Dumpster Rental in Lockport, IL

Lockport, IL, and the I&M Canal

Part of our rich history in Lockport is the city’s strategic location on the Illinois and Michigan (I&M) Canal, which was operated out of Lockport. This history has propelled the Lockport economy and community to what it is today and was an important factor in the development of Chicago. The city is still growing, with a population that as under ten thousand in 1990 and has since risen to over twenty-five thousand with a low median age that makes it a great place to live and invest in a home or business. If you are improving your home or property, consider a dumpster to make the project go easily. Dumpster bins are cheaper than there were a decade ago and can be an effective tool for projects big and small. Have a look at our ten-cubic yard dumpster that started at the incredibly affordable price of $299.

Optimizing  A Dumpster Bin

When you rent a dumpster bin from Easy Dumpster Rental it is important to remember pitfalls that can cost money. Easy Dumpster Rental uses over a decade of experience and over one hundred thousand dumpsters rented and apply its experience to help its customers. One tip we often give our clients is to put recyclable items in a separate pile and recycle these items so that these items can be disposed of for free and save space in your bin for your waste. It is also a good way to make sure those items do not accidentally end up in a landfill. You can simply recycle through your usual curbside collection or, if you have a large amount, use the recycling drop-off location at 17112 Prime Boulevard in Lockport. In Will County, there are also recycling drop-off locations in the Channahon Township, Godley Park District, the New Lenox Township, Reed-Custer High School in Braidwood, Troy Township Highway Department in Shorewood, and the Washington Township.

Can Electronics Go Into a Dumpster Bin?

Electronics are, since 2012, considered hazardous waste and are not allowed in dumpster bins or regular garbage by Illinois law. Part of the reason for this law is the high quantity of electronic we produce with constant upgrades as well as the hazardous nature of some of the components found in electronics. When you have electronic waste, either when renting a dumpster any other time, then be sure to take your waste to the Lockport Public Works Department at 17112 S Prime Boulevard in Lockport. The facility is open on Tuesdays and Fridays for e-waste collection but requires evidence of residency in Lockport.

What do I do With Hazardous Waste?

You would be surprised at how much hazardous waste you have in your home or in your business. As you endeavor upon a project, it is not uncommon to find hazardous waste in a shed, garage, bathroom or kitchen, and elsewhere. The easy way to. handle hazardous waste is to put it aside and take it to the Household Hazardous Waste facility in Naperville, IL at 156 Fort Hill Drive, Naperville, IL 60540.

How Should I Dispose of Medical Waste?

It is important to remember that old medications are considered hazardous waste. These items cannot go into a dumpster, trash bins, or the sewer system (generally accessed through toilets). It is common during house cleaning or bathroom renovations to find quite a bit of old medications. Fortunately, the Lockport Police Department works with the Will County Land Use Departement through its collection center at the Lockport Police Department. Most medications are accepted including pills, salves, and liquid medications (in original containers), but NOT IV bags, medical waste, needles, syringes, or thermometers.
