Most household jobs happen at the weekend, because that is when there are two people free and nothing else booked. Roll-off containers take that pile off the property in one collection instead of a dozen trips.
Getting a weekend job finished in the weekend
The thing that stalls a weekend clear-out is nowhere to put the pile. Everything comes as far as the garage, the garage fills, and Sunday afternoon ends with the job half done.
A container in the driveway on Friday changes the order of the work. Each room empties straight outside, so the pile never has to be handled twice.
Book the drop for Friday and the collection for Monday if you can. That gives two full days of loading and nobody working against the clock.
What goes in the container
- Furniture and mattresses
- Garage and shed contents
- Attic and basement clearances
- Yard waste and old fencing
- General household junk
There is a short prohibited list and it is worth reading before you load rather than after. Paint, solvents, motor oil, fuel, chemicals, batteries, tires, asbestos and anything flammable are all excluded under federal and state rules. The EPA guidance on household hazardous waste sets out which materials count.
Choosing a size
Sizes run 15, 20 and 30. The 15 yard is 16ft by 7.5ft by 48in, 1 ton. The 20 yard is the same length at 6ft high, 2 ton. The 30 yard is 20ft by 7.5ft by 6ft, 3 ton, and it is built for construction work.
Weight is the part people misjudge. Furniture and cardboard use up room. Concrete, tile, shingles and dirt use up the allowance, and every ton over it is charged separately.
Getting to us from Hickory Hills K-8 School
The yard is at 2211 W Division St on the north-west side of the city, 7.1 miles from Hickory Hills K-8 School and about 15 minutes in normal traffic. Head out on East Division Street.
You will not need the directions to rent one. Delivery and collection both happen at the property. They are here because people ask how far away the yard actually is, and the answer is not far.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it come Friday and go Monday?
That is the most common weekend booking. Say the dates when you call and the windows get planned around them.
What size for a weekend clear-out?
A 15 yard covers most. If the garage or a shed is going as well, the 20 is the safer pick.
Can two people fill it in two days?
Comfortably, for household material. Keep the heavy items for last so they go in at floor level.
What if we do not finish?
Tell us and the period extends. A weekend rental is a starting point, not a deadline.
