At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Evansville, Indiana, and the rest of Vanderburgh County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Century-old houses in Jacobsville and Haynie's Corner coming back to life, riverfront and medical-campus construction downtown, and steady remodeling on the east side keep roll-off containers in regular use for homeowners and contractors.
Your price comes down to the container you pick, the weight of what goes in it, how long it stays on site, and what the receiving landfill charges to take the load. Below you'll find our price ranges, how Evansville handles a container in the street, and what Indiana keeps out of a landfill.

Three forces set an Evansville quote, and the container you choose is only the first.
Size comes first because it decides the base rate. The cheapest outcome is usually one correctly sized container rather than a small one you have to empty twice.
Weight is where surprises live. A load of shingles, plaster, or broken sidewalk is dense, and it can pass the tonnage included in your rate while the walls of the container are nowhere near full. Describe the material when you call and we'll build the quote around it.
Disposal is the third force. Evansville has no publicly owned landfill, so loads travel to a permitted municipal landfill on the northwest side, and that site charges by weight. Those charges flow straight through to your invoice, which is why tonnage matters more than the number of days you keep the container.
Local programs can trim what you have to pay to throw away. Vanderburgh County runs free collection days for household chemicals, electronics, and car tires, so pulling those items out of the load before pickup keeps your weight down and keeps the container clean.

Choose by how much debris you expect, then sanity-check it against how heavy that debris is. Prime Dumpster offers five sizes between 10 and 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right container for dense material. A torn-up driveway, a brick chimney, or one bathroom stripped to the studs will reach the weight limit well before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits the medium jobs: a packed garage, carpet and underlay from several rooms, or a single-layer roof on a smaller house.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most popular choice on the east side and in the older neighborhoods. It handles a full cleanout or a two-room remodel without taking up the entire drive.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is sized for additions, new builds, and gut renovations. Framing scrap, drywall, cabinets, and insulation can go in together.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest we carry. It suits commercial work, warehouse cleanouts, and demolition that creates a great deal of bulk without much weight.

Keep the container on private property, in a driveway or inside a job site, and Evansville generally asks nothing of you. The rules change the moment any part of it sits in a city street, alley, or sidewalk, because that is city right-of-way, and the city right-of-way often runs several feet behind the back of the sidewalk.
The city's own rule is that nobody may obstruct or partly obstruct a public way without permission or a permit from the Board of Public Works. Applications are reviewed by the City Engineer's Office in the Civic Center Complex at 1 NW Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, then taken to the Board, which meets every Thursday at 1:30 p.m. in Room 301.
The calendar is the part to plan around. An application has to reach the City Engineer's Office by 5 p.m. on Tuesday to be heard that Thursday, and an approved permit is not emailed out, so the applicant checks the city's online right-of-way dashboard for the decision. The city also issues a separate encroachment permit for an obstacle placed in the street right-of-way.
Good news on cost: the city states there is no fee for either permit, though a drawing showing the location, the work, and the materials has to come with the application. To ask about your block, call the City Engineer's Office at 812-436-4990 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Your account manager can also help you work out whether your spot is city right-of-way before anything is scheduled.
Everyday construction and household debris is fine. The limits come from Indiana law and from what the receiving landfill will accept at the scale.
Indiana will not let a landfill take whole waste tires. A generator has to route them to a tire retailer, a manufacturer, a retread shop, or a registered tire processor, and a disposal site can demand extra processing or refuse tire material entirely. Keep tires out of the container and tell us about them when you book.
Electronics have their own prohibition. Indiana households, schools, and small businesses cannot throw away televisions, monitors, computers, tablets, e-readers, printers, keyboards, DVD players, or digital photo frames. One TV buried in a full container can put the whole load at risk.
Yard waste is also barred from Indiana landfills, including leaves, brush, and woody material longer than three feet, and lead-acid batteries cannot go into a container bound for disposal.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos stay out of any standard dumpster. Vanderburgh County takes most of those at its collection days, though latex paint, appliances, and electronics are not accepted there.
Have something that fits none of those descriptions? Check with your account manager before it goes in.

*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Evansville is served by private disposal rather than a county-owned landfill. Containers pulled from local jobs go to a permitted municipal solid waste landfill at 2121 Wimberg Road on the northwest side, reached from North Saint Joseph Avenue. The gate runs Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the site keeps a free recycling drop-off area that takes cardboard, plastics, aluminum and bi-metal cans, and paper, but no glass and no trash.
The public body on the waste side is the Vanderburgh County Solid Waste Management District, in Room 327 of the Civic Center Complex at 1 NW Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, Evansville, IN 47708. It runs the county's Tox-Away Days, electronics collections, and tire recycling, and its office number is 812-436-7800. Those events are for residents only, so business loads have to be handled another way.
Worth knowing: the city's free heavy trash pickup is limited to Evansville residents who pay for trash on their water bill, and apartment complexes, commercial customers, and county addresses are all excluded. A roll-off container covers what the curb will not. Your account manager can confirm the destination for your load and the tonnage included in your rate before delivery.
Most Evansville rentals can be set up inside one to two business days, with the truck arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking further out helps when a street placement has to go before the Board, and early bookings often come in cheaper.
Five habits that make delivery painless:
Gate hours are worth a glance too. The landfill serving Evansville runs weekdays only and closes at 4 p.m., so a container filled on a Friday evening will usually move at the start of the next week.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster delivers throughout Evansville and the surrounding Vanderburgh County communities, from Jacobsville, Howell, and Haynie's Corner through Bellemeade and Lincolnshire on the east side, and out to Darmstadt, Newburgh, Chandler, and Boonville. Whether you're restoring an old four-square near downtown or finishing a new build past the Lloyd Expressway, we schedule delivery, pickup, and disposal to suit your crew.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, check what your address allows, and quote you a firm number 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.
Evansville rentals begin at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and run to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, on a five-day rental. Debris weight and the landfill's per-ton charge move the total from there. Your account manager confirms the tonnage included and the overage rate at booking.
Renting usually costs less once a job passes a load or two. The landfill serving Evansville weighs and charges every trip, closes at 4 p.m. on weekdays, and is a fair drive from most of the city. One container and one haul beats a string of trips in a borrowed truck.
It will. A standard three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a recliner, a bed frame, and several boxes. Household furniture fills volume rather than adding weight, so you run out of space first.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos. Indiana also bars whole tires, electronics such as televisions and computers, yard waste, and lead-acid batteries from landfill disposal. Mention any of these when you call and we'll point you to the right program.
The 10-yard container carries our lowest starting price, $399 to $499. Cheapest on paper is not always cheapest in practice, though. Fill it with concrete or tile and the weight allowance goes quickly, adding overage. Keeping heavy rubble in a load of its own is usually the better deal.
A three-day rental normally costs the same as five days, since the rate pays for delivery, haul-away, and disposal rather than the calendar. Finished weight drives the invoice. Ask your account manager how much tonnage your rate includes and what each extra ton costs before the container lands.
Almost all of an Evansville remodel is allowed: lumber, drywall, shingles, siding, flooring, cabinets, doors, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted too, and they often cost less when kept in a load of their own. Ask your account manager about anything borderline.
