Colorado / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Clifton.

Clifton is unincorporated Mesa County, so no town permit or required hauler applies outside Grand Junction's annexed areas, and several Grand Junction-area companies deliver here. Confirm your parcel is not inside Grand Junction city limits, keep the box off the County road, and plan to cover it and have it hauled promptly: County rules want rubbish in tightly closed containers and removed regularly. GJ Roll Away is the only company with posted prices; Bruin works out of a yard on 32 Road.

The first decision in Clifton

Match the terms to your project.

GJ Roll Away is the price-transparent choice ($280 to $425 for 15- or 20-yard boxes, $50-a-ton overage, $10 extra days) but stops at 20 yards and gives conflicting rental lengths. Bruin is the local yard in Clifton with 12- to 30-yard boxes but posts no prices or terms. WM has a 10-foot 15-yard box for heavy material and offers daily-to-monthly rentals, without posted prices. Trash Daddy posts the most generous terms (14 days, 1 to 4 tons, up to 40 yards) but no prices or local address.

Your local checklist

Look up your parcel on the Mesa County Assessor's map before booking: a Clifton 81520 mailing address does not prove the parcel is outside Grand Junction city limits, where the City's own trash rules apply.
Choose a spot on your driveway or lot, not the shoulder of 32 Road or another County road, and keep it clear of irrigation laterals and roadside ditches; Mesa County offers no dumpster permit for its right-of-way.
Ask the supplier for a tarp or cover and a firm pickup date: the County's Land Development Code calls for tightly closed containers, and Ordinance 15 requires accumulated rubbish to be removed at least weekly.

Rental & weight terms: The home page gives conflicting rental periods: 2 to 5 days on the price cards, 2 to 7 days in the 'Flexible Rentals' section, and '4 full days' under 'How It Works'.

Grand Junction company (the site lists 2785 Riverside Pkwy and 730 Scarlet Dr #5, Grand Junction) whose service-area page puts Clifton in its Core Zone with standard delivery included, and whose home page lists 81520 among its standard ZIP codes. The only company here with posted prices, and the only one that lets you pay the landfill yourself. Ask which rental period applies, and whether the 'dump fees included' price has a tonnage cap before the $50-a-ton overage begins.

Bruin Waste Management (Mesa and Garfield office)

Published sizes: 12, 20 and 30 yards (sizes vary by region, per its dumpster rentals page)
Rental & weight terms: Not published. The rentals page says each rental has a standard period that staff give you when you order, extra days cost 'a small fee', and loads above the fill line may have to be trimmed at extra cost. No included weight or per-ton overage is posted.
Price basis: Not published; request a quote through the website form or call 970-285-9565 (Mesa and Garfield).

Western Slope hauler whose Mesa and Garfield page gives its office as 460 32 Road, Clifton (spelled 'Cliffton' on the page), so the yard is inside the community.

03 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

WM (Waste Management)

Published sizes: The Clifton page lists 15 yards (7'11" W x 4'7" H x 10' long, for heavy material such as concrete), 20 yards (7' W x 3'6" H x 21'11") and 30 yards (8' W x 5' H x 22'); its FAQ instead names 20-, 30- and 40-yard options.

Price basis: Not published; online quote, or call 855-400-8818.

National hauler with a Clifton-specific rental page; its Clifton services page also offers Bagster bags and residential trash service. That services page wrongly mentions a 'City of Clifton' solid waste department; Clifton has no city government. Its 15-yard box is only 10 feet long, which can help on a short driveway.

Mesa County has no dumpster permit for its roads; plan to keep a Clifton roll-off on your own property

Outside Grand Junction city limits, Clifton's streets, such as the numbered roads, are Mesa County roads. Mesa County's Public Works permits page lists six permit types (annual aerial maintenance, construction stormwater, oversize/overweight, roadway special event, surface alteration, and underground/utility). None covers a dumpster, roll-off or other temporary container. The closest one, the Surface Alteration permit ($25, apply through the Mesa County Portal at least 15 working days ahead), is for landscaping, sidewalks, curb and gutter, and driveway improvements. The County's Road and Right-of-Way Use Regulations (revised May 2012) require permits for excavation and for installing utilities and other structures in County right-of-way, and Section 2.0 lets the County seek fees, damages, an injunction or criminal charges for any 'unauthorized obstruction or use' of a County road or right-of-way. We found no County rule that allows a dumpster on a County road or shoulder, and none that expressly forbids one. Treat the road and its shoulder as off-limits unless Public Works approves otherwise in writing, and keep the box on your driveway or lot, clear of irrigation ditches. Questions go to Mesa County Public Works Administration, 970-244-1765 or PubWksAdmin@mesacounty.us.

Mesa County Landfill on US 50: $32 a ton for loose loads and demolition debris

If you are hauling a trailer yourself, the Mesa County Landfill at 3071 US Highway 50 (south of the Colorado River from Clifton) charges $32 a ton for residential loose trash and for demolition debris, with a $10 minimum for loads up to 380 pounds. Mattresses and box springs are $20 each, and car or truck tires are $6 each without a rim and $12 with one. Clean soil is free. Uncovered or unsecured loads are charged double. The landfill does not take hazardous or liquid waste, appliances with refrigerant, universal waste such as fluorescent bulbs, batteries and electronics, or waste from outside Mesa County. It is open Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Phone 970-241-6846.

Hazardous waste and freon appliances go to the County collection facility, not the roll-off

Paint, solvents, automotive fluids, batteries, fluorescent tubes, pesticides and pool chemicals go to the Mesa County Hazardous Waste Collection Facility at the same 3071 US-50 site, open Wednesday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. (970-256-9543). It is free for Mesa County households within set limits, for example up to 50 gallons of paint-related materials. Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners are $65 each, and electronics are 80 cents a pound. Non-residents pay a $35 fee plus per-pound charges.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Clifton.

Can I put the roll-off on the road in front of my Clifton house?

We found no way to do that legally. Mesa County's permits page covers aerial, stormwater, oversize-load, special-event, surface-alteration and utility work, and none of these is for a dumpster. The County's Road and Right-of-Way Use Regulations let it seek fees, damages or criminal charges for unauthorized obstruction or use of a County road or right-of-way. Put the box on your own driveway or lot, or call Mesa County Public Works at 970-244-1765 if there is truly no room.

Does Mesa County have rules about how long debris can sit in a dumpster on my lot?

Yes, general ones, though none names roll-offs. Section 6.06 D of the Mesa County Land Development Code says rubbish, trash and debris must be kept in tightly closed containers or enclosed structures and removed to an approved disposal site at least once a calendar month. Ordinance 15 (2023) defines rubbish to include construction and demolition leftovers and requires accumulated rubbish to be removed at least once a week. Enforcement starts with a written notice to cure, normally 30 days. Keep the box covered and schedule the haul-away as soon as the job is done.
