Demolition Dumpster Rental Colorado
Demolition dumpster rental colorado covers tear-outs, gut jobs, and full demolitions. Big bins take light bulky debris, and small bins take the heavy loads.
Quick answer
A demolition dumpster is a roll-off bin for tear-out waste: walls, framing, flooring, fixtures, and roofing. Light bulky debris goes in a 30-yard or 40-yard bin. Heavy debris like concrete goes in a 10-yard bin. Published Colorado prices run from about $345 for a 30-yard bin in Denver to about $906 for a 40-yard bin on national average.
What demolition dumpster rental colorado covers
Demolition rental covers the waste a tear-out makes. Torn-out walls, wood framing, drywall, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, and roofing all fit. The bin sits on the site and the crew loads it as the demo moves.
Full demolitions need the biggest bins. A 40-yard bin holds about 12 pickup loads of light bulky debris. Interior gut jobs usually fit a 30-yard bin. Small tear-outs fit a 20-yard bin.
Heavy debris needs its own bin. Concrete, dirt, brick, and tile go in a 10-yard bin, filled only part way. Mixing heavy and light waste in one big bin hits the weight limit fast.
Best jobs for a demolition dumpster
- Full house or building demolition
- Interior gut job, walls and floors out
- Kitchen and bathroom tear-out
- Garage or shed demolition
- Deck, fence, and porch removal
- Commercial space strip-out
- Concrete slab and driveway removal, in a small bin
For a full demolition, a 40-yard dumpster is the standard pick. For an interior gut job, use a 30-yard dumpster.
Sizes for demolition jobs
| Demolition job | Best size |
|---|---|
| Single-room tear-out | 20-yard |
| Interior gut job | 30-yard |
| Full house demolition | 40-yard |
| Large commercial strip-out | 40-yard |
| Concrete, dirt, or brick only | 10-yard |
Demo jobs that run for weeks need scheduled swaps. We pull the full bin and drop an empty one on the same visit, so the crew never waits.
Heavy debris: the demolition rule
Concrete is the heaviest waste on a demo site. One cubic yard of broken concrete weighs about 2 tons. A 40-yard bin full of concrete would weigh far more than any truck can haul.
Use a 10-yard bin for concrete, dirt, and brick. Fill it only part way, to about one third of the bin height. That keeps the total weight inside the 1 to 3 ton allowance.
Overage fees in Colorado typically run $40 to $100 per ton, and can reach $200 per ton with some haulers. A separate small bin for heavy loads is almost always cheaper than the overage on a mixed load.

What cannot go in a demolition dumpster
Landfills ban hazardous waste, paint, chemicals, solvents, asbestos, and liquids. Older buildings may hide asbestos in insulation, tile, and pipe wrap. Test before you tear out, and never load suspect material.
Treated wood and railroad ties may be banned at some landfills. Ask at booking if the demo includes treated lumber. Keep concrete and dirt in a separate small bin.
Put a tarp over the bin when rain is forecast. Wet debris weighs more, and a wet load costs more at the scale.

When Demolition Dumpster Rental Is Wrong for You
A demolition bin is wrong for light household junk. Furniture and boxes do not need a heavy debris bin. A residential dumpster fits that job better. You pay for heavy debris service you do not need.
It is wrong for a concrete only load. Concrete needs a small bin filled part way. A concrete dumpster in a 10-yard dumpster is the right call.
Skip it for a roofing only job. Shingles have their own weight rules. A roofing dumpster fits that job better.
What Is Included
- Delivery to your site, and pickup when the bin is full
- Disposal of the load at the landfill
- Rental days as quoted at booking. Most Colorado rentals run 7 to 14 days.
- Included weight set by the size you pick. Published Denver rates show a 30-yard bin with 14 days and 3 tons included.
- Overage billed per ton over the included weight. It typically runs $40 to $100 per ton in Colorado.
- Extra days at the published daily rate. They typically run $10 to $25 per day.
- Ask at booking whether delivery is a separate line in your quote.
