Homeowner Tips

Protect Your Driveway During Dumpster Rental

Essential tips for Chicago homeowners to prevent driveway damage

Driveway Protection Best Practices

Use Plywood Boards:

Place 3/4" plywood boards under dumpster feet to distribute weight evenly across concrete or asphalt surfaces. We can provide boards upon request.

Check Driveway Condition:

Inspect for existing cracks or weak spots. Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles can weaken concrete. Avoid placement on damaged areas.

Consider Weight Distribution:

Loaded dumpsters can weigh 8-12 tons. Newer driveways handle weight better than older concrete. Ask about lighter materials if concerned.

Alternative Placement Options:

Consider street placement (permit required), side yard, or asking neighbors about temporary driveway use. We help find solutions.

Winter Weather Considerations:

Chicago winters require extra caution. Ice and snow can hide driveway damage. Salt and de-icer residue should be cleaned before placement.

Need Plywood Boards?

We provide protective plywood boards for $25-50 depending on dumpster size. Just ask when ordering your Chicago dumpster rental.

HOA Compliance

HOA Guidelines for Chicago Homeowners

What you need to know about dumpster rentals in deed-restricted communities

HOA Approval Process

Check HOA Rules First:

Review your HOA covenants for dumpster placement rules. Many Chicago area HOAs require advance approval for temporary containers.

Submit Request Early:

File your request 1-2 weeks before delivery. Include project details, dumpster size, placement location, and rental duration.

Placement Restrictions:

Most HOAs require driveway placement only. Street or common area placement usually prohibited. Front yard placement often restricted.

Time Limits:

HOAs typically allow 7-14 days maximum. Plan your project timeline accordingly. Extensions may require additional approval.

Professional Appearance:

Keep dumpster area clean and organized. Avoid overfilling. Some HOAs require tarps or screening from street view.

Violation Consequences:

Unauthorized dumpster placement can result in fines, forced removal, or future project approval delays. Always get written approval.

Need Help with HOA Approval?

We can provide documentation for your HOA request including dumpster specifications, delivery details, and our insurance information. Call (866) 561-2833 for assistance.
