These are the typical price ranges for roll-off dumpster rental in the Denver metro, based on standard 7- to 10-day rentals from local operators. Pricing includes delivery, pickup, dump fees, and the weight allowance for that size. Overage fees apply if you exceed the included tonnage.
| Size | Typical Cost | Best For | Weight Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $280 - $395 | Small cleanouts, single-room remodels, small roofs | 2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $345 - $515 | Most common — renovations, mid-size roofs, garage cleanouts | 3 tons |
| 30 Yard | $415 - $580 | Whole-home cleanouts, large renovations, new construction | 4 tons |
| 40 Yard | $490 - $685 | Major construction debris, commercial demolition, large cleanouts | 5-6 tons |
Three factors set the floor on dumpster rental costs in Denver:
Seasonal note for Denver: Winter storms can push pickup and delivery windows out by a day or two, and snow-covered debris piles are harder to weigh accurately at the yard. Booking a few days ahead of a winter project gives operators room to work around weather.
The dumpster rental requests we see most often from Denver are:
Each of these has different weight characteristics. Roofing tear-offs are heavy for their volume — a 20 yard full of shingles often hits the weight cap. Furniture and household goods are light and fluffy — you can usually pack a 20 yard to the rim without hitting the limit. Size for both the volume of debris and its expected weight, not just one.
A right-of-way permit is required from the City and County of Denver — Public Works for street placement. Driveway placement is permit-free.
The most common mistake: assuming your operator handles the permit. Most don't. Always confirm in writing whether the permit is included in the quote or if you're responsible for pulling it yourself. Denver's processing window runs 2-5 business days, so plan ahead — especially for street placements in denser neighborhoods like Capitol Hill or RiNo where driveway space is limited.

Get My Denver QuoteMost local operators in Denver can deliver within 24-48 hours during normal demand. During peak construction season or after a winter storm, expect 3-5 days. If you need it sooner, mention "same-day if possible" when you submit a quote — some operators reserve capacity for rush requests.
Standard rental windows in Denver are 7-14 days. Extensions are usually $10-$20 per day. If you know you'll need it longer, ask about a long-term rate before booking — it's almost always cheaper than extending after the fact.
Universal restrictions: tires, batteries, hazardous waste, paint (liquid), asbestos, refrigerators with refrigerant, mattresses (in some areas), electronics. Each operator may have additional restrictions — confirm before loading.
No, as long as you've clearly marked the placement spot and there's a path for the truck to access it. Most operators in Denver will deliver to a vacant property as long as access is confirmed.
The operator weighs the load at the landfill or transfer station and charges for the excess. Some operators allow you to remove material to get under the limit before pickup — ask if that's an option if you're close.
No permit is needed if the dumpster sits entirely on your driveway or private property. Street placement requires a right-of-way permit from Denver Public Works ($40-$100, 2-5 business days). Many operators will pull the permit for you — ask when you book.
