At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Franklin, Indiana, and the rest of Johnson County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. The older streets around the courthouse square and the college keep a steady flow of renovation work going, and new construction pushing south from the Indianapolis suburbs adds a second, heavier stream of debris.
Your price depends on the container size, the weight and mix of what goes in, how long you keep it, and the charges at the receiving site. Indiana also bars several common items from every landfill in the state, so it pays to know the list before you load.

| 20-Yard Dumpster | $499–$649 | 22' L × 7.5' W × 4.5' H | Whole-home cleanouts, multi-room renovations, flooring removal, roofing |
| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |

Pick the size first. Going one step up almost always costs less than filling a small container early and booking a second haul to finish the job.
Weight is the next thing to think about. Old plaster, brick chimneys, and concrete walks are heavy for the room they take, so a small container is often the right answer for a demolition load even when the project sounds big.
Where the load ends up shapes the rest. Franklin's curbside service is set up for household trash and will not take construction or demolition debris at all, so remodel waste goes to a transfer station or landfill with a charge by weight. That charge belongs to the site, not to us.
City rules can add a step as well. A container on private ground is straightforward, but one that takes up part of a travel lane needs the city engineer's sign-off first. Your account manager works through that with you before a date is set.

Estimate the volume the job will create, then sanity check the weight. We carry five sizes.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the small one and the right one for dense material. A chimney teardown, a sidewalk removal, or a single bathroom fits, and heavy debris tops out the weight allowance while the container still looks half empty.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a crowded garage, a basement clear-down, or a small roof. It is the sensible middle step when the 10 looks tight.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most Franklin homeowners land on. A full house cleanout or a remodel spanning several rooms fits, and it still parks on a normal driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for additions, gut jobs, and new builds, where framing offcuts, drywall, and packaging accumulate week after week.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and belongs on commercial work, warehouse clear-downs, and demolition with a lot of light, bulky debris.
If two sizes look close, talk the job through with your account manager and they will decide.
On private property, your own driveway or a job site you control, Franklin does not require a permit for the container. That covers most residential work in town.
The city's right-of-way permit is written around work that breaks the surface: pavement, curb and gutter, driveway entrances, sidewalks, landscaping, or grass. A container simply sitting there does not disturb any of that. What the same rule does catch is traffic. Work that calls for a detour or a lane closure has to be approved by the city engineer, whatever else is or is not permitted.
Street cut applications go through the Planning and Engineering Department at City Hall on East Monroe Street. For anything involving the roadway itself, the Street Department is the quickest first call.
Reach the Street Department at 2871 N Morton Street on 317-736-3660, weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. If you are not sure whether your drop spot counts as right of way, your account manager can get the answer for you.
Most building debris and household junk is fine. The limits come from Indiana's landfill rules and from the county's own facilities.
The state environment department publishes the list of what a landfill must not accept. It covers hazardous waste, untreated infectious waste, certain older electrical wastes, whole tires, lead-acid batteries and mercury switches, regulated asbestos material, and any appliance or vehicle air conditioner that still holds its refrigerant. Vegetative matter is restricted too, unless it comes from a home or is properly bagged.
Whole tires have their own rule. The state says landfills cannot accept them at all, and a retailer selling you new tires has to take the old ones back one for one.
The usual exclusions hold as well. Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of every container.
Anything you are unsure about is worth a quick word with 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.
Franklin has no city landfill, so a loaded container heads for a transfer station or a regional landfill where it is weighed and billed by the ton. The Johnson County Recycling District names the Franklin Transfer Station at 730 Industrial Drive, on the east side of U.S. 31 just south of the police station, as the local site that takes trash and large items for a fee. It runs Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon, and the district advises calling ahead on 317-736-4542 to check pricing and hours.
For the materials a container cannot take, the public option is the Johnson County Recycling Center at 2250 North Graham Road, Franklin, IN 46131. The district has run it since 1991, and county residents can drop off household hazardous waste there without an appointment, up to a trunk load per address each month. It is open Tuesday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., closed on Mondays and on county holidays. The number is 317-738-2546.
Two details catch people out. The center takes rechargeable, button, power tool, and lead-acid batteries but not ordinary alkaline ones, and it does not take televisions or computer monitors at all. Your account manager confirms where your container is going and what the disposal charge looks like before the truck is sent.
2250 North Graham Road, Franklin, IN 46131
The county recycling district's drop-off, open Tuesday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., closed Mondays and county holidays.
Most Franklin rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A few days of notice gives you room to clear the spot and settle anything the city needs, and early orders usually price better.
Five things that keep delivery straightforward:
Watch the local calendar too. The county recycling center is shut on Mondays and on county holidays, and the transfer station closes at noon on Saturday and stays closed Sunday, so a container topped off late in the week may wait until Monday for its run.

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 runs $399 to $499 and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, both on a standard five-day rental. The debris you load moves the total, because the receiving site bills by weight. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate before your container arrives.
A container usually wins. Hauling it yourself means a trip to the transfer station for every load, fuel each way, and a truck able to carry the weight. Once a job runs past two or three loads, one container at the site costs less and finishes faster.
Yes, comfortably. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves space for chairs, a mattress, and bagged clutter. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so you will fill the space long before you reach the weight limit.
Indiana keeps whole tires, lead-acid batteries, mercury switches, regulated asbestos material, and refrigerant-bearing appliances out of its landfills. Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, and fuel are never allowed either. Pull those items first and tell your account manager about them when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499. Cheapest to rent is not always cheapest overall, though. Brick, plaster, and concrete from an older Franklin house can push a small container past its weight allowance, so keeping heavy material in its own load often saves more than sizing down.
Three days normally costs what five days costs, since the price is set by the job rather than counted by the day. Weight is what moves the bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs before the container is delivered.
Most ordinary debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, plaster, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, doors, furniture, carpet, and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt go in too, and they are usually cheaper to handle as their own load. Check anything unusual with your account manager first.
