Fraser Dumpster Company delivers roll-off containers to properties across Fraser and the surrounding Macomb County area, and the process is straightforward. We drop the container, you load it on your schedule, and we haul it away when the job is done. The rental includes delivery, a set rental period, and pickup.
The calls we get come from all directions. Homeowners clearing out a garage, basement, or attic. Contractors managing roofing tear-offs, renovation waste, and construction and demolition debris. Property managers working through estate or foreclosure cleanouts. Whether the job is residential or commercial, the service works the same way: the right container at the right address, ready when you are.
The sooner you call, the sooner we can get a dumpster on your property. Calling early in the day, knowing where the container will sit, and having a rough sense of how long you need it all move things along faster.
Short-notice and urgent requests are handled when the schedule allows. If timing is tight, say so when you call and we will work with what is available. We also accommodate flexible rental periods, extensions, and multi-day or weekend rentals.
To get a delivery scheduled quickly, have the Fraser address ready, a general sense of the job type and approximate volume, and whether the container is going on a driveway or another surface. That information is all we need to confirm timing and get it on the calendar. You call, we deliver.
Getting the container in the right spot matters as much as getting the right size. Tight driveways, low-hanging trees or utility lines, soft ground after a rain, and narrow side-yard access are common in Fraser's residential neighborhoods, and each one affects where and how a drop can happen.
A successful delivery needs overhead clearance, a surface that can hold the container's weight without sinking, and enough room to set it without blocking traffic or a neighbor's access. Concrete, asphalt, and packed gravel are the most workable surfaces. If the driveway is the placement spot and you want to protect it, planks under the container are an option worth discussing before delivery.
Street placement is sometimes necessary. Requirements depend on whether the container sits on private property or in the public right-of-way, and we confirm what applies at your address before delivery. Agreeing on the placement spot ahead of time keeps the drop clean and avoids complications on the day. We make it that simple.
Before you start loading, it pays to know what can go in and what needs to stay out. Pulling a prohibited item from a full container is far harder than setting it aside at the start.
What we accept covers most of what a cleanup or construction job produces: general household junk, construction debris, roofing shingles, drywall, flooring, yard waste, and landscaping debris all go in without issue.
What cannot go in is the part that catches people off guard. Mattresses, tires, paint cans, propane tanks, batteries, electronics, appliances containing refrigerants, and any liquid or hazardous waste are prohibited. Asphalt shingles are restricted in some cases. Macomb County household hazardous waste drop-off programs handle most of these materials, and a quick search will point you to the nearest option.
Mixing prohibited materials into a load can affect the haul-away and the final cost, so it is worth separating them before the container lands. The right size makes the rest of the job easier.
Getting the right container starts with a quick call. The questions we ask on the phone are straightforward: what is the job, and roughly how much material will it produce.
A bathroom remodel generates far less debris than a full kitchen gut. A roofing tear-off on a ranch house needs less room than one on a two-story. For a garage cleanout that fills about 4 pickup truck loads worth, a 10-yard is usually the right call. A whole-house cleanout or estate cleanout that runs to about 8 pickup truck loads worth typically lands on a 20-yard.
Larger demolition or multi-room renovation jobs that produce around 11 pickup truck loads worth of debris tend to call for a 30-yard. Full-site construction or contractor work generating about 15 pickup truck loads worth is a 40-yard conversation. For heavy material like concrete, brick, and dirt, where weight is the constraint rather than volume, the lowboy variant is the better fit.
Homeowners and contractors get the same straight answer on sizing. We work from the job down to the container, not the other way around. We'll take care of it.
Size matters, and we'll help you get it right. Getting an accurate price takes one call, and having a few details ready makes it faster: the Fraser address, the container size or job type if size is uncertain, the rental period, and where the container will sit.
A quote covers the container, delivery, pickup, and a weight allowance. What moves the price is container size, rental length, and the weight of the load. Heavier materials like concrete cost more to dispose of than light debris, and that difference is reflected in the quote.
A few things can change the number after the fact: going over the stated weight allowance, extending the rental, or needing a second haul. We go over all of that on the call. Free, no-obligation dumpster quotes are available by phone, and the price is confirmed before anything is scheduled.
Requirements depend on whether the container sits on private property or in the public right-of-way, and they vary by municipality across Macomb County. We confirm what applies at your specific address before delivery so you are not guessing.
Tires are a prohibited item and cannot go in the container. They require separate disposal, and most Macomb County tire retailers and municipal drop-off programs handle them.
No. Asbestos requires specialized handling and dedicated abatement disposal that falls outside a standard roll-off rental. If your project involves suspected asbestos, that material requires separate handling by an abatement professional before any demolition debris goes in the container.
Extensions carry an additional daily or weekly charge that is explained during the original quote. Contact us before the rental window closes to arrange the extension and confirm the updated rate.
Paint cans, propane tanks, batteries, electronics, appliances containing refrigerants, mattresses, and liquid or hazardous waste are the items that most often end up in containers when they should not. Pulling those out before the container arrives is far easier than removing them from a loaded container later.
Hazardous materials require permitted disposal pathways that are separate from standard solid waste facilities. Mixing them into a container load can affect how the entire load is processed and may result in additional handling fees.
Yes. Multi-container rentals for large demolition, construction, or commercial projects are handled through the same process as a single drop.
Call (586) 742-9959 with the project details and we will confirm what can be arranged.
A garage or attic cleanout that fills about 4 pickup truck loads worth of material is typically covered by a 10-yard container. If the space has been accumulating for a long time or includes bulky furniture and shelving, stepping up to a 12-yard, which holds about 5 pickup truck loads worth, gives more room without a large jump in cost.
Estate and hoarder cleanouts vary widely, but jobs that fill about 8 pickup truck loads worth usually land on a 20-yard. If the volume looks larger, a 30-yard holds about 11 pickup truck loads worth and is the better call when multiple rooms are involved or decades of accumulation need to come out at once.
A full-site new build or whole-house demolition generating about 15 pickup truck loads worth of debris typically calls for a 40-yard. A room addition or partial demolition that produces around 11 pickup truck loads worth is usually a 30-yard conversation, and we help you confirm the right fit on the call.
Heavy materials compress weight into a smaller volume, which means a container can hit its weight limit well before it looks full. For jobs involving primarily concrete, brick, or dirt, the lowboy variant is designed around weight capacity rather than volume and is the better fit than a standard roll-off.
One call with Fraser Dumpster Company resolves the three things that matter before any job starts: the right container size, when delivery can happen, and what it will cost. We serve Fraser and the broader Macomb County area, and we are available every day from 5:00 AM to 10:30 PM.
Local service. Right size. Ready to roll.

Choosing the right container size is the single decision that affects everything else about a rental. Rentals run from a compact 10-yard up to a 40-yard, with a lowboy option for dense, heavy material like concrete and brick. Call us and we will help you match the container to the job before anything is scheduled.
| Container Size | Dimensions (L x W x H) | Approximate Capacity | Tonnage Included | Typical Uses |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Yard | 14' x 7.5' x 3.5' | 10 cubic yards, holds about 4 pickup truck loads worth | 1 to 2 tons included |
|
| 10-Yard Lowboy | 14' x 7.5' x 2' | 10 cubic yards, designed for heavy material where weight is the constraint rather than volume | 2 to 3 tons included |
|
| 12-Yard | 14' x 7.5' x 4' | 12 cubic yards, holds about 5 pickup truck loads worth | 1.5 to 2 tons included |
|
| 15-Yard | 16' x 7.5' x 4.5' | 15 cubic yards, holds about 6 pickup truck loads worth | 2 to 2.5 tons included |

|
| 40-Yard | 22' x 7.5' x 8' | 40 cubic yards, holds about 15 pickup truck loads worth | 4 to 5 tons included |

What does the quoted price include?
The price we confirm on the call covers container delivery, the agreed rental period, pickup, and a weight allowance. What can move the number is container size, how long you keep it, and how heavy the load runs. Heavier materials like concrete cost more to dispose of than light household debris, and that difference is reflected before anything is scheduled.
What is the fill line and why does it matter?
Every container has a fill line marked near the top of the side walls. Material loaded above that line cannot be transported safely or legally. If a load is piled over the fill line when we arrive for pickup, we will need to leave it until the load is leveled down. Keeping material at or below the line avoids a wasted trip and any additional handling.
Free No-Obligation Quotes
We provide free, no-obligation dumpster quotes by phone. The price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and we go over what the quote covers so there are no questions left open.
What happens if my load goes over the weight allowance?
Each rental includes a set weight allowance stated in the quote. If the load comes in heavier than that allowance, an overage charge applies based on the excess weight. We explain how the allowance works on the call so you know what to expect before the container is dropped.
How do I estimate the right size based on the type of debris I have?
Light, bulky material like furniture, insulation, and general household junk takes up volume quickly without adding much weight. Dense material like concrete, tile, and roofing shingles hits weight limits before the container looks full. For heavy debris, the lowboy is sized around weight capacity rather than volume. If you describe the job on the call, we will point you toward the right fit.
Can I place the dumpster on my driveway without damaging it?
Concrete and asphalt driveways can handle a container, but concentrated weight on one spot over several days can leave marks or cause surface cracking, especially on older driveways or in warm weather when asphalt softens. Placing planks under the container spreads the load and reduces the risk. It is worth discussing the placement surface before delivery so we can confirm the best approach for your property.
Placement Agreed Before the Drop
We confirm the placement spot with you before the container is delivered. Agreeing on the location ahead of time keeps the drop clean and avoids complications on the day.
What materials count as heavy debris that would need a lowboy?
Concrete, brick, block, stone, and large volumes of dirt or soil are the materials that most often call for a lowboy. These materials are dense enough that a standard roll-off container can hit its weight limit well before it looks anywhere near full. The lowboy is built with a lower side height specifically to handle that kind of load without going over the weight limit.
What items are prohibited from going into a roll-off container?
Mattresses, tires, paint cans, propane tanks, batteries, electronics, appliances containing refrigerants, and any liquid or hazardous waste cannot go in the container. Asphalt shingles are restricted in some cases. Macomb County household hazardous waste drop-off programs handle most of these materials. Separating prohibited items before the container arrives is far easier than pulling them out of a loaded container later.
How do flexible delivery windows work?
When you call, we confirm what delivery timing is available based on the current schedule. Short-notice and urgent requests are handled when the schedule allows. If your timing is tight, let us know on the call and we will work with what is open. The delivery window is confirmed before anything is finalized so you are not left waiting without a clear picture of when to expect the drop.
Honest Advice on the Right Size
We work from the job down to the container, not the other way around. Describe what you are clearing or demolishing and we will tell you which size makes sense before you commit.
What is the process for extending a rental?
If you need more time, contact us before the original rental window closes. Extensions carry an additional daily or weekly charge that is explained during the original quote. Calling ahead gives us time to adjust the schedule and confirm the updated rate before the original period runs out.
How does the swap-out process work on larger projects?
On projects that produce more debris than a single container can hold, we haul away the full container and drop a fresh one in its place. Each swap follows the same process as the original drop: placement is agreed on, the container is set, and you continue loading. Call us when the container is full or close to it and we will coordinate the exchange.
