Stansil & Sons Junk Removal has been serving Gary, Indiana and the surrounding Lake County communities since 2021. What started as a family-owned and operated business with a single truck and a commitment to showing up on time has grown into one of the area's go-to names for roll-off dumpster rental. We work with homeowners tackling weekend cleanouts, contractors running busy job sites, and commercial clients who need a dependable partner they can count on week after week.
We built this business for exactly this kind of job. Whether you need a small container for a garage cleanout or a full-size roll-off for a demolition project, we have the equipment, the experience, and the crew to make it happen. Our promise has stayed the same from day one: reliable service, honest pricing, and a dumpster that shows up when we say it will.

We've served this area long enough to know what works. Being based right here in Gary means we understand the neighborhoods, the permit considerations, the driveway layouts, and the pace of work that local projects demand. We are not managing your rental from a remote office. We know the streets, and we know the people on them.
The difference local makes shows up in on-time delivery and clean bins. When you call to schedule a drop-off, you reach someone who can answer your questions about placement, weight limits, and scheduling without putting you on hold or calling you back two days later. That kind of responsiveness matters when you are in the middle of a project and need things to move.
We serve all of Lake County, with same-day and next-day residential dumpster rental available throughout the region. Our delivery area covers Gary and extends to Hammond, East Chicago, Merrillville, Portage, Valparaiso, Chesterton, and the communities in between. Wherever your project is, we can get a container to you quickly and place it in a driveway-safe position that keeps your property protected.
We are a local name homeowners and contractors rely on, and we take that seriously every time we send a truck out.
From small residential cleanouts to large commercial jobs, we handle the full range of debris removal needs across Lake County. Our roll-off dumpsters come in multiple sizes to match your project, and our team can help you choose the right container before you commit to anything. We offer transparent flat-rate pricing and free quotes so you know exactly what you are paying before the dumpster hits your driveway.
Same-day and next-day delivery is available for most jobs in our service area. We understand that projects do not always follow a neat schedule, and we work hard to accommodate last-minute requests. Whether you are a homeowner who finally decided to tackle that basement or a contractor who needs a swap-out by morning, we are ready to move.
Our experienced crew that respects your property handles every drop-off and pickup with care. We take placement seriously, we communicate clearly, and we do not leave a mess behind when we haul the container away.
If you've never rented a dumpster before, the process is simpler than most people expect. Homeowners across Gary and Lake County use our containers for house cleanouts, garage and basement purges, attic cleanouts, estate cleanouts, foreclosure cleanouts, and moving-day hauls. We also handle furniture and appliance disposal when you have bulky items that will not fit in a standard trash bin. Tell us what you are working on, and we will point you to the right size. Simple as that.
Contractors, remodelers, and property managers rely on us for job site debris removal, roofing tear-offs, shingle disposal, concrete and heavy debris hauls, drywall removal, flooring tear-outs, and deck and fence demolition. We also handle shed removal and mixed construction debris from renovation projects of all sizes. For contractors running multiple jobs, we offer recurring and multi-job rental accounts that keep the paperwork simple and the containers showing up on schedule. Reach out and we'll get you squared away.
Landscapers and homeowners tackling outdoor projects can use our containers for dirt disposal, bulk green waste, tree limbs, brush, and general yard debris. Heavy materials like soil and concrete carry weight considerations that differ from lighter debris loads, so it is worth a quick call before you start filling a container with dense material. We will walk you through the weight limits and help you choose a size that fits the job without surprises. All it takes is a phone call.
Picking the right container size saves money and keeps your project moving without interruptions. Too small, and you are paying for a second haul. Too large, and you are paying for space you do not need. Our team is glad to help you figure out the right fit before you book. Here is a quick breakdown of what we carry.
The 10-yard is our smallest standard container and a solid choice for minor cleanouts, single-room purges, and small landscaping jobs. It holds the same as roughly 4 pickup truck loads, making it a practical option when you have a manageable amount of debris but more than curbside pickup can handle.
The 12-yard works well for mid-size cleanouts, bathroom remodels, and small flooring or drywall removal jobs. It holds the same as roughly 6 pickup truck loads and fits comfortably in most residential driveways without taking up the full width.
Step up to the 15-yard when you are clearing out a full garage, doing a kitchen renovation, or handling a moderate amount of construction debris. It holds the same as roughly 8 pickup truck loads and gives you room to work without worrying about overflow.
The 20-yard is one of our most popular sizes for mid-size renovation projects, roofing tear-offs, and estate cleanouts. It holds the same as roughly 9 pickup truck loads and handles a wide range of residential and light commercial jobs without needing a swap-out.
When the project is large, the 30-yard delivers the capacity to match. It holds the same as roughly 13 pickup truck loads, making it a strong choice for major home renovations, large-scale cleanouts, and contractor jobs that generate significant debris volume.
Our largest container, the 40-yard, is built for commercial demolition, large construction sites, and projects that generate a high volume of mixed debris. It holds the same as roughly 16 pickup truck loads and is the right call when you need maximum capacity without scheduling multiple hauls.
We charge flat-rate pricing on every rental, which means the number you get when you call is the number you pay. There are no surprise fees added at pickup, no vague line items, and no confusion about what is included. If there are weight limits or tonnage allowances that apply to your job, we explain them upfront so you can plan accordingly. We also give you a clear rundown of any prohibited or restricted materials before your container is delivered, so there are no issues when we come to haul it away.
Our free, no-obligation dumpster quotes cost you nothing and take only a few minutes. You tell us what you are working on, we recommend a size and give you a price, and you decide from there. No pressure, no commitment until you are ready.
Right size. Right price. Right on time.
When the dumpster arrives, the real work can begin. We offer same-day and next-day delivery throughout Gary and the surrounding Lake County area for customers who need to move quickly. Whether you are dealing with a last-minute project, a tight contractor deadline, or a cleanup that cannot wait until next week, we do our best to get a container to you fast.
Flexible rental periods are available for projects that run longer than expected, and we can arrange swap-outs and haul-aways on your schedule. Drop-off and pickup logistics are handled by our crew, who will work with you on placement to protect your driveway and keep the container accessible for the duration of your rental. One call is all it takes.
We take our responsibility to the community seriously when it comes to how debris is handled after pickup. Materials are sorted at the transfer station, and recyclable items are separated from general waste wherever possible. We are committed to eco-friendly and responsible disposal practices that reduce the amount of material ending up in a landfill unnecessarily.
There are materials we cannot accept in our containers, including hazardous waste, chemicals, tires, and certain electronics. When you call for a quote, we will go over the prohibited and restricted materials list so you are prepared before the container arrives. Knowing what goes in and what stays out keeps the process clean and compliant for everyone involved.
We've been at this since 2021, and every year we have added to the experience that makes us reliable. Local ownership means personal accountability. When something needs attention, you are reaching someone who cares about the outcome because this is their business and their community.
Fast delivery, honest pricing, and right-sized containers are the foundation of what we do. We do not pad quotes, we do not show up late without a call, and we do not send out containers that are not clean and ready to use. That consistency is what keeps customers coming back and what earns referrals from contractors who need a partner they can trust on every job.
Not the biggest name in town. Just the most reliable one.

How do I know which dumpster size is right for my project?
A good starting point is thinking in terms of rooms or project scope. A single-room cleanout usually fits in a 10-yard or 12-yard. A kitchen or bathroom remodel tends to work well in a 15-yard. Whole-home cleanouts and roofing jobs typically call for a 20-yard or larger. When you call us, we will ask a few quick questions about your project and recommend the size that fits without going oversized and without leaving you short on room.
What items are not allowed in a roll-off dumpster?
We cannot accept hazardous materials, including paint, motor oil, solvents, pesticides, propane tanks, batteries, asbestos, or any material classified as hazardous waste. Electronics and appliances containing refrigerants also require special handling. If you are unsure whether something qualifies, ask us when you call and we will give you a straight answer so you are not stuck with a rejected load.
Transparent Flat-Rate Pricing
We quote you a flat rate that covers delivery, pickup, and a standard weight allowance. There are no fees added after the fact, and what we quote is what you pay.
Do I need a permit to place a dumpster on the street in Gary?
If the dumpster is going in your driveway or on private property, a permit is generally not required. Street placement in Gary may require a permit from the city, and requirements can vary by location. We can walk you through what is typically needed when you book so there are no surprises on delivery day.
How does same-day or next-day delivery work?
Same-day delivery is available throughout Gary and Lake County when you call early enough in the day. Next-day delivery is easy to arrange any time. We confirm your delivery window when you book so you know when to expect us. The earlier you call, the more flexibility we have to work around your schedule.
What is included in the flat-rate price?
Our flat-rate pricing covers delivery, pickup, and a standard weight allowance for the size you rent. There are no add-on fees for standard service. The only time additional charges come into play is if your load exceeds the included tonnage, and we talk through that upfront so you can plan accordingly. What we quote is what you pay.
Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery
We offer same-day delivery throughout Gary and Lake County when you call early, and next-day delivery is just as easy to arrange for projects that need a little lead time.
What happens if my debris is heavier than expected and I go over the weight limit?
Overage fees apply when a load exceeds the included tonnage. We work to help you avoid that by recommending the right size and container type for your debris during the initial call. If you are dealing with heavy materials like concrete, dirt, or roofing shingles, we may recommend the 10-yard lowboy, which is designed for dense debris and rated for higher weight rather than volume.
How do I prevent damage to my driveway when placing a dumpster?
Our crew is experienced and focused on protecting your property during placement. We can place boards or plywood under the container's contact points to distribute weight and reduce pressure on concrete or asphalt surfaces. If you have a specific area of concern, let us know when you call and we will plan the placement accordingly.
Do I need to be home when the dumpster is delivered or picked up?
You do not need to be home for delivery as long as we have clear instructions on where to place the bin and the area is accessible. For pickup, you simply call us when you are done loading and we will schedule the haul-away. If there are any access considerations at your property, it helps to mention them when you book so our driver arrives prepared.
Honest Advice on the Right Size
We ask a few quick questions about your project and recommend the container that fits the work in front of you, so you are not paying for more bin than you need.
How long can I keep the dumpster, and can I extend my rental?
We offer flexible rental periods and can extend your rental if the project runs longer than expected. When you call for a quote, let us know roughly how long you anticipate needing the bin. If you need more time mid-rental, just give us a call and we will work out an extension that fits your timeline.
What is the fill-line rule and why does it matter?
Debris must not be loaded above the top edge of the container, which is the fill line. Loads that exceed the fill line cannot be legally transported on public roads, and our driver will not be able to haul an overfilled bin. If you are running out of room, the right move is to call us and discuss whether a larger container or a swap-out makes sense for your project.
