Dumpster Rental Colorado

Honest prices by job size

Pick your tier. Each price range comes from the published market table above. It was checked on November 14, 2026. Your exact price is confirmed when you book.

Overage fees apply when the box goes over its weight limit. Most operators charge $40 to $100 per extra ton. Ask what your rental includes before you book. The full breakdown lives on the Colorado prices page.

Pick your size

Five sizes cover nearly every job in the state. The 20-yard is the most rented size. Start there if you are unsure, then check the card that matches your job.

Delivery needs room. The truck needs about 10.5 feet of width, 60 feet of straight clearance, and 25 to 30 feet of vertical clearance. Measure your driveway before you book. Low wires and tight turns are the two most common delivery problems.

How renting a dumpster works

Booking takes four steps, and the whole thing happens online.

1. Pick a size. Use the size tool above, or pick from the five cards. The 20-yard fits most home jobs.
2. Pick your dates. Choose a delivery date and a rental length. Seven days is standard. Shorter and longer terms are available.
3. Tell us where it goes. Give your street address and pick driveway, street, or jobsite. Street placement may need a city permit.
4. Leave your details. We call you to confirm the size, the dates, and your exact price. No payment is taken on the booking page.

On delivery day, the driver places the dumpster where you asked. Keep the spot clear of cars, bins, and low branches. Fill it level with the top edge. Do not heap debris above the rim. When you are done, tell us and we pick it up. The how to rent a dumpster guide walks through each step in more detail.

What can go in a dumpster

Most household and building debris is fine. Old furniture, boxes, clothes, wood, drywall, flooring, cabinets, roofing shingles, and yard waste all go in. Concrete, dirt, brick, and tile go in too, but only in a small box. Heavy material hits the weight limit fast.

Some items are never allowed. Paint, solvents, chemicals, asbestos, batteries, tires, and medical waste are hazardous. They need a county hazardous waste facility, not a dumpster. Appliances with freon need the freon removed first. Mattresses are allowed by most haulers, but some landfills charge extra for them. Check the full list in what can go in a dumpster before you load anything you are unsure about.

Do you need a permit in Colorado?

A dumpster on your own driveway needs no permit in most Colorado cities. A dumpster on a public street, sidewalk, or alley usually does. The city owns that space, and it wants to know what sits on it.

Denver requires a Right-of-Way Revocable Street Occupancy Permit from DOTI. Call 303-446-3759. Allow about five business days. The street permit fee typically runs $75 to $150. Colorado Springs requires a Land Use Review revocable permit. Call 719-385-5905. Fort Collins charges $25 for a Permit to Obstruct through the Engineering Department at 281 N College Ave. Call 970-221-6605. Pueblo routes street placement through the Transportation Division. Other cities follow the same idea: check with the city Public Works office before the delivery date. Our Colorado permit guide lists the steps city by city.

Will a dumpster damage my driveway?

A dumpster can mark a driveway. Steel rails sit on the surface, and a full box is heavy. The risk is highest on fresh asphalt, thin concrete, and pavers. It is lowest on old concrete and gravel.

Boards help a lot. We place plywood boards under the rails to spread the weight. You can also lay your own boards before the truck arrives. Keep the spot dry if you can. Wet asphalt marks more easily. Do not place a dumpster on a driveway that was poured in the last few weeks. Read the full driveway protection guide before delivery day.

Weight limits and overage fees

Every dumpster has a weight limit, not just a size. The limit is measured in tons. A 10-yard usually allows 1 to 3 tons. A 20-yard usually allows 2 to 4 tons. A 30-yard usually allows 3 to 5 tons. A 40-yard usually allows 4 to 6 tons. The exact allowance is set when you book.

Going over costs money. Most operators charge $40 to $100 per extra ton. One national lister goes to $250 per ton. The bill adds up fast on heavy loads. Concrete and dirt are the worst offenders. One cubic yard of concrete weighs about two tons. That is why heavy debris belongs in a 10-yard box. The weight limits guide shows the math by material.

Built for Colorado

Colorado is not flat, dry, or mild. A dumpster that works in Texas may not work on a steep driveway in the mountains. We plan for Colorado conditions on every delivery.

High altitude and dry air

Colorado Springs sits more than 6,000 feet above sea level. The air is thin and dry. Sun hits hard at this height. Wood dries out and cracks. Asphalt and concrete take a beating from the swings between hot days and cold nights.

Freeze-thaw winters

Winter brings freeze and thaw, over and over. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, and opens them wider. A full dumpster is heavy, and a cracked driveway marks fast. Boards under the rails spread the weight and protect the surface. Keep the spot dry if you can. Wet asphalt marks more easily.

Mountain towns and steep driveways

We deliver to mountain towns like Aspen, Vail, Telluride, Steamboat Springs, Estes Park, and Leadville. Many homes there sit on steep, narrow driveways. The truck needs about 10.5 feet of width and 60 feet of straight clearance. Tell us about a steep slope or a tight turn when you book. A driver who cannot place the box may charge a trip fee. Some haulers charge $50 to $150 for a failed trip.

Permits by city

Each city sets its own permit rules. Denver needs a DOTI street permit, and the fee typically runs $75 to $150. Fort Collins charges $25 for a Permit to Obstruct. Colorado Springs uses a Land Use Review revocable permit. A dumpster on your own driveway needs no permit in most cities. Our Colorado permit guide lists the steps city by city.

HOA rules and driveway boards

Some HOAs limit where a dumpster can sit and how long it can stay. Check your HOA rules before you book. Boards help on any driveway. We place plywood boards under the rails on request. You can also lay your own boards before the truck arrives. Read the full driveway protection guide before delivery day.

Winter access and snow weight

Snow and rain add weight to an open dumpster. Wet debris weighs more than dry debris. Extra weight can push a load over its limit and trigger overage fees. Cover the box when snow or rain is coming. Clear the driveway of snow before delivery day so the truck can reach the spot and place the box safely.

How it works in three steps

Renting a dumpster takes three moves. The booking page walks through the same job in four steps. Here is the short version.

1. Pick a size and your dates. Use the size tool above, or pick from the five size cards. Seven days is standard. Shorter and longer terms are available.
2. Tell us where it goes and leave your details. Give your street address and pick driveway, street, or jobsite. Street placement may need a city permit. Leave your name and phone number.
3. We confirm, deliver, and pick up. We call you to confirm the size, the dates, and your exact price. No payment is taken on the booking page. On delivery day, the driver places the dumpster where you asked. When you are done, tell us and we pick it up.

The how to rent a dumpster guide walks through each step in more detail.

Three questions before you call

Know your answers and you will get a faster, sharper price. We ask these on the first call. Arrive prepared.

1. What is the job, and what goes in the box? A garage cleanout and a kitchen remodel need different sizes. Heavy debris like concrete, dirt, brick, tile, or shingles fills the weight limit fast. Light bulky debris fills the space first. Tell us both the job and the material.
2. Where will it sit, and can the truck reach it? Driveway, street, or jobsite? The truck needs about 10.5 feet of width, 60 feet of straight clearance, and 25 to 30 feet of vertical clearance. Low wires and tight turns are the two most common delivery problems. Street placement may need a city permit.
3. What dates do you need, and how long? Most rentals run 7 days. Some run 14. Extra days usually cost $10 to $25 per day. Tell us your dates up front so the schedule fits your job. A tight deadline or a holiday week is worth saying on the first call.
