Renting a dumpster shouldn't be complicated. We have simplified the process down to three steps so you can focus on the project, not the logistics.
That is the whole process. No forms to fill out, no confusing contracts. Just a straightforward conversation and a dumpster at your door when you need it.
Choosing the right size saves you money, keeps the job moving, and prevents the headache of an overloaded container. We carry six standard roll-off sizes to match every project, from a single-room cleanout to a full commercial demolition.
The 10-yard is a solid choice for smaller residential jobs like garage cleanouts, attic purges, or a single-room remodel. It holds the equivalent of roughly 4 pickup truck loads. If you have a focused project and limited driveway space, this size fits the bill.
Step up to the 12-yard for basement cleanouts, deck removal, or carpet and flooring removal from multiple rooms. It holds the equivalent of roughly 5 pickup truck loads. A good middle-ground option for home renovation projects that are bigger than a single room but do not need a massive container.
The 15-yard handles kitchen or bathroom remodels, drywall disposal, and larger landscaping debris cleanups with ease. It holds the equivalent of roughly 7 pickup truck loads. This size works well for remodeling projects where the debris adds up faster than expected.
For whole-house cleanouts, roofing tear-offs, estate cleanouts, or moving day purges, the 20-yard is one of our most popular options. It holds the equivalent of roughly 9 pickup truck loads. When you are clearing out a lot of material in one shot, this size keeps the job efficient.
Major renovations, commercial cleanouts, and demolition projects call for the 30-yard. It holds the equivalent of roughly 13 pickup truck loads. Contractors running deck or shed demolitions, or managing large construction debris, rely on this size to keep the site clean and organized.
The 40-yard is built for the biggest jobs: new construction site cleanup, large commercial projects, pool removal, and barn or garage demolition. It holds the equivalent of roughly 15 pickup truck loads. When the scale of a project demands serious capacity, this is the container for the job.
If your project involves dense, heavy material like concrete, dirt, brick, or asphalt, a standard roll-off may hit weight limits before it fills up. Our lowboy container is specifically designed for heavy debris and is rated for significantly higher weight capacity per load. Call us and we will tell you whether a lowboy makes more sense for your project.
Whether you're clearing out a garage or running a full demo, we can handle a wide range of materials. Here is what we commonly accept:
We give straight answers on bin size and pricing, and that includes being upfront about what we cannot take. A few items are restricted or prohibited: electronics, hazardous waste, tires, and paint typically cannot go in a roll-off. If you are unsure about a specific item, just ask when you call and we will let you know right away. We make the rest easy.
We work with homeowners, landlords, contractors, and businesses across Commerce Township and surrounding Oakland County communities. Whatever the project size, we have the equipment and the experience to support it.
From garage and basement cleanouts to full estate and foreclosure cleanouts, we handle the residential jobs that pile up over time. Spring cleaning, fall purges, moving day, and hoarding situations are all in our wheelhouse. Outdoor projects like yard waste removal, fence takedowns, deck demolition, and landscaping debris are just as common. We take pride in the work we do, and that shows in how we treat every customer and every project, no matter the size.
Roofing crews rely on us for shingle disposal and tear-off debris removal. Renovation teams use our containers for kitchen and bathroom remodels, drywall, tile, and flooring. Demolition contractors bring us in for concrete, brick, asphalt, pool removal, and shed removal. We also support new construction site cleanup from start to finish. If you run multiple jobs, ask about contractor accounts and multi-job flexibility. We work around your schedule, not the other way around.
Office cleanouts, retail buildouts, storage unit purges, and landlord turnovers are all projects we handle regularly. Property managers and landlords appreciate our recurring rental and swap-out service for ongoing work. You'll talk to someone who knows the local dump and transfer stations, which means we can answer real questions about debris types, weight limits, and disposal costs without putting you on hold. Call today and let's get started.
The hardest part of any cleanout is knowing where to start. We take the logistics off your plate so you can get moving.
We offer same-day and next-day delivery throughout Commerce Township and the surrounding area. When we arrive, we work with you on placement to protect your driveway and surrounding surfaces. We will walk through where the container can and cannot safely go based on your property layout.
Rental periods are flexible, with no pressure to rush. If your project runs longer than expected, extensions are available. Just call us and we will sort it out. We are also upfront about weight limits: every container has a tonnage allowance included in the flat-rate price, and if a project is running heavy, we will let you know what to expect before pickup so there are no surprises.
If your project requires placing a container on a public street, some municipalities require a permit. We can point you in the right direction on that front. You call, we deliver.
Most homeowners have never rented a dumpster before, and the pricing can feel like a mystery. We keep it simple.
Our flat-rate pricing covers delivery, pickup, disposal, and the rental period. You get one number upfront, and that is what you pay. Your free estimate is based on the size you need, the type of debris you are hauling, and the length of the rental. Factors like heavier materials or extended rental periods can affect the final cost, and we explain all of that before you commit.
There are no surprise fees after pickup. What we quote is what you owe. Locally owned. Fairly priced. Always on time.

Commerce Township is our home base, and we know the roads, the neighborhoods, and the local hauling logistics that come with working in Oakland County. We deliver fast because we are already nearby.
We also serve customers throughout the surrounding communities, including:
If you are close to Commerce Township, chances are we can get a container to you quickly. Give us a call and we will confirm availability for your area.
Every rental includes a tonnage allowance in the flat-rate price. If your load runs over that allowance, an overage charge applies based on the excess weight. We explain the overage policy clearly before you commit so there are no surprises at pickup.
Dirt is a dense, heavy material and can exceed the weight limits of a standard roll-off quickly. If you have a significant amount of dirt to move, ask us about the lowboy, which is built for high-weight loads and is a better fit for that type of debris.
Roofing shingles are heavier than they look, and multiple layers add up fast. The 20-yard is a common choice for single-layer residential roofs, but if you have multiple shingle layers or a larger roof, a 30-yard gives you the capacity and the weight room to handle it. Call us with the details and we will help you size it right.
When your container is full, call us and we will pull the full bin and drop a fresh one in its place. This is especially useful for contractors running ongoing demolition or construction projects where debris accumulates continuously. Ask about contractor accounts if you need recurring swap-outs across multiple jobs.
The 40-yard, equivalent to roughly 15 pickup truck loads, is built for the largest jobs: full commercial demolitions, new construction site cleanup, large-scale land clearing, pool removal, and barn or garage teardowns. When volume is the primary concern and nothing smaller will do, this is the container for the job.
The 15-yard is a strong choice for a single kitchen or bathroom remodel, holding the equivalent of roughly 7 pickup truck loads. If you are doing both at once or the project involves significant cabinetry, tile, and drywall, stepping up to a 20-yard gives you more room to work without worrying about overloading.
A 15-yard or 20-yard is typically the right range for a basement cleanout, depending on how much has accumulated over the years. The 15-yard holds the equivalent of roughly 7 pickup truck loads, and the 20-yard holds roughly 9. If you are unsure, call us and we will help you estimate based on what you are clearing out.
No. Batteries are a restricted item and cannot go in a roll-off container. This includes car batteries, lithium batteries, and household batteries. We go over prohibited items with every customer before delivery so nothing gets loaded that should not be there.
We take care with placement to avoid damage to your driveway surface. If you want additional protection under the container, such as plywood boards, let us know when you call and we can discuss what makes sense for your specific surface and container size.
In some cases, yes, but a permit from the local municipality may be required before a container can sit on a public street. We can point you in the right direction on the permit process when you call so you are covered before delivery day.
Merida's Junk Removal & Services has been a trusted part of this community for nearly 20 years. We show up when we say we will, we price jobs fairly, and we stand behind every delivery. Small business values. Big-job capability. Call today.

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.
