Everything you need to know about renting a dumpster in Flint
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.
Our standard rental period is 7 days, which works for most projects in Genesee County. 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. For urgent needs, call us in the morning at (810) 373-5865 and we'll do our best to accommodate same-day delivery based on truck availability and your location.
We serve Flint and all of Genesee County, including Burton, Grand Blanc, Davison, Swartz Creek, Fenton, Flushing, Mount Morris, Clio, Linden, and surrounding communities. See our complete service area coverage for specific cities.
To ensure smooth delivery:
Yes. Driveways are the most common placement location and typically don't require permits. We recommend placing boards or plywood under the dumpster to protect your driveway surface from potential scuffing. Our dumpsters have rubber wheels and we take care during placement, but extra protection is always a good idea for newer or 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.
Our dumpsters have protective rubber wheels to minimize surface impact. However, for extra protection on asphalt, decorative pavers, or newly sealed driveways, we recommend placing 3/4" plywood boards beneath the dumpster wheels. This distributes the weight and prevents any marking. If you're concerned about your specific surface, call us and we'll discuss the best protection options.
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. Heavy loads often require a smaller dumpster (like a 10 or 15-yard) to 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 throughout our primary service area (Genesee County) is included in your rental price. For locations at the edge of our service area or beyond, minimal distance fees may apply. 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.
