How To Rent A Dumpster Chicago IL

By Elizabeth Hamilton


Construction projects normally produce a lot of debris that must be properly collected to ensure they are efficiently disposed of. A large container is needed to do the job and dumpsters are just perfect for the job. There are a number of things that contractors and property owners need to know before they can rent a dumpster Chicago. Read on to learn more.

While every city requires property owners to obtain a permit before placing dumpsters on public spaces, no permit is needed if you have enough space on your property to keep the dumpster. If you do not have enough space, the permit will allow you to keep the dumpster on the sidewalk, parking lot or in an alley.

When dumpsters are placed on public spaces, a permit must be obtained from the city. This is because the container will pose a danger to public safety and may obstruct traffic, both foot and vehicle traffic. The Department of Transportation is usually responsible for issuing these permits. A permit application fee and parking fees for the entire period will be required during the permit application process. A detailed layout of the work site as well as the proposed location of the container must also be submitted.

In the city of Chicago, there are many firms that rent dumpsters for a variety of uses. They have a wide range of dumpsters that differ in size and material used as well as design. Since you will need a permit to keep the container in a public space, you may want to consider renting a container from a firm that has been approved by local authorities.

The fees charged by different companies for renting dumpsters differ greatly. Ideally, you should compare both the rent as well as the hauling charges. Obviously, smaller dumpsters are cheaper to rent than larger dumpsters, but they will require frequent hauling, which will increase the cost further. Therefore, you should compare both the hauling charges and rental fees charged.

There are a number of items that are prohibited and should never be thrown into dumpsters. This includes hazardous materials, such as asbestos, items containing lead paint, pool chemicals, motor oil, fluorescent light bulbs tube television, antifreeze, solvents and thinners among other things. These items should be kept separate and disposed of through a hazardous waste disposal service.

When dumpsters are placed on a tarmacked or paved surface, they can cause damage during the loading and unloading process. To ensure the damage can be effectively repaired, the city requires contractors and property owners to get an insurance policy to cover this risk. The policy must name the city as the additional insured.

Dumpsters can be used to collect landscaping debris when a lawn is being replaced. They can also be used to collect old roofing shingles during a roof replacement project. When carrying out a remodeling project, debris from old floors and walls can also be thrown into the dumpster. As you can see, dumpsters have a wide range of uses. In fact, they can be used for everyday waste collection in residential neighborhoods with multiple dwellings.
