One flat number: delivery, pickup, window, real tonnage. Here's how the sizes map to actual Fishers projects — and what the market really charges.
Lock My Flat Quote| Size | Footprint | Holds about | Typical Fishers project | Typical range* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 yd | 14' × 8' × 4.5' | 4–5 pickup loads | Garage cleanout, two rooms of flooring, one bath | $300–$410 |
| 20 yd | 16' × 8' × 5.5' | 6–7 pickup loads | Kitchen or bath remodel, basement finish, ~30-square roof | $360–$480 |
| 30 yd | 18' × 8' × 6.5' | 9–10 pickup loads | Whole-home cleanout, addition, Geist-scale reno | $430–$590 |
| Heavy | low-profile | 10+ tons | Concrete, pavers, dirt, shingle-only | per material |

Walk the pile. Fits in four or five pickup beds? The 15. A kitchen, the carpet out of a whole house, or a standard roof? The 20 — this town's workhorse. Clearing a whole home, building on, or anything Geist-sized? The 30, and stop thinking about it. Genuinely stuck between two? Take the bigger one: the step up costs less than an overage or second haul, and an unfilled box charges nothing for its empty half.
Weight and honesty. A 20 of kitchen demo weighs a fraction of a 20 of tile and mortar, so real quotes ask what's going in and print the included tonnage. Broker teaser rates skip the question, then reconcile at the scale as an "overage" you never agreed to. Our flat number states the tonnage up front; genuinely heavy jobs see the scale ticket, not a mystery figure. When you're comparing us against anyone, make them answer one question: what tonnage is included, in writing?
Seven days standard — most projects finish in three or four, roof crews in two. Contractors phase-swap on schedule. Longer projects get extensions priced before delivery, never a per-day meter discovered on the invoice. Done early? One call and the driveway's yours again, usually next business day.
Fuel surcharges added after the drop. "Environmental fees" that appear at invoice. Per-day charges nobody mentioned. Trip fees for the pickup that was always part of the deal. None of these live in a Nickel Plate quote — the flat number is the whole number, which is the entire reason this company has customers.
