Dumpster rental
in Golden.

Golden's single-hauler contract with 5280 Waste Solutions covers household carts and one free bulky pickup a year. A project roll-off is a separate private rental. Use the free bulky, mattress and appliance pickups first. If you still need a container, keep it on the driveway where you can, or apply for the City's right-of-way occupancy permit at least three working days ahead.

The first decision in Golden

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That is the only company posting Golden prices ($350 to $485 for 4 to 20 yards, 7 days, 0.5 to 2.5 tons). Anderson & Son's, with a Golden address, offers 6 to 15 yards for 7 days at $40/day after. Trash Daddy gives 14 days and up to 4 tons. WM, redbox+ and Budget Dumpster, a booking service, publish sizes but not prices or terms.

Your local checklist
  1. Use the Jefferson County address lookup to confirm your address shows 'Golden' rather than 'Unincorporated', because City programs and the City right-of-way permit apply only inside city limits.
  2. Before renting, use your one free 5280 large-item pickup ((303) 277-8727) and the City's free curbside mattress and appliance pickup. Bulky furniture and appliances may then not need a container at all.
  3. If the container must sit in a street, alley or parking lane, ask the company whether it will apply for the City's right-of-way occupancy permit. Allow three working days, budget the $75 fee plus the closure fee, and post No Parking signs 24 hours ahead.

Golden has no dumpster-specific street permit; street containers fall under the general right-of-way occupancy permit

No City of Golden page found here sets a dumpster- or roll-off-specific placement rule. The City's Right-of-Way Permits page and ROW Permit Guidelines cover any occupancy of streets, sidewalks, trails, parking lanes, alleys and bike lanes. Each occupancy needs a MUTCD traffic control plan. Permits are date-specific, and 'No Parking' signs must go up at least 24 hours ahead. Applications are due at least three working days before the activity, and occupancy is barred on City holidays. The 2026 application form lists a $75 non-refundable application fee plus a closure fee of lanes closed x days closed x length in feet x $0.17. It adds a $50 extension fee and a work-without-permit fee of 50% of applicable fees. Contractors must be registered with the City and show general liability insurance. Apply through the City's Accela portal under Public Works. The guidelines page lists (303) 277-8702 and building@cityofgolden.net, while the form header lists 303-384-8151. Before booking a street placement, ask the City whether a rented roll-off needs this permit and whether the rental company or the homeowner should apply. The City pages checked say nothing about a container on a private driveway. These rules cover addresses inside Golden city limits. Some Golden mailing addresses are unincorporated Jefferson County, which the City tells residents to confirm with the Jeffco address lookup.

What matters locally

The City's single-hauler program covers carts and one free bulky pickup, not roll-offs

Golden contracts with 5280 Waste Solutions for its Pay-As-You-Throw residential program, which took over from Republic Services on September 1, 2026. Monthly rates depend on trash cart size: $9.24 for 32 gallons, $18.16 for 64 and $30.06 for 96. Weekly 2- to 4-yard program dumpsters run $38.76 to $54.36 a month, and extra-bag tags cost $3.73 at City Hall. Each household gets one free large-item pickup per calendar year from 5280 at (303) 277-8727, and more can be booked for a fee. Concrete, dirt, rock, brick, tires, appliances, paint and electronics are excluded. 5280's own Golden page lists roll-off dumpster rental under additional services outside the City program, and it says large amounts of construction debris do not belong in residential trash.

Free curbside mattress and appliance recycling, plus a fall clean-up drop-off

The City offers free curbside pickup of mattresses and large appliances (washers, dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, stoves and drained water heaters) for single-family homes and townhomes inside city limits. Book online or at (303) 953-5800; requests in by Thursday are usually scheduled for the following Tuesday. The 2026 Community Clean-up Days (September 19 and 20 at 1300 Catamount Dr.) took metal, non-hazardous waste and electronics free from residents who showed a state-issued ID. Hazardous waste, propane and batteries go to Rooney Road Recycling Center by appointment, and paint goes to PaintCare sites. Pulling these items out can shrink the container you need.

Check the source

Reusable building materials have donation outlets

The City's hard-to-recycle guide points usable cabinets, doors, windows, lumber, fixtures and appliances to the Habitat Home Improvement Outlet in Wheat Ridge and ReSource Central in Boulder, both of which may offer pickup. Neither takes paint or stains. For household chemicals the guide points to Rooney Road Recycling Center (appointment only, fees may apply).

Check the source

The City contract covers carts; bulk loads can go to any licensed hauler

Golden Municipal Code Chapter 4.82 applies only to the provider under contract with the City for residential cart collection. Section 4.82.030 says bulk waste and recyclables are removed by private arrangement with that provider, another provider licensed to haul in the City, or the resident, so a roll-off from another licensed company is allowed.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Golden.

Does Golden's city trash contract with 5280 Waste Solutions include roll-off dumpsters?

The City and 5280 pages describe the contract as residential cart service (trash, recycling and compost), optional small weekly dumpsters, extra-bag tags and one free large-item pickup a year. 5280 lists roll-off rental as a separate additional service outside the City program. Neither page says construction roll-offs must come from the contract hauler, and several other companies advertise roll-offs in Golden. The City code chapter on the program (4.82) was not reviewed here, so ask the City at (303) 384-8000 if you are unsure.

Do I need a permit to put a dumpster on the street in Golden?

Golden does not publish a dumpster-specific permit. Its right-of-way rules require a permit and a traffic control plan for any occupancy of streets, sidewalks, parking lanes or alleys. Apply at least three working days ahead; the fee is $75 plus a closure fee based on lanes, days and length. Contractors must be registered with the City, so confirm with the City (303-277-8702) whether you or the rental company should apply.
