At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Terre Haute, Indiana, and the rest of Vigo County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Rental turnover near Indiana State and Rose-Hulman, porch and roof work on the older brick homes between Wabash Avenue and Poplar Street, and warehouse construction along the I-70 corridor all keep containers working here.
Four things shape your quote: the container you pick, how heavy the load turns out to be, the days you keep it, and what the county landfill charges to take it. The sections below set out the ranges, the rule for putting a container in a street, and the materials Indiana keeps out of its landfills.

A Terre Haute quote is built from four pieces.
The container size is the first. Moving up one size adds a little to the rate and usually saves more than it costs, because a second delivery is the expensive outcome.
What you load is the second. Brick, plaster, ceramic tile, and rain-soaked lumber all weigh heavily for their volume, and a small container packed with them can pass its tonnage early.
The trip to the landfill is the third. Vigo County's permitted landfill sits south of the city, and the facility sets the disposal charge by weight. That cost rides along with the haul.
Where the container sits is the fourth. A driveway or a fenced lot is simple. A container in a public street or alley needs the street authority's approval first, and your account manager will sort out which approval that is for your address.

Pick by volume, then double-check the weight. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes in Vigo County, and most lots here have room for any of them.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our shortest container. It fits a single bathroom, a small shed removal, or a dense load of brick and concrete that would overload a larger container.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is the middle step for an emptied basement, a two-car garage, or carpet and padding from several rooms.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most Terre Haute homeowners order. A whole-house cleanout, a kitchen and bath remodel, or an average shingle job fits in one drop.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for bigger work: gut renovations, student rental turnovers, new construction, and small demolition jobs.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and the normal choice for warehouse cleanouts and commercial demolition along the interstate.
If two sizes look close, lay the job out for your account manager and we'll price the better one.
A container that stays on private property, such as your driveway or a fenced job site, does not need a street permit. The rule changes once any part of it rests in a public street, alley, or sidewalk, where the authority that maintains the pavement has to approve it before delivery.
Who that is depends on your address, because Terre Haute and Vigo County split the work. The Vigo County Area Planning Department handles land use for the county and for the city, holds the City of Terre Haute zoning code, and staffs the Terre Haute City Board of Zoning Appeals. It sits at 159 Oak Street and can be reached at 812-462-3354 on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
If your project also needs a construction or demolition permit, that is a separate step. The county Building Inspections Department at 151 Oak Street issues building, electrical, plumbing, and demolition permits for county addresses, and the Area Planning Department allows itself five business days to grant a permit.
You don't have to work out which counter your street belongs to. Let your account manager make the call. They will confirm whether your spot is private ground or public right-of-way, find the office that signs off on it, and schedule the delivery once the paperwork is clear.
Framing lumber, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general cleanout debris all load normally. The short refusal list comes from Indiana rules and from the receiving facility.
Indiana tells its landfills what they may not take. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management's landfill rules exclude hazardous waste, certain PCB waste, untreated infectious waste, whole tires, lead-acid batteries, mercury switches, mishandled asbestos material, and appliances that still hold refrigerant. Vegetative matter is limited unless it comes from a home or is bagged properly.
Tires are worth a second look. The same agency notes that landfills cannot take whole tires and that a disposal site may refuse tire material altogether. A tire shop has to take your old tires when you buy new ones.
Electronics have a free local route. The Vigo County Solid Waste Management District takes computers, monitors, printers, stereos, phones, microwaves, and anything else with a cord or a battery, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and the first Saturday of the month.
Paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, propane cylinders, and asbestos stay out of every container. Tires and refrigerant appliances are usually billed per piece, so tell your account manager about them 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.
Terre Haute has no city landfill. The permitted landfill for Vigo County is the Sycamore Ridge Landfill at 5621 East Cottom Drive, near Pimento and south of the city, which the Indiana Department of Environmental Management lists as the county's non-municipal solid waste landfill. A separate construction debris site operates on South Mill Street. Both are privately run and both charge by weight.
Material that cannot be buried goes to the county's own district. The Vigo County Solid Waste Management District runs three sites, and its full-service location is at 3230 East Haythorne Avenue, Terre Haute, IN 47805, open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with the gates closing at 3:30 p.m., plus the first Saturday morning of each month. Its other two sites, on South Sullivan Place and at 13th and Crawford, take single-stream recycling only.
Two things to know about the district. Its sites serve county residents rather than contractors, and its yard waste drop-off on South Sullivan Place runs Mondays and Thursdays from March through October, with appointments the rest of the year. Neither one accepts general trash.
Your account manager will confirm where your container load is going and what the disposal charge looks like before the truck is scheduled.
3230 East Haythorne Avenue, Terre Haute, IN 47805
Full service 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the gates closing at 3:30 p.m.
Most Terre Haute rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Give us longer if the container has to sit in a street, since a local approval can take several business days on its own.
Five things that keep delivery day easy:
Plan the far end too. The county recycling sites keep weekday hours and close their gates before 4 p.m., so an electronics or yard waste run needs its own slot in the schedule.

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 five-day rental. What you load and the disposal charge at the county landfill both shift the total. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
Renting usually wins on anything bigger than a trailer load. The county landfill is a drive south of the city, so self-hauling means fuel, a charge at the gate every trip, and several hours. One container holds what many pickup loads would, and the haul is ours.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a recliner, a mattress, and boxes. Furniture runs out of room long before it runs out of weight allowance, so the smallest container often covers a rental turnover.
Indiana bars hazardous waste, PCB waste, untreated infectious waste, whole tires, lead-acid batteries, mercury switches, and mishandled asbestos from landfills. Paint, solvents, fuel, and motor oil also stay out. Appliances still holding refrigerant need special handling, so declare them when you book.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499. Weight is what decides whether it stays the cheapest choice. Fill it with brick, tile, or wet soil and you can clear the included tonnage before it is full, which adds an overage charge to the invoice.
Three days normally costs what five days costs, because the price pays for delivery, pickup, and disposal rather than for calendar days. The weight of your load is the real variable. Ask your account manager what tonnage comes with the container before it arrives.
Nearly all household and job-site debris is allowed: lumber, drywall, trim, shingles, siding, flooring, doors, cabinets, furniture, and cardboard. Clean concrete, brick, and block are accepted too, and they often price better in their own load. Ask your account manager about anything unusual.
