At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Edwardsville, Illinois, and the surrounding Madison County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Century-old houses around the Leclaire and St. Louis Street historic districts, student rentals near the university, and the construction boom along Governors' Parkway and the I-55 corridor all keep roll-off containers busy here.
Your price comes down to the container you pick, the material you load, how long it stays, and what the receiving landfill charges to take it. Below you'll find our price ranges, how the City handles containers in the street, the county permit your hauler needs, and what Illinois bans from the landfill.

Edwardsville has one real advantage on price: the landfill is inside the city, so the haul is short. The rest comes down to the usual variables.
Size sets the floor. Moving up a size is almost always cheaper than ordering a second container halfway through a tear-out.
Material decides the ceiling. Disposal is billed by weight, and plaster from an older Leclaire house, slate or tile roofing, and broken sidewalk concrete all add up quickly. Mention dense material when you book so we can size for the scale rather than the volume.
There is a county cost most people never see. Madison County permits every truck that collects waste in the county or unloads at a county landfill. The sticker runs $60 per truck a year, and a truck without a current one can be turned away at the gate. It is a small sum, but a refused truck is an expensive day.
Finally, placement. If the container has to sit on a City street, allow time for the paperwork before you set a delivery date.

Work out the volume first, then check the weight, then look at the driveway. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes from 10 to 40 yards, and the older in-town lots here often rule out the longest ones.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the one that fits a narrow historic-district drive. It suits a bathroom gut, a porch tear-off, or a load of broken concrete. Heavy material belongs in this size, because dense debris maxes out the weight before the walls are full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the middle option, right for a garage, a basement, or flooring pulled from a few rooms. More capacity, barely more footprint.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most Edwardsville homeowners book. It swallows a full house cleanout, a kitchen and bath remodel together, or a reroof on an average single-family home.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits additions, gut renovations, and new builds out on the newer subdivisions. Framing scrap, drywall, cabinets, and siding all go in one container.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. Contractors use it for commercial demolition, student housing turnovers, and warehouse projects that generate a lot of light, bulky debris.
Stuck between two? Walk your account manager through the job and they will pick the size that fits.
If the container stays on private property, like your own driveway or a fenced job site, the City has nothing to issue. Once it reaches the street or the parkway strip, that becomes a public right-of-way question.
Edwardsville publishes a Right-of-Way Excavation and Driveway Permit with the rest of its Public Works forms, and the Engineering Division reviews work in City streets. Call Public Works at 618-692-7535, Monday through Friday, and describe where you want the container. The office is at 200 East Park Street and they will tell you which form, if any, your placement needs.
There is a second approval that matters here, and it sits with the company rather than with you. Madison County requires a yearly permit for any truck collecting waste in the county or unloading at a county landfill. The sticker goes on the left side of the windshield, it runs through the end of June each year, and county staff check trucks at the landfill.
Because the City form is written around excavation work and the county permit rides with the truck, the cleanest path is to describe your exact drop spot to your account manager, who can line up the right contacts before a delivery date is set.
Everyday construction and cleanout debris is welcome. The limits come from Illinois law and from what the receiving landfill is permitted to accept.
Illinois banned seventeen kinds of electronics from landfills outright. The list covers televisions, monitors, printers, computers, laptops and tablets, keyboards, mice, scanners, fax machines, DVD players and recorders, video recorders, portable music players, game consoles, small servers, digital converter boxes, and cable and satellite receivers. One of them in a full container can hold up the whole load, so pull them out first.
Compact fluorescent bulbs contain a little mercury and should not go to a landfill either. Set them aside with the electronics.
Hazardous waste is the hard line. The landfill that serves this area is not permitted to accept it at all, so paint thinners, solvents, pesticides, fuel, and pool chemicals have to go to a household hazardous waste collection instead. Liquids, asbestos, and pressurized tanks stay out of a standard container too.
Leftover latex paint is the one common exception, since it can go out with regular trash once it has fully hardened in a ventilated spot. If you are unsure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes over the rail.
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.
Edwardsville is unusual: the landfill that takes most of the region's waste is inside the city. It sits on Cahokia Creek Road, a few minutes from downtown, and it is permitted by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency as a sanitary landfill. It is not permitted to take hazardous waste, which is why that one line matters so much when you load.
Scale matters too. Illinois EPA's latest capacity report counts four landfills with remaining capacity across the St. Louis Metropolitan East region, and the Cahokia Creek Road site took more than half the region's volume in 2024, with about sixteen years of life left at that pace.
Oversight is local. Illinois EPA has delegated inspection and enforcement to Madison County, whose certified inspectors monitor the open and closed landfills, the transfer stations, and the construction and demolition debris sites across the county. Your account manager can confirm where your container is headed and what the gate will charge before delivery.
Most Edwardsville rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking ahead gives you room to clear the drop spot and settle any street question, and it usually costs less.
Five things that keep delivery day simple:
Timing is also kinder here than in most places. With the landfill inside the city, the round trip is short, which makes same-week swaps and quick pickups easier to arrange than in towns that have to haul an hour each way.

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.
A 10-yard container in Edwardsville runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both on a five-day rental. The material you load and what the landfill charges by weight finish the number. Your account manager will confirm your included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Self-hauling looks cheap until you count it up. Every trip means a charge at the scale, fuel, and a truck you have to borrow or own. A container holds what would take you five or six pickup loads and sits in the driveway for the length of the job instead of forcing you to stop and drive.
Yes, comfortably. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. Furniture fills volume rather than adding weight, so you run out of room before you approach the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, fuel, solvents, pesticides, asbestos, and pressurized tanks. Illinois also bans seventeen kinds of electronics from landfills, including televisions, monitors, computers, and printers. Compact fluorescent bulbs contain mercury and need separate recycling rather than a place in your container.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. The rental price is not the whole bill, though. Fill a small container with concrete or wet plaster and the weight charge can erase the saving. Keeping dense material in its own load usually works out cheaper overall.
Three days generally costs what five days costs, since we price by the job rather than by the day. Weight moves the final bill far more than time does. Ask your account manager how much tonnage is included and what each extra ton runs before the container is delivered.
Nearly all ordinary job debris: lumber, drywall, plaster, lath, cabinets, flooring, shingles, siding, doors, fencing, furniture, and general cleanout junk. Clean concrete, brick, and block go in too and are cheapest in their own load. For anything borderline, your account manager can check it before you load.
