Dumpster Rental in Gurnee, IL

Looking for a reliable way to handle debris from a cleanout, renovation or job site? EcoBox Dumpsters provides affordable roll-off dumpster rental in Gurnee, IL, for residential and commercial use. With various dumpster sizes and transparent pricing, we make it simple to find the right dumpster for your next cleanout, renovation, or job site.

Do I need a dumpster permit in Gurnee?

Ask Community Development whether your project needs a temporary-use approval. Private-property placement must meet the Village's temporary-dumpster standards; a street permit is not an alternative because public right-of-way placement is prohibited.

Where can I place my dumpster in Gurnee?

For single-family and two-family homes, use an improved driveway, such as asphalt, concrete or brick pavers. Keep at least 5 feet from all lot lines and the principal building. Do not use grass, required landscaped areas, open space, stormwater basins, sight triangles or the public right-of-way.

How long can I keep my dumpster in Gurnee?

Normally limited to two events per calendar year, up to 30 days each. The time limit does not apply with an active building permit, but removal is required within 14 days after the final or conditional certificate of occupancy and/or permit closeout. 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; extra days are $20 each, through the day the container is collected. Contact us for a customized quote for an extended project.
