Chelsea dumpster rental questions
How fast can you deliver a dumpster in Chelsea?
Chelsea is about 48 miles out from our Dearborn yard, so we usually schedule it a day or two ahead to lock in a window. Call early and we will find the soonest slot that works for your address off I-94 and M-52 (Main St).
Do you charge extra to deliver in Chelsea?
Our flat rates are the base. Because Chelsea is about 48 miles from the Dearborn yard, an address out here can add a small delivery fee for the longer drive. It is quoted upfront when you enter your address, never added after. Size, days and weight bill the same as everywhere.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Chelsea?
Driveway placement needs no permit. A dumpster in the street or public right-of-way usually needs a permit from the City of Chelsea, so confirm before curb placement.
Where will the dumpster sit at my Chelsea property?
On your driveway in most cases. The driver sets boards under the rails first so the concrete or asphalt is protected, then places it where you mark. We deliver across Chelsea, from Downtown Chelsea Historic District. If the lot is tight and it has to go in the street, that is where a city permit can come in.
What size dumpster do most Chelsea projects need?
It depends on the job. A 15 yard handles a garage or single-room cleanout, the 20 yard is our most-booked size for whole-home cleanouts and roof tear-offs, and the 30 yard is for construction and big remodels. Chelsea is small-town with a historic downtown and a fair amount of rural and farm property on the edges. Call and we will size it in a minute.
