Dumpster rental
in Southgate.

Southgate's curbside contract with Priority Waste takes bulk items weekly, but the City's trash pages say nothing about remodeling debris, and no City drop-off yard was found on the City's pages. For a roof, basement or kitchen tear-out, plan on a roll-off. Bin There Dump That lists 6- to 20-yard bins at $390 to $475 for a typical 7-day rental. Priority Waste quotes 10- to 40-yard containers with a typical 7- to 10-day rental. Keep the bin on the driveway and check with the Building Department first. Open roll-offs of 20 yards or more are allowed only at construction sites.

The first decision in Southgate

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That publishes flat prices for small bins up to 20 yards and a typical 7-day rental, but no weight allowance. Priority Waste publishes no prices but offers 30- and 40-yard containers and a typical 7- to 10-day rental, and it already runs Southgate's curbside service. Neither publishes included tonnage or overage rates, so get both in writing.

Your local checklist

Confirm the address is inside the City of Southgate: the 48195 area borders Wyandotte, Allen Park, Lincoln Park, Taylor and Riverview, which have their own rules and haulers.
Ask the rental company whether it holds a current City of Southgate waste hauler's license; Chapter 1060 requires a $250 annual license, and open roll-offs of 20 yards or more are allowed only at construction sites.
Call the Southgate Building Department (734-258-3010) before delivery to ask whether its storage-container permit and 10-foot right-of-way setback apply to your roll-off, and keep the bin off the street unless the City says otherwise.

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 Southgate 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 on request. Included disposal weight, overage per ton and extra-day rates are not published, so request a written quote. Do not fill above 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 Southgate page and the rates page. The Southgate page says residential rentals include delivery, pickup and driveway protection. Phone 734-430-9415.

The franchise's only listed address is 19540 Gerald St. in Northville, and Southgate appears in its list of areas served. The Southgate page's text mentions sizes from 4 yards, but no 4-yard bin is listed or priced. No weight allowance is published, so ask how much weight is included before loading roofing or concrete.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Priority Waste

Published sizes: 10-, 20-, 30- and 40-yard roll-offs; the page says dimensions are typical and may vary.
Rental & weight terms: The FAQ says rentals typically run 7 to 10 days, with extensions for an additional fee and early pickup available. Included weight, overage and extension rates are not published; request a written quote.
Price basis: Not published; quote through the order form or by phone at 1-855-927-8365.

Priority Waste is also Southgate's residential trash hauler. Its Southgate rental page names local landmarks (Fort Street, Eureka Road, the I-75 corridor) but is partly templated: it lists Ohio and Indiana locations and yards (Toledo, Indianapolis) and mixes curbside-service text with roll-off content. Its corporate office is in Clinton Township, and the page lists Wayne County yards in Romulus, Wayne and Hamtramck. It offers larger containers than Bin There Dump That.

No Southgate dumpster street-permit rule was found, so call the Building Department before a roll-off goes near the road

No City of Southgate page, permit form or ordinance section on putting 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 City Clerk's permit list covers block parties, solicitors and handbills but no street-obstruction or dumpster permit. The Engineering page says the City Engineer reviews private construction within public rights-of-way, but it names no permit. The Building Department does issue a Temporary Storage Container permit under Section 678.08. That section covers box-like pods used to store household goods and allows them in any zoning district with a permit from the Building Director. In general a pod may stay 30 days in a 12-month period, or until 10 days after a remodeling project ends, with one extension of up to 30 days. Only one is allowed per residential lot, and it must sit at least 10 feet from a street right-of-way and from property lines. The section does not mention dumpsters or roll-offs, and a debris roll-off is not clearly a storage container, but the Building Department is the office to ask. Keep the bin on your driveway. Call the Building Department at 734-258-3010 (14400 Dix-Toledo Road, weekdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed noon to 1 p.m.) before delivery, and ask whether a permit applies and how close to the sidewalk and lot line the bin may sit.

What matters locally

Priority Waste picks up bulk items weekly with no stated limit, but Freon appliances cost extra

Priority Waste's Southgate residential page lists weekly bulk or special pickup with no limit, and says residents pay for bulk items containing Freon, such as refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners. The City's trash page says carts and bulk items may go to the curb no earlier than 4 p.m. the day before collection, must be out by 6 a.m., and must be taken back in by 8 a.m. the next day. Loose trash bags are not picked up; trash must be in the cart. Neither page mentions construction or remodeling debris, so ask Priority Waste (1-855-927-8365) before setting out drywall, shingles or concrete. A roll-off is usually the practical choice for a tear-out.

Yard waste goes out in paper bags or stickered cans, April to December

Southgate's Department of Public Services says yard waste is collected from the first full week of April through the first full week of December; Priority Waste's page lists weekly compost pickup from April 6 to December 11, 2026. Use paper yard-waste bags or a can of 32 gallons or less with a yellow compost sticker from DPS at City Hall; plastic bags are not accepted, and raking or blowing leaves into the street is prohibited. Household hazardous waste goes to Wayne County collection events; the DPS page says it will post the 2027 dates when the County sets them. DPS is at 734-258-3075.

Questions about renting in Southgate.

Can Priority Waste's weekly bulk pickup handle my clean-out instead of a dumpster?

For furniture and household items, often yes. Priority Waste's Southgate page lists weekly bulk pickup with no stated limit, and residents pay extra for Freon appliances. Items go out no earlier than 4 p.m. the day before pickup and must be out by 6 a.m., according to the City's trash page. Neither page says remodeling debris such as drywall, shingles or concrete is accepted, so call Priority Waste first; for a tear-out, a roll-off is the safer plan.

Does Southgate's storage-container permit apply to a rented dumpster?

Not clearly. Section 678.08 regulates portable storage containers, defined as box-like containers delivered by truck to store household or other goods, and requires a Building Director permit, time limits and a 10-foot setback from the street right-of-way and property lines. It does not mention dumpsters or roll-offs. The Building Department lists that permit but no dumpster permit, and no street-placement rule for dumpsters was found. Ask the Building Department before delivery.
