Permits and disposal rules

A container parked on your own driveway or yard usually does not need a right-of-way permit, but some cities, townships and HOAs set their own rules, so check before delivery. Placing it in the street, on the berm or elsewhere in the public right-of-way needs a permit. In Detroit, the City's residential solid waste guidelines say roll-off containers must be placed on your property and that street or berm placement requires a DPW permit; dumpster permits are among the right-of-way permits handled by the DPW City Engineering Division. Elsewhere, ask your city or township and confirm who pulls the permit.

Reroofing may need a building permit, depending on the municipality and scope; your roofer should confirm with the local building department (BSEED in Detroit). If an older roof or siding material may contain asbestos, have it tested before tear-off.

How to compare quotes

1. Ask your roofer whether the dumpster is already in the quote.
2. Give the hauler the roof squares and number of layers.
3. Compare included weight and overage per ton.
4. Ask for placement close to the roof with pavement protection.
5. Plan for rain delays in the rental period.
