At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Woodstock, Illinois, and the surrounding McHenry County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. The Victorian housing around the Square needs constant repair work, newer subdivisions on the south and east sides are reaching the age where roofs and siding come off, and construction along Route 47 keeps contractors busy.
Your price comes down to the container size, the weight and type of debris, how long you keep it, and the haul to a landfill, because McHenry County does not have one. Below you'll find price ranges, the City's dumpster permit for the street, and what Illinois keeps out of a landfill load.

Here is what moves the number on a Woodstock job.
Size first. The container that is one size too small costs more than the one that is one size too big, because overage charges and a second haul add up faster than the difference in rental price.
Weight second. Plaster and lath from an older home near the Square, slate or asphalt roofing, brick and concrete all run heavy. Disposal is sold by the ton, so a dense load can cost more than a bulky one.
Distance third, and it matters here. McHenry County has no active landfill, so every load travels into Lake, DeKalb, Winnebago or Ogle County. That drive is built into the price no matter who you book with.
Placement fourth. Woodstock expects the container on your own property. If your driveway is too short or too steep, the City has a specific permit for putting one in the street, which is covered next.

Choose by weight before volume. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right pick for concrete, brick, dirt and plaster, and for small jobs like one bathroom. It also fits on the shorter driveways common in the older parts of town.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, a flooring tear-out, or a small roof. It gives you noticeably more room without needing much more space at the curb.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the usual choice for a kitchen and bath remodel, a full house cleanout, or a re-roof on an average Woodstock home.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles a gut renovation, an addition, a new build, or a commercial project running over several weeks.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, meant for demolition and commercial work that produces a lot of volume in light material.
If you are weighing two sizes against each other, describe the job to your account manager. Getting the size right is the easiest money you will save on the whole rental.
On private property, a driveway or a job site you control, Woodstock does not require a permit for the container. The City's own guidance is direct about this: a container for home improvements and general disposal should be placed on private property.
The City also recognizes that is not always possible. Where the driveway is too small or too steeply graded, or site conditions get in the way, a property owner may ask the City for approval to place a container in the street or the public right-of-way for a short period. Woodstock publishes a Temporary Permit for Dumpster in Right-of-Way for exactly that, and the Public Works page explains when it applies.
Apply at least 48 hours before the delivery date. The online form asks for the container location and size, the delivery and removal dates, how often the container will be emptied, whether it will block any part of a sidewalk, and whether it will take up designated parking spaces and how many. It also asks for the disposal site and the company handling it, so have those details ready. We can supply them.
Any other work inside the right-of-way needs the City's general right-of-way permit, and the City inspects the location before work starts and again when it is finished. The right-of-way here usually runs back to the far side of the sidewalk and takes in the parkway, the curb and the pavement, which is wider than most people assume.
Public Works handles all of this at 326 Washington Street and takes calls at 815-338-6118, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For building permits, Development Services is at 815-338-4305. If you are not sure whether your drop spot counts as right-of-way, your account manager can get you to the right person at the City.
Before you book, confirm with the city that a container can be placed for your job at your address. Rules differ from city to city and they change. Your Prime Dumpster account manager will help you check, and will tell you plainly what your options are here.
Illinois sets most of the list, and Woodstock's own code adds a useful warning.
The state environmental agency publishes the banned materials. Landscape waste has been out of landfills since 1990, used tires since 1994, and large appliances since 1994 unless the mercury switches, refrigerant and PCB components come out first. Lead acid vehicle batteries went out in 1990 and motor oil in 1996. Electronics are governed separately: under the state recycling act it is illegal to throw a television, computer, monitor, printer, DVD player or game console in the trash in Illinois.
City code is blunt about the fuels and liquids. Its own definition of hazardous waste expressly takes in motor oil, gasoline, tires, paint and paint cans, on top of anything the federal or state agencies classify that way. Solvents, pool chemicals, asbestos and liquids of any kind stay out too.
Appliances get their own treatment. Woodstock defines white goods to cover stoves, refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, air conditioners, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, water heaters, furnaces and trash compactors, and they are handled separately rather than mixed into a load.
One thing worth remembering: Illinois holds whoever produced the waste responsible if it ends up dumped illegally, even when a company was paid to remove it. Ask your account manager before you put anything questionable in the container.
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.
McHenry County has no active landfill inside it, so every container load from Woodstock leaves the county. According to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, the nearest active site is the Countryside Landfill at 31725 N Route 83 in Grayslake, about 25 road miles east. The next closest sites are near Rockford, Zion and DeKalb, all between 40 and 42 road miles out.
That is also why the City's dumpster permit form asks where the load is going and who is taking it. Woodstock wants the destination on the record before a container sits in its right-of-way.
The distance is the reason sorting pays here. Clean broken concrete, brick, rock and reclaimed asphalt with no rebar protruding counts as clean construction debris under Illinois rules and can go to a fill operation instead of a landfill, which usually costs less than burying it. Keeping that material in a container of its own is often the single biggest saving on a demolition job.
Your account manager will confirm which site your load is headed to and what that means for the price, and will give you the disposal details you need for the permit form.
Most Woodstock 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 in the street, build in the City's 48 hour application window before your delivery date.
Five things that make the drop go smoothly:
One timing note. Public Works runs from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on weekdays and shifts to 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in summer, so get permit questions in during those hours rather than late in the day.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery throughout Woodstock, from the historic streets around the Square and the older blocks along Dean and Calhoun out to the newer subdivisions off Lake Avenue, Route 47 and Country Club Road. We also serve the industrial park on the north side and the surrounding Dorr and Greenwood Township addresses.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, tell you whether you need the City's street permit, and give you the disposal details the form asks for.
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.
Woodstock 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. Debris weight and the haul out of McHenry County both move the total. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage and the overage rate before your container is delivered.
Almost always. The nearest active landfill is about 25 miles from Woodstock, so hauling it yourself means long round trips and a charge at the scale each visit. One container takes the whole job in a single haul, and you do not spend a weekend driving.
Yes, easily. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser and a stack of boxes. Furniture is light for its bulk, so you run out of room long before you reach the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint and paint cans, solvents, fuel, motor oil and asbestos. Illinois separately bans landscape waste, tires, lead acid batteries and untreated appliances from landfills, and electronics cannot go in the trash at all. Mention appliances when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. Weight decides whether it stays the cheapest option. Plaster, brick and concrete from an older Woodstock home fill the weight allowance fast, so splitting dense rubble into its own load usually beats one overloaded container.
Three days normally costs the same as five, since the price is built around the haul and the tonnage rather than the calendar. On a street placement, a shorter stay is still worth planning, because the permit covers set delivery and removal dates. Your account manager can line those up.
Nearly all construction and household debris: lumber, drywall, plaster and lath, shingles, flooring, cabinets, doors, windows, siding, furniture, carpet and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick and asphalt are accepted too and often cost less in a load of their own. Run unusual items past your account manager first.
