What size fits your job in Denver?
Denver jobs split three ways: row home remodels, whole-house cleanouts, and construction debris. Row homes take a 20-yard dumpster in most cases. Whole-house cleanouts take a 30-yard dumpster. Construction jobs take a 30-yard or 40-yard dumpster. Tight alleys change the math, so measure first.
- 10-yard dumpster: small cleanout, one room, small bathroom, or heavy debris like concrete and dirt. About 3 pickup loads. About 50 to 70 bags.
- 15-yard dumpster: mid-size cleanout, two-room remodel, or flooring through a row home. About 4 to 5 pickup loads. About 80 to 100 bags.
- 20-yard dumpster: the most rented size in Denver. Kitchen remodel, multi-room cleanout, flooring, or roofing tear-off. About 6 pickup loads. About 110 to 130 bags.
- 30-yard dumpster: whole-house cleanout, major renovation, or large construction debris. About 9 pickup loads. About 170 to 190 bags. Not for heavy debris.
- 40-yard dumpster: major demolition or large light bulky debris. About 12 pickup loads. About 230 to 250 bags. Never for concrete, dirt, or brick.
Still picking a size? Use the dumpster size calculator. It asks about your row home remodel or your Central Park cleanout. Then it points to the right size in under a minute. Compare sizes in the full Colorado prices guide too.
Heavy debris needs a small dumpster in Denver too. Concrete, dirt, brick, and tile fill a dumpster by weight long before they fill it by space. A 10-yard dumpster is the right call for a concrete patio tear-out in Berkeley or a dirt job in Sunnyside. A 30-yard dumpster full of concrete would break the weight limit and cost you a big overage fee. Read the weight limits guide before you load heavy material.
Local facts for Denver
Denver is the capital of Colorado and its largest city, with 715,522 people in the 2020 Census. It is its own county, Denver County. The city mixes downtown towers, old row homes, and post-war bungalows. That mix drives the dumpster jobs here: remodels in old homes, cleanouts in bungalows, and construction debris downtown.
We serve these areas: Downtown and LoDo, Capitol Hill, the Highlands, Berkeley, Sloan's Lake, Sunnyside, Cherry Creek, Park Hill, Central Park, and Wash Park. ZIP codes we cover include 80202, 80203, 80204, 80205, 80209, 80210, 80211, 80218, 80220, 80223, 80224, 80230, 80231, 80237, and 80249.
Housing stock shapes the job in Denver more than in any other Colorado city. Capitol Hill and the Highlands hold old row homes on narrow lots with tight alleys. A 10-yard or 15-yard dumpster fits those alleys best. Park Hill and Wash Park hold bungalows with driveways that fit a 20-yard dumpster. Central Park holds newer homes with wide driveways that fit a 30-yard dumpster. Tell us your street and lot type when you book, and we match the size to the space.
Permits are the big Denver difference. A dumpster on your own driveway needs no permit. A dumpster on a public street, alley, or sidewalk needs a Right-of-Way Revocable Street Occupancy Permit from Denver DOTI, the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure. Call 303-446-3759. Allow about 5 business days. The street permit fee typically runs $75 to $150. Only the hauling company can pull some DOTI permits, so tell us early if you need street placement. See the full Colorado permit guide for the steps.
Debris from Denver goes to the Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site, known as DADS. It is the main metro landfill for Denver. Hazardous items do not go in a dumpster. Paint, chemicals, tires, batteries, and appliances with freon need a separate drop-off. Denver runs household hazardous waste collection for those items. Check the city schedule before your rental starts.
HOA rules matter in Central Park and Cherry Creek. Many HOAs limit how long a dumpster can sit in view and where it can sit. Most allow 7 days. Some ask for a note before delivery. Check your HOA rules before you book, and tell us the limit. We plan pickup inside your HOA window so you avoid a fine.
Driveways in Denver are a mix of concrete and older asphalt. Concrete holds a loaded dumpster well when boards sit under the rails. Asphalt softens in summer heat, so boards matter even more on hot days. Alleys in Capitol Hill are often concrete or packed dirt, and they can be narrow for a truck. We place boards under the rails on every driveway drop. Read will a dumpster damage my driveway for the full checklist.
Denver delivery takes longer than in smaller cities. Local haulers quote next business day as the norm, and some take about 2 days. Same-day delivery is possible when you book early. Book before midday for the best chance. If your job has a hard start date, book two days ahead and lock the date. Our same-day dumpster service covers Denver when a truck is free.
Denver has the most competition in the state. Dumpster Rental Dogs leads with data-driven prices and permit detail. Mo's Hauling offers one size only. HBS Trash works from Parker with next business day delivery. Eureka Dumpster Rental works the west side from Arvada. Blue Fox works the metro from an Aurora yard. None of them offers online booking. That gap is why this page exists: you can see real prices and book online in minutes.

How delivery and pickup work in Denver
Start on the booking page. Pick a size first. Then pick your delivery date and rental days. Then add your address and phone. We ring you back to confirm the size, the dates, and the exact price. The booking page takes no payment.
Delivery day is simple, but Denver streets need care. Clear the driveway or street spot before the truck arrives. The truck needs about 10.5 feet of width and 60 feet of straight clearance. It also needs 25 to 30 feet of clear space above for the lift. Move cars, low branches, and bins out of the way. In a narrow alley, measure the width first and tell us the number. The driver sets boards under the rails, sets the dumpster down, and checks the spot with you.
Load it right and you dodge extra fees. Fill the dumpster level with the top edge. Never fill above it. Put heavy material at the bottom. Put light material on top. Keep paint, chemicals, tires, batteries, and hazardous waste out. Denver runs hazardous waste collection for those items. Never mix concrete with household junk in a big dumpster. Unsure about an item? Check what can go in a dumpster or call us first.
Pickup is one call away. Call or message us when the dumpster is full or your rental days are up. We schedule pickup, usually the next business day. Keep the area around the dumpster clear so the truck can hook it and go. Do not park cars in front of it on pickup day. Street placements need the permit to stay valid until pickup day, so do not let it lapse.
