Dumpster Rental in Royal Oak, MI

On your own driveway, Royal Oak publishes no permit requirement for a temporary roll-off. In the street the City has a written policy for dumpsters and roll-off containers on public property, run by the Engineering Division at 203 South Troy Street, 248-246-3260: a City right-of-way permit ($130 on the fee schedule from July 2026), a cash bond of at least $2,000, general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000, inspection fees at $106 an hour with a two-hour minimum, and a location plan. The container has to sit on a paved roadway signed for legal parking, never on a sidewalk or landscaped area, with lighted Type II barricades, planking under the wheels, and a tarp when nobody is filling it; metered spaces are paid in advance at the Treasurer at $25 per meter per day, and the penalty fee for a violation is $285. The permit runs to the date on it or the insurance expiry, whichever comes first; no maximum day count is published. We handle the application through the City’s online portal when you book.
