How we got these numbers

Every price here was published by the company on its own website; we recorded each price exactly as posted, with the page address and the date we checked it (November 4, 2026). We don't estimate, average or invent prices for any company. Full details: methodology.

  • Companies are in the Chicago area when the nearest city or town to their Google listing is in the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN metro.
  • Each company counts once per item, at its lowest published price, so one company with many prices can't skew a median.
  • A "from" price is a starting price; a load price is for that share of the truck. Final prices depend on the job.
  • Dumpster-rental-only companies and listings we couldn't confirm are left out.
