At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Quincy, Illinois, and the rest of Adams County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. The brick and limestone housing stock in the East End and South Side needs constant repair, riverfront property changes hands and gets gutted, and construction work along Broadway and the bypass keeps contractors ordering containers.
Four inputs set your total: the container you choose, the debris you put in it, the days you keep it, and the per-ton charge where the load is weighed in. What follows covers our ranges, how the City handles a container at the street, and the Illinois rules on what cannot be buried.

Here is what pushes a Quincy quote up or down.
Start with capacity. The jump from one size to the next is modest next to the cost of a second trip, so when a job could go either way, take the larger container.
Then look at the load itself. Old plaster, slate, brick and cast iron are common in Quincy's older homes and they are all heavy, which matters because disposal is priced by the ton.
Separation is worth real money in this state. Clean concrete, brick and broken pavement can go to an authorized clean debris site instead of a landfill, and Illinois EPA puts that cost at roughly a tenth of landfill disposal. Keeping masonry out of your mixed load is often the single biggest saving available.
Finally, there is the placement. Quincy allows a temporary container at the street only with City permission, and getting that sorted early avoids a delay on delivery day. Your account manager will handle the sequencing with you.

Judge the volume first, then weigh it in your head. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes between 10 and 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the shortest container and the easiest to park on an older, narrow lot. Choose it for masonry, tile and dirt, or for a single-room strip-out.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a detached garage, an attic clear-down or flooring pulled from a few rooms.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Quincy households settle on, whether that's a full estate cleanout or a kitchen and bathroom done at once.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits additions, gut renovations and new construction, where framing offcuts and drywall fill space fast.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container and is built for commercial work, industrial cleanouts and high-volume, low-weight debris.
Caught between two sizes? Your account manager can walk the job with you over the phone and settle it.
Keep the container on private property, such as a driveway or a fenced site, and no City approval is needed. The moment it moves onto a street or the public right-of-way, the City wants to know.
The City of Quincy Engineering Department is the office that handles the right-of-way. Its department page lists temporary dumpster placement as something allowed with City permission, alongside street opening and driveway permits, and says the department issues permits for excavations and improvements on City right-of-way.
Engineering works out of City Hall at 730 Maine Street and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Building and demolition permits come from a separate office, the Department of Inspections and Enforcement, at the same address.
Call the Engineering Department at 217-228-4527 before you set a delivery date for a street placement. Your account manager can help you describe the spot and reach the right person.
Ordinary construction and household debris is welcome. The exclusions are set by Illinois law and by the site that receives the load.
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency bars landscape waste, used tires, lead acid vehicle batteries and used motor oil from landfills. Large appliances are barred too unless their mercury switches, Freon and other parts have been removed first.
The agency also groups pesticides, thermostats, and fluorescent and high intensity bulbs as universal waste, which means they need their own handling rather than a place in your container.
Electronics are their own category. The state says it is illegal in Illinois to put certain devices in the trash, so pull televisions, computers and monitors out before the truck comes.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos have no place in a roll-off container. When an item leaves you unsure, your account manager will find out before it costs you.
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.
Quincy's City garbage service was built for houses, not job sites. The Solid Waste Division collects from single-family homes and buildings with four units or fewer, which leaves a remodel or a teardown to a container.
Landscape material has its own destination. The City's Yard Waste Disposal Site sits at 711 West Radio Road and runs seven days a week from mid-March into December, so brush and branches can leave your project separately and stay out of the landfill.
Everything else is weighed in at a permitted landfill. Illinois EPA counts four landfills with remaining capacity in western Illinois, and clean masonry can go to an authorized clean debris site instead at a lower cost. Your account manager will tell you which route your load takes and what it means for the invoice.
Most Quincy orders can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the truck arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Street placements need extra notice for the City's permission, and booking ahead tends to cost less.
Five habits that keep delivery day simple:
Plan the yard waste side too. The City's landscape waste site closes for the winter, so a fall cleanup is easier to route than a February one.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster covers every part of Quincy, from the historic blocks near Maine Street and the older neighborhoods above the river to the newer streets east toward Jennifer Road and out into the surrounding Adams County countryside. Tell us where the work is and we'll arrange delivery, pickup and disposal around it.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, point out anything that has to be kept separate, and give you a firm price on the call.
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 10-yard container runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard container runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. Because disposal is billed by weight, what you load changes the total as much as the size does. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Renting wins for anything bigger than a trailer load. Self-hauling means a minimum charge at every arrival, plus fuel and hours you could spend working. A container sits at the job until you're finished and then goes in one trip, with the disposal handled for you.
Yes, easily. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, so a chair, a mattress and several bags still fit around it. Bulky furniture runs out of space well before it approaches a weight limit, so plan by volume.
Illinois keeps landscape waste, tires, lead acid batteries, used motor oil and whole appliances out of landfills, and it makes throwing away televisions, computers and monitors illegal. Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel and asbestos are never allowed. Pesticides and fluorescent bulbs need separate handling too.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. The material still decides the final figure. Brick, plaster and concrete from Quincy's older houses are dense, so they reach a weight limit quickly and are usually cheaper in a load of their own.
A three-day rental generally matches the five-day price, since we charge for the job rather than by the day. Tonnage is what really moves the bill. Ask your account manager how much weight comes with your container and what each extra ton costs.
Most building and cleanout debris is fine in Quincy, including lumber, drywall, plaster, roofing, flooring, cabinets, siding, windows, furniture and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick and asphalt are welcome too and often cost less in a dedicated load. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
