Dumpster rental
in Montrose.

Inside Montrose city limits, the City is your trash collector, but it doesn't rent roll-offs. For a small job, a City special collection or a temporary 350-gallon cart ($50 with one empty) may be enough, and April's Spring Cleanup is free. For a remodel or roofing tear-off, private roll-offs are advertised by a Montrose-based company, Bruin and WM, but none posts prices, so get written quotes. Ask the City first whether its sanitation territory affects private roll-offs at your address.

The first decision in Montrose

Match the terms to your project.

None of the three roll-off companies posts a Montrose price. Bruin is the only one that publishes sizes (12, 20 and 30 yards) and says extra days cost extra, though it gives neither the days nor the fee. WM lists sizes and dimensions that conflict within its own page. Better Off Roll Off is the only one based in Montrose and advertises 24-hour, same-day dispatch, but it publishes no sizes or terms. The City's 90- and 350-gallon carts are the only option here with posted prices.

Your local checklist
  1. Confirm the address is inside Montrose city limits (many 81401 and 81403 addresses are unincorporated county). City Code Chapter 3-1 has the City collect only from City-provided containers and doesn't reserve roll-offs, but residential customers are billed for City trash service whether or not they use it.
  2. If the box must sit on a City street, file the Right of Way Use Permit with the City Clerk and circulate the notice to every home and business within 75 feet before delivery day.
  3. Get included tons, rental days and extra-day fees in writing; the county landfill charges $71.31 per ton for construction debris in 2026, and tires, appliances and mattresses carry extra fees.

Western Slope hauler whose homepage has a roll-off section headed for Montrose, Grand Junction and Delta and a Montrose County phone line; the only street address shown is in Naturita. It bars batteries, chemicals, flammable liquids, paint, tires and hazardous materials. Its FAQ says asbestos isn't accepted while its size pages say asbestos hauling is available, so ask. Bruin also holds the City's landfill services agreement (City waste goes to Bruin's facility), which is a disposal contract, not a collection franchise.

Montrose uses a general Right of Way Use Permit through the City Clerk, with neighbor notice within 75 feet

The City's Licenses & Permits page lists a Right of Way Use Permit among its public-property permits, and the application (revised 02/2017) covers remodeling or construction use of the right-of-way and temporary parking of commercial or oversized vehicles. Applicants list the requested dates and location, describe and sketch what will be placed in the right-of-way, and must attach proof that every business and residence within 75 feet was notified (a circulation form is included). The permittee indemnifies the City, must keep the area safe and clean, pays for any damage, and must remove everything at its own expense if the City revokes the permit, which it may do at any time. Approval is signed by the City Clerk after staff review. The form does not name dumpsters or roll-offs and publishes no fee, lead time or maximum stay, so call the City Clerk's Office (970-240-1400) before booking street placement. A container kept on your own driveway is outside this form. These rules apply only inside Montrose city limits; many Montrose 81401/81403 addresses are in unincorporated Montrose County.

What matters locally

City special collections and April Spring Cleanup can replace a small rental

The City's Sanitation Division offers special collections for construction waste, furniture, appliances, tree limbs and freight packaging, items that routine cart service won't take. They are billed on the utility bill by amount and type of material (the residential guide lists a $15 minimum, $30 for large loads, plus time, equipment and landfill fees); call 970-240-1480 to schedule. City residents can also use the free Spring Cleanup drop-off on the San Juan Bypass (Highway 50) across from Sunshine Peak Apartments, held April 24 and 25 in 2026. It takes scrap materials, unwanted appliances ($20 for Freon units) and landscape waste with limbs under 6 inches, but not household trash, hazardous materials, paint, tires, TVs or glass-screen electronics. City residential customers can drop glass-screen electronics at Public Works, 1221 6450 Road.

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

Probably, but the City doesn't say so specifically. Its Right of Way Use Permit, approved by the City Clerk, covers remodeling or construction use of the right-of-way and requires proof that neighbors within 75 feet were notified. The application doesn't mention dumpsters and publishes no fee, lead time or maximum stay, so call the City Clerk's Office at 970-240-1400 before booking street placement.
