How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Dumpster in Chicago, IL?

Dumpster Rental Cost Factors

• 

  Dumpster Size

  It stands to reason that if you have a larger dumpster than is necessary, you are essentially paying more money than you need to, and if the one you choose isn’t big enough, you will incur other charges from having the dumpster emptied and returned.

• 

  Weight  Limits

  If you plan on disposing of heavy materials like concrete and brick, you should be aware that renting a dumpster comes with a weight limit. Exceeding it may result in extra costs, which can quickly add up. The average overage fee for each additional ton ranges from $60 to $100, depending on individual dumpster rental companies.

• 

  Dumpster
  Rental Period

  Planning and having everything ready from the start saves money when hiring a dumpster. Creating a thorough cleaning strategy before the dumpster arrives makes waste removal inexpensive, easy, and fast. Have the dumpster only when you need to minimize your dumpster rental price.

• 

  Permits

  If you place a dumpster on city property in Chicago, you must obtain a permit. This includes streets, alleyways, and sidewalks. However, you do not need a permit if the dumpster is on private property, such as a driveway or construction area.

• 

  Debris Type

  You can benefit from lower rental rates if you opt for a "clean load" dumpster filled with only one type of recyclable construction material, such as shingles or concrete. This is because recycling these materials is more cost-effective than disposing them in landfills. On the other hand, mixed general waste, yard waste, construction debris, home demolition waste, and old appliances will incur a higher cost.

• 

  Location

  Your location impacts the cost of renting a dumpster in two different ways. Firstly, if you are in an area far from the provider, you will be paying more because the company will need to cover the transportation costs to get the dumpster to and from your location. Secondly, some areas may require permits to drop the dumpster; you can either pay for the permit yourself or have the dumpster rental company take care of it. If it is the latter, the dumpster rental costs will include the permit cost.
