Terms of Service
These terms cover booking a dumpster through this site. They are written in plain words. By sending a booking request, you agree to these terms. Last updated: November 13, 2026.
Booking is a request
Sending the booking form is a request, not a confirmed order. Your booking is confirmed only when we call you and confirm the size, delivery date, rental length, and exact price. Until that call, no rental exists and no payment is due.
No payment is taken on this site. Payment happens only after the confirmation call. If we cannot meet your date or your placement, we will tell you on the call and offer the nearest workable option.
Price confirmation
Your exact price is confirmed before payment. Prices shown on this site are published market ranges with sources and dates. They are planning figures, not quotes. Your exact price depends on size, city, rental days, and weight. The price we confirm on the call is the price that applies.
Overage charges apply when the load goes over its weight allowance. Extra days cost extra. Both are confirmed with you before they are charged. If you are unsure about weight, tell us your debris type when you book so we can pick the right size.
Permits are your responsibility for street placement
A dumpster on your own driveway needs no permit in most Colorado cities. A dumpster on a public street, sidewalk, or alley usually needs a city permit. Permits for street placement are the customer's responsibility, unless we state otherwise on the confirmation call.
Each city sets its own permit rules. Denver requires a Right-of-Way Revocable Street Occupancy Permit through DOTI. Colorado Springs requires a Land Use Review revocable permit. Fort Collins charges $25 for a Permit to Obstruct. Other cities have their own steps. If your placement needs a permit and you do not have one, the city may fine you or order the dumpster moved. Tell us the placement when you book so we can flag the permit for you.
Weight limits and overage
Every dumpster has a weight allowance in tons. The allowance is set when you book. A 10-yard usually allows 1 to 3 tons. A 20-yard usually allows 2 to 4 tons. A 30-yard usually allows 3 to 5 tons. A 40-yard usually allows 4 to 6 tons.
Weight over the allowance is billed per ton. Most operators charge $40 to $100 per extra ton. Some charge up to $200. Heavy debris like concrete, dirt, brick, and tile fills the weight limit fast. Never load heavy debris into a 30-yard or 40-yard box.
Rental period and extensions
The standard rental runs 7 days. Shorter and longer terms are available when you book. If you need more time, call us before the pickup date. Extra days are usually available and are billed at the rate confirmed with you. If the box is still full past the agreed pickup date and we cannot reach you, extra days may be billed until pickup.
Prohibited items
Hazardous waste is never allowed in a dumpster. That means paint, solvents, chemicals, asbestos, batteries, tires, and medical waste. Appliances with freon need the freon removed first. If prohibited items are found in your load, you may be charged for their removal and disposal. When in doubt, ask before you load.
Driveway and access
You are responsible for a clear delivery spot. The truck needs about 10.5 feet of width, 60 feet of straight clearance, and 25 to 30 feet of vertical clearance. Move cars, bins, and low branches before delivery day. We place boards under the rails on request to protect the driveway surface, but we are not liable for marks, cracks, or damage to driveways, pavers, lawns, or sprinkler lines from the weight of a loaded dumpster. Do not place a dumpster on fresh asphalt or concrete poured in the last few weeks.
Loading rules
Fill the dumpster level with the top edge. Do not heap debris above the rim. An overfilled box may not be hauled until the load is leveled. Do not load items that stick out over the sides. Do not move the dumpster yourself. If the box needs to move, call us.
Cancellation
You can cancel a booking before delivery at no charge. Call us as soon as you know. If the truck is already on its way, a trip fee may apply. After delivery, the rental runs until pickup. If you cancel after delivery, the rental days used are still billed.
