Roll-off dumpster rental in Des Plaines runs from a 10 yard box for a small cleanout to a 40 yard box for a full teardown, with day rates measured between $51 and $112 and weekly rates between $426 and $778 depending on size. Most residential jobs land on a 20 yard dumpster rental. Pricing depends on tonnage, debris type and how long you keep the box on site.
A 10 yard box handles a bathroom gut job or a garage cleanout. A 10 yard roll off dumpster is the smallest unit Des Plaines Porta Pros rolls out, and it fits in a single driveway spot without eating the whole curb. Step up to a 20 yard dumpster rental for a kitchen remodel, a roof tear-off, or a couple rooms of flooring. The 20 yd roll off dumpster rental is the size we deliver most in Des Plaines, because it balances volume against what a residential driveway can carry. A 30 yard dumpster rental suits a whole-house renovation or a small commercial strip-out. For new construction, demolition or a big commercial gut, go with the 40 yard dumpster rental. If you are not sure which box matches your pile, the dumpster sizes and dimensions page lays out footprint and height for each one side by side, and our crew will ask a few questions about material and volume before confirming size over the phone.

Those figures come from measured data across roll-off jobs, not a flat rate card, so a small demo job priced by the day looks different from a month-long renovation rental. The dumpster rental cost page breaks the same numbers down by size and duration if you want the full picture before requesting a quote. Delivery is billed separately from the box rental itself, and that fee scales with distance and how fast you need the truck there. For weekend swap jobs, the delivery premium tends to run higher than a weekday drop because trucks are tighter to schedule. If your project runs longer than expected, ask about extending the same unit rather than paying for a second delivery.
Constrution debris, drywall, wood, shingles, flooring and general household junk are fine in a standard roll-off. What is not fine: tires, batteries, paint, solvents, refrigerants, asbestos and anything flammable. Des Plaines Porta Pros will turn away a load if we spot banned material, because hauling it wrong creates liability for both sides. The full rundown, including which items need a separate disposal path, is on what cannot go in a dumpster. If your job involves old paint cans or pesticide containers, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) covers washing requirements for crews applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, which matters if you are staffing a demo crew alongside the dumpster and need a handwashing station rental on site too. Mixing prohibited material into a load is the single most common reason a job gets an overage charge tacked on after pickup, so sort as you go rather than after the box is full.
Every size has a tonnage limit built into the rental, and going over it costs extra per ton once the truck weighs the load at the transfer station. Heavy debris like concrete, dirt and shingles fills the weight limit long before it fills the box, so a half-empty 20 yard dumpster loaded with roofing tear-off can still trigger an overage fee. The full weight breakdown by size, plus what the overage rate looks like, is on dumpster weight limits. If you are working with dense material, a smaller box rented twice sometimes beats a big box you cannot legally fill. Talk through your material mix with us before delivery so we can steer you to the right size and skip the surprise on pickup day.
Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or the curb strip in front of a property, needs confirming with the City of Des Plaines before delivery. We have not verified a specific ordinance number for dumpster placement, so treat any curb or street placement as something to clear with the city first rather than assuming it is fine. Driveway placement on private property is typically the easier path and avoids the question entirely. If your project sits on a job site with other trailers or fencing nearby, check dumpster permit requirements for what documentation to have ready, and pair the dumpster with temporary fence rental if the site needs to stay secured overnight. Commercial sites juggling multiple pieces of equipment should also look at construction site services for how dumpsters, fencing and restrooms get coordinated on one delivery schedule.
Most rentals run by the day, the weekend or the week, and the price table above reflects real cost differences between those windows, not a simple multiple. A weekend rental suits a garage cleanout or a small landscaping job. A week-long rental fits most kitchen and bath remodels. Renovation jobs running a month or longer get a monthly rate instead of paying repeated weekly charges, which is worth asking about up front if your contractor has given you a timeline. Home renovation jobs specifically tend to underestimate how long debris removal takes, so pair your dumpster order with a look at home renovation porta potty options if the crew is on site for more than a few days. Extending an existing rental is almost always cheaper than scheduling a second delivery and pickup.
We run roll-off dumpsters, portable toilets and site equipment out of Des Plaines and into the towns around it. Mount Prospect sits 3.4 miles northwest, Park Ridge is 4.6 miles southeast, Elk Grove Village is 6.6 miles southwest, Glenview is 8.4 miles northeast, and Wheeling is 8.7 miles north, all within normal delivery range. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to place the box safely, so tell us about gates, low branches or tight alleys when you book. If your project also needs sanitation, we carry everything from a standard porta potty rental to a full restroom trailer rental, and construction crews often bundle a dumpster with a construction dumpster rental order and a temporary power pole for one coordinated site visit. Check service areas for the full list of towns we reach, or see specific pages for porta potty rental in Mount Prospect, porta potty rental in Park Ridge, porta potty rental in Elk Grove Village, porta potty rental in Glenview and porta potty rental in Wheeling.
A dumpster rarely shows up alone on a real job site. Construction crews working full days need toilets on site under OSHA 1926.51(c), which sets the ratio of facilities to workers, and most contractors pair their box with a porta john rental or a full portable restroom rental order placed the same week. Sites doing any excavation or demolition often add storage container rental for tools and materials, or a mobile office trailer rental if the crew needs a place to review plans out of the weather. Jobs that stretch past sunset benefit from a light tower rental, and any site handling wash water or paint runoff should look at handwashing station rental alongside the dumpster. If you are working through what your specific job actually requires, request a quote and describe the scope; we will tell you exactly what to order and skip anything you do not need.
Day rates for a standard roll-off run between $51 and $112, with weekly rentals between $426 and $778 depending on debris type and how full the box runs. A 20 yard box sits in the middle of that range for most residential remodel jobs. Delivery is a separate line item.
A 10 yard box suits a single room cleanout or a small bathroom demo. A 20 yard box roughly doubles that capacity and handles a kitchen remodel, a roof tear-off or several rooms of flooring without filling past the weight limit too fast.
Street and right-of-way placement needs confirming with the City of Des Plaines before delivery; we have not verified a specific placement ordinance, so check with the city directly. Driveway placement on private property is usually simpler and avoids the question.
Tires, batteries, paint, solvents, refrigerants, asbestos and flammable material cannot go in a standard roll-off. Mixing banned items into a load risks an overage charge or a rejected pickup. See what cannot go in a dumpster for the full list.
Rentals run by the day, weekend, week or month, and each window has its own rate rather than a simple multiple of the daily price. Renovation jobs running past a week or two usually do better on a monthly rate than repeated weekly charges.
Each size comes with a built-in tonnage limit, and exceeding it triggers a per-ton overage fee assessed when the truck weighs the load. Heavy debris like concrete or shingles hits the weight cap before it fills the box visually, so check dumpster weight limits before loading.
Commercial and construction sites should confirm placement rules with the City of Des Plaines the same way residential jobs do, especially if the box sits anywhere near the street. Pair the dumpster with proper site fencing; see dumpster permit requirements and temporary fence rental.
Booking a few days ahead gives us room to schedule the truck and confirm clearance, since a delivery needs about 60 feet of straight space behind it. Rush deliveries are possible but tend to carry a higher delivery fee than a scheduled drop.
