Everything you need to know about renting a dumpster in Genesee County & surrounding counties
No. We do NOT offer weekly trash can pickup or curbside waste collection services.
We specialize exclusively in roll-off dumpster rentals for temporary projects like renovations, cleanouts, roofing, construction, and business needs. Our dumpsters are delivered to your location, you fill them on your schedule, and we pick them up when you're done.
For ongoing trash service with weekly cans, you'll need to contact a residential waste hauler.
A roll-off dumpster is a large, open-top waste container that's delivered on a special truck and "rolled off" onto your property. These are the rectangular dumpsters you see at construction sites and renovation projects. Sizes range from 10 to 40 cubic yards, and they're designed for temporary use during specific projects.
Yes—for businesses. Separate from roll-offs, we provide smaller 2, 4, 6, or 8 yard dumpsters that stay on your property (offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses) and get emptied on a regular route.
Most customers choose weekly or every other week; we can come more often when you need it, or set up daily or other custom schedules—just call (810) 373-5865.
Waste companies often call these front-load dumpsters because the truck lifts them from the front. If that term is confusing, think "scheduled business dumpster pickup"—same service. Commercial & business dumpster details →
Our standard rental period is 7 days, which works for most projects in Genesee County and surrounding counties (inside our service radius). Need more time? We offer flexible extensions—just give us a call before your rental period ends. Extended rental fees apply for periods beyond 7 days, and we'll provide clear pricing upfront.

We typically offer next-day delivery throughout Genesee County & surrounding counties.

During peak season (approximately April through November), book at least seven days ahead to guarantee availability.

To ensure smooth delivery:
Yes. Driveways are the most common placement location and typically don't require permits. Roll-offs are steel-wheeled containers—they do not have soft rubber tires like a cart. We take care during placement, and we strongly recommend placing boards or plywood under the wheels and rails to protect asphalt, pavers, decorative concrete, or newly sealed driveways.
It depends on placement:
Permit requirements vary by city. Check with your local municipality (City of Flint, Burton, Grand Blanc, etc.) if you need street placement. We're happy to provide the information they'll need, but obtaining the permit is the customer's responsibility.
Roll-off dumpsters ride on steel wheels on the container—they are not equipped with protective rubber wheels. Point loads and rolling during delivery or pickup can mark some surfaces. For asphalt, decorative pavers, stamped concrete, or newly sealed driveways, we recommend 3/4" plywood under the wheels and along where the rails contact the ground to spread the weight. If you're concerned about your specific surface, call us at (810) 373-5865 and we'll discuss placement and protection.
Prohibited items include:
If you're unsure whether something is acceptable, call us at (810) 373-5865 before loading it. We'll help you find proper disposal options for prohibited materials.
Yes, with restrictions. Heavy materials like concrete, brick, dirt, asphalt, and shingles are acceptable, but they have weight limits that differ from regular debris.
Important: Always call us before ordering if you have heavy materials. We'll recommend the appropriate dumpster size and explain weight restrictions. Dense heavy loads (concrete, brick, dirt, asphalt, etc.) are only allowed in a 10-yard, material-only—not mixed with other debris—so we stay within legal weight limits for transport. Overage fees apply if weight limits are exceeded.
Yes, you can mix general construction and household debris in the same dumpster. However, don't mix regular debris with heavy materials like concrete or dirt—these typically need separate containers due to weight restrictions. When in doubt, call us for guidance on what can be combined.
Our transparent pricing includes:
Additional charges may apply for: rental extensions, overweight loads, prohibited items requiring special disposal, or delivery beyond our standard service area.
Delivery pricing is built around our ~45-mile service radius from Swartz Creek. Many quotes include delivery and pickup within that area; outer locations or longer routes may include a reasonable distance or travel fee. We'll always provide your complete price upfront—no surprise charges.
Payment is due at the time of delivery. We accept cash, check, and all major credit cards. For contractor accounts with established credit, we offer invoicing with flexible payment terms—call (810) 373-5865 to set up an account.
