At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Algonquin, Illinois, and the surrounding McHenry and Kane County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Algonquin's big wave of subdivision building in the 1990s and 2000s has now reached the age where roofs, decks, siding, and kitchens all come due at once, and commercial construction along Randall Road adds steady contractor demand.
Your cost is set by the size of the container, how heavy the load is, how long you keep it, and the disposal charge at the landfill or transfer station that receives it. The sections below cover our ranges, how placement works on a Village street, the rules Algonquin sets, and where the material actually goes.

Container size sets the base. Algonquin's newer subdivisions generally have the driveway length for a 20-yard or 30-yard container, which is worth knowing because moving up a size costs less than paying for a second haul.
Weight is the next factor and it is the one that surprises people. A single-layer asphalt roof tear-off on a two-car-garage house can use most of a 15-yard container's weight allowance on its own. Concrete from a patio or driveway removal is heavier still.
Haul distance matters more here than in most places, and it is the local fact worth knowing. Illinois EPA's own records show no active landfill in McHenry County and none in Kane County, so a load from Algonquin travels to Lake County, Ogle County, or further. That extra road time is built into local pricing.
Who may collect the material is the fourth factor, and Algonquin is unusual. Household debris from a dwelling unit, including household construction and demolition debris, is written into the Village's own collection contract with its contractor, while commercial and industrial collection runs under a separate Village license with no cap on the number issued. Your account manager confirms how that applies to your address and project before anything is booked.

Match the size to the volume first, then check the driveway. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards for Algonquin jobs.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest and the one to use for dense material. Broken concrete from a patio, brick from a chimney, or soil from a regrade will reach the weight limit well before the container fills.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, a bathroom gut, or a small roof. It is a frequent Algonquin choice because it takes a single-layer tear-off on a typical subdivision home.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the standard pick for a whole-home cleanout, a basement finish, or a remodel across several rooms. It fits most Algonquin driveways comfortably.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, gut renovations, and new residential construction. Framing, siding, cabinets, and drywall take up volume rather than weight, so this is the size that keeps a big job to one container.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and is built for commercial demolition and industrial cleanouts. It needs a long, level spot with a clear overhead path for the truck.
If two sizes look possible, describe the job and the driveway to your account manager and they will make the call.
On private property, such as your own driveway or a job site you control, Algonquin does not require a Village permit for the container itself. That covers the great majority of deliveries here, and most lots have the room.
A public street, alley, sidewalk, or parkway is a different matter, and the Village code points in two directions at once. One section says no person may erect or maintain any structure or thing on, over, or under a street, alley, sidewalk, or public way except by permit from the Village Board, which may grant or refuse it and attach conditions. Another section says no material or thing may be placed or kept in a street without a written permit from the Superintendent of Streets and Maintenance. The code does not say which of those applies to a container, and the Village publishes no container placement fee at all.
That makes a street drop in Algonquin something to settle before you plan around it, not after. Village Board approval runs on a meeting cycle, so if that is the route your spot needs, the lead time is weeks rather than days.
There is also a separate loading rule worth knowing: goods may sit on a sidewalk only while they are being loaded or unloaded, and for no more than an hour.
Call the Algonquin Public Works Department at 847-658-2700, at 110 Mitchard Way, and ask which permission your spot needs. Your account manager will handle that call for you and keep the delivery date realistic.
Most construction and household debris is fine. The limits come from Illinois disposal law and from what the receiving landfill will accept.
Illinois bans several things from landfills outright. Illinois EPA states that state law prohibits landfilling many common electronic items, including televisions and computers, and that state law bans the landfilling of used or waste tires, which must go to a permitted tire disposal or recycling facility instead. Lead-acid batteries, used oil, and liquid waste are kept out as well, and landscape waste has its own separate route.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos never go in a standard container. Asbestos in older Algonquin properties needs a licensed abatement route before demolition starts.
Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted, and they are usually cheaper to handle when kept in a single-material load rather than mixed with wood and drywall.
One local rule applies to you rather than to us: the Village code bars anyone from putting waste into a container they did not rent. On a street or a shared drive, that is worth a sign if the container will sit over a weekend.
When in doubt about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Algonquin straddles the McHenry and Kane County line, and that matters for disposal: Illinois EPA's active landfill records list 38 operating sites across the state and not one of them is in either county.
The nearest active landfills are in Grayslake in Lake County, at Davis Junction in Ogle County, and in Rockford in Winnebago County, with another at Zion up near the Wisconsin line. Each of those is privately operated by a company that also rents containers, so we name them by town rather than card them.
The practical effect is a longer haul than you would get in a county with its own landfill, and that road time is reflected in what disposal costs here. It also means a clean, well-sorted load is worth more than usual, because material that can be recovered closer to home never makes the full trip.
The Village's own code bars disposing of or storing refuse within Algonquin outside its own system, so a loaded container leaves the Village rather than being staged locally.
Your account manager confirms which facility is taking your load, and what it charges for your material, before the delivery is scheduled.
Most Algonquin rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If the container is going on a Village street rather than a driveway, add time for the Village approval instead.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
Landfill hours shape the back end too. The sites that take Algonquin loads run weekday schedules with limited Saturday access, so a container filled late on a Friday is usually hauled the following week.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, confirm how the Village rules apply to your address, and quote a clear price on the call.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
Algonquin rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, on a five-day rental. The haul to the nearest landfill is longer here than in most places, and the material you load matters most of all. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
A container almost always wins in Algonquin, because there is no landfill in McHenry or Kane County to drive to. Self-hauling means a long round trip to Lake, Ogle, or Winnebago County and a gate charge each time. One container covers the job in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a bed frame, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so on a cleanout you normally run out of room before you reach the weight limit.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos are out. Illinois also bans televisions, computers, and whole tires from landfills, so those need a separate route. Lead-acid batteries and landscape waste are kept out as well. Tell your account manager about anything unusual first.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. The cheapest rental is not always the cheapest job, though. Concrete, brick, or wet soil will pass a small container's weight limit quickly, so keeping dense material in its own load is usually the better buy.
A three-day rental normally costs the same as a five-day one, because containers are priced by the job rather than the day. Weight affects your bill far more than the length of the rental. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs.
Most home and construction debris is allowed, including drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, framing, cabinets, carpet, furniture, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt go in too, and single-material loads often cost less to dispose of. Run anything doubtful past your account manager first.
