Contractor Dumpster Rental, Chicagoland
Roll-off containers for roofers, remodelers, concrete crews and property managers across the southwest suburbs. One number, our own trucks, and a company that takes concrete when the others will not.
Our own trucks, out of our own yard in Lemont, since 1998. The person who answers the phone is the person who sends the driver.
Why contractors switch to a local hauler
A full box on Tuesday with drywall going up Wednesday costs you a day of labor across the whole crew. Delivery on the day you booked it is the thing worth judging a dumpster company on, and it is the reason most contractors end up switching.
WasteBox works out of one yard in Lemont with our own trucks inside a roughly 20 mile radius. Call 630-850-0770 and you reach the people who dispatch those trucks. There is no broker in the middle taking your job to auction, which is what happens when you order from a national site and a stranger shows up late.
Who We Serve
Roofing
Tear-off is heavy and it comes off fast. A 12 or 16 yard sits on the driveway beside the dump trailer, and shingles do not need the big box, they need the right weight limit. Roofing dumpster rental.
Remodel and GC
Mixed debris across a few weeks. Drywall, flooring, cabinets, trim and packaging all go in the same container, so size for the peak week rather than the average. Sellers and agents clearing a house: listing prep dumpsters.
Concrete, demo and excavation
This is where most rental companies say no. Concrete, brick and dirt go in our 6 yard. It is the only size rated for that weight, and we will actually take the load. Concrete and demo dumpster rental.
Landscape and hardscape
Sod, soil, old pavers and broken slab. Soil and hardscape spoil ride in the 6 yard, green waste and timber in the larger sizes. Landscaping dumpster rental.
Property management and turns
Apartment turns and evictions produce furniture volume, not weight. A single unit is usually the 12 or 16 yard, a whole house or several units the 20 or 30. Landlord and property manager dumpsters.
Restoration and cleanout
Water and fire jobs move on the insurer's clock. Tell us the deadline when you call. Restoration dumpster rental. Estate and probate cleanouts: estate cleanout dumpsters.
The concrete rule, because it decides who you can call
Most rental companies will not take clean concrete, brick or dirt at any size. We will, in the 6 yard container, and only in the 6 yard. It measures 12' x 5' x 3', it fits a single driveway lane, and it is rated to be filled level full.
Heavy material is not allowed in the 12, 16, 20 or 30 yard. That is an axle weight limit, so it is not negotiable at any price. If your job is part slab and part general debris, take a 6 yard for the concrete and a larger box for the rest.
| Size | Dimensions | Weight limit | What it is for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 yard | 12' x 5' x 3' | filled level full | The only container rated for concrete, brick or dirt. Fits one driveway lane. |
| 10 yard | 12' x 7' x 3.5' | 2 tons | Single-room remodels, garage clean outs, small tear-offs. Same driveway footprint as the 12 yard with a lower wall. |
| 12 yard | 12' x 7' x 4' | 3 tons | Bathroom remodels, garage and basement cleanouts, deck tear-offs. |
| 16 yard | 14' x 7' x 5' | 4 tons | Large household cleanouts with bulky furniture, bigger remodels. |
| 20 yard | 18' x 8' x 4.5' | 4 tons | New construction, full-home cleanouts, larger commercial jobs. |
| 30 yard | 18' x 8' x 6.5' | 5 tons | New builds and commercial jobs with high-volume, lighter debris. |
Call with these four things and we will quote it in two minutes
1. The town
Where the container is going. It sets the run and the permit question.
2. The material
Tear-off, mixed debris, concrete, dirt, furniture. This picks the size before anything else does.
3. The size of the job
Square footage, unit count, or just describe it. We size these every day.
4. The drop date and the access
When you need it, and anything that blocks a truck: gate width, low wires, soft or newly sealed driveway.

Job-site swaps and more than one box
A remodel that runs three weeks does not fit in one container and it should not try to. Call for a switch-out when the box is about three quarters full and a fresh one is set in the same spot, the same size or a different one, at the rate for that container. On a bigger job two containers from the start is normal: a 6 yard for the masonry and a 16 or 20 for everything else, side by side on the drive.
New builds and full-house gut jobs run on the 20 or 30 yard and get swapped as the phases change. Roofing crews have their own page, sized to the weight of the shingles: roofing dumpster rental. Water and fire crews: restoration dumpster rental.

Contractor questions
Can I put concrete in a WasteBox dumpster?
Yes, in the 6 yard, and only in the 6 yard. Concrete, brick and dirt are not allowed in the 12, 16, 20 or 30 yard because of axle weight limits. If your job mixes clean concrete and general debris, order two containers rather than one big one, it is the only way that load is legal on the road.
How long can a container sit on my job?
One flat rate covers a full week, with a three day grace period on top at no extra charge, and the rate is identical whether the container is on site one day or the whole time. If the job runs longer, we swap it for a fresh container at the cost of another rental.
What are the weight limits?
12 yard is 3 tons, 16 and 20 yard are 4 tons, 30 yard is 5 tons. The 6 yard is rated to be filled level full, which is what makes it the heavy-material box.
Will the container fit my site?
Footprints run from 12' x 5' for the 6 yard to 18' x 8' for the 20 and 30 yard. The truck needs clear overhead room and a straight approach to back in and tilt the bed. Tight lot, low wires or a soft driveway, say so when you call and we will tell you what will actually work.
What do you need from me to quote a job?
Four things: the town, what is going in it, roughly how big the job is, and the date you need it dropped. That is a two minute phone call, not a form.
What cannot go in?
Hazardous, flammable or liquid material including oil, gasoline and paint unless it is fully hardened. No tires. No household food waste. Everything else on a normal build or tear-out is fine.
