At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Montrose, Colorado, and the Uncompahgre Valley in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Ranch outbuildings, older homes getting new kitchens and roofs, and a steady run of residential construction on the edges of town keep containers busy here. Homeowners, farmers, and builders all use them.
The price you pay comes down to four things: container size, the type of debris, how many days you keep it, and the disposal fees at the county landfill. Below, you'll see our price ranges, how street permits work inside and outside city limits, and which items Colorado keeps out of its landfills.

Several local details push a Montrose dumpster quote up or down.
Size is the obvious one. A larger container costs more, yet guessing too small can mean a second haul, which costs more still.
Weight matters because the county landfill charges by the ton. Montrose County's 2026 fee schedule lists $71.31 per ton for household trash and the same $71.31 for construction and demolition debris. That means a load of old drywall costs no more per ton than a load of household junk. What changes the bill is how heavy the load gets.
A few items cost extra no matter the weight. The county adds a separate charge for each appliance, mattress, box spring, and tire, so list those when you call.
Street placement can matter, too. If the container can't fit on your property, you may need a right-of-way permit before it arrives. The county doesn't post the permit fee online, so call ahead and ask.

Pick a size by thinking about both the volume of your debris and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster works for a single bathroom, a small shed teardown, or a weekend of yard cleanup. It's also the smart pick for concrete, stone, or dirt, since those loads get heavy long before the container fills up.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a one-car garage cleanout, a deck removal, or a modest roof tear-off. It gives you room to spare without the price of a bigger container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a common choice in Montrose for cleaning out a whole house or remodeling a few rooms at once. Most home projects fit in it.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits larger remodels, new home builds, barn and outbuilding cleanouts, and demolition with mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the biggest one we offer. It's made for commercial builds, large demolition jobs, and big property cleanouts.
Still deciding? Walk your account manager through the job, and they'll suggest the right fit.
When the dumpster sits on private property, such as your driveway, yard, or job site, you usually don't need a permit in Montrose. A permit comes into play when the container has to sit on a public road, alley, or the strip of land along it.
Who handles that depends on where you are. Outside city limits, Montrose County controls the roads. The county says a right-of-way permit is needed for all work in its right-of-way, and it calls this the Right-of-Way Use Permit. The county also asks for proof of insurance and a permit fee. Call Montrose County Public Works at 970-249-5424 to ask about the cost and how long review takes.
Inside city limits, the City of Montrose manages the streets. Start with the City's Engineering office at 970-240-1480 and ask what's needed before a container can sit on a City street at your address.
Plan for the approval before you pick a delivery date. If you aren't sure whether your spot is city or county road, your account manager can help you find the right office.
Most remodel, roofing, and cleanout debris is fine for your dumpster. The limits come from Colorado's landfill rules and from what the county landfill will take.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment lists the items that are banned from landfills across the state. They include car and truck batteries, used motor oil, liquid waste, waste tires, and electronics. That last one surprises a lot of people. TVs, computers, monitors, and other electronic equipment can't be thrown away with regular trash, so take them to an electronics recycler.
Hazardous waste, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. Keep tires, appliances, and mattresses out of the general load and mention them when you book, since the landfill handles and prices them one at a time.
If you have questions about any item, ask your account manager before it goes in.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Most dumpster loads from Montrose go to the Montrose County Landfill at 67999 Landfill Road, Montrose, CO. The county sets the fees there, and you can find them on the county's landfill and recycling page. The landfill's phone number is 970-615-6072.
The landfill keeps two sets of hours. From March 1 through October 31, it's open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. From November 1 through the end of February, it's open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. It's closed every Sunday.
Because the landfill weighs each load, a lighter container costs less to empty. Your account manager can confirm where your load is headed and explain the disposal fees before delivery.
Most Montrose dumpster rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with drop-off landing in a 24 to 48 hour window. If you book a few days out, you'll have time to handle any road permit and get the drop area ready.
A few tips help the day go smoothly:
Keep the landfill's calendar in mind as well. It's closed on Sundays and opens later in winter, so a container filled over the weekend may not be emptied until Monday.

Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
In Montrose, dumpster rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. The weight of your debris and the county landfill's per-ton fee also shape the final price. Your account manager confirms tonnage and overage rates.
For bigger jobs, a dumpster usually wins. The county landfill charges every pickup load that comes through, and a long cleanout can take many trips plus fuel and a lot of your weekend. With a dumpster, you fill it at your own pace and we haul it all away at once.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of bags. Furniture is bulky but fairly light, so space usually runs out before weight does.
Leave out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, car batteries, and asbestos. Colorado also bans electronics like TVs and computers from landfills, so recycle them instead. Tires, appliances, and mattresses should stay out of the main load and be mentioned when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. Your total still depends on weight, because the county landfill charges by the ton. A small container full of concrete or tile can go over its limit, so keep heavy debris in a separate load when you can.
Three days usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental. We price by the job, not by the day, and the weight of the load moves your bill more than the calendar. Ask your account manager how much weight is included and what extra tons cost.
You can load most household and building debris, including lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, fencing, and general junk. Clean dirt, rock, and concrete are fine too, though they're heavy, so a smaller container often works best. If you're unsure about something, check with your account manager first.
