Not on your own driveway. For a Ferndale street or parking space, the City’s Permit Center takes a Dumpster/Storage Container Placement application: $50 plus $22.10 per parking space per day on the current fee schedule (City Hall 248-546-2525). Most jobs here avoid it with a 10 or 15-yard on the drive.

Dumpster Rental in Ferndale
Dumpsters for Ferndale bungalow renovations, garage clean-outs and downtown shop refits, placed carefully on small lots.
Ferndale’s 1920s–40s bungalows on compact lots are being renovated at a steady clip, and most of that work fits a 10 or 15-yard container on the driveway. Kitchen and bath remodels, basement finishes, garage tear-downs and the occasional full gut; we have placed containers on most streets between 8 Mile and 10 Mile.
It is about ten miles north of downtown Detroit up Woodward or I-75, so same-day delivery is realistic when you call before noon. Businesses along 9 Mile and Woodward get containers placed to keep sidewalks and parking clear, and the City has a specific application for that.

Do I need a permit in Ferndale?
On your own driveway, Ferndale publishes no permit requirement for a temporary roll-off; its zoning code (Sec. 5.19) puts a 21-day limit on residential moving pods and requires them on a paved area off the right-of-way, but does not mention dumpsters. For the street or a parking space, the City’s Permit Center takes a Dumpster/Storage Container Placement application: the fee schedule for the year from July 2026 lists a $50 application fee plus a parking space use fee of $22.10 per space per day ($20.80 the year before). We could not find a code section or a maximum duration published for it, so we confirm the conditions with City Hall (300 East Nine Mile Road, 248-546-2525) when we file. Most Ferndale jobs avoid the street with a 10 or 15-yard on the drive.
