Frequently asked questions
We’ve compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions on Chicago dumpster rentals. These are specific to the Chicago area, so if you have any questions that are more general in nature, you might also find our full FAQ page helpful.
A permit is required to rent a dumpster in Chicago. Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) is continuing to issue permits during the ongoing health crisis. However, out of caution the CDOT Public-Way Permitting Office will be operating virtually until further notice. This means there will be no in person meetings and office phones will not be answered.
Chicago dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and other factors. Chicago dumpster costs range from $584 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $670 for a 40 yard dumpster. Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and 10 day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery costs average about $24.69 depending on distance, dumpster size, and current fuel prices.
