Indiana / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Elkhart.

For an Elkhart cleanout, pick by size and by what each hauler will put in writing. The franchise tops out at 20 yards with a typical 7-day rental. The Osceola yard posts tonnage allowances up to 48 yards. The local hauler states a 5-day rental and $75-a-ton overage. None publishes a price, so get every quote with tons, days and overage spelled out.

The first decision in Elkhart

Match the terms to your project.

Indiana Roll Off Services is the only one to publish included weight (2 to 6 tons by size) and offers the biggest boxes, up to 48 yards. Bin There Dump That publishes small-box dimensions and a 7-day typical rental but no tonnage. Kidder's gives the shortest stated rental (5 days) and the only published overage rate ($75 a ton), but no sizes. The prices are not comparable until each sends a written quote.

Your local checklist
  1. Before booking, see whether Borden's two free weekly large-item pickups under the City cart contract (homes and apartments of up to four units) could handle a few bulky items without a container.
  2. Ask each hauler for included tons, the per-ton overage and the daily rate after the rental period, since the published terms run from 5 to 7 days and only one company lists tonnage.
  3. Plan for driveway or on-lot placement; if the box must go on a City street or alley, call the Board of Public Works clerk at 229 S. Second St. first, because the Permit Center lists no dumpster permit.

Street placement: Board of Public Works permission under City Code § 97.040

City Code § 97.040 bars anyone from obstructing a public street, alley, sidewalk or crossing, but lets a person apply to the Board of Public Works and Safety for permission to place a temporary obstruction, on whatever terms and limits the Board sets. The Permit Center's list of permit applications has no separate dumpster form or published fee. The Board meets on the first and third Tuesdays at 9 a.m.; its clerk is at 229 S. Second St. (574-322-4480). Keep the container on your driveway or lot where you can, and ask the Board clerk before placing anything on a street, alley or sidewalk.

What matters locally

Two free large-item pickups a week with City cart service

The City's trash page says homes and apartments of four units or less get weekly curbside trash and recycling from its contractor, Borden Waste-Away, plus two free large-item pickups per week set at the curb by 6 a.m. on service day. Refrigerators, air conditioners and other Freon items need a special pickup scheduled by phone with Borden (574-293-5001). For a few bulky items, that may be cheaper than renting a container.

County landfill on CR 7 takes self-hauled loads by weight

The Elkhart County Landfill at 59530 County Road 7 charges Elkhart County and bordering-county residents $30 for loads up to 1,000 lbs and $60 a ton above that, plus a $25 fee for a pickup with a trailer. It is open weekdays 7:00–4:45 and Saturday mornings from April to mid-November. Passenger tires cost $4 each, and Freon appliances are refused unless you bring a refrigerant-reclamation form.

Monthly hazardous-waste drop-off on County Road 7

The county holds a household hazardous waste drop-off on the first Saturday of every month, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Elkhart County Correctional Facility (enter from County Road 7 near County Road 26). It takes paints, solvents, automotive fluids, pesticides and rechargeable batteries. Roll-off haulers bar these items, so keep them out of the container.

Questions about renting in Elkhart.

Does Elkhart's Borden Waste-Away trash service include a dumpster for a cleanout?

The City's trash page describes weekly curbside trash and recycling from Borden Waste-Away for homes and apartments of four units or less, plus two free large-item pickups per week and scheduled Freon-appliance pickups. It does not mention dumpsters or roll-off containers, so a cleanout container is a separate rental from a roll-off company.

What does it cost to haul debris to the Elkhart County Landfill yourself?

For Elkhart County and bordering-county residents, the landfill on County Road 7 charges $30 for loads up to 1,000 lbs and $60 a ton above that, plus $25 for a pickup with a trailer. Passenger tires are $4 each, Freon appliances need a reclamation form, and hazardous waste goes to the monthly first-Saturday drop-off instead.
