Permit rules in Indianapolis
No permit needed if the dumpster sits entirely on private property. If any part touches public space — street, parking lane, sidewalk, or alley — you need a Right-of-Way Use Permit (No Excavation), $55 standard fee, filed through the Accela Citizens Access portal (DBNS + DPW). Most clear in 5–7 business days; the downtown Regional Center takes longer. The permit must be activated by calling 317-327-5525 before work begins.

Frequently asked questions
How much does junk removal cost?
Most Indianapolis jobs land between $125 and $400. Pricing is by truckload volume: about $75–$125 for a eighth of a truck, $200–$400 for half, and $600–$800 for a full 13–17 cubic yard truckload. The average job runs around $242.
What's the difference between junk removal and dumpster rental?
Junk removal is full-service: the crew does the lifting, loading, and disposal. Dumpster rental is self-service: you load on your schedule over several days. Junk removal wins for single-day jobs; dumpsters win for multi-day projects.
Do junk haulers take mattresses and appliances?
Yes — mattresses typically run $75–$145, and most haulers take appliances. Items with refrigerants (fridges, AC units) may carry a small surcharge for certified refrigerant recovery.
How fast can I get junk removed?
Many Indianapolis haulers offer same-day or next-day service. Booking before noon gives you the best shot at same-day pickup.
