At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Highland, Indiana, and the Lake County towns beside it in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Highland is a built-out post-war town of modest lots and full basements, which means the work here is mostly basement and bathroom renovation, siding and roof replacement, and garage demolition, with construction debris that the Town's own system will not take at the curb.
Your price depends on the container size, how heavy the load is, how long you keep it, and the gate charge at the facility that receives the material. Highland also has one rule that decides where the container can go before anything else is discussed, and it is below along with our ranges, the material limits and our delivery timing.

Three things set a Highland price, and the first one is physical rather than financial.
Where the container can stand comes first, because the Town does not allow one in the street at all. On a 40-foot lot with a single-width drive that often means a smaller container than the volume alone would suggest, and it is the first thing we work out with you.
Weight is next, since disposal is billed by the ton. A Highland basement gives up plaster, old flooring, tile and sometimes concrete, all of which are heavy for the space they fill, so a half-full container of basement material can weigh more than a brimming one of cabinets.
Volume is third. Stepping up one size is cheaper than a second haul, and on a narrow drive a single well-chosen container beats two deliveries.
Rental length moves the number least. Our pricing is built around the haul and the tonnage, not the calendar, so a few extra days on site rarely changes much.

Bags of Trash: Approximately 50-70 large trash bags.

Work out where it can sit, then size it. Prime Dumpster carries 10 through 40 yards for Highland jobs.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right unit for dense material and for tight drives. Concrete from an old garage slab, brick, tile and dirt reach the weight limit well before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a bathroom gut, a porch rebuild or a basement cleanout, and it is often the largest unit that fits comfortably on a single-width Highland driveway.
The 20-Yard Dumpster takes a multi-room renovation or a whole-house cleanout, and it needs a wider drive or a corner lot to sit clear of the sidewalk.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for a full gut, a teardown or a commercial project on one of the Ridge Road or Indianapolis Boulevard properties.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest, meant for demolition and sustained construction where volume rather than weight is the limit.
Measure your drive and tell your account manager the width as well as the job, and they will pick a container that fits the ordinance as well as the debris.
Private property is the only option in Highland, and that makes the answer simple. On your own driveway or inside a job site you control, there is no Town container permit to pull.
What you cannot do is put it in the street. Highland's solid waste chapter names this kind of container directly and bars it: no person, firm, corporation or organization may place a roll-off container, a portable storage unit or a closed container on a public street or alley. There is no permit limb, no exception and nothing to apply for, and the Town's own penalty schedule counts each day the container stays there as a separate violation. The Town's only right-of-way permits cover sidewalk construction, road cuts and plantings in the parkway, so there is genuinely no route for a container.
That makes the drop spot the whole conversation on a Highland job. A single-width drive, a sidewalk to keep clear and a container that has to sit entirely on private ground need planning rather than improvising on delivery day.
If your job is on business premises there is a second piece of paperwork to know about, though it falls on the business rather than on us. Every Highland business, when it takes out or renews its Town business license, has to submit a plan describing how its solid waste will be managed, including the reduction, reuse and recycling steps it takes. A statement that there is no convenient way to recycle is accepted, but the question is asked.
Call Highland Town Hall at 219-838-1080 for placement questions. It is at 3333 Ridge Road and is open 8:30 in the morning to 4:30 in the afternoon, Monday to Friday. Enforcement of the solid waste chapter sits with the Director of Public Works, and the Board of Sanitary Commissioners is the body that decides who may collect in Highland at all. Your account manager will confirm the drop spot and find the right contact for you.
Most renovation debris is fine: lumber, drywall, plaster, roofing, flooring, siding, cabinets, fixtures, furniture and general cleanout material.
Hazardous and liquid material stays out in every case. Paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, pesticides and asbestos all need their own route, and so does anything holding refrigerant. Appliances with refrigerant gases are only handled once those gases have been properly evacuated.
Indiana adds a rule that catches landscaping work. Vegetative material may not go to a solid waste landfill except for grass, and for woody material under three feet long that is bagged, bundled or otherwise contained. Sod, dirt, rock and sand are not treated as yard waste at all, so a landscaping job usually needs its own container rather than a share of the renovation one.
Electronics, tires and car batteries are the items that most often spoil a load. The Lake County Solid Waste Management District runs household hazardous waste events, computer and television recycling, tire recycling and latex paint recycling for exactly these, so they have somewhere to go that is not your container.
Burning is not an alternative: the Town makes it an offense to openly burn or ignite refuse or garbage of any kind.
Ask your account manager about anything borderline before it goes in, because one rejected load costs more than handling the item separately.
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.
The one thing to know first is that the Town's own site cannot take your material. Highland's public works dump site is described in the Town's code as intended only for a small amount of household waste on an occasional basis. Commercial dumping by vendors or contractors is an offense, non-residents are barred, and the code is explicit that no resident may dump construction materials, that debris from a contracted job must be taken to a landfill at the resident's expense, and that residents remodeling their homes are considered contractors. Concrete is capped at two cubic yards there, and only single-axle trailers are allowed. So a renovation load does not go there, whoever hauls it.
Lake County's Solid Waste Management District is a public body but it operates no landfill and no transfer station. What it does run is household hazardous waste collection, computer and television recycling, certified compost for county households, tire recycling, appliance drop-off, leaf collection, latex paint events and an environmental education center. That is the right destination for the items a container cannot take, and the wrong one for the container itself.
A Highland construction load therefore goes to a privately operated landfill outside the Town, and the gate charge there sets the floor under your disposal cost. The Town also bars bringing waste in from elsewhere: nobody may dump garbage within Highland or the sanitary district unless the material originated inside them. Your account manager confirms the receiving facility and the rate before the container is delivered.
We can usually schedule a Highland, Indiana rental inside one to two business days, with delivery landing in a 24 to 48 hour window. Because the street is not available, settling the drop spot is what usually determines how fast we can come.
Five things that make a Highland delivery work:
If the only workable spot is partly on the sidewalk or the apron, tell your account manager early. Highland's street ban has no permit route, so the answer is a different container size or a different position rather than paperwork.

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 Highland, Indiana rental runs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, on five days. The weight of what you load and the receiving facility's per-ton charge move the final figure most. Your account manager locks in the included tonnage and the overage rate at the booking.
Renting wins on any Highland renovation. The Town's own site will not accept construction material at all, so self-hauling means repeat trips to a private landfill outside the town, paying at each gate. A single Highland container clears the job in one haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a bed frame, a dresser and boxes. Note that the Town's curbside service takes only one furniture or appliance item a week, which is why a container makes sense for a whole-house cleanout.
Paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, pesticides and asbestos stay out, along with anything still holding refrigerant. Electronics, tires and batteries have their own county routes. Indiana also keeps most vegetative material out of landfills, so a landscaping load usually needs its own container.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499, and on a narrow Highland drive it is often the only size that fits anyway. It is also the cheapest finish for concrete, brick or tile, because dense material in a bigger container simply runs past the included tonnage.
Three days normally costs the same as five, because the price is built around the haul and the weight rather than the number of days. On a Highland lot the bigger consideration is the container sitting on a shared drive, so tell your account manager your finish date and we will book the pickup around it.
Lumber, drywall, plaster, roofing, flooring, siding, cabinets, fixtures, furniture, carpet and general renovation debris are all fine. Clean concrete, brick and block are accepted too and usually cost less in their own load. Anything unusual, run it by your account manager before it reaches the container.
