Guides & advice
Six guides written by the people who run the containers, for Naperville-area homeowners and contractors. Sizing math, Naperville permits, real costs, what can and cannot go in, and why yard waste needs its own load in Illinois.
All guides
No filler. Every rule quoted comes from the city, village, county or state that wrote it, with the department to confirm.
Sizing
Quick answer: a 20 yard fits most Naperville remodels and cleanouts. How to pick between 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 yards by volume, weight and driveway space — and why the Groot cart will not take the job.
Read the guidePermits
No Naperville permit found for a driveway roll-off; a Right-of-Way permit for the street. Across the 17 places we serve the rules run from street occupancy permits to scavenger licences capped at seven. Every town, from its own code.
Read the guideCost
Naperville dumpster rentals typically run $350–$750. What is inside that number — disposal, the weight allowance, the days, the drive — the town fees that are published, and the disposal rates that are not.

Everything in one place: why rent, how a roll-off rental works in Naperville, sizes and weights, what Groot collects and what it will not, placement and permits, demolition paperwork, the towns around the city, and what goes in the box.

The yes list, the Illinois landfill bans behind the no list — yard waste, tires, batteries, oil, appliances and, since 2026, electronics — and where every banned item actually goes around Naperville.
Read the guideYard waste
Illinois has banned landscape waste from landfills since 1990. What that means for a yard clean-up roll-off, why sod counts as trash in Naperville and Romeoville, and the brush and clean-up rules in every town around us.
