Harwood Heights, Illinois is a small village of approximately 8,600 residents in Cook County, located in the dense northwest Chicago suburban corridor between Norridge and Niles. Despite its compact size of less than one square mile, Harwood Heights has a tight-knit community feel and a mix of residential homes and commercial properties along Harlem Avenue and Lawrence Avenue. EcoBox Dumpsters provides affordable roll-off dumpster rental with transparent pricing and reliable delivery throughout Harwood Heights.
Yes. A permit is required per property for a roll-off, including driveway placement. The hauler must be Village-licensed. Delivery over a sidewalk also triggers a bond requirement; confirm current fees and insurance requirements with the Building Department.
The ordinance permits curbside placement in front of the work address or a driveway that does not block sidewalks or create a safety hazard. It does not list a lawn location. Containers are limited to 30 cubic yards and need reflectors, visible hauler contact details, traffic-facing lighted barricades and a protected permit attached to the container.
The stated maximum is 7 days on the street or 10 days in a driveway. Notify the Building Department for additional time; extensions may be granted after inspection. An EcoBox rental extension does not extend the municipal permit. If no local or permit deadline applies, you can arrange to keep it as long as you need, subject to availability. EcoBox includes 7 days; additional charges accrue after day 7. Contact us for a customized quote for an extended project.
