Mon - Sat 7:00 am to 7:00 pm
At Prime Dumpster, we arrange delivery of roll-off containers from 10 to 40 yards across Streamwood, Illinois and the northwest Cook County suburbs around it. Streamwood is almost entirely post-war and seventies subdivision housing on flat ground, which makes it one of the easier places in the Chicago area to drop a container, and one of the busiest for renovation and small construction work: roof tear-offs, basement finishing, kitchen and bathroom gut jobs, and siding and window replacement street by street.
The thing worth understanding about working here is that the regulation sits at county level rather than with the village, and Cook County regulates waste more actively than most counties in the country. It runs its own environmental permitting, its own inspections and its own reporting regime, and it puts real duties on haulers. That is worth knowing because it means your provider's county standing is a fair question to ask.

Weight is the first thing that moves a Streamwood quote. Concrete, brick, block, mortar and roof tile reach a container's weight allowance while the container still looks half empty, so a driveway or patio tear-out usually wants a smaller container than people expect. Framing, drywall, decking and old cabinets do the reverse, filling the space while the scale barely moves.
Sorting is second. Clean construction and demolition debris is handled differently from mixed household waste throughout the Chicago area, and a seventies house being gutted produces both at once. Keeping them apart is normally the largest single saving available on the job.
Haul distance is third, and in Cook County it matters more than it looks on a map. There is no active landfill in Cook County within easy reach, and the county operates no disposal site of its own, so material travels out of the county to a privately run landfill or transfer station. That trip is part of the quote rather than something that appears later.
The number of days moves the figure least. One job price covers the container, so the day count rarely changes the total. Extra days appear on the closing invoice, so agree the collection date at the start.

Choose by weight rather than by how large the job looks.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the heavy-material option. Concrete, brick, block, stone and tile top out on weight long before the container is full, which is why a patio or driveway removal belongs in one. It also sits in one bay of a Streamwood driveway without taking the whole apron.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage clear-down, a bathroom or kitchen strip-out, or a modest roof job.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Streamwood homes end up with. Whole-house cleanouts, flooring removal and multi-room renovations all fit, and the walls are low enough to load by hand without a ramp.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is the choice for new construction, large additions and real demolition. Once framing, drywall and roof decking are in the mix, volume climbs much faster than weight.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the commercial size, for business park fit-outs, large demolition and substantial construction. It wants a straight approach, a level drop point and nothing above it.
Unsure which fits? Tell your account manager what the debris is and let the material pick.
Private property placement, in a driveway or on a fenced lot, involves no permit. That is the normal placement in Streamwood and the one we recommend.
For village rules we are going to be straight with you rather than confident. The Village of Streamwood's website refused every request we made, on both of its addresses, and it publishes no site map or index we could work from either. Streamwood does not publish its code through any of the legal publishers this industry uses, and we checked all of them rather than assuming. So we make no claim about whether Streamwood requires a street permit for a container, what it costs, or how long it runs. If part of your container has to sit in a village street or sidewalk, the right first call is Streamwood's public works or community development counter, and your account manager will make it with you.
Cook County is a different story, because the county publishes its position fully and we read it.
Cook County's Department of Environment and Sustainability runs a real permitting and reporting system for waste in suburban Cook, and the part that reaches a container company is a reporting duty rather than a license. Haulers, non-residential haulers and transfer stations each owe the county quarterly reports, on four fixed dates: the first quarter by 30 April, the second by 31 July, the third by 31 October and the fourth by 31 January. Everything goes through the county's electronic permit portal, and the county no longer accepts physical checks at all. A check mailed to the department is returned to sender.
So the question to ask any provider working in suburban Cook County is whether they are current on their county reporting. It is a fair question and it has a definite answer. Your account manager will go through our position with you on the call.
One county permit may land on you rather than on us. If your plan is to crush masonry on site rather than haul it away, Cook County requires a temporary reprocessing permit, which it calls a Temporary Rock Crusher Permit, covering the reprocessing, storage, transport and final use of material generated from construction or demolition. The machine needs a separate equipment registration, and if it stays in suburban Cook County beyond a year it needs an annual certificate of operation too. Fees are not refundable and a new application is required if the equipment moves to a location the current permit does not name. On most jobs a container is cheaper and simpler.
Two more county permits sit upstream of a container on a demolition job: Cook County runs its own demolition permitting and its own asbestos abatement permitting, along with a separate registration for asbestos abatement contractors. On an older property those come first and the container comes second.
Everyday construction, demolition and household debris is acceptable. The exclusions are the standard set, and we will name only the ones we can stand behind.
Liquids are out everywhere. Paint, gasoline, oil, thinners, solvents, sealants and anything free-flowing stay out of the container. Dried paint tins are usually fine but confirm it first.
Asbestos is prohibited outright and in Cook County it is actively regulated, with both a county permit for the abatement work and a county registration for the contractor doing it. On a Streamwood house built in the fifties, sixties or seventies, pipe lagging, floor tile, textured coatings and some siding are all candidates. A survey before demolition is money well spent.
Whole tires, lead-acid batteries and pressurized cylinders each go separately. So do refrigerated appliances, which need their refrigerant removed by a certified professional first, covering refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers and air conditioners.
Liquid hazardous waste is a named county reporting category in its own right, which gives you a sense of how seriously it is treated here. Medical waste, sharps and anything classed as hazardous are all excluded.
Electronics and televisions have their own recycling routes in Illinois and should not travel in a construction load.
Anything you are unsure about is one call to your account manager before loading.
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.
We are going to be plain about this rather than vague.
Cook County operates no landfill and no transfer station. Its role in waste is permitting, inspection, reporting and diversion. There is also no active landfill inside Cook County within practical reach of Streamwood, and the Illinois environmental agency publishes facility information without naming operators in a form we can verify.
So a Streamwood container load leaves the county, going to a privately operated landfill or transfer station, generally west or south of here. We do not name privately run facilities and will not publish an address we cannot confirm from a public authority. Your account manager will tell you the exact destination before you book and confirm it is permitted for the material.
Two things follow, and both affect your cost. Haul distance is a genuine component of a Chicago-area quote rather than a rounding error, so the exact address matters. And sorting pays more here than where there is a public county gate, because every ton is priced commercially at the receiving end.
There is one useful public service worth knowing about. Cook County's Solid Waste Division provides technical assistance to municipalities on waste and recycling, including reviewing solid waste contracts and supporting contract negotiations. If you are on a village board or a homeowners association committee looking at a waste contract, that is free expertise from the county, available on (312) 603-8200, option 2.
Most Streamwood deliveries can be scheduled within one to two business days. Flat ground and wide subdivision driveways make this an easy place to place a container, so the constraint is usually the haul rather than the site.
Here is what makes a booking move quickly:
A Chicago-area note: keep a part-filled container covered from October onward. Rain and wet snow add real billable weight to drywall, carpet and insulation, and a frozen load does not tip cleanly.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves Streamwood itself and the northwest Cook and east Kane County communities around it, including Hanover Park, Bartlett, Carol Stream, South Barrington and the Elgin line to the west. Because county reporting and county permitting attach to suburban Cook, which side of the county line your job sits on is worth establishing at the start.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, confirm where the load is going, and price it 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.
Work on $399 to $499 for a 10-yard and $699 to $899 for a 40-yard over the standard five days. Disposal is charged by weight on top, at commercial rates, and because the load leaves Cook County the haul distance matters. Your account manager settles tonnage and overage rates ahead of delivery.
More than a single truck load and the container is the cheaper route. There is no public county drop-off in Cook County and no active landfill within easy reach, so self-hauling means a trip out of the county to a commercial facility. One container with a booked collection replaces all of it.
Yes, with room to spare. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, with room left over for a bed frame and boxes. Furniture runs out of space well before it runs out of weight, so 10 yards usually covers a clearance.
Liquids, paint, gasoline, oil, thinners, solvents, asbestos, whole tires, lead-acid batteries, pressurized cylinders, medical waste and sharps all stay out. Appliances with a cooling circuit need the refrigerant removed by a certified professional first. Electronics have their own Illinois recycling route.
The 10-yard is the lowest opener, at $399 to $499. The cheapest overall result normally comes from sorting rather than sizing down, because clean construction material has disposal routes and rates that the same debris does not once household waste is mixed in.
Three days and five days normally reach the same figure, because the container is priced against the job rather than the calendar. Weight and sorting are what shift the bill. Have your account manager fix the tonnage allowance and the overage rate ahead of delivery.
Lumber, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, furniture, brick, block and clean concrete are all acceptable in a construction container, and Cook County treats clean construction debris as its own category. Your account manager will clear anything borderline up front.
