Dumpster rental
in Columbine.

Columbine has no town government, so the only street rule is Jefferson County's: a $50 temporary container permit, a parking-lane spot at least 20 feet from corners and driveways, reflective tape or a cone, and no arterial roads. If the box fits on your driveway, you avoid all of that. redbox+ is the one company here that posts prices and weights; get WM's and Budget Dumpster's terms in writing. Paint and chemicals go to Rooney Road, and tree limbs can go to the County's seasonal SLASH yard.

The first decision in Columbine

Match the terms to your project.

redbox+ publishes everything: $425 to $900, 7 days, 1 to 4 tons, $80 per extra ton and $30 per extra day, with short 10- and 15-yard boxes. WM has a Columbine page and full-size 15- to 30-yard boxes but publishes no price, weight allowance or rental length, and its own size list conflicts. Budget Dumpster is a booking service with the widest size range (10 to 40 yards) but no published terms, so ask who actually delivers.

Your local checklist

If you live on a busy through street rather than a residential side street, ask Jefferson County Transportation and Engineering whether it is classed as an arterial or collector before planning street placement: the County does not allow containers on arterials and generally not on collectors, so a driveway may be the only option.
If the box must go on the street, file Jefferson County's online Temporary Container Placement permit at least 48 hours before delivery, list realistic start and end dates, and make sure the box gets reflective tape on each corner or a cone and sits at least 20 feet from corners, alleys and driveways.
Confirm which county your address is in: most of Columbine is Jefferson County, but the small Arapahoe County portion falls under Arapahoe County's road rules, and a 'Littleton' mailing address does not mean the City of Littleton's permit applies.

Franchise branch at 9856 N Motsenbocker Rd, Parker. Its Denver South Metro home page lists Columbine (and Ken Caryl and Littleton) among the areas it serves; the prices come from the branch's prices page, which does not name Columbine, so confirm the rate for your address. Barred items include tires, electronics, paint cans, batteries, propane tanks, dirt and sod. No permit guidance on its pages; if the box goes on the street, ask whether redbox+ will file the Jefferson County container permit or whether you should.

National hauler with a Columbine, CO roll-off page. It says city or county permit costs are usually not included in the rental price and tells renters to ask about permits; it bars batteries, asbestos, chemicals and flammable liquids. Its size list is internally inconsistent, so confirm the exact box and dimensions when ordering.

A Columbine street dumpster needs Jefferson County's $50 temporary container permit, and the County limits where it can sit

Jefferson County requires a Right-of-Way Use and Construction Permit for Temporary Container Placement before a dumpster, roll-off or other container goes on a public street. The application is an online form on the County's Form Center; the fee is $50 per permit (plus 2.5% by credit card), the County asks for 48 hours to review, and it emails payment instructions. The form asks for the exact container location and estimated start and end dates. The rules sit in Section C of the County's Right-of-Way Use and Construction Permits and License Agreements policy (Policy 8.3.1, adopted November 2018): containers are not allowed on arterial roads and generally not along collectors, and an inspector evaluates the proposed spot before the permit issues; each box needs a 6-inch by 4-foot strip of reflective tape on every corner or a traffic cone; it must fit within a parking lane and sit at least 20 feet from any corner, alley or entrance; it may never block a sidewalk, tree lawn, travel lane, no-parking zone, loading zone or alley; it may stay in the right-of-way for no more than 180 days; and the rental company, the property owner or whoever is filling it may apply, with no more than two containers per application. The permittee pays for any cleanup or road damage. A box on your own driveway is not a right-of-way placement; the County pages we read do not address driveway placement at all. Questions go to Transportation and Engineering, 100 Jefferson County Parkway, Suite 3500, Golden (303-271-8495, Monday to Thursday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). If your home is in the small Arapahoe County part of Columbine, we could not reach an Arapahoe County dumpster rule, so ask Arapahoe County Public Works before putting a box on the street.

Jefferson County SLASH yard for tree limbs (seasonal)

Tree trimming does not need to fill a roll-off. Jefferson County's SLASH program takes tree limbs, prunings and pine cones at the Tincup Slash Yard next to Rooney Road for $24 per six-cubic-yard load (credit card only), from residents and non-residents alike. It does not take lumber, construction material, stumps or loose leaves. The 2026 season ended October 25; the County says the 2027 schedule will be posted before May 2027 (303-271-5925).

Questions about renting in Columbine.

Columbine isn't a city. Who gives permission to put a dumpster on my street?

On the Jefferson County side, the County's Transportation and Engineering Division does. Its Right-of-Way Use and Construction Permit for Temporary Container Placement costs $50, takes about 48 hours to review, and can be requested by the rental company, the homeowner or whoever is filling the box. County policy keeps containers off arterials and generally off collectors, limits them to a parking lane at least 20 feet from corners, alleys and entrances, requires reflective tape or a cone, and caps a stay at 180 days. Call 303-271-8495 with questions.
