Merida's Junk Removal & Services has been handling roll-off dumpster rentals for homeowners and contractors in Commerce Township and across Oakland County since 2006. That is 20 years of showing up on time, dropping clean bins where customers need them, and hauling everything away without hassle. Whether you are clearing out a basement, tearing off a roof, or managing a full commercial demolition, we have the equipment and the experience to get the job done right. Call us today for a free dumpster rental quote and let us put two decades of local knowledge to work for your project.
We started this business in 2006 with a straightforward idea: Commerce Township and the surrounding Oakland County communities deserved a dumpster rental company that treated every customer like a neighbor. The founders built the business from the ground up right here in town, learning the roads, the local transfer stations, and the needs of the people living and working in the area.
Twenty years later, that foundation still holds. We are a family-owned operation, and the same commitment that drove us in those early years drives us today. We take pride in the work we do, from the condition of the bins we deliver to the care we take placing them on your property. You will talk to someone who knows the local dump and transfer stations, not someone reading from a screen in another city.
That local accountability is what has kept customers coming back year after year. When you call us, you reach someone personally invested in making your project go smoothly.
Whether you are clearing out a garage or running a full demo, we have a bin and a rental plan that fits. Our services cover the full range of residential and commercial needs: home cleanouts, construction and demolition debris, roofing tear-offs, estate and foreclosure cleanouts, yard waste and landscaping debris, and ongoing contractor accounts for multi-job work.
We work with homeowners tackling weekend projects and with contractors managing large commercial builds. The scope changes, but the approach stays the same: deliver the right bin, on time, and pick it up when you are ready. We make the rest easy.
Most homeowners have never rented a dumpster before. The process feels unfamiliar, and it is easy to wonder whether you are ordering the right size or paying a fair price. We walk every residential customer through it, step by step.
Common residential projects we handle include garage cleanouts, basement and attic cleanouts, yard waste and landscaping debris, general household junk removal, estate cleanouts, and hoarding or foreclosure cleanouts. We give you straight answers on bin size and pricing before anything is confirmed, so there are no surprises when the truck arrives.
We also pay attention to placement. If you need the bin on a driveway or in a tight spot, we will work with you to position it safely without damaging the surface.
Contractors and commercial clients need a rental company that keeps pace with the job site. We do. We handle construction debris, full demolition dumpster rentals, roofing and shingles disposal, concrete and heavy material removal, and remodeling projects of every size, from kitchen and bathroom tear-outs to flooring removal and drywall disposal.
We offer flexible rental periods with no pressure to rush. If a project runs long, we work with you. Recurring rentals and commercial accounts are available for contractors who need consistent service across multiple jobs. We keep the logistics simple so you can focus on the work.
Ordering the right size saves money and keeps your project moving. Go too small and you are paying for a second haul. Go too large and you are paying for space you do not need. Here is a plain-language guide to every size we carry.
The 10-yard is our smallest standard bin, equivalent to roughly 4 pickup truck loads. It is a solid choice for small garage cleanouts, single-room decluttering, or a modest yard waste project. If your debris volume is limited and your space is tight, this is often the right call.
At equivalent to roughly 5 pickup truck loads, the 12-yard sits between our entry-level and mid-range options. It works well for slightly larger cleanouts, small bathroom remodels, or a full attic clear-out where the 10-yard might come up short.
The 15-yard is equivalent to roughly 7 pickup truck loads and is one of our most popular sizes for residential work. Basement cleanouts, estate cleanouts, and moderate landscaping projects all fit comfortably in this bin without requiring a step up to a larger container.
Equivalent to roughly 9 pickup truck loads, the 20-yard handles most mid-size residential and light commercial jobs. Roofing tear-offs, kitchen or bathroom remodels, and whole-house junk removal projects are common fits. This is a versatile size that works across a wide range of project types.
The 30-yard is equivalent to roughly 13 pickup truck loads and is built for larger jobs. New construction cleanups, major renovation projects, and commercial debris removal are where this bin earns its keep. If you are clearing a large property or managing a multi-room demo, this size gives you the room to work.
Our largest standard bin, the 40-yard is equivalent to roughly 15 pickup truck loads. It is the right choice for full commercial demolitions, large-scale construction projects, and any job where volume is the primary concern. When the debris is substantial, this bin handles it.
The lowboy is a separate, low-profile container designed for dense, heavy materials like concrete, dirt, brick, and asphalt. It is not rated by pickup truck loads. Instead, it is built to handle the weight of heavy debris that would exceed the limits of a standard roll-off. If your project involves significant amounts of concrete or soil, ask us whether the lowboy is the right fit.

Renting a dumpster shouldn't be complicated. Our pricing is flat-rate, and everything included in your rental is spelled out before we confirm the order. No hidden fees. No surprise charges on pickup day.
We provide free estimates over the phone. Before delivery, we explain your tonnage allowance clearly so you understand what is covered and what would trigger an overage charge if the load runs heavy. We would rather have that conversation upfront than leave you with an unexpected bill.
Fast turnaround. Fair pricing. No excuses.
The hardest part of any cleanout is knowing where to start. We try to make the logistics the easy part. Same-day and next-day delivery is available depending on your location and current schedule. Call for a quote, confirm the details, and we handle delivery from there.
Rental periods are flexible. If you need extra time, extensions are available. If your bin needs to be placed on a public street, we can walk you through the permit process for your area so everything stays above board. You call, we deliver.
We take our disposal responsibilities seriously. When your bin comes back to us, we sort the load at the transfer station and divert recyclable materials wherever possible. Concrete, metal, and clean wood are separated from general waste when the material allows for it.
We also give every customer clear guidance on prohibited and restricted materials before delivery. Hazardous waste, tires, batteries, and certain electronics cannot go in the bin, and we make sure you know that before anything is loaded. Responsible disposal starts with honest communication, and we provide that on every job.
We are based in Commerce Township and serve customers throughout Oakland County. Our regular service area includes Walled Lake, Wixom, Milford, White Lake Township, Novi, West Bloomfield Township, Waterford Township, and Wolverine Lake, along with the communities in between.

How do I know which dumpster size is right for my project?
The best starting point is thinking in terms of pickup truck loads. A single-room cleanout or garage purge usually fits in a 10-yard or 12-yard bin. A full kitchen or bathroom remodel typically calls for a 15-yard. Roofing jobs and whole-room renovations are a natural fit for our 20-yard, which is our most popular size. When you call for a free estimate, we ask a few quick questions about your project and recommend the right container so you are not paying for space you do not need.
What is the fill-line rule and why does it matter?
Every dumpster has a fill line marked near the top of the container. Debris must stay at or below that line before we can legally transport the bin on public roads. Overfilling creates a safety hazard and can result in additional fees or a required reload before pickup. We explain this clearly when you book so there are no surprises on haul-away day.
Transparent Flat-Rate Pricing
The price we quote covers delivery, pickup, disposal, and your included tonnage allowance. No fuel surcharges, no fees added after the fact.
What items are not allowed in the dumpster?
We cannot accept hazardous materials, including paint, solvents, motor oil, and chemicals. Tires, certain electronics, refrigerants, and asbestos-containing materials are also prohibited. When you call, we walk you through the restricted items list for your specific load so you know exactly what can and cannot go in the bin before we drop it off.
Do I need a permit to place a dumpster on the street in Commerce Township?
If the dumpster sits entirely on your private driveway or property, a permit is generally not required. Placement on a public street or right-of-way in Commerce Township may require a local permit from the township or Oakland County. When you call us, we can point you in the right direction on the permitting process so you are covered before delivery day.
How does same-day and next-day delivery work?
Same-day delivery is available across Commerce Township when you call early enough in the day. Next-day service covers the surrounding Oakland County area. We give you a realistic delivery window when you book, and we keep you updated if the schedule shifts. The sooner you call, the better your chances of getting a bin on-site the same day.
Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery
We offer same-day drop-off across Commerce Township and next-day service throughout Oakland County. Call in the morning and we can often have a bin at your door before the end of the day.
How long is a standard rental period?
Rental periods are flexible and based on the scope of your project. We offer flexible rental periods with no pressure to rush. If your job runs longer than expected, extensions are available. Just call us before your scheduled pickup and we will work out the extra time and any associated cost before the driver heads out.
What happens if my load goes over the included weight allowance?
Every rental includes a tonnage allowance in the quoted price. If your debris pushes past that limit, an overage charge applies based on the additional weight at the disposal facility. We explain the overage policy in plain terms before you commit so the number you agree to upfront is as close to your final cost as possible.
What is included in the flat-rate price?
Our flat-rate quote covers delivery to your property, the rental period, pickup when you are done, and disposal up to the included weight allowance. There are no fuel surcharges added at the end and no surprise fees when we come to collect the bin. If anything could affect your final price, we tell you before you book.
Honest Advice on the Right Size
We give you straight answers on bin size and pricing before the truck rolls out, so you are not guessing and not paying for capacity you do not need.
Do I need to be home when the dumpster is delivered or picked up?
You do not need to be present for delivery as long as we have clear placement instructions when you call. For pickup, just call us when you are ready and we schedule the haul-away at a time that works for you. If you want to mark a specific spot on your driveway, that helps our driver place the container exactly where you need it.
What makes the lowboy different from a standard 10-yard dumpster?
The lowboy is a separate, low-profile container designed specifically for dense, heavy debris such as concrete, brick, asphalt, and dirt. It carries a higher weight capacity than a standard 10-yard and sits closer to the ground for easier shoveling and loading. If your project involves breaking up a slab, driveway, or foundation, the lowboy is the right call rather than a standard roll-off.
