Dumpster rental
in Buena Vista.

Buena Vista has no Town trash utility in its fee schedule, so a roll-off is a private rental, and none of the three companies we found posts a price. Get written quotes that state the rental days, included tons and overage rate. Keep the box on your lot, keep it covered with food waste out to satisfy the Town's 2021 wildlife rules, and call Public Works before any street placement. For a pickup load, the county landfill's $64-per-ton rate may beat a rental.

The first decision in Buena Vista

Match the terms to your project.

None of the three publishes prices or included weight. WM lists 15 to 30 yards (with conflicting 40-yard mentions) and a Bagster option. Apex has a Chaffee County office at a Buena Vista address but caps heavy debris such as concrete and shingles at one cubic yard per box and adds 2% for card payments. All Valley Rolloffs names Buena Vista but is based in Alamosa and adds a mileage fee beyond 35 miles of Mosca.

Your local checklist
  1. Confirm the address is inside Buena Vista town limits; much of the 81211 ZIP code is unincorporated Chaffee County, where Town permits and the Town's wildlife article do not apply.
  2. If the container must go in a street or alley, call Buena Vista Public Works (719-395-6898) at least seven business days ahead and ask whether the $30 Excavation / Right-of-Way Construction / Street Closure permit or another permit covers a roll-off.
  3. Ask each hauler for a tarp or lid, keep food and wrappers out of the box under Sections 7-55 and 7-58, and ask Apex whether shingles or concrete exceed its one-cubic-yard heavy-debris limit before you load them.

It bars hazardous waste, liquids, appliances, tires, batteries, electronics, propane tanks and dirt. Nothing on permits or street placement.

Buena Vista's right-of-way permit form covers street work and closures but does not mention dumpsters

The Town's Application for Excavation / Right-of-Way Construction / Street Closure (revised February 1, 2025) must reach Public Works at least seven business days before any construction or disruption in a public street, alley, path or other right-of-way. It carries a $30 permit fee, requires a traffic control plan for work in the right-of-way, and expires 30 days after issuance unless the permit says otherwise; contractors working in the right-of-way must keep a Town business license and $1,000,000 liability certificate on file. The 2026 fee schedule separately lists a $150 temporary encroachment permit for short-term structures such as signs, fencing, retail displays and seating. Neither document names dumpsters or roll-off containers, and we did not find a Town rule on how long a container may sit in a street. Keep the box on your own property where you can, and call Public Works (719-395-6898) before any street placement to ask which permit applies. These rules cover only addresses inside Buena Vista town limits.

What matters locally

Chaffee County Landfill charges $64 a ton for construction debris and $250 a ton for unsorted loads

The county landfill at 16550 US Highway 285 near Salida (719-539-3738) is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and closes in high winds. Its tipping fees effective January 1, 2026 are $64 per ton for loose trash and for construction debris, shingles and stumps for in-county customers, or $20 per cubic yard by volume, with a $20 minimum; out-of-county rates are $245 per ton. Loads that are not sorted to landfill requirements pay a $250-per-ton 'dirty dumper' fee, and concrete is not accepted. Mattresses are $30 each, Freon appliances $50, other large appliances $15, and car tires without rims $11. Bring a photo ID to get the in-county rate.

Construction sites must keep debris in a closed, designated bin under the Town's wildlife rules

Buena Vista's Ordinance 17 (Series of 2021) added a garbage and wildlife article to Chapter 7 of the Municipal Code (Sections 7-51 to 7-58). Section 7-55 requires every construction site to have a designated collection bin whose contents stay inside and do not attract wildlife, and Section 7-58 says collection bins, which the ordinance defines to include dumpsters, must be kept closed and secured when nothing is being added. The ordinance does not require a bear-proof roll-off, but an open-top box with food scraps or wrappers can be a violation, so ask the hauler for a tarp or lid and keep food waste out.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Buena Vista.

Does a roll-off in Buena Vista have to be bear-proof?

Not specifically. Ordinance 17 (Series of 2021) added Sections 7-51 to 7-58 to the Municipal Code: every construction site must have a designated collection bin whose contents stay in and do not attract wildlife (7-55), and collection bins, defined to include dumpsters, must be kept closed and secured when waste is not being added (7-58). Damaged containers that let wildlife in must be repaired within 72 hours of a Town notice. Ask for a covered box and keep food waste out.

Do I need a permit to put a dumpster on a Buena Vista street?

Possibly, but the Town does not say so in writing. Public Works' Excavation / Right-of-Way Construction / Street Closure application covers construction and disruptions in any street, alley or right-of-way, must be filed seven business days ahead, costs $30 and lasts 30 days, and the 2026 fee schedule lists a $150 temporary encroachment permit for short-term structures. Neither mentions dumpsters. Ask Public Works which applies before booking street placement.
