At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Anderson, Indiana, and the rest of Madison County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older homes near downtown getting fresh updates, rental turnovers, and new construction on the city's north and south edges keep contractors and homeowners calling for containers.
Four things set your price: the dumpster size, what kind of debris goes in, how many days you keep it, and the disposal fees where the load is dropped. Below you'll see our price ranges, the City's dumpster permit rule, and what Indiana won't let you throw away.

A handful of local details decide what an Anderson rental really costs.
The container is the starting point. Each step up in size costs a bit more, but a dumpster that's too small can lead to a second trip, which costs more than choosing right the first time.
Weight comes next. Roofing, plaster, and concrete add tons quickly, while furniture and boxes mostly take up space. When you tell us what's going in, we can match the included weight to the job.
Then there's disposal. Loads from Anderson usually go through the permitted transfer station on West 66th Street, and the site's operator sets the disposal fees there.
Local rules round it out. Anderson's contracted curbside service won't haul remodeling debris or move-out trash, so a container is the usual answer for those jobs. Some items also cost extra to recycle on their own. Madison County's recycling center, for example, charges $20 for each appliance with freon and $2.00 per car tire.

Think about the volume of debris and how heavy it will be. Prime Dumpster offers five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is right for a bathroom tear-out, a small basement cleanout, or broken concrete from a patio. Heavy debris fills its weight limit before it fills the space, so small often makes sense.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a kitchen update, a garage full of old stuff, or carpet pulled from several rooms. It gives you extra room without a big price jump.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a favorite for Anderson estate cleanouts and remodels that touch more than one room. Most household projects fit inside it.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for additions, full renovations, and new home construction. It holds a lot of mixed lumber, drywall, and packaging.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is sized for commercial construction, large demolition, and factory or warehouse cleanouts that produce a big volume of lighter debris.
If you're between two sizes, your account manager can walk through the project and help you decide.
If the dumpster goes on private property, like your driveway or a job site lot, you usually won't need a City permit in Anderson. Things change if it sits on a street, an alley, or a sidewalk.
In those spots, the City of Anderson requires a Dumpster Permit. The Engineering Department handles it, and the form is posted on the City's permitting page. Engineering manages all work in the public right of way.
The City also says anyone working in the right of way must be bonded and insured, so have that paperwork ready. The fee and review time aren't listed online, so ask when you apply and allow a few days before delivery.
For questions, call the Engineering Department at 765-648-6118. Its office is on the ground floor of City Hall at 120 East 8th Street. If you can't tell whether your spot is private or public, your account manager can help you find the right contact.
You can load most household junk and building debris. What's left out comes from Indiana's disposal laws and from the rules at the site that takes your load.
Indiana has a strict rule on electronics. Since 2011, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management has barred households and small businesses from throwing away TVs, computer monitors, computers, laptops, tablets, printers, and fax machines. Take them to an electronics recycler instead.
Tires have a rule of their own. The state doesn't let landfills accept whole waste tires, so keep them out of the dumpster or tell us about them first.
The usual exclusions apply too. Don't load hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, car batteries, or asbestos. Appliances that hold freon, like refrigerators and window air conditioners, need special handling as well.
When you're unsure about something, ask your account manager before it goes in.
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.
Anderson's curbside service handles weekly trash, recycling, and heavy pick-up, but the City says remodeling debris and move-out trash aren't covered. Residents are told to arrange those loads on their own, which is where a dumpster comes in.
Most dumpster loads from Anderson go to the transfer station at 1128 West 66th Street, Anderson, IN 46013. It's the only transfer station in the city on the state's permitted facility list. From there, waste moves on to a landfill.
Yard waste has a separate home. The City's Yard and Garden Recycling Center at 2000 West Eighth Street takes brush, leaves, and grass on Wednesdays and Saturdays, from 8 to 11 a.m. and noon to 2 p.m. It won't take dirt or plastic bags.
Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and go over any disposal fees before delivery.
Most Anderson rentals can be set up within one to two business days, and the truck arrives in a 24 to 48 hour window. If the container is headed for a street or alley, give yourself extra time to get the permit.
These tips help the drop go smoothly:
If you're keeping brush out of the dumpster, plan around the Yard and Garden Recycling Center, which opens only on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves all of Anderson, from downtown and the West Side to the neighborhoods near Anderson University and Shadyside Lake, along with nearby Madison County towns such as Chesterfield, Lapel, Pendleton, and Alexandria.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll pick the right size, check whether the City permit applies, and give you a clear price before you say yes.
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.
An Anderson rental starts at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard dumpster and reaches $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on five days. The other sizes land between those two. Heavy debris and local disposal fees can change the total, and your account manager will confirm the weight allowance when you book.
For anything bigger than a small cleanout, a dumpster usually costs less. The City's curbside service won't take remodeling debris, so you'd be hauling it yourself, paying at the scale each trip, and spending time and gas. One container handles the whole job in one haul.
Yes. A regular couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard container, so there's space left for a mattress, chairs, and bags of household junk. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll fill the space well before you hit the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, car batteries, and asbestos. Indiana also bans throwing away TVs, computer monitors, computers, and printers, and landfills can't take whole tires. Mention appliances with freon when you book so they can be handled the right way.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. It stays the cheapest choice only if your load fits its weight allowance. Concrete, brick, or wet plaster can push it over and add an overage fee, so ask your account manager about splitting heavy debris into its own load.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as five days, since the price covers the job instead of each day. The bigger factor is how much your debris weighs. Ask your account manager what weight is included and what extra tons cost before the dumpster arrives.
Most cleanout and remodeling debris is fine in Anderson, including lumber, drywall, flooring, cabinets, roofing, furniture, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, and dirt are allowed as well, but they're heavy, so a separate load may cost less. If you're not sure about an item, ask your account manager first.
