Alex is wonderful. We rented on a Monday and he let us keep it for a few extra days. This is the place to rent a trailer from. Alex is very nice and definitely a great person. A family man too. He is a very trustworthy and honest person I can . Thank you so much please rent from him!!☺️☺️☺️

Big Box provided a perfect size dumpster for our house and garage cleaning needs. The cost was competitive for the size and two week length of time helped us not have to rush to fill it. They drop off and pick up seamlessly. John Callan Naperville, IL

Roofing Projects

A typical Aurora roof tear-off generates 3–5 tons of shingles and underlayment. A 20–30 yard dumpster handles most single-layer residential roofs, but go with a 30 if you have a multi-layer strip or architectural shingles. Ask your hauler about weight limits — asphalt shingles are heavy and overweight fees in Illinoiscan add $75–$150 per extra ton.

Kitchen Remodels

Kitchen gut-outs produce cabinets, countertops, flooring, and drywall — bulky but relatively light. A 10–15 yard dumpster is usually enough for a standard kitchen demo in Aurora. If you're removing tile flooring or concrete countertops, size up to a 20 yard to stay under the weight cap.

Estate Cleanouts

Clearing an entire home in Auroratypically requires a 20–30 yard dumpster. Furniture, mattresses, clothing, and household items fill space fast. Plan for 2–3 loads if the property has a garage, attic, and basement. Schedule a 7–14 day rental so you can sort donations from trash without rushing.

Garage Cleanouts

Most Auroragarage cleanouts fit comfortably in a 10–15 yard dumpster. That covers accumulated tools, storage bins, old furniture, and miscellaneous junk. If you're also tearing out shelving, drywall, or a workbench, bump up to a 20 yard to be safe.
