At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Lawrence, Indiana, and the wider Marion County area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Older ranch homes near Fort Harrison, newer construction out toward Geist Reservoir, and a steady run of basement and garage cleanouts keep roll-off containers busy for homeowners and contractors here.
Your final price turns on four things: the size you pick, the type of debris you load, how long you keep the container, and what the landfill charges to take it. Keep reading for local price ranges, the street permit rule, and the materials that have to stay out of your container.

Four things move the number on your quote in Lawrence, and the first one is the easiest to get right.
Pick the size that matches the job. A larger container costs more at the start, but a container that fills up early means a second haul and a second bill.
Then think about weight. Shingles, plaster, tile, and broken concrete are dense, so they eat the included tonnage quickly. Tires and old appliances carry their own per-item charges, so tell us about them when you call.
The disposal side matters too. Almost everything hauled out of Lawrence lands at South Side Landfill on the southwest side of Indianapolis, and the facility sets its own charges by volume. Its published rate is $25.50 per cubic yard for construction and demolition debris, while clean concrete and soil with nothing mixed in drop to $13.00 per cubic yard. A load of mixed material gets billed at the rate for the toughest item in it, which is a good reason to keep heavy clean fill on its own.
Street access can add a step. If the container has to sit on a City street instead of your driveway, the City of Lawrence wants a right-of-way permit in hand first, and your account manager can walk you through the timing.

Match the container to the volume and the weight of what you are throwing out. We carry five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest container and the one we send for dense loads. Think a bathroom tear-out, a shed full of junk, or broken-up patio concrete that would blow past the limit in a bigger container.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits the middle of the road job: a two-car garage cleanout, carpet and padding from a few rooms, or a small roof tear-off on a ranch house.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Lawrence homeowners end up with. It swallows a full-house cleanout or a kitchen and bath remodel without crowding your driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster takes on whole-house renovations, new builds, and teardowns. Pick it when the debris is bulky and mixed rather than heavy and compact.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, built for commercial construction, big demolition work, and plant or warehouse cleanouts.
Still weighing two sizes against each other? Walk your account manager through the job and they will point you to the right one.
A container that sits entirely on private property, such as your own driveway or a fenced job site, does not need a permit from the City of Lawrence. The rule changes the moment any part of it reaches the street, the sidewalk, or the strip of grass between them.
For that, the City of Lawrence issues a street cut or right-of-way excavation and use permit through its Department of Public Works. Approval lasts sixty days, and the permit has to be activated by telling the department at least a day before work starts in the right-of-way.
The City also makes the permit holder responsible for safety around the spot. That means barricades, warning lights, or detour signs if the container could get in the way of traffic. The City can tell you to stop at any time, so it pays to place the container carefully from the start.
Separately, the City code says no container may block the free flow of people or vehicles on a sidewalk, right-of-way, or street, even for a short stretch. The Department of Public Works is at 9001 East 59th Street in Lawrence and takes calls at 317-545-8787 on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. If you are not sure where your property line stops, your account manager can point you to the right desk.
Everyday household junk and job site debris are fine. The limits come from Indiana state rules and from what the receiving landfill is allowed to bury.
Indiana treats whole tires as a separate waste stream. Landfills cannot take them except in a few narrow cases, and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management expects you to send them to a tire dealer, a retreader, or a registered tire handler instead. Open dumping and open burning of tires are both against the law statewide.
Hazardous material is out as well. That covers liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used motor oil, car batteries, pesticides, and asbestos. South Side Landfill is not allowed to accept liquids, hazardous waste, or infectious waste at all. Old paint only becomes acceptable once it is dried solid with cat litter or sawdust.
Appliances with refrigerant and loose tires can go to the landfill, but they are billed by the piece. Mention them when you book so the pricing stays clear and upfront. Anything you are unsure about, ask your account manager before it goes over the side.
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.
Most roll-off loads from Lawrence travel to South Side Landfill at 2561 Kentucky Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46221. It is the only permitted municipal solid waste landfill in Marion County, and it has been taking central Indiana's waste for more than fifty years. The gate is open Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m., and it is closed on Sunday.
The facility takes household junk, general debris, construction and demolition material, clean fill such as concrete and brick, brush and yard trimmings, tires, and appliances. Charges are figured by volume rather than by the ton, and a fuel surcharge is added to every transaction.
Because Lawrence sits on the northeast side and the landfill sits on the southwest side, haul distance is part of what you pay. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and what the facility charges for your material before the truck rolls.

We can usually have a container in Lawrence within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking earlier gives you room to sort out a street permit and clear the spot, and it often lands you a better price.
A few habits make delivery day go smoothly:
Watch the weekend, too. The landfill shuts on Sunday and closes early on Saturday afternoon, so a container packed late on Saturday will not be emptied until Monday.

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 in Lawrence runs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard container runs $699 to $899, both on a five-day rental. What you load and what the Marion County landfill charges for that material move the number as well. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Hauling it yourself only wins on very small jobs. The landfill charges by the load, so every pickup truck run costs money, fuel, and most of an afternoon. Once a project fills three or four truck beds, one container handles the whole thing in a single trip and usually costs less.
It will. A three-seat couch takes up somewhere around a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving plenty of space for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of moving cartons. With furniture, you run out of room long before you run out of weight allowance.
Keep out liquids, paint that is still wet, solvents, fuel, used motor oil, car batteries, pesticides, and asbestos. The Marion County landfill is barred from accepting any of them. Whole tires are restricted under Indiana rules and need a tire dealer or a registered handler instead of your container.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. The catch is weight. Fill it with concrete, tile, or wet plaster and you can pass the included tonnage while the container still looks half empty. Splitting dense material into its own load is usually the cheaper route.
Three days generally costs what five days costs, because we price the container by the job and not by the calendar. Weight drives your bill far more than the number of days does. Ask your account manager what tonnage comes with your size and what each extra ton runs.
Nearly all of it: lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, cardboard, and general cleanout junk. Clean concrete, brick, and soil are welcome too, and they cost less when you keep them in a load of their own. If one item has you second guessing, your account manager will check it for you.
