Colorado / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Applewood.

Applewood is unincorporated Jefferson County, so the County, not Golden, Lakewood or Wheat Ridge, sets the rules unless your lot is actually inside one of those cities. Keep the box on your driveway and no County permit is involved; put it on a County street and you need a $50 temporary container permit, applied for at least 48 hours ahead, and the busier roads are off-limits. Neither of the two haulers that name Applewood posts prices, so you'll need written quotes from both.

The first decision in Applewood

Match the terms to your project.

Anderson & Son's is the Golden-based option with short 12-foot boxes from 6 to 15 yards, a stated 7-day rental and a published $40-per-day extension, but it caps loads at 2 tons and refuses dirt, concrete, brick and roofing shingles. 5280 Waste Solutions offers 10- to 40-yard boxes, including a closed-top 40, for bigger remodels and roofing jobs, but publishes no rental days, weight allowance or rates. Neither posts a price.

Your local checklist

Check jMap before booking: if your address shows Lakewood or Wheat Ridge right-of-way instead of Jefferson County's, follow that city's street-use rules, not the County permit.
If the box must go on the street, confirm with the County that your street is not an arterial or collector (busier roads are generally off-limits), keep it 20 feet from corners and driveways, and tape or cone each corner.
Book a Rooney Road appointment for paint, solvents and propane before the roll-off arrives; it is just west of Applewood and paint drop-off is free for Jeffco residents.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Anderson & Son's Roll-Offs

Published sizes: 6 yards (12' x 5' x 3'), 9 yards (12' x 5' x 4'6"), 10 yards (12' x 8' x 3'6"), 12 yards (12' x 6' x 5') and 15 yards (12' x 8' x 5')
Rental & weight terms: 7-day rental; $40 per day after seven days. The site says containers have a 2-ton maximum and that going over it brings additional charges, but it does not publish an included-weight figure separate from that maximum or a per-ton overage rate. It does not accept dirt, rock, concrete, brick, asphalt and tile shingles, large stumps, tires, hazardous liquids, paint, refrigerators or sod.
Price basis: Not published; call (303) 278-4528 for a written quote.

Family-owned, third-generation company based at 330 Allen St., Golden, CO 80401, which says it has served the Denver metro area since 1969. Applewood is the first name in its service-area list. All of its boxes are 12 feet long, so they suit a driveway, but the 15-yard top size and the ban on dirt, concrete and roofing shingles rule it out for a tear-off or landscaping job.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

5280 Waste Solutions

Published sizes: 10, 12, 20, 30 and 40 yards, plus a 40-yard closed-top container (dimensions not published on the Applewood page)
Rental & weight terms: Rental period, included weight, overage and extra-day rates are not published; the page says extra days, extra weight or extensions cost more. Request written terms.
Price basis: Not published; call (720) 884-0300 for a quote.

Has an Applewood-specific roll-off page and lists Applewood in its 38-community service area. The website gives 140 East 19th Avenue, Suite 200, Denver; the City of Lakewood's licensed commercial waste hauler list shows 5280 Waste Solutions LLC at 7010 Broadway, Suite 106, Denver, with roll-off service marked and a slightly different phone number (720-844-0300). Lakewood's list covers Lakewood, not unincorporated Applewood, and the City does not endorse anyone on it. The Applewood page also overstates the community's population and talks about a 'city' permit; on County streets, the Jefferson County permit is the one that applies. The company offers the largest boxes of the two.

Jefferson County permit ($50) for a roll-off on an Applewood street; none of its rules cover your own driveway

Because Applewood is unincorporated, its local streets are Jefferson County right-of-way, and the County's Transportation and Engineering Division issues a Right-of-Way Use and Construction Permit for Temporary Container Placement whenever a dumpster, roll-off or similar container goes on a public street. The fee is $50 per permit (plus 2.5% by credit card); apply online at least 48 hours ahead, and the County emails payment instructions after review. The application asks for your name, contact details, the placement location and estimated start and end dates; the roll-off company, the property owner or whoever is filling the box may apply. Under the County's right-of-way policy (Resolution CC18-377, Section C), an inspector reviews the spot before issuing the permit; containers are not allowed on arterials and generally not along collectors; the box must fit within the parking lane at least 20 feet from any corner, alley or entrance; it may not block a sidewalk, tree lawn, travel lane, no-parking zone or alley; each corner needs a 6-inch by 4-foot vertical strip of reflective tape or a traffic cone; the limit is 180 days and two containers per application; and the permit holder pays for any cleanup or road damage. State highways are excluded from County right-of-way and fall under CDOT. Use the County's jMap to confirm your frontage is County right-of-way and not Lakewood or Wheat Ridge. A box set entirely on your own driveway needs no right-of-way permit under this policy. We found no separate County zoning rule for temporary dumpsters on a private lot; see the questions below. Contact: Transportation and Engineering, 100 Jefferson County Parkway, Suite 3500, Golden, 303-271-8495 (Monday to Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

What matters locally

Household hazardous waste at Rooney Road, just west of Applewood

Paint thinner, chemicals, propane cylinders and electronics cannot go in a roll-off. The Rooney Road Recycling Center at 151 S. Rooney Road in Golden, a short drive west of Applewood, takes household hazardous waste by appointment on Wednesdays and Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jefferson County residents with proof of residency pay a $30 co-pay for up to 75 pounds and $2.03 per pound after that; latex and oil-based house paint, car batteries and motor oil are free; e-waste is $1.91 per pound. Residents who can't drive can book a $40 curbside pickup. Call 303-316-6262 or book online.

Jeffco SLASH yard for branches and brush (closed until spring 2027)

Tree limbs, prunings and pine cones from a yard cleanup can go to Jefferson County's SLASH program instead of filling a roll-off. The Tincup Slash Yard sits next to the Rooney Road Recycling Center, close to Applewood. A single load (six cubic yards) costs $24, paid by credit card only, and non-residents are accepted. Construction materials, lumber, stumps and loose leaves are not taken. The 2026 season ended on October 25, and the County says the 2027 schedule will be posted before May; call 303-271-5925 for details.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Applewood.

My Applewood address says Golden. Do I need a City of Golden permit to put a roll-off on the street?

Not if your street is unincorporated Jefferson County, which most of Applewood is. The Golden post office (ZIP 80401) serves Applewood, but that doesn't make the street City of Golden right-of-way. For a dumpster or roll-off on a County street, Jefferson County requires a Right-of-Way Use and Construction Permit for Temporary Container Placement: $50 per permit, applied for online at least 48 hours ahead, with an inspector approving the spot. The County's policy keeps containers off arterials and generally off collectors, in the parking lane, 20 feet from corners and entrances, for up to 180 days. If jMap shows your frontage is in Lakewood or Wheat Ridge, ask that city instead.

Does Applewood or Jefferson County require me to use a particular trash or roll-off company?

We found no such requirement. Applewood has no municipal government, and Jefferson County's list of ordinances and regulations includes nothing that licenses trash haulers, grants a trash franchise or limits who may collect. You can hire any roll-off company that serves the area. Lakewood does license haulers, but its list applies inside Lakewood city limits, not unincorporated Applewood. If you live in a townhome or condo community with an HOA, check its rules on container placement and timing before delivery.
