At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Clarksville, Indiana, and the surrounding Clark County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Sitting on the Indiana bank of the Ohio River inside the Louisville market, Clarksville keeps a busy mix of retail construction along Veterans Parkway, apartment turnover near Eastern Boulevard and post-war ranch remodels in the older neighborhoods, and all three run on containers.
Your price is shaped by the yardage, the weight and make-up of the debris, the days the unit stays on site, and the gate charge where the load is taken. Below are the ranges we quote here, the Town rules that govern a container and its enclosure, and a straight list of what cannot be loaded.

Clarksville has one local rule that changes how a load should be built, so start there.
The Town requires that rocks, brick, dirt and ashes not be placed in a container that also holds other refuse. That is a separation rule aimed at the generator, and it maps neatly onto how disposal is billed anyway. A clean inert load weighs predictably and goes to a cheaper outlet; the same material scattered through a mixed load drives the whole container into overage.
Size then follows the volume. Right-sizing on the first call avoids both a second haul and a weight charge on a unit you only half filled.
Debris type does the rest. Shingles off a Clark County roof, plaster and lath from a 1950s remodel, and a garage full of furniture are three very different weights in the same twenty yards. Tell us which one you have.
Location adds the last variable. Clark County has one land disposal site, up at Borden, and a transfer station inside Clarksville itself on Sames Road. Which one your container is routed to depends on what is in it, and the difference in mileage shows up in your quote. Your account manager will tell you the destination before the truck leaves.

Choose for volume, then check the weight will not beat you to the limit. Prime Dumpster runs five sizes in the Clarksville area.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right pick for dense material. Concrete walkway, brick, dirt, tile and roofing from a small ranch all suit it, and keeping that material separate is what the Town's own rule expects.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for a single-room gut, a garage emptied over a weekend, or a small apartment turnover near Blackiston Mill Road.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the Clarksville workhorse. Multi-room renovations, flooring and trim removal, and whole-home cleanouts fit comfortably inside it.
The 30-Yard Dumpster takes additions, larger demolition and retail tenant work along the parkway, where volume rises faster than weight.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container, built for commercial demolition and industrial cleanouts that fill a truck rather than a driveway.
Not sure where your job lands? Walk your account manager through it and they will recommend the cheaper of the two sizes you are weighing.
On private property in Clarksville, a container needs no Town permit. Driveways, side yards, fenced job sites and private commercial lots are all fair game.
The public way is closed, and the Town says so plainly. For commercial, industrial, institutional, multi-family and shared single-family properties, no enclosure or container may be placed or kept on or in any public street, alley, sidewalk or public place in Clarksville. There is no published permit that would change that, so a street or alley placement should not be planned on at all. Containers are expected to sit on a hard surface on the premises, readily accessible, and toward the rear or side of the property.
Two further conditions apply to commercial sites and are worth knowing before you book. Containers larger than thirty-two gallons on those properties are expected to be screened in an approved enclosure, built to match the colors and materials of the main building. And servicing is barred between 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. unless the site sits more than three hundred feet in a straight line from the nearest residential property line, which narrows the pickup window on infill work.
Enforcement runs through the Building Commissioner's office. The Town also requires a permit, with Town Council approval first, before any material is dumped in Clarksville for the purpose of filling land, so fill projects are a separate conversation. The Town of Clarksville publishes its departments and contacts on its own website, and your account manager can find the right person for an enclosure or placement question before delivery day.
Lumber, drywall, plaster, lath, roofing, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, siding, furniture and ordinary household contents all load fine. The limits come from Indiana disposal law and from the Town's own container rules.
Indiana keeps whole tires out of its landfills, with narrow exceptions, and bars spent lead-acid batteries from disposal. Open dumping and open burning are illegal across the state, so burning debris on site in Clarksville is not an alternative to a container.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, asbestos, propane cylinders and medical sharps stay out of every container placed. Appliances holding refrigerant need separate handling, and mattresses and tires are usually billed per piece rather than by weight.
The local wrinkle is the separation rule. Rocks, brick, dirt and ashes are not supposed to share a container with other refuse in Clarksville, and anything going in should have free liquid drained from it first. In practice that means a second small container for the heavy inert material, which nearly always costs less than one mixed load.
Electronics, household hazardous waste and scrap metal have their own county route rather than a landfill. If an item is borderline, 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.
Clarksville is unusual in having a permitted facility inside the town limits. Bi Co Transfer Station sits at 1020 Sames Road, Clarksville, Indiana 47129, and is on the Indiana Department of Environmental Management's list of permitted solid waste facilities. A transfer station consolidates loads for the longer haul rather than burying them on site.
Clark County's land disposal site is Clark Floyd Landfill, at 14304 State Road 60 in Borden, up in the northern end of the county. Two other permitted facilities serve the area as well: Clark County Transfer and Recycling at 5321 County Road 403 in Charlestown, and Specific Waste Industries at 6213 Gheens Mill Road in Jeffersonville.
For household recycling rather than disposal, the county runs its own system, and it reaches this address directly: households inside the Clarksville, Jeffersonville and Sellersburg city limits pay a yearly recycling fee of $34.00 on the property tax statement whether they use the service or not. The Clark County Recycling District can be reached on 812-256-7942, and its drop-off sites are for residential recyclables only, so they are not an outlet for a construction load.
Gate hours and accepted materials differ at each of these sites. Your account manager confirms which one receives your container and what that means for your rate.
Most Clarksville orders go out within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days early gets you the better slot and usually the better number.
Five things that keep a Clarksville delivery on track:
One more scheduling note. Clarksville will not collect debris left by tree trimmers, building wreckers or any other contractor; that material is the contractor's own responsibility to remove. If a crew is working for you, the container needs to be on site before they start, not after they have left a pile behind.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery across the Town of Clarksville and the neighboring Clark and Floyd County communities, from the riverfront and the Ashland Park area through the commercial stretch along Veterans Parkway and out toward Blackiston Mill Road and the Sellersburg line. Because Clarksville sits in the Louisville market, we coordinate work on both sides of the Ohio River.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will set the yardage, sort out whether your heavy material needs its own container, and give you a firm price on the call.
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 10-yard container in Clarksville runs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both on a five-day rental. Debris weight and whether the load goes to the Borden landfill or the Sames Road transfer station move the final total. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage at booking.
For most Clark County projects, the container wins. Self-hauling means a gate charge on each trip plus fuel and your own hours, and the county's land disposal site is up at Borden rather than around the corner. Past two loads, one container covers the job for less.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which still leaves room for a bed frame, a dresser and cartons. On furniture jobs the volume runs out well before the included weight does, so the small unit is often enough.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, asbestos, propane cylinders and medical sharps out of a Clarksville container. Whole tires and lead-acid batteries are barred from Indiana landfills. The Town also expects rocks, brick, dirt and ashes to be kept apart from other refuse.
The 10-yard container is lowest at $399 to $499. Whether it is cheapest overall depends on your debris. Clarksville's separation rule means heavy inert material travels in its own load anyway, and that smaller container is usually the right home for it.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the rate is built around the haul and the tonnage rather than the calendar. What moves your invoice is weight. Confirm the included tons and the per-ton overage with your account manager before the container arrives.
Nearly all construction and household debris is allowed in Clarksville: lumber, drywall, plaster, roofing, flooring, cabinets, siding, fixtures, furniture, carpet and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick and asphalt are accepted too, and the Town expects them in their own container. Ask your account manager about anything unusual.
