Heavy Material Dumpster Rental in Richmond, IN

Concrete, dirt, shingles and plaster and lath are all accepted, and they go in the 12-yard with 1,000 pounds included and $50 a ton after that. It's worth knowing before the dumpster shows up rather than after.

What Counts as Heavy Material

Four things: concrete, dirt, shingles, and plaster and lath. Everything else goes at the flat rate, so if your load is mostly one of those four, this is the rental you want and the invoice will match the quote.

12 × 6 ft · 43-inch walls · 1,000 lbs included, then $50/ton · painted max fill line on every dumpster

Why It Is Always the 12-Yard

Dense material hits the trailer's legal weight limit long before it fills a tall dumpster. That's why heavy material never goes in the 16-yard. The 12's low walls are also what you want when every item is a two-handed lift.

Roofers, Concrete and Old Plaster

Roof tear-offs are the most common heavy load Jeff runs, and shingles are deceptively dense. A single-layer strip off an average house is serious weight before the felt and the nails are counted, and a second layer roughly doubles it. Tell Jeff the squares and how many layers when you call and he will tell you where you will land against the 1,000 pounds.

Concrete and dirt behave the same way and catch people out for the same reason: a dumpster that looks a quarter full can already be a full load. Jeff screens for this on every call, which is why he asks what the project is before he quotes anything.

Plaster and lath is the local one. A lot of houses around Richmond and Wayne County are old enough to have it, and it weighs like concrete. If you're opening up walls in an older house, say so up front and the quote will be right.

Heavy Material Dumpster Questions, Answered

What is the overage charge?

Fifty dollars a ton past the first 1,000 pounds, worked out from the scale ticket. Nothing is estimated.

Can I mix heavy material with household junk?

Call (765) 238-1393 and say what the mix is. It usually still counts as a heavy load, and Jeff would rather sort that out on the phone than at pickup.

Why can't I have the bigger dumpster for concrete?

Weight. Concrete reaches the safe load of the trailer long before it fills a taller dumpster, so the 16-yard would just let you build a load that can't leave your driveway.

Do you take asphalt, brick or block?

Call (765) 238-1393 and ask before you book. Jeff screens every load up front, which is why heavy jobs don't turn into surprises at pickup.

Do shingle layers matter for the price?

Yes, a lot. A second layer roughly doubles the weight of a tear-off, so tell Jeff the squares and the layers when you call and he'll tell you where you'll land against the included 1,000 lbs.

Is dirt billed the same as concrete?

Yes. All four heavy materials, concrete, dirt, shingles, and plaster and lath, run the same way: 12-yard only, 1,000 lbs included, then $50 a ton off the scale ticket.
