At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Denver, Colorado, and the surrounding metro area in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Brick bungalows and ranch homes in southwest Denver getting new kitchens and roofs, scrape-and-rebuild projects, and steady construction along Federal and Sheridan boulevards keep containers in demand.
Four things shape your price: the dumpster size, the type of debris, the rental length, and the landfill disposal fees. Below, you'll find our prices, Denver's street permit rules, what Colorado landfills turn away, and where Denver trash ends up.

In Denver, a few details decide how much your rental costs.
Start with size. The right container holds the whole job, so you don't pay for a second haul.
Then look at weight. Brick, plaster, and hail-damaged shingles are heavy. They use up the included tonnage fast, so let us know about them up front.
The landfill trip is part of the price too. A lot of Denver trash heads out east to a large landfill near Gun Club Road, well beyond the city center. Those disposal fees are built into every load.
Street placement can add a step. If the container has to go in the street, the dumpster company needs a City permit, and there are rules about where it can sit.

Match the size to the amount of debris and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is a fit for a bathroom remodel, a small garage teardown, or broken concrete from a patio. Dense material hits the weight limit before it fills the space, so a small container is right for it.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a basement or garage cleanout, carpet removal, or a kitchen update. It adds room without a big jump in cost.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is one of the most common picks in Denver for whole-house cleanouts and multi-room remodels. It also handles most roof tear-offs after a hailstorm.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits big renovations, pop-tops, and new homes. It holds the framing lumber, drywall, and packaging larger jobs create.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest size. Contractors use it for commercial work, full scrape-and-rebuild demolition, and large cleanouts.

If the dumpster sits on private property, like your driveway or backyard off the alley, you usually won't need a City permit in Denver. Once it goes in the street, a permit is required.
Denver calls it a Revocable Street Occupancy Permit, and the dumpster company applies for it. The company must also hold a Denver right-of-way dumpster license first. The City asks for five business days to process the permit.
Placement rules are strict. The container must sit at least 20 feet from any corner, alley, or entrance. It can't block a sidewalk, tree lawn, travel lane, alley, or no-parking zone. A single permit covers up to two containers, and a container can stay in the street for no more than 180 days in a year.
For questions, call Denver's permit operations team at 303-446-3759. Your account manager can help you find the right contact and handle the permit with the hauler.
Most remodeling, roofing, and cleanout debris is fine for a roll-off. Colorado's landfill rules set the limits.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment keeps several items out of landfills. That list includes car batteries, used oil, liquid waste, and tires. It also covers electronics like TVs and computers.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. Appliances with refrigerant need separate handling, so mention them when you book.
If you're unsure about something, ask your account manager before it goes in the container.
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.
Denver's weekly trash carts are made for household bags, not remodel debris. A roll-off carries the whole job away in one trip.
One of the main landfills serving the city is the Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site, a large site northeast of Gun Club Road and East Hampden Avenue. According to the state health department, the City and County of Denver owns the older Lowry Landfill next door. A private company runs the operation.
Some loads go to other permitted landfills or to recyclers for clean concrete and metal, depending on the hauler and the material. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and explain the disposal costs before delivery.
Most Denver rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery in a 24 to 48 hour window. If the container needs street space, book at least a week ahead so the permit can clear. Early booking can also save you money.
A few tips for a smooth delivery:
Landfill hours vary, so ask your account manager about pickup timing if you'll finish on a weekend.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves all of Denver, including the southwest neighborhoods of Westwood, Barnum, Mar Lee, Harvey Park, Athmar Park, and Ruby Hill along Federal Boulevard, Sheridan Boulevard, and Alameda Avenue. We plan delivery, pickup, and disposal around your project.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll help you pick a size, handle any street permit with the hauler, and give you a clear price.
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.
Denver dumpster rentals start at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and reach $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. Debris weight and landfill fees can change the total. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
Renting usually wins for anything bigger than a pickup load. The main landfill sits far out on the east side, so each trip takes time, gas, and a fee. One roll-off holds the whole project and leaves in a single haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up roughly a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have space for a bed frame, a bookcase, and boxes. Furniture fills the container well before it gets close to the weight limit.
Keep hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos out of your Denver dumpster. Colorado landfills also refuse car batteries, used oil, tires, TVs, and computers. Tell your account manager about any appliances with refrigerant before delivery.
Our 10-yard dumpster is the lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. The debris still decides your total. A small container full of brick or roofing can pass its weight limit quickly. Keeping heavy material in a separate load helps you avoid overage fees.
Three days usually costs the same as five, since our prices are set by the job instead of the day. How much your debris weighs matters more than how long you keep it. Ask your account manager about the included tonnage and extra weight charges.
Most household and construction debris is allowed. That includes lumber, drywall, plaster, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and cardboard. Concrete and brick are fine too, though a smaller container works best for them. Your account manager can check anything you're not sure of.
