Dumpster Rental in Edwards, CO

Roll-off containers for Edwards homes and jobsites

Edwards is unincorporated Peoria County out in Kickapoo Township, the point where the metro thins out into timber, creek bottom and farm ground. There is no village government, just a post office, a scattering of substantial subdivisions and a great many properties sitting on two, five or twenty acres. That mix produces a particular kind of work. Large homes on big lots generate serious remodeling, roofing and landscaping projects, while the country places bring pole barn clear-outs, workshop cleanups, fence removal, old machinery and the general accumulation that a few decades on acreage always leaves behind in a corner of the property.

What we know about working in Edwards

Sommer Place, Wyndridge, Berkshire Estates and the Villas of Waterstone hold the established subdivision housing, mostly built between the 1980s and the 2000s with walkout basements, oversized garages and mature landscaping. Around them, older farmsteads and newer custom builds sit on acreage reached by long gravel drives. Kickapoo Creek cuts wooded ravines through the area, Sommer Park and Wildlife Prairie Park bring public land close by, and Jubilee College State Park lies a short run west. Properties out here typically run on septic systems and private wells. Dunlap and Limestone district boundaries split the area between them. Storm events, the 2020 derecho in particular, take down large timber here and leave months of cleanup, though brush itself has to go to composting under the state landscape waste ban.

Getting a truck to you

We come out of the yard onto I-474, join I-74 west and leave at the Edwards interchange, then work in on IL-8 or Dubois Road depending on the address. Subdivisions are straightforward. Acreage places usually mean a long private gravel drive with a tight turnaround at the end, so we ask about width, overhead limbs and where a truck can safely reverse.

Routes we run: IL-8, I-74 at exit 82, Dubois Road, Kickapoo Creek Road.

Permits, streets and placement in Edwards

On a private driveway in Edwards you generally do not need a municipal permit. Placement in the public street or right-of-way is a different matter and normally requires approval — from the borough or township where the road is locally maintained, or from Illinois DOT where it is a state route. Every municipality in Peoria County runs its own form and its own lead time, and older streets here often have no off-street parking at all, so plan the permit before you plan the delivery. It is a ten-minute call that saves a week.

Our permit and placement guide walks through the whole process, and Illinois EPA publishes the Covered Device Recycling Act rules and the other statewide disposal restrictions that apply to every load we haul out of Edwards. County recycling and household hazardous waste dates are published by Peoria County.
