Homeowner Guide

Dumpster Tips for Detroit Homeowners

Expert advice to maximize your rental and avoid common mistakes

🛡️

Driveway Protection Guide

Protect your Detroit driveway with plywood boards under the dumpster. Our drivers carry boards for concrete protection. Weight distribution prevents cracks and damage to your property.

💰

Avoid Overage Fees

Estimate weight before loading. Kitchen cabinets and appliances are heavier than expected. Mix heavy items with lighter materials. Call us if you're unsure about weight limits.

📏

Loading Efficiency Tips

Load heavy items first, fill gaps with smaller debris. Break down boxes and furniture when possible. Layer materials to maximize space. Keep the top level with container walls.

🏠

HOA Compliance

Check HOA rules before ordering. Some Detroit communities require pre-approval. We provide documentation for HOA submissions. Schedule delivery during permitted hours.

🚗

Small Lot Placement

Detroit homes often have narrow driveways. Measure access points before ordering. Consider street placement with permits. Our drivers are experienced with tight spaces.

Timing Your Project

Order dumpster when you're ready to start. Don't let it sit empty. Plan demo and disposal phases. Weekend delivery available for working homeowners.
