Dumpster Rental in Montgomery, IL
Montgomery sits across two counties and presses right up against Aurora, Oswego and unincorporated Kendall County. Which side of a street you are on can change who has authority over the container.
We have run containers into Lakewood Creek for full cleanouts, handled move-out loads in Blackberry Crossing, and worked Boulder Hill properties where the Village is not the authority at all. One of those jobs is written up here: a dumpster rental project in Montgomery and Boulder Hill.
MONTGOMERY SIZING
Dumpster Sizes for Montgomery Projects
Most of Montgomery's housing is newer, which usually means lighter, bulkier debris , drywall, carpet, composite decking. Boulder Hill skews older and heavier.
10 Yard Dumpster
One garage or one room. The usual pick for a Boulder Hill cleanout where the driveway is short and the material is dense.
15 Yard Dumpster
Deck tear-offs, roofing and bathroom remodels in Montgomery Crossings and the subdivisions off Orchard Road.
20 Yard Dumpster
The default. Full cleanouts and multi-room renovations in Lakewood Creek, Blackberry Crossing and Fairfield Way.
30 Yard Dumpster
Major remodels and contractor work along the Orchard Road, Route 30 and Route 31 corridor, where the container stays on site through several trades. Most of that is commercial and contractor work.
Weight, not volume
What 2 Tons Looks Like in a Montgomery Driveway
Every container includes up to 2 tons and bills $100 per ton above that. So the question that decides your bill is not how many cubic yards the box holds, it is how many cubic yards of your material fit inside 4,000 pounds.
| Material | Weight per cubic yard | Reaches 2 tons at | Container that suits it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Broken concrete, block | 3,700 to 4,000 lb | about 1 cubic yard | 10 yard, on its own |
| Soil, clay and sod | 2,200 to 2,700 lb | about 1.5 cubic yards | 10 yard, on its own |
| Brick and masonry | 3,000 to 3,300 lb | about 1.2 cubic yards | 10 yard, on its own |
| Asphalt shingle tear-off | about 250 lb per square, per layer | about 16 squares, single layer | 10 or 15 yard, roofing only |
| Plaster and lath, common in older Montgomery and Boulder Hill homes | 1,400 to 1,800 lb | about 2.5 cubic yards | 10 or 15 yard |
| Tile and mortar bed | 1,800 to 2,200 lb | about 2 cubic yards | 10 or 15 yard |
| Mixed remodel and cleanout debris | 400 to 600 lb | about 8 cubic yards | 20 yard |
| Framing lumber and sheathing | 300 to 400 lb | about 11 cubic yards | 20 or 30 yard |
| Furniture, carpet, boxes, general household | 200 to 300 lb | more than the container holds | 20 or 30 yard |
Planning figures for sizing a container before the job starts, not a quote. Wet material weighs more than the same material dry, and rain lands in an open box. The scale ticket at the transfer station is what governs the invoice, and we pass it through at $100 per ton. Describe the job on 630-294-1340 and we will size it against work we have run on your street.
Placement rules
Montgomery Permit Rules (What Actually Happens)
On your own driveway, no village permit is needed. That is how most Montgomery drops happen.
Beyond the driveway, the first question is which authority the address falls under.
Placing a container in the public right-of-way inside the Village requires a permit. Right-of-way permits are handled by Village of Montgomery Public Works, which maintains the streets, sidewalks and parkways.
Boulder Hill is the exception, and it catches people out. It is unincorporated, so street, sidewalk, tree and parkway questions go to the Oswego Township Highway Department at (630) 264-4587.
Unincorporated residents also arrange their own refuse hauling instead of receiving village service , Oswego Township, (630) 554-3211, keeps the provider list. For a one-time cleanout, a roll-off is normally the simpler route.
Disposal
Where Montgomery Debris Actually Goes
Montgomery straddles Kane and Kendall County, and neither has an active landfill , Kane County's Settler's Hill closed to waste in 2006. Debris from here moves through regional transfer stations to landfills outside the area.
Clean wood, metal and cardboard get separated where the volume justifies it. Concrete, brick, dirt and roofing tear-off are weighed on their own. That is the whole reason we ask what is going in before we pick a size.
What Cannot Go in the Dumpster, and Where It Goes in Montgomery
Montgomery straddles two counties, which matters more for waste than for anything else. The route that works whichever side of the line you are on is the Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 156 Fort Hill Drive in Naperville, which is free to every Illinois resident and needs no appointment, open Saturdays and Sundays 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. It takes oil-based paint, solvents, automotive fluids, pool chemicals, pesticides, batteries, fluorescent tubes and propane to 20 lb.
Latex paint is refused because it is not hazardous: harden it with cat litter, oil dry or sawdust, leave the lid off, and it goes in your normal trash. Business waste is refused too, so job-site chemicals need a licensed hazardous waste hauler.
| What you have | Where it goes | When | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oil-based paint, stain, solvents, strippers | Household Hazardous Waste Facility, 156 Fort Hill Drive, Naperville | Sat and Sun, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. | Free |
| Automotive fluids, motor oil, gasoline, antifreeze | Same facility | Sat and Sun, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. | Free |
| Pool chemicals, pesticides, fertilizer, drain openers | Same facility | Sat and Sun, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. | Free |
| Batteries, fluorescent tubes and CFLs, fire extinguishers | Same facility | Sat and Sun, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. | Free |
| Propane tanks up to 20 lb | Same facility | Sat and Sun, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. | Free |
| Asbestos, triple bagged, under 50 lb | Same facility | Sat and Sun, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. | Free |
| Electronics, books, cardboard, textiles | Kane County Recycling Center, 517 E. Fabyan Pkwy, Geneva | Mon to Fri, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. | Call 630-208-3841 to confirm eligibility |
| Latex paint, hardened first with cat litter or sawdust | Your own trash, lid off so the driver can see it is dry | Normal collection | Free |
| Business waste | Not accepted at the household facility | Hire a licensed hazardous waste contractor | Quoted |
Published figures as of September 2026. The Naperville facility is free to every Illinois resident and needs no appointment, which is why the Village points its own residents there. Confirm hours before driving over, and call 630-420-6095 weekdays with questions.
The county line is also why Boulder Hill behaves differently. It is unincorporated, so residents arrange their own hauling rather than receiving village service, and street, parkway and tree questions go to the Oswego Township Highway Department rather than the Village of Montgomery. Tell us the address when you book and we will tell you which rules apply to your drop.

FAQ
Questions Montgomery Customers Usually Ask
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Montgomery?
Not for your own driveway. For the public right-of-way inside the Village, yes , right-of-way permits go through Village of Montgomery Public Works. If the address is in Boulder Hill or another unincorporated pocket, the Village is not the authority; that is Oswego Township Highway Department at (630) 264-4587.
Is Boulder Hill part of Montgomery?
No. Boulder Hill is unincorporated, which is why residents there pick their own refuse hauler rather than getting village service , Oswego Township, (630) 554-3211, keeps the list. We deliver there routinely; it just changes who you would call about the street.
Does it matter that Montgomery is in two counties?
For a driveway drop, no. It can matter for permits and for anything that touches county right-of-way rather than village streets. Give us the address and we will tell you which side of the line you are on before the truck is scheduled.
Can you deliver on short notice?
Usually, for driveway placements with a clear spot. We are based in Aurora, so Montgomery and Boulder Hill are a short run. Right-of-way placements need the permit sorted first, so those need lead time.
What can't I put in the dumpster?
Liquid paint and solvents, automotive fluids and chemicals, tires, batteries, propane tanks, anything pressurized, and electronics, which Illinois bans from landfill disposal. In Montgomery the route for all of it is the household hazardous waste site at 156 Fort Hill Drive in Naperville, free to all Illinois residents, weekends 9 a.m. to 2 p.m..
Where do I take leftover paint in Montgomery?
Oil-based paint and stain go to the household hazardous waste site at 156 Fort Hill Drive in Naperville, free to all Illinois residents, weekends 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.. Latex paint is different: it is not hazardous, so harden it with cat litter, oil dry or sawdust, leave the lid off so the driver can see it is dry, and it goes out with your normal trash.
Can I throw away a TV or computer in Montgomery?
Not in the container. Illinois bans electronics from landfill disposal. They go to the Naperville Environmental Collection Campus on weekdays, or the Kane County Recycling Center at 517 E. Fabyan Pkwy in Geneva if your address is on the Kane County side, Mon to Fri 8 a.m. to 4 p.m..
What size do most Montgomery jobs use?
The 20 yard at $420, which holds roughly six pickup loads and covers a whole-room remodel or a garage and basement cleanout while still leaving driveway to park on. Go to a 10 yard for dense material like concrete, brick, dirt or a roof tear-off, which reach the weight allowance long before they fill the space.
How much does a dumpster cost in Montgomery?
A 10 yard is $320, a 15 yard is $360 and a 20 yard is $420, each including up to 2 tons, with additional weight at $100 per ton. Half rentals start at $165 and a 30 yard is quoted against the job. Flat rates, stated up front, delivery and pickup included.
What happens if I go over the weight limit?
Additional weight is billed at $100 per ton over the 2 tons included, off the scale ticket rather than as a flat penalty. The way to avoid it is separation: keep concrete, brick, dirt and tear-off shingles in their own container instead of mixing them into a general load.
Will a couch fit in a 10 yard dumpster?
Yes, easily. A standard three-seat sofa lies flat on the floor of a 10 yard with room left for the rest of a single-room cleanout. If you are clearing a whole house of furniture rather than one room, start at the 20 yard, since furniture eats volume quickly without adding much weight.
Can I put a mattress in the container?
Tell us before delivery. Mattresses and box springs are accepted at some facilities and surcharged at others, so we confirm the handling against your load rather than guess. The same applies to appliances holding refrigerant, which have to be dealt with separately.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to three days is comfortable most of the year. Spring cleanup tightens availability once the weather breaks, and after a hailstorm roofing crews across the Fox Valley reserve containers days out. When a truck and a container are free we do run same-day for driveway drops.
Can I get in trouble for what goes in the container?
Yes, in two ways worth knowing. Putting waste in a container you did not rent is theft of service. And once a container is on your driveway, what ends up in it is your responsibility, so a neighbor quietly adding tires or paint becomes your rejected load and your cost. If a container will sit over a weekend on a busy street, say so and we will talk through placement.
