The first decision in Colorado Springs
Match the terms to your project.
Bargain Bins advertises a longer included period and lower base prices, but adds a surcharge and has conflicting overage terms. Merit publishes shorter packages and clear extension charges. A base-price comparison alone misses those differences.
Your local checklist
Separate qualifying yard debris and household chemicals, then check each drop-off program’s acceptance before estimating the remaining volume.
Ask Bargain Bins to resolve its weight-sheet conflict and provide the final surcharge; match Merit’s quote to the same days, material and expected weight.
Confirm the address is inside Colorado Springs, mark the delivery footprint and arrange Land Use Review approval before using the public right-of-way.
Listings are an editorial starting point, not a complete market ranking. Supplier-published amounts are not Dumpsterly quotes. Confirm address eligibility, material acceptance, dates and the full delivered total.
01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING
Merit Dumpster Rentals
Published sizes
15 and 20 yards
Rental & weight terms
Both include delivery, pickup and 2 tons. Excess weight: $60/ton. Additional days, subject to availability: $30 for 15 yards or $35 for 20 yards.
Price basis
Colorado Springs rates: 15 yards $350/3 days or $395/5 days; 20 yards $380/3 days or $425/5 days.
Lists household junk, furniture, wood and drywall. Ask first about roofing, concrete, soil, rock, mattresses and appliances; special-item charges may apply. Hazardous waste, liquids and batteries are excluded.
Up to 7 days; included weight is 3,000, 4,000 and 5,000 lb respectively. Standard extension pricing was not established.
Price basis
Advertised base rates: $230 (12 yd), $255 (15 yd), $295 (20 yd), plus a $35–$60 environmental/fuel surcharge. Confirm the address-specific total.
Its linked weight sheet says 5¢/lb overage and a 9,000-lb total limit; the material page says 4¢/lb and 7,500 lb. Both state a separate 2,000-lb heavy-material limit. Resolve these conflicts in writing before loading.
Ask for delivery, pickup, included tons and days, per-ton overage, extra-day charges, fuel, tax, prohibited-item fees, swaps and blocked-trip charges. “Quote required” means the reviewed source did not establish a usable fixed total.
Use Colorado Springs’ temporary surface permit process for public placement
The City identifies dumpsters as a temporary surface use of the public right-of-way. Contact Land Use Review at 719-385-5905 or planningdev@coloradosprings.gov before delivery. The City requires unobstructed vehicle and pedestrian movement; its application checklist asks for the container’s position and dimensions, nearby curbs, sidewalks and rights-of-way. Confirm the current fee, review time and any other approvals for the exact location. This City process is not permission for an unincorporated El Paso County address.
The County’s Rocky Top Resources program offers Saturday residential yard-waste drop-off for El Paso and Teller County residents, 8 a.m.–4 p.m., for $10 per load paid by cash or check. It excludes sod, dirt, topsoil, stumps, treated lumber and household trash; pine needles carry additional fees. Confirm load acceptance at 719-579-9103.
Use the Akers Drive facility for household chemicals
The County facility at 3255 Akers Drive serves El Paso and Teller County households with proof of residency. It lists paint, batteries, cleaners and specified electronics; furniture, mattresses and ordinary trash are excluded. Large loads need preapproval, including 50 or more items. Business waste follows a separate process.
Can a Colorado Springs landscaping cleanup use the Saturday yard-waste program instead of a dumpster?
For eligible residential loads, yes: the County lists a $10 Saturday service at Rocky Top Resources. It accepts items such as branches, grass and leaves, but excludes soil, sod and stumps. Branches are limited to 8 feet long and 8 inches in diameter. Ask about pine-needle fees and the actual load before traveling.
Can I take an old toilet from a Colorado Springs bathroom remodel to the County recycling facility?
Do not plan on the former porcelain route: the County says that program ended in March 2025. Ask the hauler to include the fixture in the rental quote; Bargain Bins lists toilets among accepted materials. Keep paint and chemicals separate for the household hazardous-waste program.
