Dumpster rental
in Thornton.

Thornton's own crews haul household carts, but the City offers no roll-offs. For a small cleanout, price the City's Click & Haul curbside pickup ($72 to $260 by load) first. For a larger remodel, rent from a private company and keep the container on the driveway. If it has to sit on the street, someone must file Thornton's free non-construction traffic control permit, which takes several business days.

The first decision in Thornton

Match the terms to your project.

Bin There Dump That is the only company posting Thornton prices: $403 to $603 for 6- to 20-yard bins over 3 days to a week, with set extra-day fees but no included-weight figure. WM and redbox+ offer larger 30-yard (and possibly 40-yard) boxes but publish no prices or terms, and WM's sizes conflict on its own page. Budget Dumpster books through other haulers.

Your local checklist
  1. Confirm the address is inside Thornton city limits and, if you are a City trash customer, compare a Click & Haul load price with a roll-off quote before booking.
  2. For street placement, have the rental company (or you) file Thornton's Non-Construction Traffic Control Permit with a traffic control plan at least 5 to 10 business days ahead; unpermitted obstructions can draw a $500 penalty.
  3. Ask each company for the included tons, per-ton overage and extra-day rate in writing, and keep concrete, dirt, tires, electronics and hazardous waste out of the box unless the company agrees in writing to take them.

It asks for 60 feet of straight-line space and about 23 to 25 feet of overhead clearance, says heavy materials cannot be mixed with other debris, and advises getting a Thornton Other Traffic Control Permit before street placement. The City's own page now files containers under the non-construction permit.

Thornton handles on-street roll-offs through a free non-construction traffic control permit

The City of Thornton's Infrastructure Right of Way (ROW) Permits page puts roll-off dumpsters and on-street containers under its Non-Construction Traffic Control Permit, reviewed by Traffic Engineering, and says these carry no fee. Other non-construction permits have a $50 processing fee. The online application has an On-Street Container/Roll-Off Dumpster box. It asks for the dates and times requested, a description of the activity, and uploaded traffic control plans showing the dimensions of the work area, and the applicant agrees to follow the federal traffic-control manual (MUTCD). Traffic control permits usually take about 10 business days, or about 5 when no construction permit is involved; the page gives no separate lead time for container permits. Unpermitted or non-compliant obstructions in the right-of-way can bring a $500 penalty. Neither the page nor the form sets a maximum number of days, setbacks, a size limit or who must apply, so ask your rental company to pull the permit or confirm the details with Traffic Engineering (720-977-6490). These rules apply inside Thornton city limits.

What matters locally

Click & Haul is the City's paid curbside pickup for bulky items and remodel debris

Thornton's Click & Haul service collects furniture, appliances, mattresses, water heaters, fence panels, branches, yard waste and remodeling debris from the street by appointment. The 2026 rate ordinance (Section 9.7) prices it at $72 for a quarter load, $121 for a half load, $180 for three-quarters and $260 for a full load, plus $30 per mattress. The City's page puts the $72 minimum at about 6 cubic yards, or two pickup beds. Charges go on the next utility bill. Concrete, masonry, dirt, sod, tires, liquids, hazardous materials and many electronics are excluded. Residents who are not City trash customers may still qualify after a supervisor reviews the address. The City's page and the ordinance set a 48-hour cancellation window for the $10 fee, but the booking portal says 24 hours. Book at clickandhaul.thorntonco.gov or call Environmental Services at 720-977-6200. For a small remodel this can cost less than a roll-off.

Landfill Day and a Veolia hazardous waste voucher for residents

The City's 2026 event page lists a Landfill Day at Republic Services' Tower Landfill (19260 E. 88th Ave., Commerce City). At that event Thornton residents with proof of residency can drop off one covered load of non-hazardous debris without the gate fee, using a car, pickup or small single-axle trailer. Electronics and liquids are excluded, and mattresses cost extra. The 2026 event was on Saturday, November 7, so watch the page for the next date. For paint and chemicals, residents can email environmentalservices@ThorntonCO.gov for one voucher per household per year. The voucher covers the $30 facility fee at Veolia's Household Hazardous Waste Recycling Center in Henderson (9131 E. 96th Ave., by appointment); residents still pay Veolia's per-pound charges. Keep these materials out of any roll-off.

Remodel debris can't go in City carts

Thornton City Code Chapter 58 says lumber, rocks, bricks, concrete blocks, tires, sod, dirt, gravel and materials from construction or remodeling may not be placed in City-provided containers or collected by the City without the director's approval. It also lets customers suspend or end City cart service with two business days' notice. Plan on a private roll-off or a self-haul trip for project debris.

Questions about renting in Thornton.

Does the City of Thornton rent roll-off dumpsters?

Not that we found. Thornton's Trash & Recycling and Click & Haul pages and its 2026 solid waste rate ordinance cover City cart service and paid curbside pickups of up to a full load ($72 to $260), but no roll-off containers. The ordinance says residents' participation in City cart service is voluntary. Private companies, including Bin There Dump That, WM and redbox+, advertise roll-offs in Thornton. City Code Chapter 58 calls City collection a service that is optional to all customers, bars construction and remodeling materials from City containers, and no longer has a private garbage collector license (that division was repealed in 2005).

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

Yes. Thornton treats roll-off dumpsters and on-street containers in the right-of-way as a Non-Construction Traffic Control Permit, which has no fee. Apply online with your requested dates and a traffic control plan, and allow about 5 to 10 business days. The City does not publish a maximum stay or setback rules for containers, so confirm them with Traffic Engineering at 720-977-6490. A container on private property, such as your driveway, is not covered by this permit.
