A few things decide what a dumpster costs in Vernon Hills.
First is size. You pay more for a larger container, but going too small can lead to overage charges or a second trip.
Second is weight. Landfills charge by the ton, so drywall, plaster, tile, and shingles cost more to dispose of than furniture and boxes. The state adds its own charge, too. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency lists a $2.00 per ton solid waste fee that large landfills pay, and it's built into what they charge.
Third is the project itself. The dumpster doesn't need its own Village permit, but the work often does. The Village's permit fee schedule starts at $30.00 for a residential project costing $1,500 or less and $50.00 for one up to $5,000. Plan those fees into your budget along with the container.

Match the size to the volume and the weight of what you're tossing. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is a good fit for a powder room or hall bath remodel, a small bedroom cleanout, or a load of old patio pavers. Dense debris like pavers and concrete hits the weight cap early, so the small size keeps it manageable.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, carpet removal from a few rooms, or a single-layer roof on a smaller home.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a favorite in Vernon Hills for a full house cleanout before a move or a remodel that spans a kitchen and a family room.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits additions, gut renovations, and new construction with plenty of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container. It fits commercial jobs, tenant build-outs, big demolition projects, and large property cleanouts.
Unsure which size fits? Share the project with your account manager, and they'll point you to the right one.
If your dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway, you won't find a separate dumpster permit on the Village's permit list. Your remodel may still need a building permit, so check that first.
Placing a container on the street is a different story. Village code makes it unlawful to put any waste or waste container on a public street, alley, sidewalk, or other public place. Plan on a driveway spot from the start.
You may see a Right of Way Waiver on the Village's permit page. That form covers brick or paver driveway aprons, not dumpsters. The same page says residential permit reviews typically take 15 business days, and payment is by cash or check.
Questions go to the Community Development Department at 290 Evergreen Drive, 847-367-3700. If your driveway is short or shared, your account manager can help you find a workable spot and the right Village contact.
Nearly everything from a remodel or cleanout can go in. The limits come from Illinois law and from what the landfill accepts.
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency says state law prohibits landfilling many common electronics, including TVs and computers. Illinois also bans landscape waste, used tires, motor oil, and car batteries from landfills. Appliances like refrigerators and air conditioners must have their Freon and mercury switches removed first.
Vernon Hills makes the electronics part easy. The Village takes electronics for free at Public Works, so set them aside before you load.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, and asbestos don't belong in a standard dumpster. Lake County residents can take household chemicals to the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County by appointment.
Have a question about a specific item? Ask 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.
Vernon Hills has no landfill of its own. Mixed debris from the Village usually heads to a private landfill in Grayslake, about 11 miles away, which charges by weight.
The items you pull out of your dumpster have local homes. Vernon Hills Public Works, at 490 Greenleaf Drive, Vernon Hills, IL 60061, takes electronics for free and runs a free food scrap drop-off. The office is open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and the phone number is 847-367-3726.
For paint thinner, pesticides, pool chemicals, and similar products, the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County runs household chemical waste drop-offs at 1311 N. Estes Street, Gurnee, IL 60031. It's for residents only, it holds collections twice a month except in December, and you need an appointment. Call 847-377-4950, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Village's curbside trash runs through a franchise hauler for homes with a garage and driveway. Village code still lets contractors use any Village-licensed hauler for construction debris. Your account manager will confirm how that applies to your address, where your load is going, and any fees before delivery.
490 Greenleaf Drive, Vernon Hills, IL 60061
Free electronics and food scrap drop-off. Office open weekdays, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
1311 N. Estes Street, Gurnee, IL 60031
Household chemical waste drop-off for residents, by appointment only.
Most dumpster rentals in Vernon Hills can be booked within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If your project needs a building permit, call a little earlier so the review and the delivery line up.
Keep these tips in mind:
Village construction hours matter too. Contractors can work, including loading and unloading materials, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, with no work on Sunday without a special permit. Homeowners working on their own property aren't held to those hours.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves homes and job sites throughout Vernon Hills, including Gregg's Landing, and nearby Lake County towns such as Mundelein, Libertyville, Buffalo Grove, and Lincolnshire. We plan delivery, pickup, and disposal around your schedule.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll help you choose a size, plan a driveway spot that follows Village rules, and give you a clear 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.
Our Vernon Hills dumpster rentals range from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. Your debris weight and the landfill's per-ton fees also affect the total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates before you book.
For most projects, a dumpster costs less. The nearest landfill is in Grayslake, so each self-haul run means gas, a weight-based fee, and a chunk of your afternoon. A dumpster stays in your driveway while you work, and we haul everything off in one trip.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch fills about one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. That leaves space for a mattress, a desk, and a pile of boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll usually run out of room before you hit the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, and asbestos out of your Vernon Hills dumpster. Illinois also bans TVs, computers, tires, motor oil, and yard waste from landfills. Drop electronics at Vernon Hills Public Works for free, and book a household chemical appointment in Gurnee.
The 10-yard dumpster is our lowest-priced option, at $399 to $499. Your final cost still depends on weight, since the landfill charges by the ton. A small container full of pavers or tile can cost more than a bigger one full of furniture, so tell us what's going in.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price dumpsters by the job rather than by the day, and your debris weight matters more to the bill. Ask your account manager about the included weight and any extra-day charge.
Most construction and household debris is fine, including lumber, drywall, carpet, cabinets, shingles, furniture, and general clutter. Concrete and pavers are allowed too, though their weight makes a smaller container the better pick. Your account manager can confirm any item you're unsure about.
