Dumpster rental
in Lafayette.

Lafayette's Three Cart Program with Republic Services covers household carts and quarterly bulky pickups, so a few large items may not need a dumpster at all. For remodel or cleanout debris, private roll-off companies advertise openly in Lafayette. Keep the container on your driveway if you can: a dumpster in the City right-of-way needs a City Right-of-Way permit, which requires a Lafayette contractor license and a street-cut bond.

The first decision in Lafayette

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That is the only company here publishing Lafayette prices ($403 to $603 for 3 days to 1 week, 6 to 20 yards) and extra-day rates, but no included weight. WM and redbox+ offer larger 20 to 40-yard containers with no published prices or tonnage, and Budget Dumpster is a booking service that arranges another company's container.

Your local checklist
  1. Confirm the address is inside Lafayette city limits rather than unincorporated Boulder County, and check your water bill to see whether you are in the Three Cart Program.
  2. If you are a program household, schedule your free quarterly bulky pickup with Republic (303-286-2400) for a few large items before paying for a roll-off.
  3. If the container must sit on the street, have the rental company confirm in writing that it holds a Lafayette Contractor License and will obtain the City Right-of-Way permit (rowpermits@lafayetteco.gov) before delivery, and ask who pays the fee.

Lafayette lists dumpsters and roll-offs among items that need a Right-of-Way permit

The City of Lafayette's Right-of-Way Permit page says any work in the right-of-way, or storing or staging equipment and materials there, requires a permit, and it names storage containers, roll-offs and dumpsters among the covered items. Applicants must hold a valid City of Lafayette Contractor License and provide a $5,000 street-cut bond (original delivered to the Finance Department), and every contractor on the job must be listed on the permit. Applications go through the City's online services portal (lafayetteco.govbuilt.com); questions go to rowpermits@lafayetteco.gov or 303-665-5588. The page says City Council approved an updated ROW fee schedule on July 9, 2026, but it does not show the amounts, and it does not state a maximum placement period, lead time or setback rules for containers; those are in Chapter 105 (Streets and Sidewalks) of the City code, which could not be read for this guide. The page does not address containers on private driveways. These rules apply inside Lafayette city limits; some Lafayette mailing addresses are in unincorporated Boulder County, so confirm which government covers your street.

What matters locally

Three Cart Program households get quarterly bulky pickups before they need a bin

The City's Garbage, Recycling and Compost page says households in the Three Cart Program get one free bulky item collection per quarter, scheduled with Republic Services (303-286-2400), plus an annual bulky item cleanup of up to five items and one extra curbside bulky pickup a year. Paid 2026 bulky rates are $38.80 for a mattress or box spring or a large appliance and $27.71 for a sofa, chair or other furniture. Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners with Freon go to Eco-Cycle's CHaRM at 6400 Arapahoe Road in Boulder (303-444-6634), not the curb. Households that opt out of the program pay a $17.32 monthly solid waste fee in 2026 and do not get these program pickups through the City.

Paint, chemicals and electronics have free or low-cost drop-offs

Lafayette's free Hard-to-Recycle Event (April 25, 2026, at Flatirons Church, 201 Waneka Parkway, registration required with a Lafayette water bill and ID) took latex and oil-based paint, cleaning products, batteries, small electronics, scrap metal, bikes and yard branches. Year-round, Boulder County's Hazardous Materials Management Facility at 1901 63rd Street in Boulder is open Wednesday to Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. (720-564-2251) for its Boulder County service area. Keep these items out of a roll-off.

City code licenses residential collectors and excludes construction debris from the program

Ordinance No. 21, Series 2020 amended Chapter 100 (Solid Waste) of the Lafayette code. It describes the Residential Waste Collection Services Program as having one designated collector as the sole provider for program participants, and it defines excluded waste to include commercial and industrial waste and construction debris. Since November 2, 2021, section 100-1.5 has required a City collection license for anyone providing residential collection of trash, recyclables or organics, with exemptions for people hauling their own waste and for construction contractors hauling debris incidental to their own work. The ordinance does not mention roll-off rentals by name.

Questions about renting in Lafayette.

Do I have to rent a dumpster from Republic Services in Lafayette?

No source found says so. Republic is the designated collector for the City's optional Three Cart Program, and Ordinance No. 21, Series 2020 describes it as the sole provider for program participants, but the same ordinance lists construction debris as excluded waste and licenses residential collectors generally rather than reserving containers to Republic. Bin There Dump That, WM and redbox+ all advertise roll-offs in Lafayette. Ask any company whether it holds a City collection license, since the City licenses residential waste collectors.

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

Yes. The City's Right-of-Way Permit page lists dumpsters, roll-offs and storage containers among the items that need a permit in the right-of-way. The applicant needs a Lafayette Contractor License and a $5,000 street-cut bond, and applies online through the City portal. The page does not post fee amounts, a maximum placement period or setbacks, so ask the ROW permit team at rowpermits@lafayetteco.gov before delivery.
