At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Indianapolis, Indiana, including the south side around Southport and Perry Township, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older houses getting new kitchens, steady rental turnover, and new construction along the I-65 and US 31 corridors keep containers busy for homeowners, landlords, and contractors.
Four things shape your price: the size you pick, the debris you're tossing, how long you keep the container, and the disposal fees at the site that takes the load. Here you'll find our price ranges, how the City handles containers in the street, and what Indiana landfills won't take.

Here's what moves the price of a dumpster in Indianapolis.
The container size sets the starting point. Choosing one big enough for the whole job keeps you from paying for a second trip.
Your debris type comes next. Shingles, plaster, and concrete get heavy fast. Appliances that hold Freon cost extra to dispose of, so it pays to mention them early.
The disposal site plays a big part too. Many south side loads go to South Side Landfill on Kentucky Avenue, which prices by volume instead of weight. Its rates page lists $25.50 per cubic yard for construction debris and drywall, plus a monthly fuel surcharge. It also charges mixed loads at the rate of the costliest material in them, so keeping clean fill separate can save money.
Street placement can add cost and time. A container on a City street, alley, or sidewalk needs a right-of-way permit, and the City also licenses companies that haul solid waste. Your account manager will confirm what your address needs before delivery.

Choose a size based on how much debris you'll have and what it weighs. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest. It handles a bathroom gut, a small deck, or a driveway's worth of broken concrete. Dense debris reaches the weight allowance before the container fills up, so this size is a smart pick for heavy loads.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is a step up for medium projects. It fits a basement or garage cleanout, carpet removal across a few rooms, or a small roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a favorite for Indianapolis homeowners doing a whole-house cleanout or a multi-room remodel. It holds a lot without taking over the driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits large renovations, additions, and new home builds. It's a good match when a job creates bulky debris from several trades.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size. Use it for commercial projects, tear-downs, and big cleanouts full of light, bulky material.
Not sure which fits? Walk your account manager through the job, and they'll recommend a size.
If the container sits on private property, such as your driveway or a job site lot, you usually won't need a permit in Indianapolis. A permit comes into play when any part of it sits in the public right-of-way.
City code makes it unlawful to block or use a street, alley, sidewalk, or other public place without a permit. For a dumpster, that means a Right-of-Way Use permit from the Department of Business and Neighborhood Services. The City's application lists container placement as one of the uses it covers.
According to that application, you don't need to be a licensed general contractor to apply for a use permit. Standard requests take five to seven business days, and downtown requests can take longer because extra approvals are needed. If the container will block parking meters, the City's parking program needs 48 hours' notice. You're also responsible for any cones or barricades.
You can find more on the City's right-of-way permits page. For questions, call the right-of-way permit office at 317-327-8583. Your account manager can help you figure out whether your spot needs a permit and who to contact.
Most household and construction debris is fine to load. The limits come from Indiana's landfill rules and from what the receiving site accepts.
Indiana landfills can't accept whole tires, so tires need to go somewhere else. The state also bans yard waste from landfills, including brush, branches, and stumps longer than 3 feet. If your project includes tree work, plan a separate route for that material.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. Refrigerators and other appliances with Freon carry a large per-item fee at the landfill, so tell us about them first.
If you're unsure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in the container.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Many dumpster loads from the south side of Indianapolis go to South Side Landfill at 2561 Kentucky Ave., Indianapolis, IN 46221. It's open Monday through Friday, 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday, 5 a.m. to 3 p.m. It's closed on Sundays.
The landfill takes general household waste and construction and demolition debris like lumber, shingles, and brick. Its home page lists current hours and holiday schedules.
Because this landfill prices by volume, a tightly packed container with no wasted space tends to be a better value. Other loads may go to different licensed sites depending on the material and the route. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain the fees before delivery.
2561 Kentucky Ave., Indianapolis, IN 46221
Open Monday to Friday, 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday, 5 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Most Indianapolis rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If you need a street permit, book at least a week ahead, since the City's review takes several business days. Early booking can also save you money.
A few tips for a smooth delivery:
The landfill schedule matters too. South Side Landfill closes on Sundays, so a container filled on Saturday afternoon may not be hauled until Monday.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves Indianapolis from the south side neighborhoods of Southport, Perry Township, University Heights, and Garfield Park to Fountain Square, Beech Grove, and the rest of Marion County, and we coordinate delivery, pickup, and disposal to fit your timeline.

Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
Dumpster rentals in Indianapolis start at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and go up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. Debris type and local disposal fees also affect your total. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For one small load, hauling it yourself might cost less. For a remodel or cleanout, a dumpster usually comes out ahead. Every landfill trip adds a fuel surcharge, gas, and time, and a pickup bed holds far less than a roll-off. One container often replaces a whole weekend of trips.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses about one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a mattress, a dresser, and several boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so space usually runs out before weight does.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your dumpster. Indiana landfills can't take whole tires, and the state bans yard waste like brush and stumps from landfills. Tell us about appliances with Freon before you load them.
The 10-yard dumpster costs the least to start, at $399 to $499. Your total still depends on what you load. Heavy debris like concrete or tile can push a small container over its limit, so keeping heavy material in its own load helps you avoid overage fees.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as a five-day rental, because we price per job instead of per day. How much your debris weighs has a bigger effect on the bill than the rental length. Ask your account manager about included tonnage before delivery.
Most home and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general cleanout junk. Brick and concrete can go in too, and clean loads of them often cost less to dispose of. If you're unsure about an item, check with your account manager before loading it.
