Telluride local facts: areas, ZIPs, permits, and disposal
Telluride is a town in San Miguel County, with 2,607 residents at the 2020 Census. The ZIP code is 81435. Main areas are downtown Telluride, Mountain Village, Lawson Hill, and the West End. Most homes are historic Victorians, condos, and mountain chalets. The town sits in a box canyon at the end of a single road.
Permits follow the universal rule in Telluride. A dumpster on your own driveway needs no permit. A dumpster on a street or in a public right of way needs town approval first. Check with the Town of Telluride Public Works department before you place a street dumpster. Telluride streets are narrow, and parking is scarce in ski season.
Debris from Telluride loads goes to the San Miguel County Waste Transfer Station at 1100 County Road W35 in Norwood. The Norwood Landfill and Transfer Station sits about an hour from town. Paint, oil, and batteries never go in a dumpster. Telluride sits in bear country, so never leave food waste in an open dumpster overnight.

How delivery and pickup work in Telluride
Book online or call. Tell us the size, the delivery date, and where the dumpster should sit. The driver needs about 60 feet of straight clearance and 25 to 30 feet of vertical space. Telluride lots are small and steep, so flag the access when you book. We lay boards under the rails to protect pavers and stone driveways.
Standard rental runs 7 to 14 days. Call when the dumpster is full or your rental ends and we pick it up. Fill only to the top rail. Overfilled loads cannot travel safely on the mountain road out of the canyon. Winter storms can close the pass, so book a day early from November through April. In Telluride, pickup runs via the San Miguel County Waste Transfer Station.
For a Telluride job, read the Colorado dumpster permit guide and the driveway protection guide before your delivery day. Both take two minutes and save real trouble.
