Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about dumpster rentals in Indianapolis
Why do you only offer one dumpster size?
Great question! Our 15-yard dumpsters are the perfect size for about 90% of residential and small commercial projects. They're large enough to handle major cleanouts, renovations, and construction debris, but small enough to fit in driveways and tight spaces without overwhelming your property. By focusing on one size, we can offer better pricing, faster service, and keep our fleet nimble enough to access neighborhoods and job sites that larger waste companies can't reach. If you're unsure whether a 15-yard dumpster will work for your project, give us a call at 888-718-3926. We'll talk through your project and let you know if it's a good fit.
How quickly can you deliver a dumpster?
We offer same-day or next-day delivery for most requests, depending on availability and your location. When you call us at 888-718-3926 or submit an online quote request, we'll confirm delivery timing right away. Our goal is to get you up and running as quickly as possible.
Do you provide containers for waste collection?
Absolutely. We supply sharps containers, red bags, pharmaceutical disposal units, and FDA-approved reusable sharps containers to keep your facility compliant.
How long can I keep the dumpster?
We offer flexible rental periods. Most customers keep the dumpster for 3-7 days, but you can keep it longer if needed. We charge competitive daily rates, and there are no surprise fees. When you're ready for pickup, just give us a call and we'll schedule it – usually within 24 hours.
How much does dumpster rental cost?
Pricing depends on your location, how long you need the dumpster, and what type of material you're disposing of. We believe in transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Call us at 888-718-3926 or request a free quote online, and we'll give you an exact price before you commit to anything.
What can I put in the dumpster?
Our dumpsters can handle most household junk, construction debris, furniture, appliances, yard waste, flooring, drywall, and general waste. We also offer recycling services for metal, cardboard, plastic, and e-waste.
Items we cannot accept:
Hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, oil, asbestos), Tires, Batteries, Propane tanks, Medical waste. If you're not sure whether we can take something, just ask! Call 888-718-3926 and we'll let you know.
Will the dumpster damage my driveway?
We take care to protect your property. Our team places the dumpster carefully, and we can use wood boards under the dumpster to distribute weight and protect your driveway if needed. Just let us know if you have concerns about a delicate surface.
Do you offer recycling services?
Yes! We offer dedicated recycling dumpsters for metal, plastic, cardboard, paper, wood, e-waste, and more. Recycling helps the environment and can also reduce disposal costs. Ask us about recycling options when you request your quote.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster?
If the dumpster will be placed on your private property (driveway, yard), you typically don't need a permit. If you need to place the dumpster on a public street or right-of-way, you may need a permit from your local city or town. We can guide you through the process – just ask when you call.
Do you serve my area?
We serve Indianapolis and surrounding communities, including Carmel, Fishers, Greenwood, Avon, Plainfield, Brownsburg, Zionsville, Westfield, and Noblesville. If you're just outside our service area, give us a call at 888-718-3926. We'll do our best to accommodate you.
What makes Dirty Dog Dumpster different from other waste companies?

When you call us, you talk to us – not a call center. We offer transparent pricing, fast service, and we treat your property like our own.
Can I schedule a pickup before my rental period ends?
Absolutely! If you finish your project early, just give us a call at 888-718-3926 and we'll schedule a pickup – usually within 24 hours. We're flexible and work around your timeline.
