Yard Waste Dumpster Rental in Peoria, IL

Yard waste dumpster rental is for the clean-ups that are too big for the curb: a storm that brought trees down, a lot being cleared for a build in Dunlap, an overgrown property, hedges and stumps coming out, or a landscaping tear-out with old sod, gravel and timbers. We deliver a 10, 15 or 20-yard container, you fill it, and we haul it.

Illinois has kept landscape waste out of landfills since 1990, so a green-waste-only container goes to a permitted composting site instead, which is why we ask you to keep brush and general debris in separate boxes where you can. Sod, soil and gravel are heavy and go in a 10-yard, loaded level with the rail.

What goes in a yard waste dumpster

Branches, brush, leaves, hedge trimmings, stumps, logs, sod, soil, gravel, mulch, old fencing, deck boards, landscape timbers and pavers. Keep green waste and general debris in separate containers where you can: a clean load of trimmings goes to a composting site, and a mixed load of leaves and drywall has to go to the transfer station as construction debris, where the landscape waste is not supposed to be. Keep hazardous items out: pesticides, pool chemicals and fuel go to a County household hazardous waste collection, not the container.

The curb and when a container makes sense

The City of Peoria collects yard waste at the curb from early April to mid-December, and that is enough for a normal weekend’s trimming. A container makes sense when the pile would take months to clear at the curb, when you have stumps, sod or soil the curb will not take, or when the job has to be done this week. East Peoria’s curbside takes no landscape waste at all, and Morton, Washington and the villages run their own seasons, so a container is often the only route across the river.

Storm clean-up

After a storm we prioritise the calls with trees down and roofs open. A 20-yard container swallows a large yard’s worth of limbs; call before noon and we can often deliver the same day across Peoria and the inner towns. If a tree has taken a fence or a shed with it, tell us and we will size the box for the mixed load.

Yard Waste Dumpster Rental FAQ
  • Can I mix yard waste with other junk?
    You can, but Illinois bars landscape waste from landfills, so a mixed load is treated as construction debris and a clean green load goes to a composting site. Tell us the rough split and we will sort the boxes and price it the best way.
  • Do stumps and logs go in?
    Yes. They are heavy, so tell us how many and we will pick the size and the allowance to suit.
  • Is there a cheaper option for a small pile?
    For a normal weekend’s trimming, the City of Peoria’s curbside yard-waste collection (April to December) is the cheapest route. A container is for the big jobs.
  • Can the container go on the lawn?
    Yes, though it will leave marks and the truck needs firm ground. Most people put it on the driveway and carry the brush to it.
