Dumpster Rental in Sterling Heights, MI

Sterling Heights publishes no dumpster permit, for a driveway or the street: its code has no roll-off or temporary container provision, and the Engineering Department’s right-of-way permit (40555 Utica Road, (586) 446-2720) is written for contractors doing work in the right-of-way such as trenching, not for containers. The general rule in Sec. 48-4 is that no improvement or obstruction goes in the right-of-way without a City permit, and the zoning ordinance’s trash-receptacle rules (Sec. 24.05: screened, on a concrete pad, 40 feet from residential) are for permanent bins and say nothing about construction dumpsters. Almost every driveway here is long enough to avoid the question; if yours is not, we say so and ask Engineering rather than guess. Refuse is collected by Priority Waste ((586) 228-1200) and the City asks that nothing be set in the street; demolition permits from the Building Department ((586) 446-2360) need utility cut-and-cap letters and a bond.
