At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Grand Junction, Colorado, and the surrounding Mesa County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Growth on the Redlands and in the North Area, remodels in older downtown homes, and steady commercial and residential construction across the Grand Valley keep containers in demand.
Your price depends on the container size, the kind of debris, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees at the county landfill. Below, we explain our price ranges, the City's right-of-way permit, and what the Mesa County Landfill won't accept.

In Grand Junction, a few simple things decide what your rental costs.
Size matters first. The right container holds the whole project in one go, which is cheaper than calling for an extra haul.
Weight matters next. Adobe, stucco, river rock, and concrete are heavy and eat into your weight allowance quickly. Tires are charged by the piece at the landfill, so mention them when you book.
Then comes disposal. Grand Junction loads go to the Mesa County Landfill on US-50. The county posts a disposal fee of $32 per ton for loose trash and demolition debris, and those fees are part of what you pay for a dumpster.
Placement can matter too. A container in a City street, alley, or sidewalk needs a right-of-way permit, and that permit comes with its own fee and paperwork. A driveway spot skips all of that.
Perfect For:
Weight Limit: Up to 2 tons (4,000 lbs)
Bags of Trash: Approximately 50-70 large trash bags.
Truck Loads: Roughly 3 pickup truck loads.

Match the container to the amount of debris and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents sizes from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest. Pick it for a bathroom remodel, a small landscape tear-out, or a pile of old concrete or brick. Heavy material maxes out the weight before it fills the space, so the small size is often the best value.
The 15-Yard Dumpster works for mid-size jobs. It fits a garage cleanout, flooring removal, or a roof tear-off on a smaller house.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a go-to size for whole-house cleanouts and remodels covering several rooms. Many Grand Junction homeowners find it gives them just enough space.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is made for large renovations, additions, and new home builds. It's the size to consider when several crews are adding debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the biggest we carry. It fits commercial construction, demolition, and large cleanouts of bulky, lighter items.
Can't decide? Share your plans with your account manager, and they'll help you pick a size.
When the dumpster sits on private property, like a driveway or an open lot you own, you typically won't need a permit in Grand Junction. That changes if any part of it sits in the public right-of-way.
The City of Grand Junction requires a Construction Within Public Right-of-Way permit for work in its alleys, curbs, gutters, streets, sidewalks, and utility easements. The City's permits page includes any activity that blocks traffic or people on foot, which covers a container in the street.
The application fee is due when you apply. The City also asks for a traffic control plan from a professional traffic control company and a map showing where the container will sit. Give yourself time to pull those together before your delivery date.
For questions, call the Engineering Division at 970-256-4082. Your account manager can help you figure out whether your spot is in the right-of-way and who to talk to.
Most building debris and household junk can go in a dumpster. The limits come from the Mesa County Landfill, which takes the loads from Grand Junction.
The landfill won't accept hazardous waste or liquid waste. It also turns away universal waste, which includes fluorescent bulbs, batteries, and electronics like TVs and computers. Appliances that hold refrigerants such as Freon can't go in either.
Asbestos is treated as special waste and needs approval before it arrives, so it can't go in a standard dumpster. The same goes for paint, solvents, and fuel.
The county also refuses waste from outside Mesa County, which isn't an issue for local jobs but matters for loads from farther away.
If you're not sure about an item, ask your account manager before you load it.
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.
Dumpster loads from Grand Junction go to the Mesa County Landfill at 3071 US-50, Grand Junction, CO 81503. It's run by Mesa County Solid Waste Management.
The landfill is open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. It may close when high winds make the working area unsafe. Every load has to be tarped and secured before it arrives.
The county's landfill page lists fees and the full prohibited list. Because the county posts its fees, you can see what disposal costs before your project starts. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and walk you through any fees before delivery.

Open Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.
Most Grand Junction rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, and the container arrives in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a few days ahead leaves room for a right-of-way permit and a traffic control plan if you need them. It can also help your budget.
Keep these tips in mind:
The landfill closes on Sundays, and it can shut early on windy days. A container filled late in the week may wait until the next open day to be hauled.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll size the container, explain the landfill fees, and give you an honest price on the call.
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.
Grand Junction 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. Debris type and the county landfill's fees also play a part. Your account manager will confirm included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For a light pickup load, driving to the landfill yourself can be cheaper. For larger jobs, a dumpster usually saves money. The landfill charges a minimum on every trip, and the drive out US-50, fuel, and loading time add up quickly over many runs.
Yes. A typical three-seat couch fills about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's still room for a bed frame, a recliner, and boxes. Furniture takes space more than weight, so you'll fill the container before reaching its limit.
Don't load hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, or asbestos. The Mesa County Landfill also refuses batteries, fluorescent bulbs, electronics, and appliances with Freon or other refrigerants. Tell us about tires before you load them, since they're billed separately.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. Your total still depends on the weight of what you load. Concrete, rock, and tile can quickly push a small container over its limit, so keep heavy debris in its own load when you can.
Three days typically costs about the same as five, because we price rentals by the job and not by the day. Weight has a bigger impact on your bill than the length of the rental. Ask your account manager how much tonnage is included before delivery.
Most household and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general cleanout junk. Concrete, brick, and soil are fine too, although they're heavy. If you're unsure about an item, check with your account manager before you load it.
