Getting a dumpster to Manhattan
Manhattan is about 21.9 miles from Lemont, roughly 33 minutes each way. That is a real drive, so it is worth booking a day ahead and letting us put your drop into the right run rather than squeezing it in.
Manhattan 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 Manhattan on I-355, CH-52 and US-52. 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 Manhattan job to whoever answers first. That is the whole difference on a day when the delivery window actually matters.
Sizes we bring to Manhattan
Six, 12, 16, 20 and 30 yard. Weight decides more often than volume: the 12 holds 3 tons, the 16 and 20 hold 4, the 30 holds 5. Concrete, brick and dirt go in the 6 yard only, because that is the one size rated for the weight.
One week rental with a three day grace period on top, and the rate is identical whether you fill it the first afternoon or keep it the full ten days. Dimensions and weight limits for every size.
Permits and placement in Manhattan
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, Manhattan decides, and most municipalities around here require a permit for that.
We are not going to recite Manhattan'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.
Manhattan official site: www.villageofmanhattan.org. 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.
Contractors working in Manhattan
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.
Manhattan dumpster rental questions
How far is WasteBox from Manhattan?
About 21.9 miles, roughly 33 minutes for a loaded roll-off truck from our yard at 373 Jeans Rd, Lemont, IL 60439. We run I-355, CH-52 and US-52.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Manhattan?
On your own driveway, almost never. On the street or the parkway, usually yes, and Manhattan 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.
What size dumpster do I need in Manhattan?
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.
Do you deliver near Manhattan as well?
Yes. New Lenox, Mokena and Frankfort are all on the same side of our service area and we run containers to every one of them. A job sitting on a town line makes no difference to us.
