At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Elmwood Park, Illinois, and the near west suburbs of Cook County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Elmwood Park is a dense, fully built village of brick bungalows and two-flats on small lots, so the construction work here is renovation and replacement rather than new ground: basement finishing, garage rebuilds off the alleys, roof tear-offs, and kitchen and bath remodels in houses that are mostly eighty years old or more.
What a container costs you depends on four things: the size, the weight of the debris, the rental length, and the tipping charge at the facility that receives the load. Below you will find our ranges, the Village's own container permit rule, what has to stay out of the load, and where the debris ends up.

Where the container can physically stand is the first question in Elmwood Park, and it affects the price through the size. Lots here are narrow, many homes have no front driveway, and a lot of access runs through the alley. The container that fits the alley is sometimes a size down from the container that fits the debris.
Weight is the second factor. Village housing stock means brick, plaster and old concrete, all of which are heavy for their volume and will use up an included tonnage while the container still looks workable.
Haul distance is the third. Cook County has exactly one active municipal solid waste landfill left, far to the south of here, so most loads move through a transfer facility first and that travel sits inside the disposal charge.
Village rules are the fourth, and Elmwood Park is unusually specific about containers on public ground. That rule is set out in the permit part below, and it has a short clock on it.

Start with the access, then the weight, then the volume. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes across the near west suburbs.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the container for brick, plaster, old patio concrete and small bathroom work, and it is also the easiest one to place on a narrow Elmwood Park lot or in an alley.
The 15-Yard Dumpster takes a garage emptied in a weekend, a kitchen stripped out, or one slope of a roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster covers a whole-house cleanout or a remodel across several rooms, and it still fits most driveways and alley aprons here.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a garage rebuild, a dormer addition or anything producing a steady volume of framing and drywall.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, aimed at commercial work along Grand Avenue and North Avenue where there is room to land it.
Tell your account manager whether the drop is on the street, the driveway or the alley. In this village that answer changes everything else.
On private property such as your own driveway or a fenced site, Elmwood Park asks nothing of you for a container.
On public property the Village publishes a container rule by name, which is rarer than you might think. The code requires a permit from the building commissioner before any dumpster or container used to hold refuse is placed on public property. Those permits are issued for no more than seven consecutive days at a time, although they may be renewed on application to the building commissioner. The container also has to carry reflective material or warning devices on every side that sits within the public way.
Two things follow from that. The seven-day clock is short for a renovation, so a longer job needs the renewal planned in rather than remembered late. And the duty to hold the permit sits on the licensed container company, not on the homeowner, which means the paperwork is ours to manage.
The Village layers its general obstruction rule on top. Anyone allowed to place an obstruction in a street, alley, avenue or sidewalk must keep a red light or lantern visible from each direction from sunset to sunrise and put railings or barricades around it where needed to protect the public.
The Code Administration and Building Department answers on 708-452-3920 and Village Hall on 708-452-7300. Your account manager will tell you which of those calls your project actually needs, and will handle the permit side with the building commissioner.
Ordinary construction and cleanout debris is fine: framing, drywall, plaster, brick, roofing, flooring, cabinets, doors, carpet, furniture and household junk.
Hazardous material is not. Paint, solvents, thinners, fuels, motor oil, pesticides and pool chemicals all stay out, as do asbestos, free liquids and pressurized cylinders. Village houses from the plaster and lath era are prime candidates for asbestos in old floor tile and pipe lagging, so test before demolition rather than during it.
Electronics have a separate route here. The Village states plainly on its solid waste program page that residents may no longer throw televisions, video recorders and game consoles into their regular garbage, and it runs a free drop-off for them instead.
Burning is not an alternative. The Village code makes it unlawful for anyone owning or controlling a lot in the Village to burn garbage or similar matter on it.
Tires, appliances and anything holding refrigerant need to be mentioned at booking so they can be handled separately. Where an item is borderline, your account manager will settle it in one call.
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.
The Village's own household collection and your project debris take different routes. Village collection covers homes of five units or fewer. Buildings of six units or more and every business establishment must arrange their own removal at least weekly, which is where a container comes in.
The Village does run one public drop-off, and it is genuinely useful for part of a cleanout. The Elmwood Park Public Works Facility at 7330 W Fullerton takes residents' electronics free of charge. It is a resident drop-off point rather than a tipping floor, so it cannot take a contractor load, but it is the right place for the television that comes out of a basement.
Everything else leaves the Village. Cook County has one active municipal solid waste landfill on the state's own records, the River Bend Prairie Landfill at 801 East 138th Street in Dolton, well to the south, and the state's landfill locations records confirm that it is the only one in the county. In practice most near west suburban loads pass through a private transfer facility before they get there, and every one of those facilities is company run rather than public.
One Village rule is worth knowing before a long job: a licensed collector may not dispose of or store refuse anywhere inside the Village or within a mile of it without the Village board's permission. Your account manager confirms both the destination and the staging arrangement before delivery, which keeps that rule off your plate.
7330 W Fullerton, Elmwood Park, IL 60707
The Village's free electronics drop-off for residents. It is a drop-off point only and cannot take a contractor load; the Village publishes no hours for it.
Most Elmwood Park rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A little notice helps here because collection hours are regulated and because street placements need the building commissioner.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
Village rules keep collection from six-unit buildings and businesses to weekdays between 6:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., so a Sunday finish means a Monday haul.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves all of Elmwood Park, from the blocks either side of Grand Avenue and North Avenue to the quieter streets near the Westwood and Elm Middle School neighborhoods, along with the near west suburbs next door. Wherever the project sits, we coordinate the drop, the permit and the pickup around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will work out where the container can stand, handle the Village paperwork if it is needed, and quote the job 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.
Elmwood Park rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day rental. Brick and plaster weight and the long haul out of the county both affect the final figure. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate.
Yes, for anything beyond a trunk load. There is no nearby public disposal site, so self-hauling means a long drive each way plus a gate charge every trip. One container clears the job in a single haul with no mileage on your own vehicle.
It will. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a mattress, shelving and boxes. Furniture fills space rather than weight, so with a soft load you reach the walls long before the tonnage limit.
Paint, solvents, thinners, fuels, motor oil, pesticides, pool chemicals, asbestos, liquids and pressurized cylinders all have to stay out. Televisions, recorders and game consoles are out as well and go to the Village drop-off. Tires and appliances need separate arrangements.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499, and on a narrow village lot it is often the only size that fits. For brick, plaster and old concrete it is usually the cheapest result too, because dense material reaches the weight limit in any container.
Three days normally costs the same as five, since the price follows the delivery, the haul and the tipping rather than the number of days. Weight is the real variable. Ask your account manager how much tonnage is included and what each extra ton adds.
Framing, drywall, plaster, brick, roofing, flooring, cabinets, doors, carpet, furniture and general cleanout junk are all acceptable. Clean concrete, brick and asphalt are fine too and are cheaper when kept in their own load. For anything outside that, ask your account manager.
