At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Harvey, Illinois, and the south Cook County suburbs in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older brick homes getting new kitchens and roofs, rental units turning over between tenants, and construction and repair work on commercial lots near the interstates keep containers busy here.
Your price comes down to four things: the size you pick, the debris you load, how many days you keep it, and the disposal fees where the load ends up. Below, you will find our price ranges, the City's dumpster permit, what Illinois keeps out of landfills, and where Harvey debris goes.

A handful of local details decide what a Harvey dumpster rental costs.
The container you choose sets the base price. Picking one that holds the whole job means no second trip and no second haul charge.
Weight is the next big piece. Plaster walls, old shingles, and broken concrete are heavy for their size, so a small container can hit its weight limit fast.
Distance to disposal adds up too. No Cook County landfill has room left, so Harvey loads travel to a transfer station and then out to a landfill in another county. Those disposal fees are set by the facility.
The City's own options are limited for big jobs. Public Works will pick up items too large for regular trash if you buy a $98.50 debris ticket first, and bundled pieces must be no longer than four feet. For a full remodel or a house cleanout, one dumpster is usually faster and cheaper.

Think about how much debris the job will make and what it's made of. Prime Dumpster rents five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom tear-out, a basement cleanup, or a patio slab broken into chunks. With dense material, the weight limit comes before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is right for a garage or attic cleanout, carpet from a few rooms, or a small roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster covers most kitchen remodels and whole-house cleanouts when a home is sold or rented to new tenants.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits gut rehabs, additions, and jobs with a mix of drywall, lumber, and fixtures.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest. It's built for commercial projects, warehouse cleanouts, and demolition work.
Still deciding? Tell your account manager about the job, and they'll point you to the right size.
Harvey is stricter than most towns. Even when the dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway, the City has a permit for residential dumpsters.
The City's Building Department lists a Temporary Dumpsters and Portable Storage Containers permit on its permit forms page. For a home, the form allows one dumpster per residence for up to 30 days in a calendar year. The container must sit on a hard, paved surface, and you list your placement and removal dates.
The form also asks for the name of the hauler, and that hauler must hold a City of Harvey scavenger license. Portable storage units can't reach onto sidewalks, parkways, streets, or alleys, so plan on keeping any container off the public right-of-way.
The City doesn't list a fee or review time on the form. Call the Department of Buildings and Inspectional Services at 708-210-5300 with questions. Your account manager can confirm the licensing side and help you get the permit sorted before delivery.
Most household junk and building debris can go right in. The limits come from Illinois landfill rules and from the facilities that receive the load.
The Illinois EPA's disposal guidance lists several items banned from landfills. Grass, leaves, and brush have been banned since 1990, along with car batteries. Used tires and motor oil are banned too. Appliances like fridges, freezers, and air conditioners can't be landfilled until the Freon and other parts are removed.
Electronics are also out. The Illinois EPA says state law bans landfilling TVs and computers, so take them to an electronics recycler.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either.
If you're not sure about something, check with your account manager before you toss it 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.
Regular trash in Harvey is picked up by the City's contracted hauler, and bigger items can go out with a Public Works debris ticket. A remodel, roof, or full cleanout usually calls for a roll-off instead.
No landfill in Cook County is still taking new waste on the state's list. A dumpster from Harvey usually goes first to a south suburban transfer station, where loads are combined. From there, the waste heads to a landfill with space left.
The Illinois EPA's July 2025 landfill capacity report names only four landfills with room left in the Chicago region. They are Countryside Landfill, Laraway Recycling and Disposal Facility, Prairie View Recycling and Disposal Facility, and Zion Landfill. Clean concrete and some building debris may go to a recycler instead.
Private companies operate all four, and the route can change. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and explain the disposal fees before delivery.
We can usually schedule a Harvey dumpster within one to two business days, and it arrives in a 24 to 48 hour window. Because the City wants a permit for residential dumpsters, give yourself a little extra time before the drop date.
A few pointers for delivery day:
Remember the City's limit of 30 days per year for a home dumpster. If your project may run long, plan your rental dates with that in mind.

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.
A dumpster in Harvey runs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, for a five-day rental. Heavy debris and disposal fees at the receiving facility can change the total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and overage rates.
Harvey has no public dump nearby, and the City's paid debris pickup has size limits on each piece. For anything bigger than a few items, a dumpster is usually the cheaper and easier choice, since one haul takes everything.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's room left for a mattress, chairs, and bags of junk. Furniture takes up space more than weight, so you'll likely fill the container before you reach its limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Illinois also bans yard waste, tires, car batteries, motor oil, TVs, and computers from landfills. Appliances need their Freon removed first. Ask your account manager about anything you're unsure of.
Our 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. It's a good deal for small jobs, but heavy loads like brick or tile can go over the weight limit and add overage charges. Splitting heavy material into its own load can keep the cost down.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as a five-day rental, since we price by the job and not by the day. Weight changes the bill more than time. Ask your account manager how much weight is included and what extra days would cost.
You can load furniture, drywall, lumber, cabinets, carpet, roofing, and everyday household junk. Concrete and brick are fine as well if you keep an eye on the weight. When you're unsure about an item, your account manager can check before it goes in.
