A 40 yard trash dumpster holds around 40 cubic yards of debris, roughly enough for a full home gutting or a mid-size commercial cleanout. Des Plaines Porta Pros lets you rent a 40 yard dumpster on day, week and month terms, and delivery runs 100 to 500 dollars depending on how far the truck travels. It is the largest roll-off dumpster 40 yard option most Des Plaines job sites will ever need.
Picture a box about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and 8 feet tall. That is the rough shape you get with most 40 yard roll-off dumpster rental units, though the exact 40-yard dumpster size varies a bit by manufacturer. Compare that to the 10 yard dumpster rental, which fits a small bathroom tear-out, or the 20 yard dumpster rental that handles a garage cleanout. For anyone still weighing sizes, the dumpster sizes and dimensions page lays out the whole lineup side by side, including where the 30 yard dumpster rental lands in between. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point to back in and lower a container this size, so a long driveway or open lot in Des Plaines works better than a tight alley. If your site cannot offer that clearance, mention it when you request a quote so the driver can plan an approach.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| Week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| Month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Those figures are what you will see when you search 40 yard dumpster rental prices near me, and they cover the container rental itself. Delivery is separate, and a weekly delivery fee generally runs 50 to 150 dollars, while a same-day rush delivery can run higher. Weight matters too. Roll-offs get billed by tonnage past a threshold, so a load of shingles or concrete weighs out faster than mixed household junk. Check the dumpster weight limits page before loading anything dense, and see what cannot go in a dumpster since paint, tires and certain electronics usually get turned away. For a full cost breakdown across every size, the dumpster rental cost guide is the place to start, and the standalone roll-off dumpster rental page covers general terms that apply to all sizes.
That depends on where the container sits. If it stays on private property, most Des Plaines projects will not need one. Placement in the public right of way, like a street or curb lane, needs confirming with the city before delivery, since we do not have a specific ordinance number to cite here. Check the dumpster permit requirements page for the general logic, and call the city directly if the driveway is not an option.
Crews looking to rent a 40 yard dumpster find this size shows up most on construction dumpster rental jobs and full-property cleanouts across Des Plaines. Crews working near Mount Prospect, about 3.4 miles northwest, or Park Ridge, 4.6 miles southeast, often run the same 40-yard container for a full framing or demo phase. If your site also needs sanitation, pair the dumpster with a unit from the standard porta potty rental lineup or check construction site services for the full package. Job sites running crews past OSHA's 1926.51(c) toilet ratio, one facility for every 20 workers, usually need more than one unit anyway, and the how many porta potties do i need guide walks through the math. Housekeeping rules under OSHA 1926.25 also require debris to be cleared from active work areas, which is exactly the job a 40-yard box is built for.
Most rentals run by the day, week or month, priced as shown above. A week is common for demolition phases, a month for slower renovation timelines. Extending a rental mid-job is usually simple. Confirm your timeline when you book so the pickup gets scheduled without a gap.
A 40 yard usually covers a full-house cleanout or major renovation debris. Smaller jobs fit a 20 yard dumpster rental or the mid-size 30 yard dumpster rental. If you are unsure, describe the job on the request a quote form and get a size recommendation back.
Usually yes, mixed loads are common. Some materials still get excluded regardless of load type. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before you fill it, since certain chemicals, tires and appliances need separate disposal.
No, delivery is billed separately from the container rental. It generally runs 100 to 500 dollars depending on distance and timing. The dumpster rental cost page breaks down delivery ranges alongside rental rates.
Usually not, since private property placement typically avoids permitting in Des Plaines. Curb or street placement is different and needs confirming with the city directly. See dumpster permit requirements for more on the distinction.
