Dump
Bunn Box, Inc. | Dumpster Rental & Waste Management Services
6301 Ardmore Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46809
(260) 747-1791Bunn Box, Inc. on Ardmore is the kind of dump locals use when clearing out garages, hauling off renovation debris, or getting rid of household junk. Located at 6301 Ardmore Ave in Fort Wayne, it looks and feels like a working yard rather than a neat recycling center. Neighbors, contractors, and anyone with a truck or trailer stop through here on a regular basis.
Drive up to the entrance and be ready to pause at the gate or scale house common to these types of facilities. Many dumps in the area charge by weight, so vehicles often go over a scale on the way in or out. The site is industrial - gravel, piles of material, and large containers - so plan for dust and uneven footing. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get backed up, so a short wait is normal.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose loads and secure tarps before pulling in; nothing fun about losing debris on the way.
- Sort big, awkward items from loose household trash beforehand to speed unloading and avoid awkward juggling at the tip area.
- Bring a helper for heavy lifting and wear sturdy shoes - the surface is often gravel and a little rough for low-clearance vehicles.
