash goes out by 7 a.m. on collection day (not before 5 p.m. the night before), refuse bags may not exceed 40 pounds and a trash container 60 pounds, and household furniture is taken at the curb if left whole or broken down into bundles under 4 feet and 40 pounds. Concrete, bricks and stones are an excluded item that the hauler will not take, even when attached to something else; the City points residents to local concrete recyclers or SOCRRA instead. That makes a roll-off, or a direct trip to a concrete crusher, the realistic route for patio, step or chimney tear-outs. Questions go to the Department of Public Services at 248-246-3300 (1600 N. Campbell Road).

SOCRRA's Coolidge Road transfer station takes trash loads at $75 a ton

The regional authority Royal Oak belongs to runs a garbage transfer station at 991 Coolidge in Troy, between 14 Mile and Maple across from Meijer. Its published rate is $75 per ton with a $50 minimum (effective July 1, 2025), no appointment needed, but dumping hours are short: weekdays 6 to 10 a.m. for hand unloading and Saturdays 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The page does not say whether shingles, drywall or concrete are accepted, so call SOCRRA (248-288-5150) first. Household hazardous waste, electronics and recycling go to SOCRRA's appointment-only drop-off center next door at 995 Coolidge, open only to residents of the 12 member communities.

Questions about renting in Royal Oak.

Can I put a dumpster on the street in front of my Royal Oak house?

Only with a City Engineering permit. Royal Oak lists a 'Container in ROW' permit for dumpsters, roll-offs and storage pods in the roadway or a parking space, and says permits must be applied for by a registered contractor with commercial liability insurance. The fee is the $130 permit fee plus at least two hours of inspection at $106 an hour, a $2,000 performance guarantee refunded after final inspection, and $25 per day for each blocked parking meter. The container must be on paved roadway where parking is legal, off the sidewalk and grass, with lighted barricades, planking and a cover when not being filled.

Where can I take a small load of remodeling trash instead of renting a bin?

SOCRRA's transfer station at 991 Coolidge in Troy accepts trash loads for $75 a ton with a $50 minimum, but only weekday mornings from 6 to 10 a.m. and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Its page does not say whether construction debris such as shingles or concrete is accepted, so call 248-288-5150 first. The City itself excludes concrete, bricks and stones from curbside collection and points residents to local concrete recyclers or SOCRRA.
