A few simple things decide what a dumpster costs in Lake Zurich, and most of them are in your hands.
First, pick the right size. A container that's too small leads to a second trip or an overage fee. One that's far too big means paying for space you won't use.
Second, think about weight. Dumpsters include a set amount of weight, and landfills charge by the ton. Shingles, plaster, tile, and concrete use up that allowance quickly, while furniture and cardboard take up space but weigh little.
Third, the landfill fee is part of the price. Illinois charges large landfills a state Solid Waste Fee of $2.00 per ton plus a smaller Subtitle D Fee, and those costs are built into what every hauler pays to dispose of a load. You won't see them as a line on your bill, but they're one reason weight matters so much.
Finally, placement can add a step. A dumpster on your driveway keeps things simple. One on a Village street or sidewalk needs approval first, which we cover below.

Match the container to the heaviest debris you'll load, then to the total amount. Prime Dumpster offers five sizes, and each one fits a different kind of job.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is right for one-room projects, like a powder room remodel or clearing out a spare bedroom. It's also the smart pick for concrete, brick, or patio pavers, because heavy loads reach the weight limit before they fill a bigger container.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers garage and attic cleanouts, a small deck teardown, or a roof with a single layer of shingles. It gives you extra room without a big jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice for Lake Zurich homes. It works for a full-house cleanout before a move or a remodel that spans the kitchen and a couple of other rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits larger projects, like gutting a house down to the studs, building an addition, or new home construction. It handles a mix of lumber, drywall, and trim.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest size we offer. It's made for commercial projects, big demolition jobs, and cleanouts at offices or warehouses.
Still deciding? Walk your account manager through the project, and they'll recommend a size.
A dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or a job site, doesn't need a Village permit. The rules apply once the container sits on a street, alley, sidewalk, or other public way.
The Village of Lake Zurich code says no one may place or keep any structure or object on a street, alley, sidewalk, or public way without a permit from the Village Board of Trustees. A separate rule bars obstructions near the paved part of the right-of-way unless the Village grants an exception. The code also says building materials can't be stored on a street or public place without Village approval. None of these rules names dumpsters or lists a fee, so ask the Village before you plan a street drop.
Community Development handles permits and inspections for the Village. You can reach the department at 847-540-1696, or call Village Hall at 847-438-5141. Village Hall is at 70 East Main Street and is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Village staff directory lists each department.
Not sure if your spot counts as the public way? Your account manager can help you find the right Village contact before delivery.
Most household and building debris is allowed. The limits come from Illinois landfill law and from the rules at the landfill that takes your load.
Illinois bans two common items from landfills outright. According to the Illinois EPA, state law keeps TVs, computers, and many other electronics out of landfills, and it also bans used and waste tires. Tires need to go to a permitted tire recycler instead.
Standard exclusions apply too. Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, and asbestos can't go in a dumpster.
For household chemicals, Lake County residents can use the collection program run by the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County, known as SWALCO. Drop-offs are for households and need an appointment.
If you're not sure about something, check with your account manager before you toss it.
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.
Lake County relies on a small group of landfills rather than one county site. The closest is Countryside Landfill at 31725 N. Route 83, Grayslake, IL 60030, north of Lake Zurich. Where a given dumpster goes depends on the hauler's contract, so your load may end up at Countryside or another permitted Illinois landfill.
Statewide, landfill space is still available. The Illinois EPA reports 35 permitted landfills with about 20 years of combined space left at recent rates.
For things that can't go in a dumpster, the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County (SWALCO) runs its household chemical collection at 1311 N. Estes Street, Gurnee, IL 60031. Drop-offs are by appointment only, twice a month except in December, and the program is for households, not businesses. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., at 847-377-4950.
Your account manager can confirm which landfill will take your load and go over the costs before delivery.

In Lake Zurich, we can usually schedule your dumpster within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If you need it on a street, reach out a little earlier so there's time to hear back from the Village.
Keep these pointers in mind:
Plan around weekends, too. A dumpster you fill on a Saturday may not be hauled until the next business day.

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 rental in Lake Zurich ranges from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, for five days. Heavy debris and landfill fees can move the final number. Your account manager will confirm the weight allowance and overage rate when you book.
For most cleanouts and remodels, renting is the better deal. Hauling it yourself means several round trips to a landfill outside town, disposal fees on each load, and a lot of lifting. A dumpster sits in your driveway, so you load it at your own pace and we haul it once.
Yes, easily. A three-seat couch takes up roughly one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. That leaves room for a recliner, a mattress, lamps, and bags of household junk. Since furniture is light for its size, you'll run out of space before you hit the weight allowance.
In Lake Zurich, keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, and asbestos. Illinois law also bans TVs, computers, and tires from landfills, so those need to be recycled instead. Household chemicals can go to SWALCO's collection program by appointment.
The 10-yard dumpster costs the least up front, at $399 to $499. The best value depends on your debris, though. A small container packed with shingles or concrete can go over its weight limit and cost more than a larger one. Your account manager can help you compare.
A three-day rental usually costs about the same as the standard five days, because the price covers delivery, pickup, and disposal rather than daily time. The weight you load has a bigger effect on the total. Ask your account manager what's included before your delivery date.
Most construction and cleanout debris is allowed, such as drywall, lumber, siding, carpet, cabinets, furniture, roofing, and cardboard. Concrete, brick, and dirt can go in too, but they're heavy, so a smaller container is best. Electronics, tires, and hazardous materials need to stay out.
