Dumpster rental
in Denver.

Denver's City crews handle carts and a large-item pickup every nine weeks, but construction materials are refused, so remodel debris needs a private roll-off or a paid transfer-station trip. Any company you hire must be a City-licensed waste hauler. Keep the box on your driveway if you can: on the street, only the container company can pull DOTI's permit, which starts at $125 for five days and takes about five business days.

The first decision in Denver

Start with an eligible hauler.

Two companies post Denver prices with included tonnage: Bin There Dump That's Denver West franchise rents small 4- to 20-yard driveway bins for $350 to $485 with 0.5 to 2.5 tons, while redbox+ Northeast Denver starts at $495 for a 20-yard with 3 tons and goes up to a 40-yard with 5 tons at $595, both for about a week. WM and Waste Connections offer up to 40 yards but publish no prices, and Budget Dumpster books through other haulers.

Your local checklist
  1. Ask the rental company for its Denver waste hauler license and compare the name against the City's licensed hauler list before you book.
  2. If the box must go on the street, have the container company file DOTI's Revocable Street Occupancy Permit at least 5 business days ahead and ask whether the $125-plus permit fee is in the quote; the box must sit in the parking lane 20 feet from corners, alleys and driveways.
  3. If your project needs a building permit filed on or after September 1, 2026 and exceeds the URCO size thresholds, get weight tickets for every load so you can document debris diversion and recover your deposit.

Only the container company can get Denver's street occupancy permit for a roll-off

Denver's Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) requires a Right-of-Way Revocable Street Occupancy Permit (RSOP) before any dumpster or container is placed in a street, and its information sheet says the dumpster or container company must obtain it, not the customer. The company first needs a ROW Dumpster License number from DOTI, then applies through the City's e-Permits portal with a traffic control plan; DOTI says to allow 5 business days. The container must sit in the parking lane at least 20 feet from any corner, alley or entrance, and may never block a sidewalk, tree lawn, travel lane, no-parking zone, loading zone or alley. One permit covers up to 40 linear feet of parking lane and no more than two containers, and a container may stay in the right-of-way no more than 180 days in any 12-month period. It needs reflective tape on each corner (or flashing barricades), the owner's name and phone on the box, and the permit visible at the property; metered spaces must be listed on the application. DOTI's consolidated fee schedule (effective January 1, 2024, the version linked from the permits page) lists a one-time residential street placement at $125 for the first 5 days plus $4.50 a day after that, $125 plus $7.50 a day on collector or arterial streets, and a $500 non-compliance fee. Companies may instead hold an annual plate permit, which is not accepted on arterial or collector streets or at meters. Ask your rental company whether the permit fee is in its quote. Questions go to DOTI Permit Operations at 303-446-3759 or dotipermitoperations@denvergov.org. A container on your own driveway is not covered by this permit.

What matters locally

City Large Item Pickup comes every nine weeks but skips construction materials

Denver Solid Waste Management picks up large items every nine weeks on your regular trash day: up to 5 large items and 10 bags (32 gallons and 50 pounds or less each) per service address, set out by 6 a.m. and at least 2 feet from carts and cars. Furniture, rugs, exercise equipment, mattresses (bagged) and bundled branches qualify. Construction materials such as concrete, bricks, fencing and pallets are refused, as are electronics, appliances, tires, paint, batteries, dirt and sod. Setting items out on other days counts as illegal dumping. Look up your date by address on the City's page or in the Denver Trash and Recycling app. Appliances go through a separate City collection; call 311 (720-913-1311).

Larger permitted projects must now divert debris from the landfill

Under Denver's Universal Recycling and Composting Ordinance, building permit applications first submitted on or after September 1, 2026 must meet debris reuse and recycling requirements when they involve new construction, additions or demolition over 500 square feet, or alterations over 2,500 square feet. Trade-only permits such as roofing, electrical and plumbing are exempt. Covered projects file a Waste Diversion Plan in Green Halo, pay a refundable security deposit (the City's page does not state the amount), and upload weight tickets within 60 days of the final permit; the page mentions a 50% diversion rate or a minimum of three materials. If your remodel is covered, ask the rental company for separate containers or weight tickets showing where the debris went. Questions: CDWasteDiversion@denvergov.org.

Private transfer stations take extra household trash for a fee

For loads too big for carts, the City's trash page points residents to privately run, fee-based drop-off sites: WM's D&R Transfer Station and All Recycling's North Transfer Station in north Denver, WM's Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site landfill to the east, and WM's South Metro Transfer Station and Waste Connections' Jordan Road Transfer Station to the south and southwest. The City lists no rates or addresses, so call ahead for hours and gate fees. A pickup-truck trip can beat a roll-off for a one-time cleanout.

Questions about renting in Denver.

Does the City of Denver rent roll-off dumpsters, and who can haul one?

We found no City roll-off service. Denver Solid Waste Management serves single-family homes and buildings of seven or fewer units with carts, Large Item Pickup every nine weeks and appliance collection, and refuses construction materials. Roll-offs come from private companies. The City's Waste Hauler Licensing page says every hauler collecting solid waste in Denver, including construction and demolition debris, needs a City license under D.R.M.C. Sec. 48-61, and the page lists licensed haulers by category, including Junk Removal/Dumpster Rental. Check that your company is on that list.

Can I get the street permit for my own dumpster in Denver?

No. DOTI's dumpster and container sheet says the Revocable Street Occupancy Permit must be obtained by the company placing the container, and that company must already hold a ROW Dumpster License. Allow 5 business days. DOTI's fee schedule lists $125 for the first five days on a residential street plus $4.50 a day after, or $7.50 a day after on collector and arterial streets. A container can stay in the right-of-way no more than 180 days in a 12-month period, and placing one without a permit can bring a $500 non-compliance fee.
