Getting a dumpster to Joliet
Joliet is roughly 12.2 miles from the yard, about 25 minutes for a loaded roll-off truck. That is a standard morning run for our drivers, not a special trip, which matters when you are trying to pin down a delivery date.
Joliet is Will County, the same county our trucks cross every working day running between Lemont, Lockport and Joliet. If you are somewhere along that corridor, you are on a road we are already on.
Our drivers reach Joliet on IL-171, State Street and Ohio Street. Knowing the route matters more than it sounds: a loaded roll-off is long, heavy and cannot take a turn a pickup takes, and a driver who has run it before is not the one who gets stuck.
You are calling the company that owns the truck, not a broker reselling your Joliet job to whoever answers first. That is the whole difference on a day when the delivery window actually matters.
Which size for your Joliet job
Five sizes, and the choice usually comes down to weight rather than volume. One hard rule: concrete, brick and dirt go in the 6 yard and nothing larger. That is a legal axle weight limit, so it is not negotiable at any price.
| 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. |
| 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. |

Permits and placement in Joliet
Two situations, two answers. On your own driveway or private lot you almost never need anything from the village. On the street, the parkway or any public right of way, Joliet decides, and most municipalities around here require a permit for that.
We are not going to recite Joliet's ordinance from memory, and you should be skeptical of any rental company that does. Tell us where you want the container when you call 630-850-0770, and check with the village directly.
Joliet official site: joliet.gov. Look under building, permits or public works.
Whichever it is, tell us about the approach: low branches, a narrow gate, a steep or freshly sealed driveway, cars that need moving. A roll-off truck needs room to back in and tilt the bed, and knowing beforehand saves a wasted trip.
What goes in, what does not
Accepted: construction debris including wood, flooring, carpet and drywall, plus household debris like furniture, toys, clothes, appliances and electronics. Mattresses are accepted for a $25 fee.
Not accepted: hazardous, flammable or liquid material (oil, gasoline, paint unless fully hardened), tires, and household food waste.
Term: one week plus a three day grace period, ten days maximum, no extra charge. Same rate for one day or ten. More answers.
Contractors working in Joliet
If you run crews, the container is not the product, the schedule is. A full box on Tuesday with drywall going up Wednesday costs a day of labor across the whole crew, and no per-pull discount earns that back.
Joliet dumpster rental questions
How far is WasteBox from Joliet?
About 12.2 miles, roughly 25 minutes for a loaded roll-off truck from our yard at 373 Jeans Rd, Lemont, IL 60439. We run IL-171, State Street and Ohio Street.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Joliet?
On your own driveway, almost never. On the street or the parkway, usually yes, and Joliet is the authority that decides. Tell us where you want it placed when you call and we will tell you what we normally run into there.
Do you work with contractors in Joliet?
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. One number reaches the people who dispatch the trucks. If you are running crews in Joliet, the contractor page covers sizes, weight limits and the concrete rule.
What size dumpster do I need in Joliet?
Bathroom or garage cleanout, the 12 yard. Full-house cleanout with furniture, the 16 or 20. Concrete, brick or dirt has to be the 6 yard, and that is a weight limit rather than a preference. Heavy material is not allowed in anything larger.
How long can I keep it?
A week, plus a three day grace period, so ten days maximum at no extra charge. The rate is the same whether you fill it the first afternoon or keep it the full ten days.
What can and cannot go in?
Accepted: construction debris including wood, flooring, carpet and drywall, plus household debris like furniture, toys, clothes, appliances and electronics. Mattresses cost an extra $25. Not accepted: hazardous, flammable or liquid material (oil, gasoline, paint unless fully hardened), tires, and household food waste.
Can I put concrete or dirt in it?
Yes, in the 6 yard container, and only the 6 yard. It measures 12' x 5' x 3' and is the one size rated to carry that weight. Concrete, brick and dirt are not permitted in the 12, 16, 20 or 30 yard.
