Dumpster rental
in Glenwood Springs.

Glenwood Springs' trash contract covers residential carts only, so a roll-off for a remodel or cleanout comes from a private hauler. Keep the box on your own property: the City's right-of-way permit form says dumpsters are not to be stored in City right-of-way. Because the City landfill charges much more for unsorted construction loads, ask each hauler how it prices mixed debris. For a small spring cleanout, the City's free landfill voucher may be enough.

The first decision in Glenwood Springs

Start with an eligible hauler.

Trash Daddy is the only one that posts terms: 14 days, 1 to 4 tons included by size and $25 extra days. But its Glenwood Springs page is really a Grand Junction page, so confirm delivery and any distance charge. Mountain Waste is the valley's local hauler and lists five sizes but no terms or prices. WM's Glenwood page posts no prices and gives conflicting size lists.

Your local checklist
  1. Confirm the address is inside Glenwood Springs city limits rather than unincorporated Garfield County before relying on City permit rules, the spring landfill voucher or the free HHW day.
  2. Plan to place the roll-off on your driveway or lot; if it truly must sit on a City street, email eng.permits@cogs.us at least five business days ahead to ask whether a $50 obstruction permit can cover it.
  3. Ask whether the quote assumes sorted debris, since South Canyon Landfill charges $111 rather than $66 per ton in-county for unsorted C&D, and keep food waste out of an open box under the City's wildlife rules.

Roaring Fork Valley hauler (Carbondale-area address per third-party listings, not verified on its own pages) whose roll-off page names Glenwood Springs among the communities it serves. Its sizes page points to Waste Connections weight guidelines, and the City links a Waste Connections pickup calendar for its service. It is also the City's contracted PAYT residential cart hauler, but that contract does not cover roll-offs. Its roll-off page bars batteries, chemicals and electronics, requires refrigerators to be certified freon-free, and says some items carry handling fees.

Glenwood Springs-specific temporary dumpster page from a national hauler. It says city or county permit costs are generally not included, bars batteries, asbestos, chemicals and flammable liquids, and may charge extra for some materials. It also offers the 3-yard Bagster bag (rated to 3,300 pounds). The page's size lists conflict, so confirm the container booked.

The Glenwood Springs URL serves a page written for Grand Junction, where the company says its local hub is. Glenwood Springs is mentioned only as the eastern edge of its I-70 service area, so confirm it will deliver to your address and whether a distance charge applies. No street address is given. It bars refrigerators, flammables, liquids, tires and some electronics.

Glenwood Springs' right-of-way permit says dumpsters shall not be stored in City right-of-way

The City's Right of Way Permit is required for any work within City right-of-way. Its Section 1 covers a right-of-way obstruction only, for a $50 fee, with the obstruction's address, reason, start and end dates and hours. A certified traffic control plan is needed if the obstruction is in a travel lane, bike lane, alley, trail or sidewalk, but not if it occupies parking stalls only. Applications go to eng.permits@cogs.us (970-384-6435) and need five business days of staff review. Working without a permit draws a stop-work order, then fines of $50 and $500. However, the form's general requirements also say construction equipment, trash, dumpsters and materials shall not be stored in City right-of-way. Plan on keeping the roll-off on your driveway or lot. If it truly must go on the street, ask Engineering before booking whether a short obstruction permit can cover it. We could not read the Municipal Code's streets provisions, because the City's Municode library refused automated access. These rules apply only inside city limits; some 81601 addresses are in unincorporated Garfield County.

What matters locally

South Canyon Landfill charges far more for unsorted construction loads

The City owns and runs South Canyon Landfill at 1205 County Road 134, west of town. It is open weekdays 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. to noon; from January through March only the first Saturday of each month is open. Its fee page lists construction, demolition and loose trash at $66 per ton in-county ($100 out-of-county). Unsorted C&D, meaning a load with more than 5% divertible material by volume as judged by landfill staff, costs $111 per ton in-county ($173 out-of-county). Concrete and masonry are $44 per ton, mattresses $15.45 each, appliances $10.30 and refrigerators or freezers $41.20. The minimum is $15 per load, and uncovered loads pay $40 extra. The landfill's info sheet says sorting is mandatory for most building and demolition permits in the City, except residential projects under 1,000 square feet. Ask your hauler whether its price assumes a sorted load. No hazardous waste is accepted.

Spring landfill voucher and HHW day for city residents

Each spring the City mails one landfill voucher per household inside city limits on request. Requests open in early April and close April 30, and the voucher stays valid through July 31. It covers up to 3 cubic yards, about one pickup load, of bulky furniture, metal, wire, bicycles, mowers, wood and pallets, leaves and unbagged brush at South Canyon Landfill. It excludes tires, appliances, household garbage, construction waste and electronics, which the landfill takes for a fee. The City also holds one household hazardous waste drop-off day each spring at the Community Center, free with a driver's license showing a city address (May 23 in 2026; the events page lists May 15 for 2027). Year-round HHW goes to Pitkin County's Solid Waste Center near Aspen. A small garage cleanout may fit within the voucher instead of a roll-off.

Questions about renting in Glenwood Springs.

Does Glenwood Springs' pay-as-you-throw trash contract cover roll-off dumpsters?

No source we read says so. The City's contract with Mountain Waste & Recycling covers curbside cart service for residential households and expressly leaves out businesses, complexes of eight or more units, and properties on a shared dumpster. Article 100.010 makes residents responsible for removing construction debris and furniture. It also requires every collector other than the City's residential contractor to report its roll-off customers and tonnage each year, which assumes private roll-off service continues. The code limits collection to owners, the City, City contractors and state-certificated haulers, so ask a roll-off company whether it holds a Colorado PUC certificate or a City contract along with its City business license. Section 100.010.090 also bars storing any trash container in a street, alley or easement.

Can I put a dumpster on the street in Glenwood Springs?

Plan not to. The City's Right of Way Permit form offers a $50 obstruction-only permit with five business days of review, and a traffic control plan unless only parking stalls are used. The same form's general requirements say dumpsters, trash, construction equipment and materials shall not be stored in City right-of-way. No dumpster-specific code section, maximum stay or setback was found. Email eng.permits@cogs.us (970-384-6435) before booking street placement.
