At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Munster, Indiana, and the nearby north Lake County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Since the August 11 tornado and windstorm, repair work has been nonstop here, with roofs, fences, garages, and flooded basements all being fixed, on top of the usual remodels and new construction.
What you'll pay depends on the size of the container, the kind of debris, how many days you keep it, and the disposal fees where the load ends up. Below, we cover price ranges, the Town's permit and contractor rules, Indiana's disposal rules, and how your debris is handled.

These are the main things that set the price of a dumpster in Munster.
Size comes first. Moving up to a larger container raises the base price, but running out of room halfway through a job costs more in the end.
Weight is the second piece. Wet drywall, soaked carpet, shingles, and plaster from storm repairs are heavy, and they use up the included tonnage quickly. Lighter loads like furniture and boxes take up more space for the same money.
Where your debris goes matters too. Lake County has transfer stations but no household trash landfill of its own, so most loads are dropped at a transfer station and then trucked to a landfill outside the county. That extra leg is part of the disposal cost.
Town services have limits as well. Since the storm, the Town's debris crews have been hauling tree debris from the curb, but they may leave behind piles mixed with household garbage or other items they can't take. Drywall, flooring, fencing, and roofing belong in a roll-off container.

Choose a size based on how much you're throwing away and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster offers containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom remodel, a small bedroom cleanout, or a pile of broken concrete from a patio or walkway. It's the right pick for heavy debris that fills the weight allowance before the container fills up.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, a basement tear-out after water damage, or a small roof. It's a practical step up without a big jump in cost.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Munster for storm repairs that touch several rooms, or for emptying out a whole house.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles major renovations, additions, and new homes, where lumber, drywall, and siding pile up quickly.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size, meant for commercial projects, big demolition work, and large property cleanups.
If you're stuck between two sizes, your account manager can help you pick based on the job.
A container that sits on private property, such as your driveway or a building lot, generally doesn't need a Town permit in Munster. Placing it in a street or other public right-of-way is different, and you should expect to need Town approval first.
The Town's permit applications page includes a Site Work & Right-of-Way Permit Application, which the Community Development Department handles. The Town also requires contractors working in Munster to hold a current Town contractor registration, and an unregistered contractor has to register before a permit is released.
Call Munster Community Development at 219-836-6990, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The office is at Town Hall, 1005 Ridge Road, and staff can tell you the fee and timing for a right-of-way placement.
If you're not sure where your property ends and the parkway begins, your account manager can help you find the right Town contact.
Most debris from a remodel, storm repair, or cleanout can go in your container. Indiana's disposal rules and the facility that receives your load set the limits.
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management says landfills cannot accept whole waste tires. The agency also bars households from throwing away TVs, computer monitors, computers, laptops, tablets, printers, and similar electronics. Keep those out of your dumpster and recycle them instead.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. The Lake County Solid Waste Management District collects household hazardous waste like oil-based paint, solvents, pesticides, and propane tanks at scheduled events for county residents. It doesn't take latex paint at those events, so ask about the district's separate latex paint options.
When you're unsure about an item, 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.
Munster's weekly trash pickup runs through a Town-contracted hauler. Construction and cleanout debris from a roll-off container follows a different path, to a permitted transfer station in Lake County and then on to a landfill outside the county.
Tires have their own spot inside Munster. Munster Public Works at 508 Fisher Street is one of the Lake County Solid Waste Management District's tire drop-off sites. It's open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and residents can bring up to four regular car tires per month. The site's phone number is 219-836-6971.
The receiving facility for your container depends on the material and the day it's hauled. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and walk you through the disposal fees before delivery.
508 Fisher Street, Munster, IN 46321
County tire drop-off; up to four car tires a month, Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Most dumpster rentals in Munster can be scheduled within one to two business days, with drop-off arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. With so much storm work underway, calling a few days ahead helps you lock in a date.
A few tips for a smooth delivery:
Keep the Town's schedule in mind too. Community Development keeps weekday hours, so street placement questions are best handled Monday through Friday.

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.
Munster dumpster rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. Heavy storm debris and the disposal fees at the receiving facility shape the final price. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage and overage rate.
For most projects, a dumpster costs less. Lake County has no household trash landfill, so hauling it yourself means driving to a transfer station, paying its fee, and doing that again for every load. One container lets you work at your own pace and send everything off in one haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about 20 percent of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's room left for a mattress, chairs, and bags of household items. Furniture is bulky but fairly light, so space usually runs out before you reach the weight allowance.
In Munster, keep whole tires, TVs, computers, monitors, and other electronics out of your dumpster, along with hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Tires can go to the drop-off at Munster Public Works, and electronics should be recycled.
The 10-yard dumpster is our lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. It works well for small cleanouts and dense material like concrete. Just remember that wet carpet, plaster, or shingles can push a small container past its weight allowance and add overage fees.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price each rental by the job, not the day, so what you load matters more than how long you keep it. Ask your account manager what weight is included before delivery.
Most storm, remodel, and cleanout debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, carpet, flooring, cabinets, roofing, fencing, furniture, and branches. Clean concrete and brick are fine too, though they're heavy. If an item isn't on this list, check with your account manager before you load it.
