Frequently Asked Questions

A flat rate quoted on the phone for the size you need, covering delivery, pickup, a 7-day rental and the included tonnage — 1 to 2 tons on a 10 yard, 2 to 3 on a 15, 3 to 4 on a 20, 4 to 5 on a 30, 5 to 6 on a 40. Going over is charged per ton at the landfill rate. Call for a firm number for your address.

Yes. Delivery, pickup, the rental period and disposal up to the included weight are all in the one flat price. No fuel surcharge, no pickup fee.

Three things: going over the included weight (per ton at the landfill rate — $46 a ton at the Janesville landfill in 2026), keeping the container past the rental window, and prohibited items found in the load. We explain all three on the first call so there is nothing to find later.

Not more per se — but dense material uses up the included tonnage fast, and the Janesville landfill refuses concrete and shingles in a mixed load, so we size heavy loads differently (a 10 yard loaded level, in its own box) and tell you where the weight line is before you load.

Major credit and debit cards. Payment is taken when the booking is confirmed to secure the delivery; repeat commercial clients can ask about ongoing service plans.

On your own driveway or private property in Janesville, we found no City rule requiring one. In a street, alley, sidewalk or terrace the City requires a Dumpster Permit through the Building Division at City Hall, 18 N Jackson St (608-755-3060) — two weeks maximum, barricade and flashing light, off the street in a snow emergency. The container owner applies, so we file it. Other towns differ — Beloit bars obstructions with no permit route, Stoughton names a dumpster as an obstruction needing a permit, Fort Atkinson has an online exemption form — so check your town page.

In Janesville, only under the City's Dumpster Permit: not in a traffic lane, flush to the curb and no more than 8 feet into the road, 60 feet back from any cross street, 15 feet from crosswalks, 10 feet from hydrants, 4 feet from driveway approaches, and removed during a snow emergency until plowing is done. Allow days, not hours. Tell us when you book and we line the delivery up with it.

Because they do. Beloit (ord. 17.50), Delavan (§8-3-7), Elkhorn (11.06(15)) and Monroe (§8-3-6) require a town hauler licence to collect or haul solid waste inside their limits — Elkhorn and Delavan with a Grade 2 class for construction and demolition work. Janesville itself has no hauler licence beyond its annual landfill permit. We quote the section on each page and tell you where your job stands.

Boards go under the rails as standard on paved drives. The driver will tell you before delivery if a surface needs more, and will steer you off soft gravel or lawn in the spring thaw.

The drop spot needs to be plowed before the truck arrives, and a Janesville street placement has to come off the street during a snow emergency — that is a condition of the City's permit. On a driveway, keep a path to the door clear and the container is fine through the winter.

A straight, level run of about 60 feet and 25 feet of overhead clearance. Low branches and power lines are the usual problem.

Janesville, Beloit, Milton, Edgerton, Evansville, Clinton, Orfordville and Footville in Rock County; Whitewater, Fort Atkinson, Delavan, Elkhorn and Lake Geneva to the east; Stoughton and Oregon to the north; Brodhead and Monroe to the west — each with its own page.

At 1741 Adel St, Janesville, WI 53546, on the south side of Janesville.

Only the timing and where the load tips. Lake Geneva, Monroe, Oregon and Elkhorn are 45 to 56 minutes from the yard and next-morning rather than same-day. Same flat pricing, possibly a small distance adjustment said up front.

Yes — Beloit, Delavan, Elkhorn and Monroe license haulers by ordinance. Each town page says what that town's code says, and we tell you where your job stands when you call.
