Do I Need a Permit?

Often, if you are going to rent an on-site dumpster, especially at a home, your village may require you to obtain a permit. We recommend calling your town before ordering a dumpster. In doing this, it will reduce the likelihood of delays with your village.

What Size Container?

Having a general idea of the estimated waste you will create will make ordering the right size dumpster easier. If you are not sure which dumpster to order, give us a call at 708-798-2212. We will help guide you to the right solution. Homewood disposal offers project dumpsters ranging from 6 yards to 30 yards.

Time Management

Dumpster rental saves you time! If you are on a time crunch or simply do not want your project waste laying around, a dumpster provides on-site garbage disposal! We can deliver your dumpster container in approximately 24 hours.

Keep the Above Area Clear

Trucks need space to deliver your dumpster. To reduce the chances of causing accidental damage to your property, we recommend being conscious of any wires, branches or other items that are overhead. By doing this, you will make the delivery of your dumpster both quicker and safer.

Driveway Protection

Here’s another tip we have learned from our 60+ years in the disposal industry. By laying down wooden planks or boards where your dumpster will be placed, before it arrives, you can help prevent potential driveway damage. Two sheets of plywood or three pieces of 2×6 lumber will work.

Provide Plenty of Space

For ease of access to the entire dumpster, it is recommended to give at least 6 feet of space between the back door of the dumpster and other structures. We suggest having an ideal spot for where you want your dumpster before it arrives to save time when your dumpster is delivered.

Prevent Waste Overflow

To keep both yourself and others safe, don’t fill your dumpster higher than the top of the fill line. Another way to ensure the safety of others is by equally distributing the weight of your debris throughout the dumpster. These two tips help prevent debris from sliding or blowing off the dumpster during transport. Please note, in Illinois, you can fill your dumpster with up to 6 tons of debris. In Indiana you can fill it with no more than 4 tons of debris.
