Roll-off dumpster rental in Brodhead
Approx. 21 road miles west of Janesville, around 33 minutes — Highway 11 west through Orfordville; the city's own report calls it 20 miles.
Brodhead is Highway 11 west from the yard, about 33 minutes through Orfordville — the city's own economic report says "the City of Janesville, located 20 miles to the east" — and usually next morning, often same afternoon when a truck is already heading out Highway 11. The city is mostly in Green County with a small portion in Rock County, and the Green County Landfill is physically inside it on County Highway SS.
The housing is old: 30.2% of units were built before 1940, against 18.5% for Wisconsin, and another 32.5% between 1960 and 1979, with a lower share built since 1980. That is gut renovations, roofs, garage teardowns and estate cleanouts.
Local knowledge
Getting our bearings in Brodhead
Knowing a city properly is the difference between covering it and showing up with the right box.
- The Sugar River — trailhead for the 23-mile Sugar River State Trail, the Pearl Island Walking Trail along the 1863 Mill Race, and the Clarence Covered Bridge replica.
- Housing age — 30.2% pre-1940 and 32.5% from 1960–79; the 2023 analysis says the city "may face both quality and quantity issues concerning its housing stock."
- Highway 11 bisects the city — Monroe 15 miles west, Janesville 20 east, Beloit about 22; 26.4% of people working in Brodhead live in Rock County.
- Newly renovated schools (2025) and a City Hall built in 1999; the city is "about 3,200 people."
- Pellitteri Waste Systems runs the carts on a north-and-south-of-the-tracks schedule; Public Works is at 1700 11th Street, 608-897-4384, City Hall at 1111 West 2nd Avenue, 608-897-4018.

What comes out of Brodhead properties
Pre-war kitchens, baths, roofs and basements in 15s and 20s, garage and outbuilding teardowns and estate cleanouts in 20s and 30s. Code §386-13 makes it unlawful to set out "construction debris" or "trees and stumps" for city collection, §386-24 sends residents with remodeling or repair construction material to the collection contractor, and the compost site at 1500 11th Street is "for residential use only." A razing permit (§203-11B) requires "all debris must be hauled away at the end of each week" — a swap schedule, not a pile in the yard.

Sizes
Choosing a container size in Brodhead
Weight is what usually decides the size, not how much room the pile takes up.

Permits, placement and who may haul in Brodhead
Right-of-way — permit required: §398-8 (amended November 2025) bars obstructing any street, alley, sidewalk or public land, with exceptions for building materials kept for a period the Council or its designee authorizes and for temporary encroachments under a §398-9 street privilege permit. §398-9 lets the Director of Public Works (608-897-4384) permit construction or demolition materials in the street — a bond of up to $10,000 filed with the Clerk-Treasurer, a fee of $10 plus actual City costs, no more than a third of the street, lit at night, the sidewalk kept open or a fenced 4-foot walk provided, nothing left overnight at a crossing or blocking a hydrant, and the permit lapsing after three months. §398-11 keeps the terrace as lawn with no objects on it. The driveway is easiest; if it has to go in the street we will help with the permit.
Who may haul: §386-17 says haulers collecting solid waste or recyclables must hold all required municipal and state approvals before collecting in the City, and §386-18 has them report to the City Clerk at least twice a year; no separate city hauler licence application or fee was found. §386-14 bars bringing refuse in from outside the city limits without an agreement, so each box stays tied to its job address.
Where it tips: the Green County Landfill at W2002 County Highway SS is a few minutes away — Monday to Friday 7 am to 3 pm, 608-897-8605, and the scale asks for the address the material came from. Brodhead is a non-contracted municipality there, so garbage is $77 a ton and construction waste $100 a ton with a $25 minimum. It will not take brick, cement, concrete or dirt, and mixed demolition-and-trash loads must be separated. Clean concrete and brick can go to the Janesville Clean Fill Facility instead at $8 a cubic yard.

How it works
Booking a dumpster in Brodhead
Booking a container here takes one phone call and about five minutes.
- 1
Call and tell us the job
One short conversation. We ask what you are clearing, where the container needs to sit, and how much room the driveway or lot gives us. No forms, no waiting on an email.
- 2
We size it and quote it flat
You get one number covering delivery, the 7-day rental, pickup, disposal and a stated tonnage allowance. If a smaller box does the job we will say so. If it is shingles or concrete, we say up front that it needs its own box.
- 3
Delivered where you want it
The driver walks the spot with you and sets the container square on the driveway, lot or job site, boards under the rails. Same-day in Janesville if you called before noon.
- 4
Load at your own pace
Keep it level with the top rail and keep the banned items out — tires, appliances, electronics, batteries, oil, yard waste in a mixed load. Need a swap mid-job or an early pickup? One call and we are on it.
- 5
We haul it and sort it right
Clean concrete, brick and brush go to the Clean Fill Facility, appliances and metal to the landfill's recycling areas, and the rest to the licensed landfill for that county. You get your driveway back the way you left it.

Local answers
Dumpster rental in Brodhead — common questions
Is Brodhead same-day or next-day?
Usually next morning — about 33 minutes out Highway 11 — and often the same afternoon, because trucks run that way to the Green County Landfill.
Can a dumpster sit in the street in Brodhead?
Under a $10-plus-costs street privilege permit from the Director of Public Works, with a bond, night lighting and a third of the street at most. The driveway needs no permit.
Does Brodhead restrict who can supply a roll-off?
Haulers must hold their municipal and state approvals and report to the City Clerk; we found no separate city licence. Tell us the job and we will say honestly where it stands.
Can concrete go in the container in Brodhead?
Not with anything else — the Green County Landfill refuses brick, cement, concrete and dirt and requires sorted loads. A clean-fill box goes to the Janesville Clean Fill yard at $8 a cubic yard instead.
