20 Yard Dumpster in Metro Detroit: what to expect
A 20 yard dumpster is the most requested size for home projects in Metro Detroit. It holds roughly the equivalent of six pickup truck loads and fits on most standard driveways, though narrow lots, shared drives and low wires can make placement tight. Exact dimensions vary by hauler.
It suits a kitchen or basement remodel, flooring or drywall tear-out across several rooms, a full garage or attic cleanout, and many single-layer roof tear-offs on an average house. For heavy debris like concrete and dirt, most haulers limit how much can go in, so plan a separate 10 yard for those. For a whole-house cleanout or large renovation, compare against a 30 yard dumpster.

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.
Restricted items stay out: Michigan EGLE restricts used oil, lead-acid batteries, scrap tires, bulk liquids and yard clippings from landfills, household hazardous waste goes to a collection site, and refrigerant appliances need recovery under EPA Section 608 rules first.
