Nobody paid to be on this list. We picked and ordered these businesses using the method below. Some local businesses pay to be the labeled expert behind one of our guides. If one of them is on this list, it gets an “Expert partner (paid)” badge, and it never moves up because of it.

How we picked
- We started with dumpster rental companies that show up on Google Maps for Indianapolis searches and serve the city.
- To make the list, a company had to be locally owned (no national haulers, franchises or booking brokers), rated 4.8 or higher on Google with at least 100 reviews, and rated A+ by the BBB or not listed there. We left off one company whose ownership and trucks we couldn’t confirm.
- We ordered them by Google rating adjusted for review count, so a 4.9 from 1,000 people counts for more than a 5.0 from 12. (We blend each rating with 100 reviews at 4.5 stars, so small samples don’t jump to the top.)
- We read about 30 Google reviews for each company and summarized the themes that came up more than once. One-off complaints aren’t counted as themes.
- Ratings and review counts were checked on November 13, 2026. They change daily, so click through for today’s numbers. We recheck this list every few months.
Before you rent a dumpster
- Ask what’s included in the price: how many days, how many tons, and what each extra day or ton costs.
- Ask what you can’t put in it. Tires, paint, batteries and appliances often cost extra or aren’t allowed.
- Ask for boards under the dumpster to protect your driveway.
- If it has to sit on the street, check with the city first. A dumpster in the public right-of-way can need a permit.
- Pick a size with a little room to spare. Overfilled dumpsters can’t be hauled until they’re leveled off.
Questions people ask
What size dumpster do I need?
A 10-yard dumpster usually fits a garage or basement cleanout, and 20 to 30 yards suits a roof tear-off or a bigger remodel. Tell the company what you’re throwing out, and they’ll help you choose.
Can I put a dumpster on my driveway?
Yes, most rentals go on driveways. Ask for boards under the dumpster, and keep it off soft grass if it might rain.
Why isn’t my favorite dumpster company on the list?
It may not have met one of our cutoffs (4.8+ on Google with 100+ reviews, A+ or no BBB rating, locally owned with its own trucks), or we may have missed it. Tell us about it using the link below, and we’ll look at it when we recheck the list.
