At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Palmer Lake, Colorado, and the Tri-Lakes area of northern El Paso County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Mountain cabins getting updated, wildfire mitigation and tree work on wooded lots, and new construction along the Highway 105 corridor keep roll-off containers in demand for homeowners and contractors.
Your total depends on the container size, the kind of debris, the length of the rental, and the disposal fees where the load is dropped. The sections below cover price ranges, Town rules for streets, items to keep out, and where your waste goes.

A handful of things decide what a Palmer Lake rental ends up costing.
Size is the first. Picking a container that holds the whole job in one trip is almost always cheaper than paying for a second haul.
Weight is the second. Stone, brick, concrete, and roofing shingles are heavy, and disposal is charged by weight at the scale. Mattresses, refrigerators, and freezers carry their own handling charges, so mention them when you call.
Location matters as well. Palmer Lake sits in the foothills with steep, narrow streets, and most of the Town's roads are gravel. A flat, firm spot for the container makes delivery smoother and helps avoid delays.
Disposal is close by. Many loads from Palmer Lake go to a self-service transfer station in Monument, just a few miles away, which keeps travel time down.

Choose based on how much debris you expect and how dense it is. Branches and furniture take up room, while rock and concrete add weight quickly.
The 10-Yard Dumpster fits a bathroom update, a deck board replacement, or a small cleanout. It's the best choice for rock, concrete, or brick, because heavy material hits the weight limit before the container fills up.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a garage or cabin cleanout, a kitchen remodel, or a small roof. It gives you more room without a big jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is a solid pick for clearing out a whole home, remodeling a few rooms, or pulling carpet and flooring throughout a house.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits new home construction, large additions, and demolition projects with a wide mix of materials.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest container, built for commercial construction, major tear-downs, and big property cleanups that create a lot of waste.
Tell your account manager about your project, and they'll help you choose a container that fits.
If the dumpster goes on private property, such as your driveway or a building lot, you usually won't need a permit. Any placement on a Town street, alley, or sidewalk is a different matter.
The Town of Palmer Lake treats any work in the public right-of-way as something that needs Town approval, either through a building permit or formal authorization from the Town. Its Public Works page explains those right-of-way rules.
The Town doesn't list a separate dumpster permit or fee. Call Palmer Lake Public Works at 719-481-2953 before you place a container in a street. The office is open Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
With so many narrow and unpaved roads in town, keeping the container on your own property is usually the simplest route. If you're not sure where your property line ends, your account manager can help you reach the right Town contact.
Most construction and household debris can go in. The limits come from Colorado's landfill rules and the rules at the transfer station that takes your load.
Colorado law has banned electronics from landfills since 2013, so TVs, monitors, and computers can't go in the trash. The Boulder County electronics page explains the statewide ban in plain terms.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster. The Monument transfer station also refuses batteries, wet paint, tires, automotive fluids, household chemicals, propane tanks, and old tube TVs.
For paint, chemicals, and car fluids, the Town points residents to the El Paso County Household Hazardous Waste Facility, which is free for county residents.
If there's something you're not sure about, check with 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.
Many loads from Palmer Lake go to Peak Disposal & Recycling, a self-service transfer station at 856 Washington St, Monument, CO 80132. It lists Palmer Lake in its service area and charges by weight. It's open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It's closed on Sundays.
Its sister site, Woodmen Dump, sits at 8808 Cliff Allen Pt., Colorado Springs, CO 80908 and keeps the same hours. Both sites take construction debris, furniture, and yard waste. You can see the accepted items on the Peak Disposal page.
Being this close to a transfer station helps keep costs and travel down. Your account manager will confirm which site takes your load and walk you through any fees before delivery.

We can typically schedule a Palmer Lake delivery within one to two business days, with the truck arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. Booking a little earlier gives you time to get Town approval if you need it and to choose a good drop spot.
Some tips before the truck arrives:
Keep the transfer station schedule in mind, too. Both sites are closed on Sundays, so a container you fill over the weekend will usually be hauled on Monday.

Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll help you pick a size, check the best drop spot for your street, and give you a straightforward 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.
Our Palmer Lake prices run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard dumpster up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard, based on a five-day rental. The debris you load and the disposal fees at the transfer station also affect the total. Your account manager will confirm included tonnage and overage rates before delivery.
For a small load, a trip to the Monument transfer station can make sense. For a remodel or a large cleanout, a dumpster usually costs less once you add up several trips, fuel, and your time. You load at your own pace, and we haul everything in one go.
Yes. A typical three-seat couch uses about one-fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's still room for chairs, a mattress, and boxes. Furniture takes up space without much weight, so you'll run out of room before you reach the weight limit.
You can't load hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, batteries, automotive fluids, propane tanks, or asbestos. Electronics are banned from Colorado landfills, and tires are refused at the local transfer station. Mattresses and refrigerators have extra handling charges, so tell your account manager about them when you book.
The 10-yard dumpster is our lowest-priced option, at $399 to $499. How much you pay still depends on what goes in. Rock, concrete, and shingles can put a small container over its weight allowance, so separating heavy material can help you keep costs down.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as five days, since we price rentals by the job and not by the day. The weight of your debris matters much more than the rental length. Ask your account manager how much weight is included and what overage costs.
Most home and building debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and brush from tree work. Concrete, brick, and rock are fine as well, though they're heavy and best kept in their own load. When you're unsure about an item, ask your account manager before you load it.
