Newer subdivisions, basement finishes, roof replacements, and steady residential construction along the US 41 and 93rd Avenue corridors keep homeowners and builders here asking for containers.
The price of a St. John rental comes down to four things: the size you choose, the debris you load, the number of days you keep it, and the disposal fees where the load is dumped.

Several local details change what a St. John rental costs.
The container you pick sets the base price. Going one size too small often means an overage charge or a second haul, which costs more than the bigger container would have.
Weight comes next. Shingles, plaster, tile, and wet lumber pile up tons quickly, while couches and cardboard mostly take up space. If a St. John job includes a roof tear-off, plan the size around the shingles.
Distance to the landfill plays a bigger role in Lake County than in many places. The county has transfer stations and a construction and demolition site, but no landfill for regular trash on the state's permitted list. Household debris is dropped at a transfer station first and then trucked out of the county, and that second trip is part of the disposal fee.
The Town's own trash service is limited, too. Its hauler takes one large item per week at the curb, and the free resident dumpster opens only one Saturday a month and turns away construction debris. For a remodel or a full cleanout, a roll-off is usually the practical choice.

Pick your size based on how much debris the job will create and how heavy that debris is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards in St. John.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits a single bathroom, a small bedroom cleanout, or a load of brush from the yard. It's also the size to choose for concrete, brick, or plaster, since heavy material reaches the weight limit long before it fills the walls.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is a good middle step for a garage, a basement, a carpet and pad removal, or a small roof. It adds room without a big jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one St. John homeowners pick most for whole-house cleanouts and remodels that touch several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, large renovations, new home construction, and teardown work with mixed materials.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container. It's meant for commercial sites, large demolition, and cleanouts of big buildings.
Still deciding? Walk your account manager through the job, and they'll match the size to it.
A container on private property, such as your driveway or a building lot, generally doesn't need a permit in St. John. Things are less clear when the dumpster would sit on a Town street or in the grass strip between the sidewalk and the road.
The Town of St. John doesn't list a dumpster permit, a street use permit, or a fee for either. Its Building and Planning Department issues building permits for remodels, roofs, and additions through an online system, and those permits cover the work itself, not a container parked on the street.
So call before you plan a street placement. Building and Planning is at 10955 W. 93rd Avenue and answers at 219-365-5301, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Public Works, which looks after Town streets, is at 9350 Hack Street and can be reached at 219-365-4655.
Keep winter in mind as well. The Town's resident questions page says no one may park on residential streets once snow or sleet starts, so a driveway is the safer spot from late fall to spring. Your account manager can help you reach the right Town office before delivery.
Most remodeling and cleanout debris can go in your St. John container. The limits come from Indiana's disposal rules and from the facilities that take Lake County loads.
Tires are the first one. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management says landfills can't accept whole waste tires. St. John residents can bring up to four car tires a month to the county's drop-off at Dyer Public Works on Edmond Drive.
Electronics are the second. The same agency lists devices Indiana households may not throw away, including TVs, computer monitors, laptops, tablets, printers, and fax machines. The Town takes electronics at the Public Works building on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of a standard dumpster as well. The Lake County Solid Waste Management District runs household hazardous waste collections that take oil-based paint, solvents, and propane tanks from county residents. It turns away latex paint and asbestos, so ask about those separately.
If you aren't sure about an item, check with 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.
St. John's curbside trash goes out on Mondays through the Town's contracted hauler, but that service won't touch a roll-off load. Container debris follows its own path to a facility on the state's permitted solid waste list.
The closest is Illiana Transfer 1 at 1155 Birch Drive in Schererville, about 3 miles from town. Illiana Transfer 3 sits at 1025 E. Summit Street in Crown Point. Clean construction and demolition debris can go to the Lake County C D Site at 18501 Clark Street in Lowell.
Regular trash takes one more step. The nearest landfill on the state list is the Newton County Landfill at 2266 E. County Road 500 S in Brook, outside Lake County, and transfer station loads are trucked there.
What this means for you is simple. A container of clean concrete or lumber can often stay closer to home, while a mixed cleanout travels farther. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain the fees before delivery.
Most St. John dumpster rentals can be booked within one to two business days, with the container showing up in a 24 to 48 hour window. Calling a few days early gives you time to check with the Town about street placement and to clear the drop zone.
A few tips make delivery day easier:
Seasons matter here, too. Snow rules keep containers off residential streets in winter, so plan a driveway spot for cold-weather projects.

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.
A St. John dumpster rental runs 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. Debris weight and the disposal fees at the Lake County facility that takes your load also affect the total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
For most projects, a rental costs less. The Town's free resident dumpster opens only on the second Saturday of each month, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and it refuses construction debris and appliances. Hauling that material yourself means paying disposal fees at each trip, plus gas and your time.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container. That leaves plenty of space for a mattress, a dresser, and a pile of boxes from the basement. With furniture, the container fills up by volume long before the load gets too heavy.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your St. John dumpster. Indiana also bars whole tires from landfills and bans throwing away TVs, monitors, and computers. The county district takes tires and household chemicals, and the Town takes electronics at Public Works on weekdays.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. The final bill still depends on weight. A small container packed with shingles or tile can go over its limit and pick up overage fees. Splitting heavy debris into its own load is an easy way to save.
Three days usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. Dumpsters are priced by the job, and the weight you load moves the bill more than the number of days. Ask your account manager how many tons are included and what happens if you need extra days.
Most household and building debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, carpet, cabinets, roofing, siding, furniture, and general junk. Clean concrete and brick are accepted too, and keeping them in a separate load can open up a closer facility. Your account manager can confirm any item you're unsure about.
