Dumpster rental
in Longmont.

Longmont runs its own trash utility, but its only rental container is a 4-yard, one-week dumpster that refuses construction materials, dirt and appliances. For a remodel, roof or big cleanout, book a private roll-off company licensed by the City. Use your driveway if you can, because a dumpster on a City street needs a right-of-way permit and insurance naming the City.

The first decision in Longmont

Start with an eligible hauler.

Bin There Dump That is the only company posting Longmont prices ($403 to $603 for 6- to 20-yard bins, $100 per ton over), but it stops at 20 yards and does not publish included tons. Trash Daddy and Discount Dumpster both offer 14-day rentals up to 40 yards with published included tons and no prices, at $25 and $15 per extra day. WM lists sizes only, and Budget Dumpster is a booking service.

Your local checklist
  1. Check whether the City's $165, 4-yard Rent-A-Dumpster (February to October, one week) can take your debris; it refuses drywall, shingles, concrete, dirt, long lumber and appliances.
  2. Confirm the address is inside incorporated Longmont (not unincorporated Boulder or Weld County), then ask the rental company to confirm it holds a current City of Longmont private refuse collection license.
  3. If the container must go on the street, get a right-of-way permit through the City's Citizen Portal, with insurance naming the City as additional insured, at least two business days before delivery, or keep it on the driveway.

Longmont needs a right-of-way permit for a dumpster on the street

The City of Longmont's Work in the Right-of-Way Permit page lists storage containers, pods and dumpsters as temporary obstructions that need a right-of-way permit before they go in the public right-of-way, under Chapter 13.04 (Work in City Property) of the Longmont Municipal Code. You can apply online through the City's Citizen Portal, or in person at the Development Services Center, 385 Kimbark Street, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. The general fees are a $25 plan review for up to 60 minutes and $30 for up to three inspections. The page does not list a dumpster-specific fee or a maximum number of days. A certificate of insurance naming the City as additional insured ($350,000 per person and $1,000,000 per occurrence) is required. The page says residents usually add this to a homeowner's or renter's policy. A traffic control plan is required when the container blocks traffic, bike lanes or walkways. Permits usually take 24 to 48 hours once everything is approved, and complex ones up to five business days. Contact Public Works Engineering at (303) 651-8330 or PWEng@longmontcolorado.gov. A City form cites section 13.04.310 (Temporary Obstruction Conditions) for placement conditions, but that text was not read. These rules apply inside Longmont city limits, and some Longmont mailing addresses are in unincorporated Boulder or Weld County.

What matters locally

The City rents a 4-yard dumpster for small household cleanouts

Longmont Waste Services rents a 4-cubic-yard residential dumpster (about 5 ft wide, 6 ft long and 4 ft tall) from February through October. It costs $165 on the City utility bill and is delivered on a Thursday and picked up the next Thursday. It cannot take dirt, rock, sod, concrete, brick, shingles, drywall, plaster, tile, lumber over 3 ft, paint, tires, car parts, hazardous materials, electronics, large appliances, ashes or liquids, and the lid must close at pickup. That rules out most remodel or roofing debris. The same page lists private companies, including High Altitude Dumpster, One Way Disposal, Republic Services, Waste Connections and Western Disposal, as other options. Reserve through Waste Services; the City's help line is 303-776-6050.

Large-item curbside pickup and the Longmont Recycling Center

City trash customers can book curbside large-item pickup from February through October: $60 for one or two items and $75 for three (the maximum), billed to the utility account and collected on the regular trash day. Contractor, remodel and landscaping debris and business waste are excluded, as are appliances, refrigerators and large electronics. The Longmont Recycling Center (Waste Diversion Center) at 140 Martin St. (303-651-8416, Monday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) is free for noncommercial use by residents of incorporated Longmont who show ID and a City trash and recycling bill less than six months old. It takes yard waste, tree limbs, scrap and bulky metal, batteries and oil. Non-residents and contractors can bring only yard waste, at $25 to $40 per vehicle load or $20 per cubic yard for trailers. It does not take paint, solvents, pesticides or other chemicals.

Private haulers must hold a City license

The City's Private Refuse Collection Service License page says Municipal Code Chapter 6.101 requires every private company that collects, transports or disposes of garbage, recyclables, compost, construction and demolition materials or landscaping materials in Longmont to be licensed. Licenses expire December 31. The fee is $25 a year for the first truck and $15 for each additional truck. The City's application form lists residential and commercial trash collection and construction and demolition waste collection as licensed services, and it covers roll-off vehicles. The City's own Commercial & Business Services page says the City collects only from homes and multifamily buildings under 8 units, and it lists private haulers for everyone else.

City code leaves roll-offs to licensed private haulers

Longmont Municipal Code Chapter 14.12 defines containers as carts, dumpsters or roll-off bins supplied by the City or a licensed hauler, and section 14.12.100 says the City will not collect debris produced by construction, remodeling or landscaping work. Chapter 6.101 requires private refuse collectors to hold a City license ($25 a year for the first truck, $15 for each additional) and bars collection between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. in most of the city.

Questions about renting in Longmont.

Do I have to rent a dumpster from the City of Longmont?

No source found requires it. The City's Rent-A-Dumpster is a 4-yard residential bin for one week at $165, and its own page lists private companies as other options. The City licenses private haulers, including construction and demolition haulers, under Municipal Code Chapter 6.101. It collects only from homes and buildings under 8 units, so other properties use private haulers. Ask any private company to confirm its current Longmont license.

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

Yes. The City's right-of-way permit page lists dumpsters, storage containers and pods as temporary obstructions that need a permit before they go in the public right-of-way. It charges a $25 plan review, requires a certificate of insurance naming the City, and usually takes 24 to 48 hours once approved. Some rental pages say no permit is needed, but the City's page says one is. The page does not address driveway placement.
