Here's what drives the cost of a dumpster in Freeport.
The size you choose is the starting point. Getting a container big enough for the whole job saves you from paying for a second haul.
The debris matters next. Plaster and lath from older houses, brick, and roofing are all heavy. Tires and electronics need special handling in Illinois, so tell us about them up front.
The disposal site counts too. Local loads often go to the Freeport Transfer Station on South Walnut, and its fees are part of what you pay. Loads must be covered with a tarp, or they can be turned away.
City rules round it out. A container in the street needs a City permit, which is free for the first two weeks and then carries a small fee for each extra week. The City also contracts one company for residential trash and refers to licensed collectors in its code. Your account manager will confirm how those rules apply to your job before you book.

Pick your size by how much debris you have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest. It's a fit for a bathroom remodel, a small porch tear-off, or a load of old brick and concrete. Heavy debris uses up the weight allowance before the space, so this size is the smart choice for dense material.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles medium projects. Use it for an attic or garage cleanout, carpet removal, or a small roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice for whole-house cleanouts and remodels in Freeport's older homes. It holds plaster, trim, and furniture from several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits large renovations, additions, and new construction. It's handy when a job runs a few weeks and produces a lot of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It's meant for commercial projects, barn or outbuilding tear-downs, and big cleanouts.

A dumpster on private property, like your driveway or yard, generally doesn't need a permit in Freeport. You do need one if the container goes on a street or other public property.
City code requires a written permit from the Public Works Director before a temporary dumpster goes on a street. Each permit covers one container for seven days, and Public Works decides exactly where it sits. There's no fee for the first 14 days, and the fee can be waived for fire, flood, or storm cleanup.
The rules for street placement are detailed. You'll need plywood at least three-quarters of an inch thick under the wheels to protect the pavement. The container needs red and white reflective tape on its corners, or reflective cones on every side. It can't sit within 10 feet of a fire hydrant, and it can't block a sidewalk, access to the site, or traffic.
The City's dumpster permit application goes to City Hall at 314 W. Stephenson Street. For questions, call 815-235-8202. Your account manager can help you work through the application and find the right contact.
Most household and construction debris is fine to load. The limits come from Illinois landfill law and from the local transfer station's rules.
Illinois bars many electronics from landfills, including TVs and computers. Whole tires are also banned from landfills in the state. Keep both out of your dumpster.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. The transfer station also turns away yard waste of any kind during its resident drop-off days.
For large branches, there's a wood lot at the same South Walnut address that takes limbs 4 inches or larger. If you're unsure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Many dumpster loads from Freeport go to the transfer station at 2133 S. Walnut in Freeport. It's run with the City's residential hauler and serves as the main local drop point for trash and bulky items.
The transfer station is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. It's also open the first Saturday of each month, 8 to 11 a.m., when city residents can drop off trash and bulk items for free. Every load needs to be tarped.
You can find more on the City's waste disposal and recycling page. Because the station closes early in the afternoon, timing matters when you want a full container hauled the same day. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and walk you through any fees before delivery.
Most Freeport rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If it's going in the street, book a few days ahead so the City permit is ready. Early booking can save you money, too.
A few tips for smooth delivery:
The transfer station's short hours matter too. It closes at 2 p.m. on weekdays and is closed most weekends, so a container filled on Friday afternoon may wait until Monday.

Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
Freeport dumpster rentals start at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and go up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. What you load and the local disposal fees also shape the total. Your account manager will confirm included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For one small load, taking it to the transfer station yourself might be cheaper. For a remodel or full cleanout, a dumpster usually costs less overall. The station's weekday hours are short, and every trip takes gas, time, and a tarped load. One container handles it all.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving plenty of room for a mattress, a dresser, and boxes. Furniture fills space quickly but doesn't weigh much, so you'll run out of room before hitting the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your dumpster. Illinois also bans TVs, computers, and whole tires from landfills, so those can't go in either. Yard waste should go to a separate site, and large branches can go to the local wood lot.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. Your final cost depends on what you load. Brick, plaster, and concrete can push a small container past its limit quickly, so keeping heavy debris in its own load helps you avoid overage fees.
A three-day rental typically costs the same as a five-day rental, because we price by the job, not the day. The weight of what you load matters more than the rental length. Ask your account manager how much tonnage is included before delivery.
You can load most home and construction debris, including lumber, drywall, plaster, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general cleanout items. Brick and concrete are allowed too, though they're heavy. If you're not sure about an item, check with your account manager before loading it.
