Getting a dumpster to Mokena
Mokena sits 16.7 miles out, roughly 26 minutes of driving each direction. We run there regularly. The one thing that helps is notice, because a round trip to Mokena takes most of the working part of a driver's morning.
Mokena is in Will County. Will is the half of our territory with the most active construction, so we carry the full size range out this way as a matter of course.
We get to Mokena via I-355, US-6 and Wolf Road. Local knowledge on a job like this is unglamorous. It is knowing which approach a roll-off truck can make and which one wastes everyone's morning.
There is no middleman on a Mokena job. The number on this page reaches the yard that loads the truck, which is why we can tell you yes or no on a date instead of promising to check.
Which size for your Mokena 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 Mokena
Where it sits decides whether you need paperwork. Private driveway in Mokena, almost never. Public street or parkway, Mokena sets the rule and it usually involves a permit.
We are not going to recite Mokena'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.
Mokena official site: www.mokena.org. Look under building, permits or public works.
One thing worth two minutes on the phone: the approach. The truck backs in and tilts the bed up, so it needs overhead clearance and a straight run. Tell us if the Mokena driveway is tight, sloped or freshly sealed.
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 Mokena
Contractors in Mokena tend to call us for one of two reasons: somebody else missed a drop, or they need concrete taken and were told no. We can help with both.

About 16.7 miles, roughly 26 minutes for a loaded roll-off truck from our yard at 373 Jeans Rd, Lemont, IL 60439. We run I-355, US-6 and Wolf Road.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Mokena?
On your own driveway, almost never. On the street or the parkway, usually yes, and Mokena 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.
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 Mokena as well?
Yes. Frankfort, New Lenox and Orland Hills 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.
How much notice do you need for a Mokena delivery?
Mokena is about 26 minutes each way, so a day's notice genuinely helps us put your drop into a sensible run. Call anyway if it is urgent, we would rather tell you yes or no on the phone than have you waiting on a form.
