At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Hammond, Indiana, and the surrounding Lake County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Hammond is a dense, older industrial city, so the work here runs from century-old two-flat rehabs in Hessville and the Robertsdale area to commercial construction along Indianapolis Boulevard and plant maintenance cleanouts near the state line.
Your price turns on the container size, the weight and type of material, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees where the load is taken. Below you'll find current price ranges, the city's placement and container rules, and what has to stay out of the load.

A few things move a Hammond quote, and one of them is specific to this city.
Size comes first. One step up costs less than a second haul or a weight charge, and on a narrow Hammond lot it also saves shuffling the container mid-job.
Weight follows. Roofing, plaster, brick, and broken concrete are dense enough to reach the limit while the container still looks half full, so heavy material is better off in a small container of its own.
Then there is the local rule most suppliers forget to mention. Hammond requires a top on any waste storage container that will hold the material and keep it out of the wind, and the code says the load may not rise above the structure of the container. In practice that means we plan a cover and you plan on loading level, not heaped. It also means the right size matters more here than in a city that tolerates an overfilled container.
Where the load goes is the last factor. Lake County has no publicly run landfill, so material leaves the county for a permitted facility and that haul sits in your quote. Your account manager will have the figure before you book.

Pick on volume, then confirm the weight works. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest and the best fit for an older Hammond lot with a short driveway or alley access. It is also the right call for concrete, brick, soil, and shingles, which hit the weight limit early.
The 15-Yard Dumpster takes a garage clearing, a bathroom and kitchen together, or flooring from a couple of rooms.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size we deliver most often here. It covers a full two-flat cleanout or a remodel across several rooms, and it fits most driveways without blocking the alley.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits additions, gut rehabs, and commercial fit-outs, where volume climbs faster than weight.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and it is built for demolition and industrial cleanouts.
If two sizes look close, describe the material to your account manager and they will pick the one that keeps you level and under the weight allowance.
On private property, a driveway, a yard, or a fenced job site, Hammond asks for no permit for the container itself. There is no city dumpster permit to apply for.
A street, alley, sidewalk, or parkway is a different story, and Hammond is stricter than most. City ordinances say nobody may place building material or any other material on a public street, sidewalk, or alley without a special permit, and a separate section makes it unlawful to encumber or obstruct any street, alley, sidewalk, public ground, or parkway with any material, substance, vehicle, or thing at all. In an alley-served neighborhood that distinction matters, so settle it before delivery.
The city publishes no fee and no application form for that special permit. Call the City of Hammond at 219-853-6300 and ask for Public Works, or reach the Sanitation Department directly at 219-853-6433, where the office is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you are not sure whether your drop spot is on your property or in the alley right of way, your account manager can help you find the right contact.
One more point worth raising early. The city's own clean-up containers, the ones a councilperson places for a neighborhood clean-up, are limited by ordinance to residents of that district, and use by a contractor or company is prohibited. They are not an option for a job.
Most construction and cleanout debris is fine in a roll-off. The firm limits come from the city's rules and from what the receiving facility will take.
Hammond publishes a plain list of what the city's own carts will not hold, and it is a useful guide to what needs a container instead: cement, wood, sand, dirt, sod, branches, roofing shingles, oil-based paint, gasoline, motor oil, brake fluid, pool chemicals, and yard waste. Those are container materials, not curbside materials, with the exception of the chemicals.
Hazardous waste, liquids, wet paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos never belong in a standard container. Asbestos needs a licensed abatement route arranged in advance of demolition.
Tires, electronics, appliances, and household chemicals go to the Lake County Solid Waste Management District's drop-off programs rather than into a load. The district runs those from April through October, and the city points residents there.
Yard waste is separated here as a matter of course. The city's sanitation page explains that it keeps yard waste out of landfill loads entirely, because the landfill will not accept it mixed with garbage. If any of that is in your pile, tell your account manager when you book.
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.
Start with the sentence the city puts on its own page: businesses and buildings with three or more apartments must arrange private container service, and the city does not own dumpsters. City pick-up is for household kitchen garbage in city carts, under 50 pounds a cart, and the ordinance excludes commercial, industrial, and larger multifamily properties outright. For a renovation or a cleanout, a roll-off is the route.
The Hammond Sanitation Department is at 601 Conkey Street, Hammond, IN 46324, reachable at 219-853-6433. The office is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and crews run from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. It handles city carts, yard waste bags, and questions, and an extra 90-gallon cart costs $65.00. It is not a place to bring a container load.
For the materials a container cannot take, the Lake County Solid Waste Management District Environmental Education Center at 8695 Broadway, Merrillville, IN 46410, runs the county programs. The office is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the number is 219-853-2420. Household hazardous waste, computers and televisions, tires, and appliances all have a route through the district.
Lake County itself runs no public landfill, so container loads travel to a permitted facility outside the county. Your account manager confirms the destination and the disposal cost before delivery.

Most Hammond orders are scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Older streets here are tight and many properties are served from an alley, so a day or two of notice is worth having.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
One note on covering. Because the ordinance requires a top that keeps material out of the wind, leave the cover or tarp accessible and usable where the container sits.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves Hammond and the nearby Lake County communities, from Hessville and Woodmar to Robertsdale, North Hammond, and the Calumet Avenue and Indianapolis Boulevard corridors. We also deliver in Whiting, Griffith, Dyer, Lansing just over the state line, and the south side of Gary, and we plan deliveries around alley access and resident parking rather than leaving you to sort it out.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container to the lot and the material, flag what needs separating, and confirm whether your spot needs the city's permission.
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.
Dumpster rentals in Hammond run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. Disposal is charged by weight, and because loads leave Lake County the haul adds to it. Your account manager confirms included tonnage and overage before delivery.
Renting wins for almost any job here. There is no public landfill in Lake County, so a self-haul means a commercial facility outside the county, repeated for every pickup load. The city will not take construction material at the curb at all, so one container is the practical answer.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser, and cartons. Just keep the load level with the top, since city rules do not allow material above the container structure.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, wet paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, and asbestos. Tires, appliances, electronics, and household chemicals go to the county drop-off programs instead. Tell your account manager what you have and the right handling gets arranged before delivery.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499, and on a tight Hammond lot it is often the only size that fits. For heavy debris it is also the smart pick, because dense material in a larger container runs past the weight allowance and adds charges.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as five days, because the price follows the job and the tonnage rather than the calendar. If the container has to sit in the street, a shorter stay reduces the time you need the city's permission. Ask your account manager for the figures.
Almost all construction and household debris: lumber, drywall, plaster, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, carpet, furniture, and general junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted too and are usually cheaper in a dedicated load. Check anything unusual with your account manager before it goes in.
