Dumpster rental
in Lakewood.

Lakewood leaves trash to private haulers, so pick any company on the City's licensed list. Keep the container on your property if you can; the City allows street placement only through a Public Way dumpster permit in eTRAKiT when there is no suitable private spot. Then compare equal days and tons.

The first decision in Lakewood

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That is the only one with Lakewood prices: $350 to $485 for 4- to 20-yard bins with 0.5 to 2.5 tons included and a typical 7-day rental, but nothing over 20 yards. WM and Waste Connections offer up to 40 yards on Lakewood pages with no posted price, days or tonnage. Budget Dumpster is a booking service.

Your local checklist
  1. Confirm the address is inside the City of Lakewood rather than unincorporated Jefferson County, and check that the company actually delivering the container appears on the City Clerk's current licensed-hauler list.
  2. If there is no room on your lot, apply in eTRAKiT for a Public Way permit under the Dumpster or Moving POD subtype, and ask Engineering (303-987-7500) about the current fee, lead time and how long the container may stay.
  3. For a demolition, or an addition or alteration over 2,500 square feet, file the Green Halo waste plan before the permit and keep every roll-off weight ticket for the deposit refund.

A Lakewood street placement needs a Public Way dumpster permit

The City of Lakewood's eTRAKiT permit-types sheet (revised January 2022) lists a Public Way permit with a 'Dumpster or Moving POD' subtype for temporarily placing a storage container or construction dumpster in a public street, and says street placement is allowed only when there is no suitable spot on the private property. Applications go through the City's eTRAKiT portal. The City's Public Way inspection fee handout, effective January 1, 2021, lists a dumpster in the right-of-way as a no-fee permit, but it warns that fees change periodically and asks applicants to confirm with the permit counter (Civic Center North, 303-987-7500). Neither City document states a lead time or a maximum number of days in the street; a 30-day limit quoted by some rental websites could not be confirmed from a City source. The same sheet says no permit is needed for temporary storage or a moving POD on private property for fewer than three days; it does not say how a longer driveway placement is treated, so ask Engineering (Engineering@LakewoodCO.gov). These rules cover the incorporated City of Lakewood, not unincorporated Jefferson County addresses with a Lakewood mailing city, which follow Jefferson County's own right-of-way permit.

What matters locally

City code caps a street roll-off at 30 days

Lakewood Municipal Code section 8.14.028 requires a no-charge public way permit before a temporary roll-off dumpster is placed in the public right-of-way, and says it may not stay there more than 30 days unless due cause for an extension is shown. Section 8.14.025 says that otherwise, containers must sit on private property without extending onto the right-of-way.

Every hauler, roll-offs included, needs a Lakewood license

The City says it does not contract with haulers on behalf of residents and does not provide trash service itself; residents, businesses and property managers choose their own hauler, and HOAs may already have one. The City Clerk's licensing page says every solid waste hauler collecting in Lakewood must hold a Commercial Waste Hauler License ($75 a year, renewed by March 1), and that junk removal companies that branch into roll-off rentals or construction debris collection need one too. The Clerk publishes a licensed-hauler list with a roll-off column, updated each March and offered without City endorsement.

Larger demolition and building projects must track their debris

Lakewood's construction and demolition recycling rules (Building Code 14.02.040 J and Zoning Ordinance Article 13) apply to demolitions that produce asphalt, concrete, cardboard, untreated wood, metal or reusable salvage, and to new buildings, additions or alterations over 2,500 square feet of interior space. Those projects need a waste plan approved in Green Halo before the permit is issued, weight tickets uploaded during the job, and a refundable deposit of $1 per square foot (up to $100,000) that is forfeited if the final report is more than 60 days late. The City's C&D directory lists licensed roll-off haulers and recyclers; questions go to cdwt@LakewoodCO.gov.

Chemicals and electronics go to Rooney Road, by appointment

Household chemicals and electronics are taken at the Rooney Road Recycling Center, 151 S. Rooney Road, by appointment only through rooneyroadrecycling.org. The City page says a copay applies to household chemical waste and electronics are charged by the pound; it does not list the amounts. Leftover paint can go free to PaintCare drop-off sites, and the City's free Quail Street Recycling Center (1068 Quail St.) takes sorted cardboard, scrap metal, cans, paper, glass and plastic bottles in car or small-pickup loads, with no trailers.

Questions about renting in Lakewood.

Does the City of Lakewood pick up trash or assign a hauler I have to use?

No. The City says it does not provide trash service or contract with haulers for residents; you choose your own hauler unless your HOA already has one. What the City does require is that every hauler collecting in Lakewood, including roll-off rental companies, holds a City Commercial Waste Hauler License, and it publishes the licensed list each March.

Is there a fee for a Lakewood dumpster street permit?

The City's most recent Public Way fee handout found (effective January 1, 2021) lists a dumpster in the right-of-way as a no-fee permit, but it is still a required permit and the handout says fees change periodically. Apply through eTRAKiT and confirm the current fee with the permit counter at 303-987-7500 before the container is delivered.
