The type of debris usually decides it. Heavy material like concrete, brick, dirt, or rock belongs in the 10-yard dumpster, and it's best to keep it under 5 cubic yards, about two feet below the top edge, so the load stays within the weight limit. For lighter, bulkier debris like furniture, drywall, or old fencing, the 20-yard dumpster is the better value, giving you more space for a small difference in price.

The Village of Bolingbrook doesn't list a dumpster or right-of-way permit among its published forms, and driveway placement doesn't require one. If you'd prefer to put the dumpster on the street, it's worth a quick call to Village Engineering at 630-226-8850 to confirm before delivery. We're also happy to help you find the best spot on your property when you book.

Garage cleanouts in Bolingbrook often turn up a few items that can't go in a dumpster, like tires, car batteries, propane tanks, motor oil, and old paint, so it helps to set those aside before you start loading. Illinois also bans landscape waste such as grass and branches, along with TVs and computers. Those rules apply to both the Will and DuPage County sides of Bolingbrook.

Same-day and next-day dumpster delivery are available for most Bolingbrook orders so that you can get started without much waiting. Once you book, you'll receive a confirmation email with your terms, followed by a reminder text the morning of drop-off. That way, you'll always know when to expect your dumpster.

Not with VaVia's driveway protection. Our drivers set planks under the container's back wheels, and we can add a longer plank under the front rails on request so the dumpster never touches the pavement. If the driveway isn't the right spot, it can go on any solid, level surface, and our smaller single-axle trucks can place it in tight areas. The earth-tone container is also designed to blend in, so it won't stand out on your street.
