At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Hobart, Indiana, and the surrounding Lake County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Hobart's older housing stock near Lake George, a steady run of basement and kitchen projects in the neighborhoods off Ridge Road, and construction along the US 30 retail corridor keep roll-off containers moving for homeowners and contractors alike.
What you pay comes down to the container size, the debris you load, how long you keep it, and the disposal costs at the site that takes your load. Below you will find our price ranges, how Hobart treats a container on a street, what cannot ride along, and where the debris actually ends up.

A Hobart quote is built from a handful of pieces, and the container is only the first of them.
Size sets the base. Stepping up a size costs a bit more at the start, but it beats paying overage charges or booking a second haul because you guessed low.
What you load changes the math more than anything else. Plaster, tile, shingles, and concrete run heavy, so they belong in a small container that can carry the weight. Appliances, mattresses, and tires usually carry their own per-item charge, so flag them for your account manager while you book.
Distance to the gate matters here more than in most towns. Lake County has no municipal landfill of its own, so mixed loads travel out of the county, and construction debris goes to the county's own construction and demolition site down in Lowell. That extra driving shows up in the haul.
Local rules can add a step. Hobart does not issue a standalone container permit for street placement, and its street rules treat anything that blocks a street or sidewalk as an obstruction. The practical answer for almost every job is a driveway drop, which your account manager will help you plan.

Start with volume, then check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards, and the right one usually becomes obvious once you describe the pile.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest container and the one we send for heavy material. Concrete, brick, block, dirt, and tile reach the weight limit while the container still looks half full, so a small one is the smart choice. It also suits a single bathroom or a tight driveway.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles the mid-size jobs: a packed garage, a basement cleanout after water damage, old carpet and subfloor, or a small tear-off.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Hobart homeowners pick. A full house cleanout or a remodel that runs through several rooms fits without a second trip.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits additions, new builds, and partial demolition, where the debris is mixed and the volume climbs fast.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, built for commercial construction, large demolition, and industrial cleanouts that fill space quickly.
Caught between two sizes? Your account manager sizes containers for Lake County jobs every week and will steer you right.
On private property you are fine. A container in your own driveway or inside a job site needs no city permit, and the City of Hobart's refuse rules specifically allow you to store your own waste on your own property while you wait for it to be hauled away.
The street is a different story. Hobart's street and sidewalk rules make it unlawful to encumber or obstruct a city street or sidewalk with structures, vehicles, or material in a way that interferes with free and unrestricted use. The City publishes no separate container permit to get around that, and the one carve-out written into the rule covers a person using part of the street or sidewalk under a city building permit.
So if your job already holds a Hobart building permit, the street question runs through that permit. If it does not, plan on private property. The City of Hobart Building Department takes building permit applications and keeps the forms, and you can reach it at 219-942-1722.
Because there is no container permit, there is also no permit fee, no stated day limit, and no barricade or marking requirement to budget for. Your account manager can walk the placement with you and find the right office to call if your spot sits close to the pavement.
Most household and construction debris is welcome. The limits come from Indiana's disposal rules and from what each site is allowed to take.
Indiana requires waste to go to a facility the state has authorized for that type of waste, and open dumping and open burning are both illegal. Whole tires are the clearest ban: the Indiana Department of Environmental Management states that landfills cannot accept whole waste tires. A retailer that sells you new tires has to take the old ones back one for one, which is usually the easiest route.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, and fuel stay out of a standard container, and so does asbestos. Hobart keeps paint, electronics, and tires out of curbside collection for the same reason.
The City also never collects construction or remodeling debris, tree trunks and stumps, or grass clippings at the curb, whether a contractor or the homeowner made the mess. That is the gap a roll-off fills.
Not sure about something in the pile? Run it past 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.
Hobart's own refuse rules put remodel debris squarely on the property owner or the contractor. The City does not collect debris related to construction or remodeling, and its Building Department has to tell every licensed contractor and every building permit holder that the waste from their work is theirs to dispose of.
Construction and demolition loads from Hobart head for the Lake County C D Site at 18501 Clark St, Lowell, IN 46356, which is the only construction and demolition disposal site the state lists as permitted and operating in Lake County. You can find it on the Indiana Department of Environmental Management's list of authorized solid waste facilities. Mixed household loads take a different path, because Lake County has no municipal landfill inside its borders, so those loads move through a transfer station and on to a landfill in a neighboring county.
For the odds and ends a container is not the right answer for, the City of Hobart runs the City Dump Yard at 340 S. Shelby St., Hobart, IN 46342. It is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. It serves Hobart residents who hold a City Yard Disposal Permit, and waste brought in from outside the city is not accepted there.
Your account manager will confirm which gate your load is headed to and what the charge looks like before the truck is scheduled.
340 S. Shelby St., Hobart, IN 46342
City residents with a disposal permit; weekdays to 2:45 p.m., Saturday to 11:45 a.m.
Most Hobart rentals go on the calendar within one to two business days, with the truck arriving inside a 24 to 48 hour window. Giving us a few days of notice helps, since it leaves room to clear the drop spot and sort out placement, and early booking often costs less.
These five habits make delivery day simple:
Gate hours matter to your timeline too. The Hobart City Dump Yard closes at 2:45 p.m. on weekdays and at 11:45 a.m. on Saturday, and the disposal sites that take roll-off loads keep their own weekday schedules, so a container filled late on a Saturday may not move until the next week.

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 Hobart rental runs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day rental. What you load and how far the debris has to travel to a permitted site shape the rest. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For most jobs, renting wins. The Hobart City Dump Yard is residents only and needs a city permit, and the construction sites that take remodel debris sit well outside town, so self-hauling means several long round trips. One container handles the whole pile and leaves on a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch uses about a fifth of a 10-yard container, which leaves room for a mattress, a dresser, and a pile of boxes. With furniture and other bulky household items, you run out of space long before you approach the weight limit.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos all stay out. Whole tires are barred from Indiana landfills, so take them back to a tire retailer. Electronics also need their own route. Appliances and mattresses can ride along, but tell your account manager first, since they carry per-item charges.
The 10-yard container has the lowest starting price at $399 to $499. What goes in it still decides your bill. A small container loaded with concrete or tile can pass its weight allowance fast and add overage charges, so keeping dense material in a load of its own is usually the cheaper route.
Three days costs about the same as five, since we price a container by the job rather than by the day. Weight is what moves your final bill. Ask your account manager how much tonnage is included and what each extra ton costs, and you will know the number before delivery.
Nearly all home and construction debris is allowed in Hobart: lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, carpet, cardboard, and ordinary cleanout junk. Clean concrete, brick, and block are fine too, and they often cost less to dispose of when they travel alone. When an item has you unsure, ask before you load it.
