Concrete Dumpster Rental in Colorado
Concrete dumpster rental means a small, low bin built for heavy debris. Driveways, slabs, foundations, brick, and dirt go in a 10-yard bin, filled only part way.
Quick answer
A concrete dumpster is a small roll-off bin, usually 10 yards, for heavy debris like concrete, dirt, brick, and tile. One cubic yard of broken concrete weighs about 2 tons, so the bin is filled only part way. Published Colorado prices for a 10-yard bin run from about $300 for a 3-day rental in Colorado Springs to about $499 for a 5-day rental in Fort Collins.
What concrete dumpster rental covers
Concrete rental covers heavy debris from tear-outs and digs. Broken driveways, sidewalks, slabs, foundations, brick walls, tile, and dirt all fit. The bin is small and low, which keeps the total weight inside the truck limit.
The rule is simple: small bin, part full. A 10-yard bin is the standard pick. Fill it to about one third of the height with concrete. That keeps the load near 2 to 3 tons, inside most weight allowances.
The rental includes delivery, pickup, disposal, and a set weight allowance. Most rentals run 7 to 14 days. Heavy loads are priced by weight, so the allowance matters more than the size.
Best jobs for a concrete dumpster
- Driveway and sidewalk removal
- Concrete slab and patio tear-out
- Foundation and footing removal
- Brick wall and chimney removal
- Tile and stone removal
- Dirt and rock from grading or digging
- Pool removal, concrete shell out
For a full driveway, one 10-yard dumpster may not be enough. Plan on two hauls, or ask at booking how many bins the job needs.
Why concrete needs a small bin
| Material | Weight per cubic yard |
|---|---|
| Broken concrete | About 2 tons |
| Dirt and soil | About 1 to 1.5 tons |
| Brick | About 1.5 to 2 tons |
| Tile and stone | About 1.5 to 2 tons |
| Gravel and rock | About 1.5 tons |
A 10-yard bin holds 10 cubic yards. Full of concrete, that is about 20 tons. No roll-off truck can haul that. Filled to one third, the load is about 6 to 7 cubic yards, or 3 tons, which is near the limit. That is why the part-full rule matters.
Weight limits and overage fees
Most 10-yard rentals include 1 to 3 tons of debris. Concrete hits that limit fast. Tell us the material and the rough volume when you book, and we will confirm how many bins the job needs.
Overage fees in Colorado typically run $40 to $100 per ton, and can reach $200 per ton with some haulers. All American Dumpster in Colorado Springs charges $65 per ton over the limit. Dumpster Rental Dogs charges $85 per ton in Colorado Springs.
Keep rebar and wire mesh in the load. It is fine to load them with concrete. Just keep the pieces short so they fit flat in the bin.

Where to place a concrete dumpster
Place the bin as close to the tear-out as the truck can reach. Concrete is heavy to carry, and a short carry saves the crew hours. A driveway or a paved pad near the work is the usual spot.
Put plywood boards under the rails. A concrete load is the heaviest load a roll-off truck carries, and boards spread that weight. They protect concrete from cracks and asphalt from ruts.
The truck needs about 10.5 feet of width and 60 feet of straight clearance, plus 25 to 30 feet of vertical clearance. Watch for low wires and soft ground after rain.

When Concrete Dumpster Rental Is Wrong for You
A concrete bin is wrong for mixed household waste. Furniture and boxes do not belong in a heavy load. A residential dumpster fits that job better.
It is wrong for a big mixed demolition job too. Wood, drywall, and metal need more room. A demolition dumpster fits that job better. A big mixed load fills a tall bin too fast.
Skip it for yard waste only. Branches and leaves need a clean green load. A yard waste dumpster fits that job better.
What Is Included
- Delivery to your driveway or lot, and pickup when you are done
- Placement on solid ground where the truck can reach
- Disposal of the load at the landfill
- Rental days as quoted at booking. Published Colorado terms run from 3 days to 14 days.
- Included weight set by the size you pick. Heavy loads are priced by weight.
- Overage billed per ton over the included weight. It typically runs $40 to $100 per ton in Colorado.
- Ask at booking whether delivery is a separate line in your quote.
What Moves the Price for a Concrete Dumpster
- Weight. Concrete is priced by weight, so tons drive the cost.
- Size. Only a small bin fits a heavy load safely.
- Rental length. Longer terms cost more than short ones.
- Distance. A job far from the hauler yard costs more to reach.
Frequently asked questions
What size dumpster do I need for concrete?
A 10-yard dumpster is the standard pick for concrete, dirt, brick, and tile. Fill it only part way, to about one third of the bin height, so the total weight stays inside the 1 to 3 ton allowance.
How much does a concrete dumpster cost in Colorado?
Published Colorado ranges for a 10-yard bin run from about $300 for a 3-day rental in Colorado Springs to about $499 for a 5-day rental in Fort Collins. The national average was $586 in October 2026, per Dumpsters.com. Our exact price is confirmed when you book.
How much does broken concrete weigh?
One cubic yard of broken concrete weighs about 2 tons. A 10-yard bin full of concrete would weigh about 20 tons, far more than any truck can haul. That is why concrete bins are filled only part way.
Can I mix concrete with other debris?
It is best not to. Mixed loads hit weight limits fast and may cost more at the landfill. Keep concrete, dirt, and brick in their own small bin, and put light waste in a separate bin.
Can I put dirt in a concrete dumpster?
Yes. Dirt, soil, rock, and gravel all go in a concrete dumpster. They are heavy too, so the same part-full rule applies. Fill the bin to about one third of the height with dirt.
