Dumpster rental
in Mead.

Mead leaves trash collection to HOAs and private haulers, so a roll-off is a private rental. High Altitude Dumpster is the one company that posts full Mead-area prices and weight limits; get the others in writing. Keep the box on your driveway if you can, because Mead's street permits are general obstruction and right-of-way permits with no published dumpster terms. For a single truckload, Weld County's free landfill voucher may be cheaper than a rental.

The first decision in Mead

Start with an eligible hauler.

High Altitude publishes flat prices ($350 to $525) with 1 to 3 tons, a 7- or 10-day term and $100 per ton over. Trash Daddy gives a longer 14-day term and $25 extension days but no Mead price and conflicting 40-yard weights. WM posts no prices and lists conflicting sizes. Budget Dumpster books through other haulers.

Your local checklist
  1. Confirm the address is inside Mead town limits; an 80542 mailing address can be in unincorporated Weld County, where Town permits and Town hauler licensing do not apply.
  2. Before placing a roll-off in a Mead street, ask Engineering or the Town Clerk whether the $50 Excavate / Obstruction Permit or the $50 Right-of-Way Permit applies, how long it lasts, and whether the $1,000-per-day extension fee in the fee schedule could apply to you.
  3. Ask the Town whether Section 7-3-80's opaque-screening rule applies to a roll-off within 25 feet of the street, check your HOA's dumpster rules, and compare High Altitude's 7-day price against Trash Daddy's 14-day term if your project will run long.

Mead lists a $50 obstruction permit and a $50 right-of-way permit, but no dumpster-specific rule

Chapter 11, Article II of the Mead Municipal Code is titled Excavations and Obstructions, and permits under it are paid to the Town Clerk at the amounts in the Town's comprehensive fee schedule (Section 11-2-70, as amended by Ordinance 1003). The June 1, 2024 fee schedule lists an Excavate / Obstruction Permit with a $50 base fee (plus actual-cost inspection and road-cut charges where they apply) and a separate $50 Right-of-Way Permit, with a Right-of-Way Permit extension fee shown as $1,000 per day. We could not read the code section on obstructions itself or the Town's permit application, so we have no published lead time, maximum stay, setback or statement that these permits are meant for dumpsters. Keep the container on your driveway where possible, and ask Mead Engineering or the Town Clerk which permit applies before a roll-off goes in the street. These rules apply only inside Mead town limits.

What matters locally

Weld County's free large-item landfill voucher covers one load to Front Range Landfill in Erie

Weld County is offering a limited number of Large Item Disposal Vouchers valid March 2 through December 31, 2026. Each voucher covers one trip, either a pickup load level with the bed rails or one trailer load, up to one ton, at Front Range Landfill (Erie), North Weld Landfill (Ault) or Buffalo Ridge Landfill (Keenesburg); you pay the landfill for anything over that. Pick one up at the county's Dacono or Greeley household hazardous waste sites or the Health Department in Greeley, and call ahead because supply is limited. The county page does not spell out eligibility, so confirm that a Mead address qualifies.

Front Range Landfill rates and Weld County's free hazardous waste drop-off in Dacono

Front Range Landfill (1830 Weld County Road 5, Erie; 303-673-9431) is the nearest landfill to Mead.

Screen a container near the street

Mead Municipal Code Section 7-3-80 says any trash container within 25 feet of a street or public property and visible from it must be shielded by an opaque barrier or fencing, and Section 7-3-40 requires construction debris to be removed promptly and kept from blowing onto neighboring lots. The code does not exempt temporary roll-offs, so if your driveway box sits close to the street, plan for opaque construction fencing or ask the Town how it applies.

Questions about renting in Mead.

Does the Town of Mead provide trash service or rent roll-off dumpsters?

No. The Town's Trash Service page says Mead does not provide trash service and tells residents to check with their HOA for the provider. We found no Town roll-off program. Instead, Municipal Code Section 6-2-110 requires anyone hauling other people's refuse over Town streets to hold a Board-issued commercial refuse hauler license ($30 in the June 2024 fee schedule), and Section 7-3-80 says trash may be removed by commercial haulers licensed in the Town. Ask a hauler whether it holds a current Mead license.

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

Probably, but Mead does not say so specifically. Chapter 11, Article II of the Municipal Code governs excavations and obstructions in public places, and the Town's 2024 fee schedule lists a $50 base fee for an Excavate / Obstruction Permit and $50 for a Right-of-Way Permit. Neither source we could read mentions dumpsters, lead time or a maximum stay, and the Town's permit forms page was not readable to us. Call Mead Engineering before booking street placement.
