Roll Off Dumpster Rental Colorado
Roll off dumpster rental colorado means a steel bin delivered by truck, dropped on your driveway or jobsite, and hauled away when full. You load it at your own pace.
Quick answer
A roll-off dumpster is an open-top steel bin that a truck rolls off its bed and onto your property. You fill it over 7 to 14 days, then the truck returns and hauls it away. Sizes run 10 to 40 yards. The national average price was $586 for a 10-yard bin and $906 for a 40-yard bin in October 2026, per Dumpsters.com.
What roll off dumpster rental colorado covers
Roll-off rental covers the bin, the delivery, the pickup, and the disposal of the load. You get a set rental period, usually 7 to 14 days, and a set weight allowance. You load the bin yourself, on your own schedule.
The bin sits on your driveway, on the street with a permit, or on a jobsite. The truck uses a hydraulic bed to roll the bin off and on. The whole drop takes a few minutes once the truck is in place.
Roll-off is the standard choice for remodels, cleanouts, roofing, and construction across Colorado. It beats hauling loads to the dump yourself. One bin replaces many pickup trips.
How roll-off delivery works
- You pick a size and a delivery date when you book.
- The truck arrives and sets the bin on boards to protect the surface.
- You load the bin over your rental period.
- You call or schedule a pickup when the bin is full.
- The truck hauls the bin away and the waste goes to a landfill or transfer station.
The truck needs about 10.5 feet of width and 60 feet of straight clearance to set the bin down. It also needs 25 to 30 feet of vertical clearance, so watch for low wires and tree limbs.

Roll-off sizes and what each holds
| Size | Holds about | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 10-yard | 3 pickup loads | Small cleanout, heavy debris |

What you cannot put in a roll-off dumpster
Landfills ban some items. Do not load hazardous waste, paint, chemicals, solvents, tires, batteries, asbestos, or liquids. Do not load refrigerators with freon unless the freon is removed first.
Electronics, mattresses, and appliances are usually fine, but rules vary by landfill. Ask at booking if you have an unusual item. A banned item in the load can draw a fine from the landfill, and that fine passes to the renter.
Keep the load level with the top rail. An overfilled bin cannot be hauled safely. The driver may refuse pickup until you level the load.

When Roll Off Dumpster Rental Is Wrong for You
A roll-off bin is wrong where the truck cannot reach. Narrow alleys, low wires, and steep drives block delivery. A smaller bin or a street spot with a permit is the better call. See the Colorado permit guide before you book a street spot.
It is wrong for a tiny load too. One room of junk does not need a big bin. A 10-yard dumpster handles it for less. A small bin also needs less room on the driveway.
Skip it for street placement without a permit. Most cities need a permit for street placement. Denver permits take about 5 business days through DOTI.
What Is Included
- Delivery by roll-off truck, and pickup when you are done
- 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 20-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.
What Moves the Price for a Roll-Off Dumpster
- Size. A 40-yard bin costs more than a 10-yard bin.
- Weight. Heavy loads push past the included tons fast.
- Rental length. Extra days add $10 to $25 per day.
- City and distance. A job far from the hauler yard costs more to reach.
