Dumpster rental
in Orchard Mesa.

Unincorporated Orchard Mesa has no town government, and we found no Mesa County rule limiting which company hauls your roll-off, so Grand Junction-area firms compete for the work. Mesa County has no dumpster permit, so keep the box on your own lot and off the County road. County rules want rubbish kept in tightly closed containers and hauled off regularly, so tarp the box and book only as many days as the job needs. RonSon posts the simplest flat 7-day prices; Humpty Dumpsters charges delivery plus weight.

The first decision in Orchard Mesa

Match the terms to your project.

The real difference is how you pay for weight. RonSon charges a flat $250 to $330 for 7 days, with 1 ton included only in the 8-yard; its 15- and 20-yard boxes add $60 per ton. Humpty Dumpsters charges a $300 delivery for a 20-yard, $61 per ton and $10 a day after day two, so it suits short, light jobs. Dumpster Dan offers up to 5-day, weekly and monthly rentals but no posted prices. Trash Daddy includes 14 days and 1 to 4 tons, but it is a multi-market company with no local address.

Your local checklist

Check whether your parcel is in unincorporated Mesa County or inside Grand Junction city limits; a few Orchard Mesa pockets near U.S. 50 and Santa Clara Avenue were annexed, and the City's trash rules differ from the County's.
Set the box on your driveway or yard, clear of the County road shoulder and roadside irrigation ditches; Mesa County offers no dumpster permit, and its road regulations penalize unauthorized obstruction of the right-of-way.
Keep the roll-off tarped between loads and schedule pickup promptly, since Mesa County's Land Development Code and Ordinance 15 call for rubbish in tightly closed containers and regular removal.

Its 20-yard page lists its service area as all areas of Grand Junction, naming Orchard Mesa, Fruitvale, Redlands and Pear Park, plus all of Clifton and parts of Palisade, Fruita and Whitewater. Pricing is delivery-plus-weight, so the final bill depends on what the load weighs; ask for the scale ticket.

The only company here with a full 7-day posted price, but its boxes top out at 20 yards. The site spells the name several ways (RonSon, Ronson, RonSons).

Local Western Colorado roll-off company (no street address published) whose service-area page lists Orchard Mesa, Colorado.

No Mesa County dumpster permit found; keep an Orchard Mesa roll-off on your own lot

Mesa County Public Works lists its right-of-way permits (Annual Aerial Maintenance, Surface Alteration, Underground and Utility, Oversize/Overweight and Roadway Special Event), and none of them covers parking a dumpster or other container in the road. The Surface Alteration Permit ($25, apply at least 15 working days ahead through the County's online portal) is for work that changes the right-of-way surface, such as landscaping, sidewalks, curb and gutter, or driveway improvements. The County's Road and Right-of-Way Use Regulations (revised 2012) do not mention containers either, but Section 2.0 says that for any unauthorized obstruction or use of a County road or right-of-way the County may seek fees, damages, injunctive relief or criminal complaints. We could not establish a dumpster-specific County rule, so we cannot say that one is allowed in the road with or without a permit. The practical answer is to set the box on your driveway or yard, clear of the road shoulder and roadside irrigation ditches. If you want it anywhere in a County road or right-of-way, call Mesa County Public Works Administration first (970-244-1765, PubWksAdmin@mesacounty.us). If your address is inside Grand Junction city limits, the City's rules apply instead.

What matters locally

The county landfill on U.S. 50: $32 a ton for loose loads, $10 minimum

The Mesa County Landfill is at 3071 U.S. 50, Grand Junction 81503, on the highway that runs through Orchard Mesa (970-241-6846), open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Its posted fee schedule charges $32 per ton for loose trash from residents or haulers, with a $10 minimum for loads up to 380 pounds; the County cut the loose rate from $51 to $32 a ton in February 2025. Mattresses and box springs are $20 each, car and truck tires $6 each without a rim and $12 with one, and demolition debris is listed at $32 a ton as special waste that needs prior approval from the landfill's Regulatory Compliance Manager. Every load must arrive covered and secured or the fee is doubled. The landfill refuses hazardous waste, liquids, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, electronics, appliances that still contain refrigerant, and waste from outside Mesa County. For a small cleanup, hauling a tarped pickup load yourself can cost far less than a roll-off.

Hazardous waste and refrigerated appliances go to the County facility at the landfill

Paint, automotive fluids, batteries, pool and garden chemicals, light bulbs and electronics cannot go in a roll-off or the landfill. Mesa County's Hazardous Waste Collection Facility shares the 3071 U.S. 50 site (970-256-9543) and is open Wednesday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Its fee list includes $65 each for refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners, $10 for a non-hazardous appliance, and 80 cents a pound for electronics. Empty all food from refrigerators and freezers before you bring them.

Questions about renting in Orchard Mesa.

Do I need a Mesa County permit to put a dumpster in front of my Orchard Mesa house?

We found no Mesa County permit for that. Public Works lists right-of-way permits for aerial work, surface alterations, underground utilities, oversize loads and special events, and none covers a dumpster or other container. The County's Road and Right-of-Way Use Regulations do not mention containers either, but they say the County may seek fees, damages or other remedies for any unauthorized obstruction or use of a County road or right-of-way. That is not a rule that lets you park a box in the road. Put it on your own property, or call Public Works Administration at 970-244-1765 before placing anything in the right-of-way.

How long can a roll-off full of debris sit on my Orchard Mesa lot?

Mesa County does not set a time limit for roll-offs specifically. Its Land Development Code (Section 6.06 D) requires rubbish, trash and debris to be kept in tightly closed containers and removed to an approved disposal site at least once a calendar month. Ordinance 15, adopted in 2023, requires accumulated rubbish to be removed at least once a week, and says the stricter rule applies when two rules conflict. Neither mentions an exemption for construction dumpsters, so keep the box covered and get it swapped or hauled away promptly. Enforcement starts with a written notice to cure, normally giving 30 days.
