Get a Lebanon Quote Call (317) 527-4152Lebanon is Boone County's working center of gravity — the courthouse square, the older housing stock north and south of it, and now the LEAP corridor's construction wave rolling in along I-65. We run it all from fifteen minutes down the interstate.
Older homes are Lebanon's signature work: plaster-and-lath remodels that weigh double what drywall does (we quote tonnage accordingly, so you don't get surprised), roof tear-offs on steep old gables, and cleanouts of houses that have held three generations of stuff. The square's commercial renovations take box placement that respects alleys and neighboring storefronts — we walk those spots by phone before the truck rolls.
And as the LEAP-driven growth pushes new subdivisions and light-industrial sites around the edges of town, builder accounts here get the same same-day swap treatment as Whitestown. Lebanon addresses are squarely inside our next-day standard, and most mornings a truck is already pointed up SR-39.
Same corridor, same flat structure: 15-yarders typically $300–$400 all-in, 20s $350–$475, 30s $425–$575, heavy debris per material — each including delivery, pickup, 7-day window and honest tonnage. The sizes & prices page breaks down what fits in each.
The number you are quoted is the number you pay. There is no fuel surcharge added at pickup, no environmental fee that appears on the invoice, and no per-day rental clock ticking behind the flat price. The only way a Lebanon job costs more than the quote is if the load goes over the tonnage that was stated in writing, or if something on the prohibited list turns up in the can. Both of those are avoidable, and both get discussed on the phone before the truck is dispatched.
Choosing between sizes is usually a weight question rather than a volume question, and that is truer in Lebanon than almost anywhere else we serve. A 20-yard box will physically hold the debris from most kitchen or bathroom remodels with room to spare. Whether it holds that debris within its included tonnage depends entirely on what the debris is made of. Drywall, cabinetry, carpet and trim are light. Plaster, lath, ceramic tile, mortar bed, old cast-iron plumbing and the double-thick subfloors common in pre-war Lebanon houses are not. When we ask what era the house is from, we are not making conversation — we are sizing the box.
The 15-yard is the right call for a single-room scope: one bathroom down to the studs, a garage that has not been cleared since the last owner, a deck tear-out, or a small basement flood cleanup. It has the lowest profile of the three, which matters on the narrower driveways around the older streets near the square, and it is the easiest to place where a car still needs to get past.
The 20-yard is the workhorse and the one Lebanon books most. A full kitchen, a kitchen plus adjoining flooring, a whole-floor carpet-and-trim replacement, or a one-layer roof tear-off up to roughly thirty squares all land here. It is also the box we recommend when someone is honestly unsure of scope, because the step up from a 15 costs less than the swap fee and downtime of running out of room on a Saturday.
The 30-yard is for whole-house work: a full estate cleanout, a gut remodel, a major addition, or a builder's framing and finish debris on one of the new sections going in around town. It is tall, so it wants a straight approach and a driveway or staging pad with clearance overhead. On the LEAP-adjacent job sites we place these routinely and swap them on call.
Heavy-debris cans are their own category and should never be confused with the general-debris sizes. Concrete, brick, block, dirt, asphalt and shingle-only loads all go in a dedicated can that is quoted per material and filled to a fill line rather than to the rim. Trying to put a driveway tear-out into a 30-yard general box is how people end up with an overage bill several times the rental. If your Lebanon project involves any of those materials, say so at the quote and we will price the correct can.
Every residential drop in Lebanon goes down on boards. Steel rails on bare concrete can scuff or crack it, and older Lebanon driveways are often thinner and more brittle than the newer pours out in the county. Boards are not an upsell and they are not optional — the rails never touch your surface. If you have stamped, colored or decorative concrete, tell us during the quote and we will plan the drop together rather than discovering the problem from the cab.
Your own driveway or private property needs no permit anywhere in our service area, Lebanon included. The only case that requires town permission is placement in the public right-of-way — the street itself. That comes up rarely in residential work, because most driveways here are deep enough to take a box while leaving the garage and at least one car usable. When it does come up, we flag it during the quote instead of leaving you to receive a letter from the town.
Commercial work on and around the square is the exception that takes real planning. Alley access, shared loading zones, storefront neighbors who need their sidewalk, and delivery windows that cannot collide with business hours all shape where a can can sit and when it can be dropped. We walk those placements by phone before the truck rolls, and we would rather spend ten minutes on that call than an hour untangling a box in the wrong spot.
General-debris cans include 2–4 tons depending on size. Beyond that, the load is charged overage per ton — or, better, should have been a heavy-debris can from the start. Most overage bills in this business are not the customer's fault; they come from a quote that never asked what the debris was.
Lebanon's older housing stock makes this the single most important conversation to have up front. Plaster and lath from a single room can weigh as much as drywall from an entire floor. Ceramic tile set in a mortar bed weighs several times what modern thinset-over-backer weighs. A 1920s bathroom gut with a cast-iron tub, a mortar-bed floor and plaster walls is a genuinely heavy load coming out of a genuinely small room. None of that is a problem when it is priced correctly — it is only a problem when it is priced as if it were drywall.
Roof tear-offs follow the same logic in different units. Squares multiplied by layers decides the box: one layer up to roughly thirty squares fits a properly weighted 20-yard, at four to six tons of shingles. Bigger roofs, or the double and triple layers that turn up on old Lebanon gables, run two boxes or a mid-job swap. Whoever quotes your roof, ask what tonnage is included before you accept it.
Liquids, wet paint, tires, batteries, appliances containing refrigerant, and hazardous chemicals are all out — not as a Redbird policy but as a condition of every landfill and transfer station that accepts our loads. Boone County's Tox-Away days exist for exactly this material, and routing it there is both cheaper and legal. Concrete, brick, dirt and shingles are welcome, but only in dedicated heavy loads as described above.
Estate and downsizing cleanouts are where prohibited items most often surface, because nobody knew the garage still held half-cans of paint thinner and a stack of car batteries from 1994. It is not a crisis. Set that material aside as you go, tell us what you found, and we will tell you where it needs to go instead. What causes real trouble is discovering it at the scale house.
Next business day is the standard everywhere we serve, Lebanon included, and same-day usually works if the call lands early enough in the morning for a truck already heading up SR-39 to add a stop. The flat price includes a seven-day window, which is enough for most residential scopes and is extended on request rather than by surprise.
Builder and contractor accounts run differently: standing swaps, boxes staged before framing starts, and pickups triggered by a text rather than a fresh quote every time. As the sections around Lebanon fill in, that has become a larger share of what we do here, and the terms are the same ones Whitestown builders get.
Calls to (317) 527-4152 reach dispatch, not a call center and not a national broker that resells your job to whoever is cheapest that morning. That matters most on the days when something changes — the closing moves, the roof crew slips a day, the driveway is blocked. A local dispatcher can fix that in one call.
