At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Lakewood, Colorado, and the surrounding Jefferson County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s getting kitchens, baths, and roofs redone, basement finishes across Green Mountain and Belmar, and commercial construction along West Colfax and Union Boulevard keep roll-off containers busy for homeowners and contractors alike.
Four things decide your price: the container size, what you load, how long you keep it, and the cost of getting that load to a facility that will take it. Below you will find our ranges, how Lakewood and Jefferson County handle containers in the street, and a short list of what Colorado keeps out of a landfill.

Here is what moves a Lakewood quote.
Size comes first. A larger container costs more up front and still beats the alternative, which is filling a small one early and paying for a second haul.
Weight is close behind. Concrete patios, flagstone, tile, and old roofing are dense, and disposal is billed by the ton. A 10-yard container of concrete can outweigh a 30-yard container of drywall and cabinets, so we ask about material before quoting.
Placement matters here in a way it does not everywhere. Lakewood driveways vary a lot, and some streets are county right-of-way even though the address says Lakewood. If the container has to sit in a public street, that is a permit and a fee before delivery, not after.
Sorting can save you real money. Keeping a clean concrete or dirt load separate from mixed debris usually opens a cheaper disposal route. Your account manager can walk through whether splitting the job into two loads pencils out.

Pick by the amount of debris first, then sanity check the weight. We carry five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest container. It fits a bathroom, a small deck teardown, or a patio removal. It is the right call for concrete, flagstone, and soil, which reach the weight limit while the container still looks half empty, and it drops neatly into a typical Lakewood driveway.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a packed garage, a flooring tear-out, or a small roof. You gain useful room without moving into a much larger container.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size most Lakewood homeowners book. It handles a basement finish, a full house cleanout, or a remodel across several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for additions, new builds, and commercial tenant work. Choose it when debris keeps coming for days and a mid-job swap would slow the crew down.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It suits demolition, warehouse and shop cleanouts, and sites that fill a container faster than anyone can sort.
Caught between two? Give your account manager the square footage and the drop spot and they will tell you which one to book.
A container that sits on private property, such as your own driveway or inside a fenced job site, generally needs no permit here. The answer changes the moment it occupies a public street or right-of-way.
Jefferson County is direct about it. A right-of-way use permit is required when placing a dumpster, roll-off, or other container on a public street in the county. You apply online, allow 48 hours for review, and each permit costs $50.00, with an extra 2.5% if you pay by card. The Transportation and Engineering Division handles it from 100 Jefferson County Parkway in Golden, and the number there is 303-271-8495. The county may also ask for a job-specific bond depending on the work.
Inside the Lakewood city limits, the City runs its own permitting and inspections through the Public Works Department, using an online system for homeowners and contractors alike. The permit counter answers at 303-987-7500, and contractors have to be registered with the City before they can pull anything.
The tricky part is knowing which set of rules covers your address, since county right-of-way and city streets both run through this area. Your account manager can help you work that out before you commit to a delivery date.
Most household and construction debris loads without any trouble. The limits come from Colorado's disposal rules and from ordinary safety.
The state keeps a short list of materials that may not go to a landfill. It covers lead-acid batteries, liquid waste or anything holding free liquids, used oil, waste tires, and electronic devices and computers. That last one catches people out, since old televisions and monitors turn up in nearly every basement cleanout.
Hazardous waste is out of every container as well. That means paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, pool chemicals, and asbestos. Appliances holding refrigerant need to be handled separately too.
Jefferson County residents have a good local option for all of it. The Rooney Road Recycling Center, owned and operated by a coalition of cities and towns in the county, takes household chemicals, solvents, paint, fertilizer, used oil, and electronics. Appointments are needed for household hazardous material, and the number is 303-316-6262.
Set those items aside before the container is loaded. If something has you unsure, ask your account manager rather than risking a load being turned away.
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.
Lakewood sits close to several large permitted landfills on the west and east sides of the metro area, so the haul from most job sites here is short by Colorado standards. Which one takes your load depends on what is in it and where the container is picked up, and that is a detail we handle rather than something you need to chase down.
Material that a landfill will not take goes elsewhere. The Rooney Road Recycling Center is the county's own route for household chemicals, paint, used oil, and electronics, and it is run jointly by Jefferson County municipalities rather than by a private company. More than half of what arrives there is recycled or reused.
Because every landfill in this area charges by weight, what you load is the single biggest lever on your disposal cost. Your account manager will confirm the receiving facility for your job and explain the charges tied to your debris type before the truck rolls.
Most Lakewood rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking earlier helps, since a street placement needs county or city approval first and that review takes at least two days. Early booking can also save money.
Five things worth doing before delivery:
Weather is worth planning around too. A wet spring snow adds a lot of weight to an open container of drywall or yard debris, so covering the load on a bad-weather week can keep your bill down.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster provides dumpster rentals throughout Lakewood and the neighboring Jefferson County communities, from Belmar and the West Colfax corridor to Green Mountain, Applewood, Bear Creek, and the unincorporated pockets along the city's edges.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container to the job, sort out whether your spot needs a street permit, and give you a firm 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.
Dumpster rentals in Lakewood run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day rental. What you load moves the number too, since disposal is charged by weight. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage and the overage rate when you book.
For anything past a couple of pickup loads, renting wins. Self-hauling means a charge at the gate every trip, fuel, a borrowed truck or trailer, and hours spent driving. A container in the driveway lets you load whenever you have time and clears the whole job in one pickup.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes about a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving space for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. Household furniture uses volume rather than weight, so you will fill the container long before the weight allowance comes into play.
Colorado keeps lead-acid batteries, liquid waste, used oil, waste tires, and electronic devices out of landfills, so none of those go in a container. Paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, and asbestos are out too. Jefferson County's Rooney Road Recycling Center takes most of those items by appointment instead.
The 10-yard container starts lowest, at $399 to $499, and it is often the right pick for heavy material anyway. Concrete, flagstone, and soil reach the weight allowance quickly, so a small container of dense debris usually costs less than overloading a bigger one. Keeping heavy material separate helps.
Three days normally costs the same as our standard five-day rental, because we price by the job rather than by the calendar. Weight is the variable that actually changes your bill. Ask your account manager what tonnage the quote includes and what an extra ton costs before delivery.
Most home and construction debris is fine, including lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, cabinets, doors, siding, furniture, carpet, and general cleanout junk. Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt are accepted as well and often open a cheaper disposal route when kept separate. Run anything unusual past your account manager first.
