Dumpster rental
in Elkhorn.

For a City of Elkhorn cleanout or remodel, plan on a private roll-off and on clearing the City's large-waste-receptacle permit (§ 12.16) before it arrives, because the ordinance appears to cover containers on private lots, not just the street. Redleg suits smaller jobs where a published price matters; WM suits larger or longer projects where you are willing to work from a quote.

The first decision in Elkhorn

Start with an eligible hauler.

Redleg Dumpsters is the only one with prices on its site: $360 for a 10-yard with 1 ton and $400 for a 15-yard with 1.5 tons, plus $15 per extra day, but it stops at 15 yards and does not publish an overage rate. WM offers 20- and 30-yard (and possibly 40-yard) roll-offs for bigger jobs but publishes no price, included weight or rental period, so you must compare its written quote against Redleg's flat starting prices.

Your local checklist

Confirm your property is inside City of Elkhorn limits rather than a surrounding town that shares the 53121 mailing address, since only City properties fall under § 12.16.
Get the City's large-waste-receptacle permit before delivery ($75 for up to 30 days; a 30-day extension costs $150) and confirm whether your rental company or you will file it.
Keep paint, tires, TVs, appliances and batteries out of the roll-off and save them for Walworth County's Clean Sweep at W4097 County Road NN.

WM (Waste Management)

Published sizes: 15-, 20- and 30-yard roll-offs in the page's size table; the page's FAQ instead lists 20-, 30- and 40-yard sizes and gives a different 20-yard dimension, so confirm sizes when you call.
Rental & weight terms: Rental days, included weight, overage per ton and extra-day charges are not published; the page says only that daily, weekly and monthly rentals are available. Request a written quote.
Price basis: Not published; request a written quote.

National company; the Elkhorn page gives phone 855-472-2656 and no local street address. The page says city or county permit costs are usually not included in the rental price and that some materials carry extra fees; batteries, asbestos and flammable liquids are not allowed.

Small Walworth County-area company whose home page names Elkhorn among the towns it serves; contact address 917 Whitewater Ave., Fort Atkinson, phone 262-441-2877. Its FAQ says driveway placement on private property needs no permit and that it can help with a municipal street permit, adding the fee to the rental; check that against Elkhorn's own § 12.16 permit. Not accepted: hazardous materials, asbestos, wet paint, motor oil, tires, TVs and monitors, car batteries, refrigerators and medical waste.

Every roll-off needs a City large-waste-receptacle permit: $75 for 30 days

City Code § 12.16 says no one may place a 'large waste receptacle' — any outdoor container over 96 gallons for household, construction, demolition or landscaping waste — in a street, alley, sidewalk or other public way, or on private property, without a City permit. The property owner and the company leasing, emptying or hauling the container are jointly responsible for a separate application for each container. A permit lasts up to 30 days and costs $75; the Building Inspector may grant a written 30-day extension for good cause for $150. Haulers working in the City must also hold an annual City hauler license under § 11.06(15). Ask your rental company whether it files the permit, and confirm it before delivery.

Questions about renting in Elkhorn.

Do I need a City permit if the dumpster sits on my own driveway in Elkhorn?

Yes. City Code § 12.16 requires a City permit for any waste container larger than 96 gallons, whether it sits on a street or on your own property. The permit costs $75 and lasts up to 30 days, with one 30-day extension available for $150. The owner and the hauling company are jointly responsible for applying, so Redleg's general statement that driveway placement needs no permit does not apply in Elkhorn.
